Gigantamax Toxtricity — Raid Guide

Quick facts

Introduction

Gigantamax Toxtricity is an Electric/Poison-type raid boss with flashy animations and powerful charged moves. Its dual typing makes it particularly vulnerable to Ground and Psychic attacks — build your team around those weaknesses for the fastest clears. This guide covers moves to watch for, optimal counters, weather effects, and catch advice. Gigantamax Toxtricity amplifies its Electric/Poison identity with signature G-Max Stun Shock-style area effects that chain between party Pokémon and apply stacked residual damage. Unlike pure Glass DPS bosses, G-Max Toxtricity punishes uncontrolled swaps and mass fainting — bring reliable Ground coverage, at least one high-TDO tank, and coordinate Gigantamax/Dynamax windows.

Short: Gigantamax Toxtricity charges its Max meter very quickly (Spark is a fast energy generator) and uses an Electric-themed G‑Max move — prioritize heavy Ground attackers for fastest time-to-win.

Weaknesses & type notes

Category	Details
Weak to	Ground • Psychic
Resists	Bug • Electric • Fairy • Fighting • Flying • Grass • Poison • Steel
Note	G-Max residual shocks create short-duration chaining fields — burst DPS that leaves the field can still take damage from lingering ticks. Prefer high single-strike Ground moves or sustained Psychic counters that can avoid repeated fainting. If your group lacks Ground specialists, heavy Electric-resisting tanks (e.g., Snorlax with Replenish style) help soak G-Max windows.

Battle Tips

• Lead with a fast Ground or Psychic to open a quick damage window.
• If you expect G-Max residual chaining, keep one high-TDO tank (Blissey, Snorlax) ready to swap in.
• Coordinate Gigantamax/Dynamax windows — overlapping them with high DPS leads to fast clears.
• Avoid using many Electric or Poison attackers at once — they suffer resistances or contribute to faster boss charge.
• Pre-save raid teams and favorite them in-game for quick re-lobbies.

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 Toxtricity?

Reasons include Pokédex entry, strong Electric / Poison attacker, shiny chance, and XL Candy farming.

Rewards & Catch Tips

• Rewards typically include Rare Candy, Mega / Dynamax resources, and a chance to catch Toxtricity (shiny availability depends on event).
• Use Golden Razz for high-IV or shiny attempts, Pinap when farming candy en masse.

When To Avoid

Avoid pure Electric and Poison attackers — they take neutral or super effective damage from Toxtricity's moves. Also be cautious with bulky Water types, since they may get hit hard by powerful Electric charged moves.

Raid Strategy & Catch Tips

If Toxtricity uses a heavy Electric charged move (like Overdrive or Wild Charge), swap to a Ground attacker or use shields wisely. After the raid, use Golden Razz to increase catch odds and aim for weather-boosted encounters for better CP potential.

Conclusion

Gigantamax Toxtricity is a mechanically interesting raid boss: its Electric/Poison combo is predictable, but the G-Max residual damage forces teams to plan for survivability, not just pure DPS. Prioritize Ground and Psychic 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 Toxtricity efficiently and maximize your rewards.
