Dynamax Kabuto FAQ

How good is Dynamax Kabuto in Max Battles?

Dynamax Kabuto ranks #25 out of 45 in the Normal-type Max Battle attacker ranking, in C Tier.

Dynamax Kabuto ranks #18 out of 20 in the Ground-type Max Battle attacker ranking, in E 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.

Compare the best Max Battle attackers by type

Which moves should Dynamax Kabuto use in Max Battles?

Recommended moves

Ground Attacker:Mud ShotMax Quake

Max 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.

What does the asterisk beside a move mean?

The recommended movesets above do not include legacy moves.

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.

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

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.

How are Max Battle attackers ranked?

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.

Should I only power up the highest-ranked attacker?

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.

What are Dynamax Kabuto’s strengths and weaknesses?

As a Rock and Water-type Pokémon, Dynamax Kabuto is especially weak against Grass-type moves, and weak against Electric, Fighting, and Ground-type moves.

What is Dynamax Kabuto’s maximum CP at Level 40 and Level 50?

Dynamax Kabuto tops out at 1370 CP at Level 40 and 1549 CP at Level 50.

Can Dynamax Kabuto be shiny in Pokémon GO?
