Gigantamax Venusaur<\/strong> was one of the first Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> to debut in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a><\/em>, along its Kanto starter cousins, Blastoise<\/a> and Charizar<\/a>d. At its initial launch, it was tough to grab one; players didn\u2019t have strategies or strong counters ready. However, the plant-toad is making a return to the game on March 8 and 9, meaning that players can take on the beast with a more well-rounded party.<\/p>\n

Even so, Gigantamax Venusaur may be tough still if you don\u2019t have the counters nor the community support, but we\u2019re here to help.<\/p>\n

Below, we list out the counters for Gigantamax Venusaur in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em>, as well as some general tips that should help you take it down.<\/p>\n

\n

Gigantamax Venusaur weakness<\/h2>\n

Venusaur is grass- and poison-type, meaning it has four weaknesses: flying<\/strong>-, fire<\/strong>-, psychic<\/strong>-, and ice<\/strong>-type moves. Now that Max Battles have been out for a bit, there\u2019s a decent spread of counters you can use to take this beast down.<\/p>\n

Venusaur will resist fighting-, water-, grass-, electric-, and fairy-type moves, so we do not recommend using those offensively, with the exception of using fast moves to build up the max gauge.<\/p>\n
