Pokemon That Learn Max Phantasm

Max Phantasm is usable by all Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokemon who know at least one Ghost-type damaging move. That move will be replaced with Max Phantasm while the Pokemon is Dynamaxed.

In the case of Gigantamax Pokemon, they may not be able to learn this move if their Ghost-type damaging moves are instead replaced by their signature G-Max Move.

An example of a good Max Phantasm user is MImikyu, since it remains to be one of the popular Pokemon in the current meta.
