How These Rankings Work

These rankings show how durable different Pokémon are against Dynamax and Gigantamax bosses. Higher scores are better.

The 100-Point Benchmark

What 100 means: The best overall tank, Dynamax Blissey, sets the baseline with an average of 26.179% HP lost per hit across all 18 equally weighted attack types.
Scoring: 80 means 80% of the reference’s overall effective bulk; 150 means 1.5 times that bulk against the selected attack type. Strong matchups can score above 100.
What changes the baseline: Filters, search and pagination keep the same baseline. Level and weather changes recalculate it.

Current Setup & Settings

Pokémon stats: Level 40 with perfect IVs (15/15/15).
Conditions: Extreme weather and level 3 Max Attacks. Max Guard and Max Spirit are not included.
Customization: Change the level, weather and eligible Pokémon using the table settings.

How Damage Is Calculated

Incoming damage: Half comes from a spread hit, and half from the average of a targeted hit with the best and worst dodge reductions. Each hit is rounded individually.

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

Tie-breakers: Faster Max Meter generation comes first, followed by Max Attack damage.

The Boss Opponent Benchmark

The reference opponent uses median stats from 29 available Tier 5 Dynamax and Tier 6 Gigantamax bosses with verified encounter profiles. Each boss contributes once, after its encounter and damage multipliers are applied.

Boss stats: Adjusted Attack: 284.4 · Effective Defense: 170.25 · HP: 70,000 · Attack power: 95.
Tank roster: Rankings include all available Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon with valid Max moves, plus eligible special forms. This is separate from the verified boss pool.
Attacks: The benchmark attack matches the selected type and receives STAB; outgoing attacks use neutral typing. Generic fallback profiles, unavailable bosses and missing move pools are excluded from the benchmark.

Important Notes

Formula-based ranking: This is not a full battle simulation. It does not predict team Max Attack opportunities, boss enrage, survival time or wins.
Real-world variation: Actual boss moves and damage breakpoints can change performance.
Forms: Forms are ranked separately. Only available Pokémon with valid imported Max moves are included.
