Pokemon GO Reveals New Gigantamax Debut Coming in Future Event

Gigantamax Kingler Makes its Pokemon GO Debut on Max Battle Day

Get ready for the arrival of Gigantamax Kingler in Pokémon GO! This powerful Water-type Pokémon will debut on February 1st, 2025, as part of a special Max Battle Day event. This event offers a fantastic opportunity to encounter this rare Pokémon in six-star Max Battles, even with a chance to snag a shiny variant.

The event, running from 2 pm to 5 pm local time, introduces several exciting features. Players can leverage Max Mushrooms to significantly boost the damage output of their Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon during Max Battles. Beyond Gigantamax Kingler, the event boasts substantial bonuses:

• Increased Max Particle Collection: The event increases the maximum number of collectible Max Particles, a crucial resource for Max Battles. The standard limit jumps to 1600, while a $5 ticket boosts this further to 5600.
• Amplified Power Spot Battles: Every Power Spot will host Gigantamax Battles, refreshing more often and yielding eight times the usual Max Particles.
• Enhanced XP Rewards: Players will receive increased XP rewards, further incentivizing participation. The $5 ticket also doubles XP earned from Max Battles.

Event Bonuses and In-App Purchases:

The event extends beyond the core 2-5 pm timeframe. From 1 pm to 5 pm, players will enjoy double Max Particle gains while exploring and reduced adventure distance requirements for particle acquisition. For those seeking an extra edge, a $5 ticket provides a Max Mushroom, 25,000 XP, double Max Battle XP, and the aforementioned increased particle cap. A premium $7.99 bundle, available on the Pokémon GO web store, offers six packs of Max Particles.

Event Timing and Other February Events:

Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 1st, 2025, from 2 pm to 5 pm local time for the Max Battle Day event. While Gigantamax Kingler will be the star, it's not the only exciting event in February. The Lunar New Year event runs from January 29th to February 1st, and a Shadow Ho-Oh Shadow Raid Day is scheduled for January 19th. More Galar Pokémon are also expected to arrive in the coming days. Prepare for a month packed with Pokémon GO excitement!
