Pokemon GO Reveals New Gigantamax Debut Coming in Future Event

Gigantamax Kingler Debuts in Pokemon GO: Max Battle Day Event

Get ready, Pokemon GO trainers! The highly anticipated Gigantamax Kingler will make its grand entrance into the game on February 1, 2025, during the special Max Battle Day event. This marks a significant addition to the roster of Gigantamax forms that have been gradually introduced since the feature's rollout last year. Gigantamax transformations not only amplify a Pokemon's size and strength but also bestow unique G-Max Moves and striking new appearances.

Currently, Pokemon GO boasts six Gigantamax forms, with the latest being Gigantamax Lapras. The inclusion of Gigantamax Kingler will elevate this count, offering players an exciting new challenge and opportunity to encounter this formidable Water-type in six-star Max Battles. Notably, there's a chance to encounter a shiny variant of Gigantamax Kingler, adding an extra layer of thrill to the event.
