Best Movesets
Dynamax Darmanitan is a pretty dangerous Fire Type. Sporting a high Attack Stat, it can drop strong Max Flares that burn whatever it wants to a crisp. It's also not extremely hard to farm, so this one is definitely worth adding to your team in the absence of the top-tiers!
Dynamax Roles
While not the single strongest Fire Type, Dynamax Darmanitan is relatively easy to farm down via Dynamax Darumaka, which is soloable with even a decently invested Dynamax team. And yes, it hits VERY hard as well!
See that 114 Defense? DON'T USE MAX GUARD WITH THIS THING! You REALLY don't want to redirect attention to Dynamax Darmanitan if it's forced to fight without a tank, especially if a team mate is trying to redirect to themselves with their own Max Guard. The exception here is some solos, where it can help keep it alive long enough to Max Flare the opponent into oblivion.
If you're going to try any defensive plays with Dynamax Darmanitan, Max Spirit is generally a better option. It has at least fair HP, it helps its entire team, and it doesn't redirect attacks to itself.
Focus on the Max Move first, then either Max Guard if you run a lot of solos or Max Spirit for basically anything else, though just sticking with damage is just fine here.
Offensive
Defensive
- Fire Fang is the way to go, as it allows Dynamax Darmanitan to throw out Max Flare.
- Tackle is the move of choice on defense due to how quickly it comes out/generates energy, but Darmanitan generally isn't recommended to be used as a tank.
