Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon were introduced in Pokémon GO through the Max Out season, including the new Power Spots mechanic, which are targets on the map that will appear during your adventure and give you an opportunity to earn Max Particles and participate in Dynamax Battles. Max Monday has continued to become a recurring event in the following Dual Destiny season, with new Dynamax bosses to create a more diverse range of Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon in the game.
Because Max Mondays are short, recurring events, Trainers have limited time to prepare for each one before the designated featured Pokemon takes over all nearby Power Spots, giving players an opportunity to go up against it in battle time and time again. On December 9, 2024Krabby appears as the Max Monday boss, meaning trainers must consider the key weaknesses, resistances, and best counters for this monster in advance in order to take advantage of this limited opportunity. Everything you need to know about the Krabby's Max Monday event has been included in the guide below.

Pokemon GO Max Monday: Dynamax Krabby Max Battle Guide
IN Pokemon GO,Krabby is in November 9 Max Monday event as designated Max Battle boss. The Max Monday event on this date starts it 18.00 local time and ended at 19.00 local timegiving trainers just one hour to make the most of Krabby's appearances at all the local Power Spots, and hopefully capture one or more suitable Krabby specimens to add to their collection. For trainers wondering about Krabby's potential, the Gigantamax Kingler is one of the many G-Max specimens available, and with Krabby's arrival as a Dynamax specimen in Pokémon GOtrainers will eventually be able to evolve it to get their own Gigantamax Kingler.
Dynamax Krabby weaknesses and resistances
IN Pokémon GOKrabby is a pure Water-type Pokémon, meaning its basic weaknesses and resistances are fairly simple to keep in mind. Krabby is resistant to Fire, Ice, Steel, and Water Pokémon, so players should aim to avoid incorporating such specimens into their Max Battle teams whenever possible, to avoid any disadvantages when going up against Dynamax Krabby.
Krabby has his damage potential increased when fighting in rainy weather, thanks to the Weather Boost mechanic. For this reason, trainers may want to keep this in mind and avoid Max battles against Krabby in such areas, whenever possible.
Fortunately, Krabby also takes increased damage from Grass and Electric types, so players should instead try to incorporate these attributes into their lineups and use monsters that can deliver strong attacks of these types.
Dynamax Krabby Counters
IN Pokémon GOPokemon can only participate in Max Battles if they are also a Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokemon, themselves. For this reason, the choices trainers can bring into battle are quite limited, making things a bit more difficult than general Raid opportunities. A couple of suitable key counters have been identified below, based on the best type matches and damage potential for each sample.
- Dynamax Grookey/Thwackey/Rillaboom are excellent choices due to their Grass Typing, which allows them to damage Dynamax Krabby super efficiently.
- Dynamax Bulbasaur/Ivysaur/Venusaur also stand out as strong options, as much as the Rillaboom line, their Grass Type allows them to dish out super effective damage against Dynamax Krabby.
- Dynamax Toxicity is another powerful contender who uses his Electric Type attacks to deal massive damage to Dynamax Krabby.
- If you don't have access to any of these Pokemon listed above, you can also choose to use whatever secondary or final evolution Dynamax Pokemon you have available that doesn't also share a Type that Krabby is resistant to. In this scenario, choices such as Dynamax Dubwool, Dynamax Greedent, Dynamax Haunter/Gengar, Dynamax Falinks and Dynamax Machoke/Machamp are all suitable backups.
