Tips for the Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day Event

To maximize your success:

  • Use Max Mushrooms: These temporarily double your Dynamax/Gigantamax Pokémon's damage in Max Battles. You can use multiple in a row, but each mushroom only doubles the base damage.
  • Team Up: Use Campfire to find Max Battles and team up with other Trainers.

Pokémon GO is available now. Good luck, Trainers!
