Best Max Battle Tanks by Attack Type

• 100 is Dynamax Blissey, the best overall tank. It loses 26.179% of its HP per hit on average, with all 18 attack types weighted equally.
• Every other score is relative to that tank. 80 means 80% of its overall effective bulk, and 150 means 1.5 times that bulk against the selected attack type. A tank with a good type matchup can score above 100.

• Your Pokémon: Level 40 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs.
• Battle conditions: Extreme weather and level 3 Max Attacks. The score leaves out Max Guard and Max Spirit.

Incoming damage is half a spread hit and half a targeted hit. The targeted half averages the best and worst dodge reductions. Each hit is rounded on its own.

Score = 100 × Dynamax Blissey’s average HP loss % across all types ÷ this Pokémon’s HP loss % against the selected type

Ties go to the Pokémon that fills the Max Meter faster, then to the one with more Max Attack damage.

The benchmark boss takes the median stats of 29 available Tier 5 Dynamax and Tier 6 Gigantamax bosses whose encounter profiles are verified. Each boss counts once, with its encounter and damage multipliers already applied.

• Boss stats: Adjusted Attack: 284.4 · Effective Defense: 170.25 · HP: 70,000 · Attack power: 95.
• Tanks ranked: every available Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon with valid Max Moves, plus eligible special forms. This list is separate from the verified boss pool.
• Attacks: The boss attacks with the selected type and gets STAB. Your tank’s own attacks hit for neutral damage. Bosses that are unavailable, use a generic fallback profile or have no move pool are left out of the benchmark.

• This is a formula. It doesn’t simulate the whole battle, so it can’t tell you how often your team gets to use Max Attacks, when the boss enrages, how long a tank survives or whether you win.
• Real bosses vary. A boss’s actual moves and damage breakpoints can change how a tank performs.
• Forms are ranked separately. Only available Pokémon with valid imported Max Moves are included.
• * Marks a legacy Fast Attack.
