We are summarizing all the important info about the event for you.
All important information about the Gigantamax weekend in Pokémon GO
When does the Gigantamax event run? It starts on Saturday, October 26, 2024, at 10:00 AM. It ends on Sunday, October 27, at 8:00 PM.
What do I need to do? The three Gigantamax monsters will appear in the power sources. Fighting them is the central part of the event. The problem: these monsters are extremely strong.
How strong are Gigantamax bosses? Gigantamax bosses will be one of the toughest challenges in the game. Gigantamax bosses are considered level 6 Dyna-bosses.
Therefore, the group size is estimated to be up to 40 players. These will consist, as in normal Dynamax battles, of teams of four who will collectively fight against the Gigantamax boss.
Which Pokémon should I bring? The type depends on the Pokémon you are challenging. One thing is clear: you should bring strong Dynamax Pokémon with suitable moves. Probably, there’s no point in participating with Dynamax Wooloo or Raffle.
What rewards are there? As a reward for battling, you will receive:
- The boss Pokémon that has the ability to Gigantamax. It will also master the special Gigantamax move.
- Rare candies
- XP
Can Gigantamax Pokémon be shiny? Yes, with luck you can also obtain shiny versions of all three bosses.
How do I find Gigantamax bosses? They will appear at many power sources during the event. Through Campfire, you can determine where which bosses appear.
As soon as more information about the event becomes known, we will update this article. One thing is clear: these Gigantamax monsters will be really tough opponents. It should be worth catching them – if only to use them as counters against other powerful Pokémon. Because more Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon will appear. This includes, for instance, Gigantamax Riffex, which will appear in the GO nature zone event. This event will also bring a new ball to Pokémon GO.
