Niantic teased yesterday that something big would come today and here it is finally. Gigantamax for Pokémon GO has just been revealed. Below we have all the information for you that we know so far and is therefore important to know:
- Gigantamax is coming to Pokémon GO for the first time
- Unlike Dynamax, like Mega, this is an actual change in appearance and stats, but also temporary
- You can play with up to 40 players at the same time (twice as many as raids)
- The first three Dynamax Pokémon are Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise (view them here)
- The Gigantamax Pokémon will be in the game for the first time on the weekend of October 26 and 27
- They appear on Power Spots, but refresh much more often than Dynamax Pokémon
- So not once every few days, but several times a day
- A Gigantamax Battle costs 800 Max Particles
- It will be one of the most challenging bosses ever
- Niantic recommends a minimum of ten players, but hints that solo is not possible
- In terms of difficulty they are higher than a level 5 Dynamax
- You defeat Gigantamax Pokémon with other Gigantamax Pokémon and Dynamax Pokémon
- If you leave a Gigantamax Pokémon at a Powerspot, a Dynamax Pokémon may appear in the wild
- You can also battle Dynamax Pokémon with your Gigantamax Pokémon
- Of course, the Gigantamax Pokémon can also be shiny when you catch them
- Power spots will soon also be available in Campfire around the launch of Gigantamax

Gigantamax Is Here! Pokémon GO Takes it Up a Notch
Well, well, well! It seems Niantic has been playing their cards close to their chest and just dropped a bombshell—Gigantamax is officially making its debut in Pokémon GO! And if you thought you had the hang of “Dynamaxing,” brace yourself because this is a whole new ball game. So, grab your Poké Balls, because we’re diving into what this colossal twist means for trainers everywhere!
What in the name of Pokémon is Gigantamax?
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Gigantamax (you know, living under a rock, or perhaps just really busy staring at your phone), let’s break it down. This new feature, unlike Dynamax—which is basically like saying, “Let’s just inflate some Pokémon!”—is an actual facelift for these critters. We’re talking new appearances and improved stats, albeit temporarily. It’s like Pokémon are getting a glow-up for a wild night out! Just remember to put them back in their Poké Balls before the next morning.
Get Ready for a Gigantamax Rumble!
In a twist that would make even Lee Evans do a double-take, Niantic is upping the ante by allowing up to a staggering 40 players to join in on the action! That’s right, you can summon 39 of your friends, family, or even those random people you just met in the park—the more, the merrier! Because you’ll need that many hands on deck when tackling the first three Dinosaurs—err, I mean Gigantamax Pokémon: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. It’s like a Pokémon party, but one where everyone’s invited… and everyone’s got a reason to panic!
Powerspots and Costs—Get Your Wallets Ready!
Now, here’s where things get interesting. These Gigantamax baddies will pop up at “Power Spots” but don’t worry, they’ll refresh more often than that annoying friend who texts you asking to hang out every single weekend. Instead of days, think several appearances a day! But hold your horses, each Gigantamax Battle will set you back 800 Max Particles, which is a cheeky price as you scramble to calculate how much you can afford to spend while still paying your rent!
Are You Tough Enough?
Here’s the catch: Niantic suggests a minimum of ten players, hinting that you may as well forget about going solo on this one. If you thought a level 5 Dynamax Pokémon was a piece of cake, think again. These battles will be as challenging as trying to convince your friends to actually use the Group Chat!
But Wait, There’s More!
Defeating Gigantamax Pokémon requires—surprise!—other Gigantamax or Dynamax Pokémon. And just when you thought it couldn’t get better, there’s a shiny chance involved! Yes, you heard it here; shiny Gigantamax Pokémon are a possibility! Because who doesn’t want to catch a giant, glimmering beast like a kid in a candy store? Forget about the sweets; shiny Pokémon are the real treasures here!
Power Spots Across the Land!
As the cherry on top, these fabulous Power Spots won’t just disappear into the night. They’ll also be popping up in Campfire around the launch of Gigantamax. It’s like a Pokémon scavenger hunt, but with more excitement and, let’s be honest, less chance of losing your mind in the process.
