Gigantamax Toxtricity counters, weakness, and battle tips in Pokémon Go

Gigantamax Toxtricity is the fifth Gigantamax Pokémon introduced to Pokémon Go, and is available in Max Battles as part of the Go Wild Area event on Nov. 23 and 24, 2024.

Like all the other Gigantamax Battles, Toxtricity will be tough, so players who aren’t ready for the spike in difficulty are going to have a tough time.

Below, we list out some general Gigantamax Max Battle tips and counters for Gigantamax Toxtricity in Pokémon Go.

If you’ve been struggling in Max Battles, here’s some general tips to help you out and make sure you’re an asset to your team. Gigantamax battles involve way more strategy than the usual rampant tapping that you do in raids, so make sure to know what you’re doing before jumping in.

We’ll want to utilize Gigantamax Toxtricity’s weaknesses: ground- and psychic-type moves. Notably, Toxtricity has major weakness against ground-type moves, since it’s both electric- and poison-type.

With the above in mind, bringing an Excadrill is ideal to target that double ground-type weakness. That being said, these are your best counters against Gigantamax Toxtricity if you want options:

Even if you don’t have these powered up, consider just bringing the strongest Dynamax Pokémon you have. If you have a maxed out Dynamax Charizard and your Dynamax Beldum isn’t leveled (and you don’t have the means to power it up), just bring your Charizard. We’re working with scraps here, people.

If you need help with other guides over the event weekend, we have explainers on Go Wild Area habitat spawns, mighty Pokémon, Go Safari Balls, how to get Toxel, and for ticket holders, the “An Accomplished Trainer” choose a path choice.
