Conquer the Bulk Up Pokémon by learning its type weaknesses!
If you want to prepare for the upcoming Gigantamax Grimmsnarl debut for the Pokémon GO Wild Area Global 2025, here is a list of all its weaknesses, including its best counters, as well as its hundo CP.
As of writing, we can’t accurately see how Gigantamax Grimmsnarl would perform when compared to other Gigantamax Pokémon in the game. However, based on its stats, it’s safe to say that it won’t be a Tier-S choice for Max Battles.
Nevertheless, Gigantamax Grimmsnarl remains a promising Pokémon to build, considering that it’s going to be the first Dark and Fairy-type Gigantamax mon released in Pokémon GO.
The following information will give you all the details you need while fighting a Gigantamax Grimmsnarl with other players in Max Battles.
Minimum number of Trainers for beating Gigantamax Grimmsnarl
To take down Gigantamax Grimmsnarl, you’ll need the help of at least 9 other Trainers. Since this Max Battle is a six-star one, it’s going to be a moderately difficult fight, so make sure that you and your allies will use the most efficient attackers and tanks against it.
For newbies, use the game’s Party feature (under the Battle menu) to select the Pokémon that you’re going to use for Gigantamax Grimmsnarl. This will help reduce your prep time during Max Battles.
Gigantamax Grimmsnarl’s weaknesses in Pokémon GO
This Pokémon is a Dark and Fairy type, so it’s weak against Poison-, Steel-, and Fairy-type moves.
Gigantamax Grimmsnarl’s moveset includes Dark-, Fighting-, and Fairy-type attacks, so take caution when using Pokémon that are weak to these moves (i.e., Dragon, Ghost, and Psychic).
What are the best counters for this Max Battle?
Here are the specific Pokémon that can do the most damage against Gigantamax Grimmsnarl in Pokémon GO:
 Crowned Sword Zacian Metal Claw & Behemoth Blade |  Dynamax Metagross Bullet Punch & Max Steelspike |  Dynamax Excadrill Metal Claw & Max Steelspike |  Crowned Sword Zamazenta Metal Claw & Behemoth Bash |  Dynamax Duraludon Metal Claw & Max Steelspike |  Dynamax Hatterene Charm & Max Starfall |
While there are other Pokémon that can counter Gigantamax Grimmsnarl, specifically Poison types like Gigantamax Toxcricity and Gigantamax Venusaur, they only use G-Max moves that can deal normal damage to the Bulk Up Pokémon.
So, we highly recommend strong Steel-type attackers for this battle, particularly the Crowned forms of Zacian and Zamazenta. Not only can they hit hard with their Steel-type moves, but they can also resist most of Gigantamax Grimmsnarl’s attacks.
You can use other alternatives like the Dynamax Metagross, Excadrill, and Duraludon, as they can all perform powerful Steel-type G-Max charged moves as well.
Dynamax Hatterene is the best non-Steel-type counter against Gigantamax Grimmsnarl, with its Charm and Max Starfall moveset.
Gigantamax Grimmsnarl's hundo CP in Pokémon GO
When catching a Grimmsnarl from a Max Battle, the hundo CP to watch out for is 1628 CP. Weather conditions don't affect Max Battles, so its hundo CP will remain the same regardless of the weather in your area.
