Dynamax Electabuzz will make its debut in Pokémon GO on Monday, June 8, 2026, during the Max Monday Daily Discovery, from 6:00 a.m local time. It will continue to be at Power Spots until Sunday, June 14, 9:00 p.m. local time.
Please note, you cannot engage in Max Battles at any Power Spot between 9:00 p.m. and 5:59 a.m. local time. Furthermore, Dynamax Electabuzz is most likely going to be at Tier 3 Power Spots. If so, it will cost 400 Max Particles (MP) per battle.
Dynamax Electabuzz Recommended Counters
This is a Pokémon that is weak only to Ground-type attacks. Therefore, max attackers with Ground-type attacks are the strongest option. Likewise, Electabuzz can learn Electric- and Fighting-type attacks. You should use max defenders/healers that resist both Electric- and Fighting-type attacks.
Since Electabuzz can currently only use Low Kick (a Fighting-type attack) as a Fast attack, you should not worry about using Pokémon that are weak to Fighting-type attacks.
The following are the recommended counters to have in your battle party.
- Defender/Healer: Dynamax Blissey with Pound as Fast Attack and any attack as a Charged Attack.
- Attacker: Dynamax Flygon with Mud Shot as Fast Attack and Scorching Sands as a Charged Attack.
- Attacker: Dynamax Excadrill with Mud Shot as Fast Attack and Scorching Sands as a Charged Attack.

Recommended Tips
Dynamax Electabuzz battles shouldn’t be difficult for those who use the recommended counters. However, you need to pay close attention to the following.
- Max Moves: Using the right counters with the right attacks is not enough. You also need to level up their max moves. Level up the Max Guard and Max Spirit for the Defender/Healer. Level up the Max Attack for the attackers. All should be at least at level 2.
- Max Energy: During the normal battle phase, ensure you dodge Electabuzz’s charged attacks when possible. Focus on generating Max Energy quickly. Then use the Max Energy in the dynamaxing phase, either to heal (Max Spirit) or guard (Maz Guard) the Pokémon in your battle party or to launch attacks (Max Attack) on Electabuzz.
- Battle with Friends: If you don’t have the recommended counters or the resources to level up their max moves, you should plan your battles with Friends who can help.
Rewards
You will get rewarded after you complete the Max Battle. One of the rewards is an encounter with Dynamax Electabuzz. If you are lucky, the encounter can be shiny. A good encounter has a CP that is above 1300. The hundo CP for an Electabuzz received as an encounter after completing a Max Battle is 1333 CP.
Have fun
