Battle Tips

• Front-load your top Electric and Grass DPS for fastest TTK.
• Include one tank/healer in larger lobbies to soak G-Max hits and maintain uptime.
• Quick-dodge only very heavy Max Moves; otherwise favor uptime to maximize damage over long fights.

Team Size

Recommended: 15–20 trainers for comfortable clears with mixed player levels. With many Gigantamax / Dynamax counters, 10–14 can work. Under 8 trainers should be attempted only if all participants are high-level and coordinated with ideal counters and Dynamax/G-Max boosts.

Why Raid Gigantamax Inteleon?

Reasons include Pokédex entry, strong Water attacker, shiny chance, and XL Candy farming.

When To Avoid

Avoid using fragile Water or Ice attackers that will faint quickly to Inteleon's charged moves. Also be cautious with bulk-reliant Pokémon that do low DPS despite resisting Water.

Raid Strategy & Catch Tips

If Inteleon uses Hydro Pump or Snipe Shot, conserve shields for your highest-DPS Electric attackers. After the raid, use Golden Razz for a higher catch probability, Silver Pinap is handy when you want Candy and are willing to risk the catch.

Conclusion

Gigantamax Inteleon is a mechanically interesting raid boss: its Water type is predictable, but the G-Max residual damage forces teams to plan for survivability, not just pure DPS. Prioritize Electric and Grass Gigantamax picks, add Dynamax support for sustained windows, and include at least one high-TDO tank if your lobby is smaller. With the counters and tactics above, you’ll clear Inteleon efficiently and maximize your rewards.
