Entei is becoming a member of the Max Battle hype in Pokémon Go, permitting you to take it on and probably catch one that may Dynamax, following the looks of its sibling (Raikou) final month. It’ll be featured throughout a Max Battle Weekend occasion, working from April 26 at 6 a.m. till April 27 at 9 p.m. in your native time.
Throughout this occasion, you’ll be capable to declare extra Max Particles every day (as much as 1,600 from 800), you’ll get extra Max Particles from Energy Spots, the quantity it’s a must to stroll to get particles can be lower right down to 1/4, and Energy Spots will refresh extra typically.
From April 21 till the Max Battle Weekend ends, the particle price to energy up Max Strikes has additionally been lower to three/4 the same old quantity, so it’s a good time to construct some counters.
Beneath, we listing out some common Max Battle ideas and counters for Dynamax Entei in Pokémon Go.
Entei is a solo fire-type Pokémon, so it has fairly a couple of weaknesses: ground-, rock-, and water-type strikes. There are a couple of Pokémon we might use at this level to take it down, which is sweet (compared to another large targets we’ve had, that solely have one or two viable counters).
All of that mentioned, Entei will take much less harm from bug-, steel-, fire-, grass-, ice-, and fairy-type strikes, so that you shouldn’t actually use these except it’s a must to use them to construct up your gauge.
Dynamax Entei finest counters
For attackers, attempt to deliver a minimum of one of many following with its max assault constructed up:
- Gigantamax Kingler with Metallic Claw
- Dynamax Inteleon with Water Gun
- Dynamax Excadrill with Mud Shot
- Dynamax Kingler with Bubble
- Gigantamax Blastoise with Water Gun
This time round, none of Entei’s strikes ought to trigger any of those nice misery, although you shouldn’t actually be utilizing these exterior of the Dynamax/Gigantamax section to dish harm.
For tanks, you’ll need to deliver one or two of the next with Max Guard/Spirit leveled up:
- Dynamax Blissey with Pound
- Dynamax/Gigantamax Blastoise with Water Gun
- Gigantamax Snorlax with Lick
Notably there’s a Timed Analysis set that rewards you with a Dynamax Sobble encounter, Sobble Sweet, and tons of particles that will help you get an Inteleon, in order for you. Be aware that Inteleon will get a Gigantamax kind down the road, so I solely suggest investing on this when you’ve got tons of Sobble Sweet to spare.
Finally, as common, simply deliver the strongest Pokémon that it’s a must to assist contribute to the group. For those who solely have a Dynamax Sobble as a type-based counter, however you’ve got a construct Dynamax Gengar, you must simply deliver the Gengar.
For those who’ve been struggling in Max Battles, listed here are some common tricks to survive — and ensure you’re an asset to your staff. Whereas Gigantamax Battles are robust, a Legendary Max Battle shouldn’t be as robust as that. You may slack a little, however you must nonetheless heed our recommendation:
- Be sure to have sufficient gamers. Excessive-efficiency gamers with maxed out investments will possible be capable to solo Entei, however this isn’t going to be life like for most individuals. Attempt to go at it with three different gamers for the best likelihood of successful. Be aware that in contrast to Gigantamax Pokémon, the Dynamax Legendary Pokémon have a max get together dimension of 4 (relatively than 40).
- Don’t sleep on Max Spirit and Max Guard. Groups work finest when there’s a wide range of strikes, not simply maxed-out assaults. Every participant ought to deliver Pokémon with the defensive and therapeutic strikes unlocked as nicely. Max Guard will focus single-target harm in the direction of you and cut back the harm taken and Max Spirit will heal the entire get together, so these strikes are actually necessary to verify your damage-dealers can maintain dishing.
- Bear in mind to swap to tremendous efficient strikes when it’s time to Dynamax. For Dynamax Pokémon, their max strikes are decided by no matter sort their quick transfer is. This implies when you’ve got a Cryogonal with Frost Breath, it is going to know Max Hailstorm. A Gengar with Lick will know Max Illusion. Reap the benefits of this and ensure to swap to a Pokémon that can deal tremendous efficient harm to your goal earlier than Dynamaxing, in the event you can.
- Focus in your quick strikes. You need to spam your quick strikes to construct up that Dynamax meter and sometimes instances, utilizing your cost transfer is definitely a DPS loss when in comparison with the harm you could possibly be doing together with your max transfer can be. Spam these assaults!
- Stage up a couple of ‘mons, however you don’t must go too laborious. Relying in your group dimension, you completely don’t have to max out all of your Dynamax Pokémon to degree 40-50. Whereas this may make it simpler on the remainder of your group, if this isn’t an funding you may make, you don’t must stress about it. Energy issues up as excessive as you possibly can afford to, however don’t fret in the event you don’t have a maxed out Pokémon.
- All that mentioned, be sure that to come back as ready as you might be. It is a staff effort and there’s an opportunity {that a} full group of 4 can nonetheless fail. Don’t simply deliver your unleveled Dynamax Wooloo anticipating a free journey to a strong Pokémon. (In any case, if everybody does that, then you definitely definitely gained’t clear the battle.) Once more, you don’t must utterly max out your Pokémon, however it is going to be higher for everybody concerned in the event you deliver one thing useful to the desk.
- Preserve your eye out for a shiny Entei! For those who clear the raid, there’s a likelihood that the Entei you catch can be shiny — which additionally means it’ll be a assured catch. Use a Pinap Berry to attain further sweet in the event you get fortunate sufficient to discover a sparkly Entei.
