Pokemon GO introduced Gigantamax Kingler on February 1. Last year, Pokemon GO finally added Dynamax and Gigantamax forms, one of the most anticipated additions. The developers have been adding these variants to the game since then.
Gigantamax is a Dynamax that helps Pokemon grow, alter appearance, and learn G-Max Moves. The main series of games includes 32 pocket monsters that can Gigantamax, but Niantic’s game only has six, with Gigantamax Lapras being the latest. This list will grow once developers announce a new event in the following weeks.
Pokemon GO’s Max Battle Day on February 1 will introduce Gigantamax Kingler. The Water-type Pokemon will debut in six-star Max Battles from 2 to 5 pm local time, with trainers getting a chance to catch a shiny one. Max Mushrooms, the controversial Pokemon GO item that briefly boosts Dynamax and Gigantamax damage in Max Battles, can aid teams.
