The next Gigantamax battle is here. Get set to take on Gigantamax Gengar.
Gigantamax Raids arrived with a bang into Pokémon GO last weekend. After the debut of Gigantamax Blastoise, Charizard and Venusaur we’re now getting Gigantamax Gengar debuting into Pokémon GO during the Halloween Part 2 event. These special Max Battles will be at selected Power Spots until Sunday, November 3.
The issue is, Gigantamax Max battles are incredibly hard to take down. Gigantamax Pokémon are very powerful, and you will need a lot of help to win one of these Max Battles. So, you’ll want to be prepared.
Here’s everything you need to know before you battle Gigantamax Gengar in Pokémon GO!
How many trainers do I need to beat Gigantamax Gengar in Pokémon GO?
There were a lot of complaints last weekend about how hard Gigantamax Battles were to complete during their debut weekend.As a result,Niantic made some adjustments to both how difficult Gigantamax Gengar is to take down and the rewards you get afterwards.
Unfortunately, you are still going to need 20-25 Trainers with very good counters to beat Gigantamax Gengar in Pokémon GO.
It isVERYimportant to note that how difficult Gigantamax Gengar is to take down depends on what move it has. With Sludge Wave, it is a lot easier to take down than if it has Shadow Ball. Shadow Ball deals a lot of damage to Metagross.

If you’re a strong group of Trainers with a clear strategy of when to use Shields and healing, with your Max Moves upgraded all the way and high levelDynamax Pokémonyou might be able to take on Gigantamax Gengar with around 15 Trainers if it has Sludge Wave. We’re still gathering more information about this, so come back and check for updates soon.

Additionally, verify you have good counters (if possible) and also reserve your best Pokémon for the end of the Raid. The Max Meter will charge faster at the end of the Battle. This is because once all your Pokémon are knocked out, you can stay involved in the Raid by cheering. Cheering helps the Max Meter charge faster. So, if you don’t have the best counters you can still contribute to your team’s success.
