Planning which Dynamax Pokemon to catch can make a real difference in Pokemon GO. You might feel overwhelmed by the choices, but focusing on certain picks can help you get ahead. If you are looking to build a stronger team, there are a few options you should prioritise. Here’s a helpful breakdown to guide you.

5 Dynamax Pokemon You Must Have in Pokemon GO

Dynamax Suicune

From May 10, 2025, at 6:00 a.m. until May 11, 2025, at 9:00 p.m. local time, you can find Dynamax Suicune appearing in five-star Max Battles.

Suicune brings strong Water-type moves that can challenge an unprepared team. To improve your odds, you should bring Electric or Grass types into the battle. After winning, throw a Golden Razz Berry and aim carefully. Excellent throws improve your catch rate significantly.

Best Pokemon To Use

• Magnezone (Electric moves like Wild Charge)
• Zekrom (Electric moves like Fusion Bolt)
• Zeraora (Electric fast moves)
• Tangrowth (Grass moves like Solar Beam)
• Roserade (Grass moves like Solar Beam)

Dynamax Beldum

You will find Dynamax Beldum from May 5 to May 12, 2025, too. Though it may seem small, it can be stubborn if you are not careful.

Fire, Dark, Ground, and Ghost types work well here. Using your Max Moves at the right time makes the difference between victory and defeat.

Best Pokemon To Use

• Charizard (Fire Spin and Blast Burn)
• Greedent (Dark moves like Bite)
• Chandelure (Ghost moves like Shadow Ball)
• Gengar (Ghost-type fast attacks)
• Excadrill (Ground moves like Earthquake)

Dynamax Beldum will evolve into Dynamaxed Metang and Metagross, one of the strongest Pokemon to support your team.

Dynamax Drilbur

From May 12 to May 19, 2025, Dynamax Drilbur becomes available. This battle asks for teamwork more than the others.

Grass and Water-type Dynamax Pokemon are strong choices. Sometimes, even Dynamax Excadrill or Gengar can fit well into a group strategy.

Best Pokemon To Use

• Dynamax Rillaboom (Grass moves like Drum Beating)
• Dynamax Venusaur (Grass moves like Frenzy Plant)
• Dynamax Blastoise (Water moves like Hydro Cannon)
• Dynamax Inteleon (Water moves like Snipe Shot)
• Dynamax Metagross (Defensive presence)
• Dynamax Charizard (Flying moves to resist Ground attacks)

Dynamaxed Drilbur will evolve into Dynamax Excadrill, a strong Ground-type attacker.

Dynamax Bulbasaur

Dynamaxed Bulbasaur can be battled from May 5 to May 12, 2025. Preparation makes this fight much easier.

Fire, Flying, Ice, or Psychic-type Pokemon will be your best tools. Lowering Bulbasaur’s stats can give you an extra advantage during the battle.

Best Pokemon To Use

• Charizard (Fire-type moves like Blast Burn)
• Talonflame (Flying moves like Brave Bird)
• Glaceon (Ice moves like Ice Beam)
• Alakazam (Psychic moves like Psychic)
• Mewtwo (Psychic-type Max Moves)

Having a Dynamax Bulbasaur is the way to have a Dynamax Venusaur in your collection in the future.

Dynamax Charmander

Between April 28 and May 5, 2025, Dynamax Charmander will be available in Max Battles. Its weaknesses give you a clear plan to work with. Focus on using Ground, Rock, and Water-type moves. Fast, repetitive attacks are important here. Charging your Max Move early can tilt the battle in your favour.

Best Pokemon To Use

• Blastoise (Water Gun and Hydro Cannon)
• Toxtricity (Water-type Max Move support)
• Garchomp (Ground moves like Earth Power)
• Rhyperior (Rock moves like Rock Wrecker)
• Swampert (Water and Ground-type moves)

If you want to have a Dynamax Charizard in your team, then catching a Dynamax Charmander is worth it.
