A G-Max move is a special type of move introduced in Generation VIII. G-Max moves are a part of a Gigantamax Pokémon's moveset and much like with Z-Moves and Max moves, G-Max moves replace regular moves with stronger versions. Each G-Max move is particular to a specific species of Gigantamax Pokémon, and regular Dynamax Pokémon can't use G-Max moves at all.
