Recommended Tips for Dynamax Sizzlipede
- Max Moves: Level up Max Guard and Max Spirit for your defenders/healers to at least level 2, and prioritize pushing Max Attack to higher levels on your primary Rock or Water attackers.
- Max Energy: Dodge incoming charged attacks during the regular battle phase to build up your Max Meter quickly without losing key Pokémon.
- Battle with Friends: While lower-tier Dynamax battles can be handled solo, coordinating with a small group helps optimize roles for faster clears.
Max Battle Strategy: Coordinating your team roles effectively will save you Max Particles and Revives. Make sure at least one player in your group brings a dedicated healer like Dynamax Blissey using Pound and Wild Charge to sustain the team, while remaining trainers focus entirely on high-DPS Rock-type attackers like Dynamax Gigalith or Rhyperior equipped with Max Rockfall.
