The Max Mondays event in Pokémon GO brings a special opportunity to challenge unique Dynamax Pokémon each week—and on April 28, 2025, trainers will face the determined and coordinated Dynamax Falinks in a 3-star Max Battle. This guide will walk you through how to beat Dynamax Falinks efficiently, covering its weaknesses, best counters, and how you might even walk away with a Shiny Dynamax Falinks encounter.

Event Details: When and Where to Battle Dynamax Falinks

• Event Name: Max Mondays – Dynamax Falinks

• Date: Monday, April 28, 2025

• Time: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM local time

• Battle Type: 3-Star Max Battle Boss

• Location: Power Spots during the event window

This is a limited one-hour event where Dynamax Falinks appears as a Max Battle Boss, so make sure to be prepared and available during that window. Winning the battle guarantees an encounter with a Dynamax-capable Falinks, and there’s also a chance of encountering Shiny Dynamax Falinks.

Understanding Dynamax Falinks: Typing and Meta

Dynamax Falinks is a pure Fighting-type Pokémon. As with any Max Battle Boss, understanding its typing is the key to building a solid counter team. It has several vulnerabilities that players can take advantage of.

Weaknesses:

• Flying-type moves

• Psychic-type moves

• Fairy-type moves

Resistances:

• Bug-type moves

• Dark-type moves

• Rock-type moves

Avoid using Pokémon that rely on these resisted move types unless they’re significantly over-leveled. Stick to its major weaknesses for maximum damage and efficiency.

Best Counters for Dynamax Falinks (Max Monday)

To defeat Dynamax Falinks, your best shot is to use Pokémon with Flying or Psychic moves. While there are no Fairy-type Pokémon that can Dynamax or Gigantamax currently, there are multiple strong contenders from the other two categories.

Here are the top-performing counters you should aim to bring:

🛡️ Dynamax Metagross

• Fast Move: Zen Headbutt (Psychic)

• Charged Move: Psychic (Psychic)

• Why it’s great: High bulk, excellent typing, and devastating STAB Psychic moves. A level 40 Metagross can solo this boss.

🔥 Gigantamax Charizard

• Fast Move: Air Slash (Flying)

• Charged Move: Overheat (Fire)

• Why it’s great: Solid flying-type Fast Move allows Charizard to benefit from super-effective Max Moves. Its high offensive stats make it reliable for burst damage.

🕊️ Dynamax Moltres

• Fast Move: Wing Attack (Flying)

• Charged Move: Sky Attack (Flying)

• Why it’s great: Pure Flying damage and Dynamax compatibility make Moltres an excellent counter with high mobility and burst.

⚡ Dynamax Zapdos

• Fast Move: Thunder Shock (Electric)

• Charged Move: Drill Peck (Flying)

• Why it’s great: Zapdos brings versatility with Electric/Flying typing and benefits from excellent Flying moves to counter Falinks efficiently.

👻 Gigantamax Gengar

• Fast Move: Lick (Ghost)

• Charged Move: Shadow Ball (Ghost)

• Why it’s great: While not a direct counter through typing, Gengar’s speed and damage output can provide support, especially if you’re low on stronger Psychic/Flying options.

Team Strategy & Battle Tips

• Solo Strategy: One level 40 Dynamax Metagross can solo Dynamax Falinks if powered and dodging effectively.

• Lower-Level Teams: Use two mid-level Psychic or Flying-type Dynamax Pokémon. Timing charged attacks and dodging Max Moves will be crucial.

• Max Moves: Your Pokémon’s Fast Move determines the Max Move type—opt for Psychic or Flying fast moves to ensure your Max Move is super-effective.

Remember to Dynamax early in the battle for maximum control. Use your most powerful counters first and rotate backups only if necessary.

How to Get Shiny Dynamax Falinks in Pokémon GO
