Despite having weeks to explore the ins and outs of the Galar region, a professional player hilariously proved that players still have some new tricks to learn when he shared the perfect Dynamax counter that had the community in stitches.

Viral Dynamax counter method
Pro Pokemon player ‘WolfeyGlick‘ shared the method on his Twitter account with a video that shows him robbing his opponent of their Dynamx move.
While in a doubles battle with a foe, the YouTuber exclaimed “Dynamax Excadrill! I’m so nervous I’m literally shaking. Please, Dynamax Excadrill!” before he burst into laughter when his opponent did just that.

Twitter user and amateur esports commentator ‘Shinkari‘ did a break down of the method, and explained how brilliant the move actually was for anyone that was confused at what went down.
Wolfey made a gamble that his opponent would use his Excadrill to Dynamax, and used Grimmsnarl’s ‘Trick’ to swap the other player’s move for ‘Eject Button’ – which recalls the Pokemon holding it should they get hit.
To finish off the combo, he also had his Sylveon target the enemy with a quick attack to land the punch, which forced his freshly Dynamaxed Pokemon out.
