Gigantamax Butterfree

PvE Analysis
One of only two Gigantamax Bug Types in the game, the other being Gigantamax Orbeetle. Gigantamax Butterfree has some massive advantages on this front; namely a higher Attack stat and access to a 0.5 second Fast Move in Bug Bite to drop G-Max Befuddles all the faster. However, this thing is still running around with 167 attack, meaning any "good" Bug Type Dynamax Pokemon that may drop in the future, such as Volcarona or Vikavolt, could easily out-class it despite lacking a G-Max Move. Then there's the fact that this is a Bug Type, which is one of the worst offensive (and defensive) types in the game. Yeah, all-in-all you should really only raise a Gigantamax Butterfree if you're a huge fan of Mothra.
Best Dynamax Moveset
- Bug Bite is the way to go here, as it's Butterfree's best Fast Move for building up energy. And since Gigantamax Butterfree can only use G-Max Befuddle, there's no loss of options here no matter what you want to do.
PvP Analysis
This is basically just normal Butterfree without access to Return in pvp.
