Can Follow Me redirect Dynamax and Gigantamax moves?

Question

I've seen Follow Me redirect moves in Max Raid battles, but the moves used were the regular moves, not D/G-max moves. So can they be redirected?

Comments

That's the entire point of the Clefairy AI ally, as far as I can tell.  Unless Priority moves are ineffective, such as under Psychic Terrain, the AI Clefairy will use Follow Me 9/10 times.

Answer 1

Yes, they can be. I’ve seen it a few times in VGC, when it was pretty obvious that the move was supposed to hit the other Pokémon. For more evidence, I read this, and it also says the Gmax/Max moves will be redirected. Unless it’s a HA Duraludon or a HA Barraskewda, of course (Stalwart and Propeller Tail).

Hope this helps! :)

also, Amelia's Clefairy (NPC) has Follow Me in its moveset. And, surprisingly, it works.
