For Gigantamax Pokémon, damaging | For Gigantamax Pokémon, damaging [[move]]s of a certain [[type]] become its [[signature move|exclusive]] G-Max Move instead of the normal corresponding [[Max Move]]. Each species of Gigantamax Pokémon has its own unique G-Max Move and vice versa. Like Max Moves, the [[damage category]] and base [[power]] of most G-Max Moves are taken from that of the compatible base move ({{m|G-Max Drum Solo}}, {{m|G-Max Fireball}}, and {{m|G-Max Hydrosnipe}} being exceptions, with a 160 fixed base power whatever the base move is), and cannot be fully protected against by {{cat|protection moves}} (such as {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Detect}}), except by the Max Move {{m|Max Guard}}. Most G-Max Moves use the same power as their Max Move counterparts (except the aforementioned three); thus, the only difference between most G-Max Moves and Max Moves of the same type is their secondary effects. | ||

==In other games== | |||
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]=== | |||
Certain [[sync pair]]s are capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing their partner Pokémon, including some Trainers that do not have Dynamax Bands in the core series. G-Max Moves have either 400 or 450 base power, which can be increased up to a maximum power of 480 and 540, respectively. | |||
G-Max Moves otherwise function identically to max moves. A sync pair can only use a max move once per battle, but it can be used at any time. If all three sync pairs on the player's team are capable of using max moves, the player can use up to three max moves in that battle - one for each sync pair. Similar to sync moves, using a max move does not advance the user's sync move countdown, but it always hits and ignores the target's Enduring effect, if applicable. | |||
Although {{m|Eternabeam}} is a standard [[move]] in the [[core series]] games, in Pokémon Masters EX, it is treated as a [[Max Move|max move]] that is exclusive to {{p|Eternatus}}. Because this is the same way G-Max Moves work, Eternabeam is included in the following list. | |||

In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], every {{TCG|Pokémon VMAX}} card depicting a [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon has one attack whose name starts with the phrase "G-Max". This may allude to the concept of G-Max Moves, although these attacks have no special qualities. If the Pokemon has two attacks, this attack is always the second of the attacks, and as such always has more Energy in its attack cost compared to the other attack. Some of these attack share names with a G-Max Move, such as the G-Max Gold Rush attack on {{TCG ID|SWSH Promo|Meowth VMAX|5}}, and G-Max Smite on {{TCG ID|Crown Zenith|Hatterene VMAX|66}}. Still others share the name of a regular move, but with "G-Max" appended to the start. Examples include G-Max Volt Tackle from {{TCG ID|Vivid Voltage|Pikachu VMAX|44}} and G-Max Headbutt from {{TCG ID|Champion's Path|Drednaw VMAX|15}}. And plenty are entirely original, with names like G-Max Drill used on {{TCG ID|Darkness Ablaze|Grimmsnarl VMAX|115}} and G-Max Spiral with {{TCG ID|Fusion Strike|Inteleon VMAX|79}}. These possibly imply some flexibility in how [[Max Move]]s and G-Max Moves are represented in the TCG. | |||
For [[Dynamax]] Pokémon, a similar pattern occurs where their most expensive attack starts with the phrase "Max", alluding to Max Moves. | |||

Latest revision as of 05:06, 5 July 2024
A G-Max Move (Japanese: キョダイマックスわざ Kyodaimax Move) is a special type of move introduced in Generation VIII. G-Max Moves are special Max Moves that are exclusive to Gigantamax Pokémon.
Effects
For Gigantamax Pokémon, damaging moves of a certain type become its exclusive G-Max Move instead of the normal corresponding Max Move. Each species of Gigantamax Pokémon has its own unique G-Max Move and vice versa. Like Max Moves, the damage category and base power of most G-Max Moves are taken from that of the compatible base move (G-Max Drum Solo, G-Max Fireball, and G-Max Hydrosnipe being exceptions, with a 160 fixed base power whatever the base move is), and cannot be fully protected against by protection moves (such as Protect and Detect), except by the Max Move Max Guard. Most G-Max Moves use the same power as their Max Move counterparts (except the aforementioned three); thus, the only difference between most G-Max Moves and Max Moves of the same type is their secondary effects.

In other games
Pokémon Masters EX
Certain sync pairs are capable of Gigantamaxing their partner Pokémon, including some Trainers that do not have Dynamax Bands in the core series. G-Max Moves have either 400 or 450 base power, which can be increased up to a maximum power of 480 and 540, respectively.
G-Max Moves otherwise function identically to max moves. A sync pair can only use a max move once per battle, but it can be used at any time. If all three sync pairs on the player's team are capable of using max moves, the player can use up to three max moves in that battle - one for each sync pair. Similar to sync moves, using a max move does not advance the user's sync move countdown, but it always hits and ignores the target's Enduring effect, if applicable.
Although Eternabeam is a standard move in the core series games, in Pokémon Masters EX, it is treated as a max move that is exclusive to Eternatus. Because this is the same way G-Max Moves work, Eternabeam is included in the following list.

If the Pokemon has two attacks, this attack is always the second of the attacks, and as such always has more Energy in its attack cost compared to the other attack. Some of these attack share names with a G-Max Move, such as the G-Max Gold Rush attack on Meowth VMAX, and G-Max Smite on Hatterene VMAX. Still others share the name of a regular move, but with "G-Max" appended to the start. Examples include G-Max Volt Tackle from Pikachu VMAX and G-Max Headbutt from Drednaw VMAX. And plenty are entirely original, with names like G-Max Drill used on Grimmsnarl VMAX and G-Max Spiral with Inteleon VMAX. These possibly imply some flexibility in how Max Moves and G-Max Moves are represented in the TCG.
For Dynamax Pokémon, a similar pattern occurs where their most expensive attack starts with the phrase "Max", alluding to Max Moves.
