Gigantamax Butterfree ranks #2 out of 12 in the Bug-type Max Battle attacker ranking, in SS Tier.
The ranking only measures damage per Max Attack. It doesn’t estimate battle time, faints or how a full team performs. A real boss’s Defense, resistances and weaknesses can change both the damage and the order.
Bug BiteG-Max BefuddleMax Attack damage sets the order. When two movesets deal the same damage, the Fast Attack that fills the Max Meter faster against the same neutral target goes first.
At least one recommended moveset above uses a legacy move. Look for the asterisk beside each move before you invest.
An asterisk (*) marks a legacy move. If a recommended moveset uses one, find out how to get the move before you invest. It might take an event, an Elite TM or some other special method, and some legacy moves can’t be taught with an Elite TM at all. Leaving legacy moves out can change the recommended moveset and the ranking.
A Dynamax Pokémon’s Max Attack usually takes the type of its Fast Attack, except Hidden Power, which gives Max Strike. Gigantamax Pokémon have a fixed G-Max Attack, and Crowned Pokémon and Eternatus have fixed special attacks, so changing their Fast Attack doesn’t change that attack’s type.
Ranked by the damage of one Max Attack. The defaults are Level 40 Pokémon with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Level 3 Max Attacks, a neutral opponent and no weather boost. Only Pokémon marked available in our data are included.
Not always. Damage is only one job in a Max Battle. You may also want Pokémon that can take the boss’s hits, absorb damage with Max Guard or heal with Max Spirit.
