How to defeat Gigantamax Mauzi in Pokémon GO?
What are the best attackers? Since Mauzi is a Normal type, only Fighting type moves are very effective against the monster. The strongest attacker you can use is Gigantamax Machamp. If you have this monster, you should definitely use it.
If you don’t have it, there are still some other Pokémon that are suitable as attackers against Gigantamax Mauzi. These include:
- Dynamax Urshifu with Wrecking Blow or Counter
- Dynamax Gallade with Low Kick
- Dynamax Machamp with Counter or Karate Chop
- Dynamax Alakazam with Counter
Make sure that your attacker is not only leveled up to a high CP but also that their Dynamax move has been leveled up to Level 3.
What are the best defenders? To absorb the damage from Gigantamax Mauzi, you should also rely on a strong defender. The following monsters are suitable:
- Zamazenta (King of Shields) with Metal Claw
- Zacian (King of Swords) with Metal Claw
- Dynamax Urshifu (Focused Style) with Deep Strike
- Gigantamax Olangaar with Bite, Deep Strike or Low Kick
- Dynamax Amoroso with Mud Shot or Water Gun
Zamazenta is the best defender here. If you have this monster, you should rely on it. On one hand, it has very strong defensive stats, and on the other hand, it is a Steel type, which has a type advantage against Mauzi’s attacks.
How should the battle proceed? You should assign roles within your team: Who acts as the attacker, who acts as the healer? Regardless of your role, use your defender Pokémon until the Dynamax meter is charged.
Afterward, switch to your attacker or healer to use your attacking or protective moves. Once the Dynamax meter is depleted, switch back to your defender and start charging the Dynamax meter again. Repeat this until Mauzi is defeated.
How many trainers are needed? Expect that you will need many trainers for the battle. Gigantamax raids are among the toughest challenges in Pokémon GO and require a lot from you.
It is currently hard to say exactly how many trainers are needed. However, you should expect that you will need at least 10 trainers. Each group of 4 trainers from your raid forms a team.
In addition to the Gigantamax debut of Mauzi, several other contents are expected in Pokémon GO in February. These include events, raids, and spotlight hours.
