Best Movesets
Gigantamax Toxtricity possesses the one of the highest Electric-type Max Move damage outputs in the game. In terms of raw power, its G-Max Stun Shock comparable to that of hypothetical Dynamax Thundurus-T's Max Lightning, and is only outclassed by an also hypothetical Dynamax Xurkitree. This thing is a genuine power-house. For context, Gigantmax Toxtricity shooting out G-Max Stun Shock is effectively like a 287 Electric Type of another species throwing out Max Lightning, so the difference is a bit staggering. This thing's lone weakness is the fact that Electric isn't the MOST useful type in the game, only hitting for Super Effective damage on Flying and Water, but it's still a prime option when either of these types show up. However, on that same note, Gigantamax Toxtricity is already out-classed when dealing with most Water Types thanks to Gigantamax Rillaboom existing, so its biggest role is frying Flying Types. For this reason, its current position is a bit tenuous on our current tier list, but rest assured it's still good in its own right.
Dynamax Roles
Gigantamax Toxtricity is pretty safe in its role as a source of shocking Max Move damage, and is currently the top option in its job for the time being. As stated, it may have competition down the line, but for now it's very stable!
This thing has a glass jaw, don't let it take hits.
Gigantamax Toxtricity's low HP doesn't offer much by way of team healing.
Max G-Max Stun Shock first and foremost. Max Guard and Max Spirit won't offer a whole lot of value to Gigantamax Toxtricity. Sure, Max Spirit COULD add a little longevity, but it's unlikely to even allow Gigantamax Toxtricity to survive even one more strong hit unless you devote 2-3 uses of it in your Dynamax cycle, which is a resource probably better served by using G-Max Stun Shock more times. Max Guard, meanwhile, is not a great idea in higher difficulty stages, as Gigantamax Toxtricity DOES NOT like having boss moves redirected towards it if its tank drops. Still, it can be useful in some solo runs.
Offensive
- All roads lead to G-Max Stun Shock, so stick with Spark no matter what in order to build energy as quickly as possible. This can be especially important if you lose your tank end end up with Toxtricity on the field. If you've got a teammate redirecting moves with Max Guard, then it's very important to build up energy to that next Max Move ASAP.
