Dynamax Ralts during Max Monday

What to Prioritize

This Max Monday features Ralts as the exclusive raid boss. While Ralts has its charm and can evolve into Gardevoir or Gallade, its competitive viability in the current meta is limited. Evolving Ralts into Gardevoir could yield a solid Fairy-type attacker with Charm and Moonblast, but you’ll need a high IV and perfect move set to make it truly effective. If you're looking for something to take away from this event, focus on catching a few Ralts and checking their IVs, especially if you want to build a Gardevoir for Great League play.

Bonuses Worth Using

Unfortunately, there are no bonuses tied to this Max Monday event. This means you'll be raiding solely for the fun of battling Ralts. If you enjoy the thrill of taking down the boss or securing a shiny (though there's no shiny available this time), that's where you'll find your motivation. Otherwise, consider using this as a light training session rather than a serious grind.

Is It Worth Your Time?

Given that Ralts isn’t currently making waves in competitive play and there are no shiny bonuses, the time investment in this event might not be justified for most trainers. If you’re a collector or just enjoy the social aspect of raiding with friends, it could still be a fun way to spend an hour. However, for competitive players, it may be better to save your raid passes for Pokémon that offer more utility or potential in battles.
