General Gigantamax Gengar tips
If you’ve been struggling in Max Battles, here’s some general tips to help you out and make sure you’re an asset to your team. Gigantamax battles involve way more strategy than the usual rampant tapping that you do in raids, so make sure to know what you’re doing before jumping in.
