In Pokémon GO, you currently have the chance to catch one of the best defenders for Dynamax battles. You only have a few days left to do so.
Since the Dynamax feature in Pokémon GO was introduced, new monsters for this mode are regularly added to the game. In this mode, your monsters transform into gigantic variants and can attack with special moves. The mode operates somewhat differently than regular battles in the game.
The selection of Pokémon that you can find and catch in Dynamax battles rotates regularly. Currently, there is a monster in the rotation that you should definitely catch if you participate frequently in Dynamax and Gigantamax battles.
A brilliant tank for Dynamax
Which Pokémon is it? You have the opportunity to catch Chansey in its Dynamax form in the game until March 31, 2025. You can find this Pokémon in 3-star Dynamax battles.
What makes this Pokémon so good? Chansey, and especially its evolution Blissey, possesses an enormous amount of hit points as well as a high defense value. Both monsters have even the highest combination of hit points and defense available in Pokémon GO.
This means that they are optimal tanks to absorb a lot of damage from opposing Dynamax monsters. You can use them in Dynamax and Gigantamax battles to fill your Dyna meter and then switch to your attackers.
Therefore, you should definitely get Chansey and Blissey if you regularly participate in Dynamax or Gigantamax battles.
How do I defeat the Pokémon? If you want to defeat it, you should primarily rely on fighting-type Pokémon, as Chansey is a Normal type and thus has a weakness to attacks of that type. Currently, Machamp is particularly suitable for this.
Chansey can take quite a bit of damage, so you should also bring 1 or 2 Pokémon as defenders. You will use these to fill your Dyna meter. Then switch in Machamp to execute the strong Dyna attacks.
After that, switch back to your defender and repeat the process until you have defeated Chansey. With a reasonably good team, you can defeat Chansey without needing additional trainers.
Pokémon like Blissey are ideally suited as a tank to absorb a lot of damage from strong Dynamax and Gigantamax opponents. And you need such tanks. Especially if you want to challenge the new Gigantamax Pokémon in Pokémon GO soon – because that will be a really tough battle.
