The Dynamax Lake Guardians, Dynamax Uxie, Dynamax Mesprit, and Dynamax Azelf, make their official Pokémon GO debuts in five-star Power Spot Max Battles. Because all three members of the Lake Trio share pure Psychic typings, they share the same fundamental elemental weaknesses and optimal counter strategies.
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, the legendary trio will take over five-star Max Battles across the globe, divided by region:
- Dynamax Uxie: Appearing in the Asia-Pacific region.
- Dynamax Mesprit: Appearing in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India.
- Dynamax Azelf: Appearing in the Americas and Greenland.

Dynamax Lake Guardians Weaknesses and Counters
As pure Psychic-type Pokémon, Dynamax Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are weak to Bug-, Ghost-, and Dark-type attacks.
Recommended counters for your Max Battle party layout include:
Slot 1: Defender/Healer
- Dynamax Blissey with Pound (Fast) and Wild Charge (Charged) to sustain the team.
- Dynamax Excadrill or Dynamax Corviknight with Steel-type Fast attack. Either will serve as a resilient counter that resists incoming Psychic-type moves.
Slot 2: Attacker
- Gigantamax Gengar or Dynamax Gengar with Shadow Claw (Fast) and G-Max Terror / Shadow Ball as its Max Move.
- Dynamax Hydreigon with a Dark-type Fast Attack and max-level Max Darkness.
Slot 3: Attacker
- Gigantamax Grimmsnarl with a Dark-type Fast Attack and max-level G-Max Snooze.
Recommended Tips for Dynamax Lake Guardians
Max Moves: Level up Max Guard and Max Spirit on your designated tank/healer to at least level 2. Prioritize maxing out Max Attack on your primary Ghost- or Dark-type damage dealers.
Max Energy: Dodge incoming charged attacks during the regular battle phase to rapidly fill up your Max Meter without sacrificing your core attackers.
Battle with Friends: Because these are 5-star Tier Max Battles, coordinating is essential to optimize team roles (healers vs. high-DPS sweepers) for faster clears.
