In Pokemon GO, Max Mondays is a weekly recurring event in which one featured Dynamax Pokemon will take over all Power Spots on the map. This gives players a chance to witness multiple encounters with this Pokemon to farm for good stats, stockpile rewards and resources, or even hunt down a shiny variant, if they’re lucky.
On October 13, 2025, Dynamax Bounsweet is being featured as the Max Monday boss. However, as Max Monday events occur within a slim window of time, Trainers will need to ensure they prepare ahead of time to make the most out of this opportunity. A complete breakdown of Dynamax Bounsweet’s core weaknesses and resistances, as well as the best counters, has been outlined in the guide below.

Pokemon GO Dynamax Bounsweet Max Monday Battle Guide
The Dynamax Bounsweet Max Battle event is only available on Monday, October 13, 2025, between 6 and 7 PM local time. During this time, all Power Spots on your Pokemon GO map will be taken over by Bounsweet, giving you an hour to defeat and capture as many of them as possible. However, to do so with the most ease, knowing the weaknesses and resistances of this Pokemon will come in handy when it comes to selecting counters.
Bounsweet Weaknesses & Resistances
In Pokemon GO, Bounsweet is a pure Grass Type Pokemon. Thankfully, this means that its weaknesses and resistances are pretty straightforward. Bounsweet is resistant to Grass, Ground, Water, and Electric Type Pokemon and moves. However, it is vulnerable to Fire, Flying, Ice, Poison, and Bug Types, so Trainers should utilize these kinds of monsters as much as possible when going up against Dynamax Bounsweet.
Dynamax Bounsweet Counters
In Pokemon GO Max Battles, players can only utilize Dynamax Pokemon. As Dynamax Pokemon are one of the more recent mechanic additions the game, there is a limited (but growing) catalog of monsters to pick from. However, despite some limitations, there are still several options that stand out as the best choices when going up against Dynamax Bounsweet in combat, due to Type advantage. These Pokemon have been listed below.
- Charmander / Charmeleon / Charizard
- Scorbunny / Raboot / Cinderace
- Moltres
- Darumaka / Darmanitan
- Caterpie / Metapod / Butterfree
- Entei
- Rookidee / Corvisquire / Corviknight
- Trubbish / Garbodor
Aside from that, Normal Types such as Wooloo / Dubwool and Skwovet / Greedent can also get the job done, or a Venusaur could still potentially wipe with a Poison Type move. This is because, although it shares a Grass Type with Dynamax Bounsweet, its stats will generally mean it does more damage against Bounsweet than Bounsweet will do against it – especially if you can use a Poison move, which Bounsweet is vulnerable to.
Can Dynamax Bounsweet Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes, shiny Bounsweet is already available in Pokemon GO, meaning it is possible to encounter and obtain a shiny Dynamax Bounsweet. However, there is no guarantee that you will meet the lucky odds for this to happen. To improve their chances, players will need to farm consecutive Dynamax Bounsweet Max Battles, prompting as many Dynamax Bounsweet encounter spawns as possible in hopes that they beat the odds of a shiny appearing.
