Get ready, trainers! The highly anticipated Gigantamax Kingler is set to make its grand debut in Pokemon GO on February 1 during the Max Battle Day event. This event, running from 2 pm to 5 pm local time, introduces the Water-type Pokemon in six-star Max Battles, offering players a thrilling chance to encounter a shiny Gigantamax Kingler. To enhance their battle performance, players can leverage Max Mushrooms, a contentious item that temporarily boosts the damage output of Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon in Max Battles.
The Max Battle Day event is packed with exciting bonuses designed to enrich your gameplay. From February 1, between 1 pm and 5 pm local time, you'll experience an increased Max Particle collection limit of up to 1600, ensuring you have ample resources for Max Battles. All Power Spots will host Gigantamax Battles, refresh more frequently, and reward you with 8x more Max Particles. Additionally, during this period, you'll collect double Max Particles while exploring and need only a quarter of the usual adventure distance to earn these valuable resources.
To further enhance your experience, a new $7.99 bundle will be available on the Pokemon GO Web Store, offering six packs of Max Particles. For those looking for even more benefits, a $5 ticket provides 1 Max Mushroom, 25000 XP, double XP from Max Battles, and an increased Max Particle collection limit of 5600.
While the Gigantamax Kingler debut is a highlight of February's events, it's not the only excitement on the horizon. The Lunar New Year event, running from January 29 to February 1, precedes the Max Battle Day. Additionally, mark your calendars for the return of Shadow Ho-Oh in a Shadow Raid Day on January 19, and stay tuned for more Galar Pokemon making their way to Pokemon GO in the coming days.
