Gigantamax Kingler is the seventh Gigantamax Pokmon introduced to Pokmon Go, and is available in Max Battles as part of the Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day on Feb. 1 from 2-5 p.m. in your local time.Like all the other Gigantamax Battles, Kingler will be challenging, so players who arent 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 Kingler in Pokmon Go.Gigantamax Kingler weaknessWell want to utilize Gigantamax Kinglers weaknesses: grass-, and electric-type moves. At this point, theres a nice spread of Pokmon that you can use against it.Kingler resists steel-, fire-, water-, and ice-type moves, so we dont recommend using those offensively, with the exception of using fast moves to build up the max gauge.Gigantamax Kingler best countersWith the above in mind, theres quite a few counters to bring to Kingler. We recommend the following to focus on offensive moves:Gigantamax/Dynamax Venusaur with Vine WhipGigantamax/Dynamax Toxtricity with SparkDynamax Zapdos with ThundershockDynamax Rillaboom with Razor LeafKingler can possibly use X-Scissor, which will deal increased damage against Rillaboom, so we recommend using the other counters, if possible.If you want to be an ally to your team, you can bring the following Pokmon with Max Guard and/or Max Spirit to help our defensively:Gigantamax Lapras with Water GunGigantamax/Dynamax Blastoise with BiteGigantamax/Dynamax Venusaur with Vine WhipThese moves will allow you to build up the max gauge quickly; they resist most of, if not all of, Kinglers possible moves. (Yes, Venusaur can dish out some good DPS while also serving as a tank.)Even if you dont have these powered up, consider just bringing the strongest Dynamax Pokmon you have. If you have a maxed out Dynamax Gengar and your Dynamax Venusaur isnt leveled (and you dont have the means to power it up), just bring your Gengar.General Gigantamax Kingler tipsIf youve been struggling in Max Battles, heres some general tips to survive and make sure youre 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 youre doing before jumping in.Make sure you have enough players.High-efficiency groups with maxed out investments can take down the Kingler with fewer people, but practically, if you dont have hundreds of spare candy and even more Stardust laying around, this isnt going to be an option for you. Make sure you have as many people as possible to ensure that you get your foamy-bearded king crab.Dont sleep on Max Spirit and Max Guard. Teams work best when theres a variety of moves, not just maxed-out attacks. Each player should bring Pokmon with the defensive and healing moves unlocked as well. Max Guard will focus single-target damage towards you and reduce the damage taken and Max Spirit will heal the whole party, so these moves are really important to make sure your damage-dealers can keep dishing.Remember to swap to super effective moves when its time to Dynamax. ForDynamax Pokmon, their max moves are determined by whatever type their fast move is. This means if you have a Cryogonal with Frost Breath, it will know Max Hailstorm. A Gengar with Lick will know Max Phantasm. Take advantage of this and make sure to swap to a Pokmon that will deal super effective damage to your target before Dynamaxing, if you can.Focus on your fast moves. You want to spam your fast moves to build up that Dynamax meter and often times, using your charge move is actually a DPS loss when compared to the damage you could be doing with your max move will be. Spam those attacks!Level up a few mons, but you dont have to go too hard. Depending on your group size, you absolutely do not need to max out all your Dynamax Pokmon to level 40-50. While this will make it easier on the rest of your group, if this isnt an investment you can make, you dont have to stress about it. Power things up as high as you can afford to, but dont fret if you dont have a maxed out Pokmon.That all being said,make sure to come as prepared as you can be. This is a team effort and theres a chance that a full group of four can still fail. Do not just bring your unleveledDynamax Woolooexpecting a free ride to a powerful Pokmon. (After all, ifeveryonedoes that, then you certainly wont clear the battle.) Again, you dont have to completely max out your Pokmon, but it will be better for everyone involved if you bring something helpful to the table.Keep your eye out for a shiny Kingler!If you clear the raid, there is a chance that the Kingler you catch will be shiny which also means itll be a guaranteed catch. Use a Pinap Berry to score extra candy if you get lucky enough to find a sparkly Kingler.
