Dynamax Sobble is the latest Pokémon to take center stage in Max Mondays schedule for all players throughout April 2025. Scobble will feature in the event on Monday 21 April 2025, between 6pm and 7pm local time.

Alongside fellow starter Pokémon Scorbunny and Grookey, Dynamax Sobble was released last year into Pokémon GO shortly after Dynamax variants were added to the game. All Dynamax Pokémon can primarily only be caught in one way, through Max Battles, with Max Monday's offering the perfect chance to catch one. During the hour that it is featured, only Dynamax Sobble will be available to find in any Max Battles.

Dynamax Sobble Weaknesses & Resistance In Pokémon GO

Electric & Grass Types Are Critical

As a starter type, Sobble is a pure Water-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. To succeed in Max Battles and be able to take it down, it's vital to know what it is weak against and what it resists. While it is only a tier 1 Max Battle, you will be able to defeat it more easily if you use Pokémon types that are super-effective against it. It is weak to Electric- and Grass-type attacks. Any moves of these two types will do an additional 60% damage.

On the opposite end of things, Sobble resists four different types of attacks as a Water-type. It takes less damage from Fire-, Ice-, Steel-, and Water-type attacks. You should avoid using any Pokémon of these types, as all of their moves do 37.5% less damage to Sobble. Max Battles differ from regular battles against AI opponents like Team GO Rocket Leader Giovanni and regular raids in that the moves of your Pokémon change and are predetermined by your Pokémon's type.

Five Super-Effective Options

Thankfully, Pokémon GO features plenty of good options for taking down Dynamax Sobble on Max Mondays. You should use Electric or Grass types for the battle if you have three in either Gigantamax or Dynamax form. Currently, there are five Pokémon, or evolution lines, which fall under one of the two types that are super-effective against Sobble.

One of the Gigantamax Pokémon you can use is Venusaur. The Grass and Poison type should be set up with Grass-type moves and will make very quick work of this Max Battle. Likewise, Gigantamax Toxtricity is an Electric type and will be equally able to defeat Sobble on its own.

If you haven't been able to catch Gigantamax, you shouldn't worry, as I have found that standard Dynamax Pokémon that are super-effective against Sobble will still comfortably be able to take it down. The Legendary Pokémon Zapdos and Raikou have both been available in Pokémon GO in Dynamax form since the turn of the year and feature fantastic attacking stats, making this an easy battle to win. Finally, Pokémon like Rillaboom who are also super-effective against Sobble will do the job if you don't have the option to use one of the above.

As Sobble is a one-star Max Battle, you will easily be able to defeat it with one Pokémon that is super-effective.

To be able to take on Dynamax Sobble on Max Mondays, all you need to do is find a Power Spot nearby. Any active ones that have a Pokémon in them will contain Sobble for the featured hour. You can take on the Max Battle as a solo player or with friends, but it can be defeated on your own.

The most difficult element of the battle is that you are limited to using Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokémon, but you should still have plenty to choose from if you have played Pokémon GO over the last six months. Dynamax Sobble is not one of the hardest Pokémon to defeat on Max Mondays, but you can make the task even easier by using Electric- or Grass-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO.
