Pokémon GO: Dynamax Cryogonal Max Battle Guide (Max Mondays)

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.

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
