Cryogonal is the new boss featured in the latest Max Monday, even in , making for a tough, icy opponent that needs you to target its weaknesses with the best counters available to take on this alternative raid solo. This level of boss battle isn't anywhere near as challenging as some of the others in the game, like the 6-Star Raids against Gigantamax Pokémon. Nevertheless, if you try to face Crygonal unprepared, you could be quickly wiped out when taking in an ill-fitting team, wasting the Max Particles you've spent to take part in the battle.
This is Dynamax Cryogonal's debut in, also fitting with the Ice-type Pokémon's part in the Winter-themed Holiday Part 1 event as a Three-Star Raid boss and encounter rewards for completing Field Research tasks.

It may not be worth one of the best Master League teams, but it can still make a very cool addition to your collection.
Dynamax Cryogonal is a pure Ice-type in, just like in its base form, meaning it has not one weakness but four: Fire-, Fighting-, Steel-, and Rock-type attacks. Super-effective damage dealt due to targeting weaknesses varies between games, but hitting Cryogonal with one of these move types in specifically means the Crystallizing Pokémon will take 160% damage instead of 100. You also need to remember you can deal more damage with a STAB (same-type attack bonus), a 20% boost given to an attack when used by a Pokémon of the same type.
These are the best teams & alternatives you can choose in the Master League and Holiday Cup: Little Edition taking place in Pokémon GO this December.
You're only allowed to take Dynamax- or Gigantamax-capable Pokémon with you into a Max Battle, so making use of STABs will be a must if you're a casual player who isn't able to put together a whole team of suitable counters. Luckily, this boss has
