Strategy & play

How Galarian Darmanitan VMAX plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Max Whiteout) needs 4 Energy — a turn-4 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Hits for 200 — one-shots most single-prize attackers and many ex, but not 300+ HP walls.
  • Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Water type, weak to Metal ×2 — a Metal attacker doing ≥160 effectively one-shots it.
  • A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
  • Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.

How to beat Galarian Darmanitan VMAX

  • Exploit its Metal weakness — ≥160 damage one-shots it.
  • Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
  • It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
