Lead with Blissey and charge up your energy bar with Pound. For the initial Dynamax phases, attack with G-Max Kingler. Once Blissey starts getting to yellow health, heal it. Make sure that your Kingler is alive till the end, as it is the main source of damage. Charizard with Dragon Breath and Max Wyrmwind can close out the fight in the end.
