Gigantamax Butterfree Max Battles

Unfortunately, Gigantamax Butterfree might not be a worthwhile Pokémon to build up. It has a low attack stat, which means it’s not well built to being an offensive threat. And really, its stats are low overall for a Gigantamax Pokémon; as such, it's not really a good Pokémon to build. Especially since a lot of Pokémon resist bug-type attacks, and even for the Pokémon weak to it, you have better options, including other bug types.

    Gigantamax Butterfree FAQ

    How good is Gigantamax Butterfree in Max Battles?

    Gigantamax Butterfree ranks #2 out of 12 in the Bug-type Max Battle attacker ranking, in SS Tier.

    The score is damage from one Max Attack, not DPS. A real boss’s Defense and weaknesses change the damage and may change the order. This ranking does not estimate total battle time, faints or team performance.

    Compare the best Max Battle attackers by type

    Which moves should Gigantamax Butterfree use in Max Battles?

    Recommended moves

    Max Attack damage determines the ranking. When movesets deal equal damage, faster Max Meter generation breaks the tie. The recommended Fast Attack therefore helps charge the meter; it is not necessarily the hardest-hitting Fast Attack. The charging comparison uses the same neutral target.

    What does the asterisk beside a move mean?

    At least one recommended moveset above includes a legacy move. Check the asterisk beside each move before investing.

    An asterisk marks a legacy move, which may require an event, an Elite TM or another special method. Some legacy moves cannot be taught with an Elite TM.

    Why do some attackers use a Fast Attack of another type?

    For Dynamax Pokémon, the Fast Attack normally determines the Max Attack type; Hidden Power produces Max Strike. Gigantamax Pokémon have a fixed G-Max Attack. Crowned Pokémon and Eternatus also use fixed special attacks. Changing their Fast Attack does not change that attack’s type.

    How are these attackers ranked?

    The default ranking uses Level 40 Pokémon, perfect IVs and level-3 Max Attacks against a neutral target, with no weather boost. Only released Pokémon are included.

    Should I build only the highest-ranked attacker?

    No. This list helps choose damage dealers. A Max Battle team can also need Pokémon that resist the boss’s attacks or restore HP. Use the boss’s Max Battle counters page to compare attackers, tanks and healers for that encounter.

    What are Gigantamax Butterfree’s strengths and weaknesses?

    As a Bug and Flying-type Pokémon, Gigantamax Butterfree is especially weak against Rock-type moves, and weak against Electric, Fire, Flying, and Ice-type moves.

    What is Gigantamax Butterfree’s maximum CP at Level 40 and Level 50?

    Gigantamax Butterfree’s maximum CP at Level 40 is 1827 CP and 2065 CP at Level 50.

    Can Gigantamax Butterfree be shiny in Pokémon GO?

    Gigantamax Butterfree can be Shiny in Pokémon GO ✨.
