Pokémon GO Gigantamax Event: October 26-27!

Get Ready to Gigantamax! Pokémon Go's October Surprise!

Pokémon GO: Gigantamax Pokémon Invade in October!

Hold onto your Poké Balls, trainers! Gigantamax Pokémon are stomping into Pokémon GO this October 26th (ending October 27th)! This is a limited-time event and this is massive. We're talking epic battles against Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise—in their ginormous Gigantamax forms! This new update adds a significant boost to the previously established Dynamax features introduced earlier this year; this adds those previously unheard-of combat experiences in Pokémon GO, and showcases a brilliant collaboration between The Pokémon Company and Niantic; meaning a major, surprising event that creates a lot of hype and anticipation, further emphasizing this collaborative venture's value; meaning more fans.

This collaboration, with its limited time event focused around the powerful Gigantamax Pokémon that would feature intensely challenging boss battles, will truly add significant complexity to this previously simpler game. The collaboration between The Pokémon Company and Niantic also allows significant opportunities for both companies to show off just what each company truly represents and could also further create many new interactions which add complexity to an increasingly bigger fanbase.

This new event is designed for coordinated teamwork and players are challenged by battling some extremely challenging and tough Pokémon; meaning that going in solo will never really work; and demonstrates the sheer amount of required collaboration: You're teaming up with up to 39 other trainers to take down these colossal creatures. The trailer alone looks amazing and creates some great anticipation for this unique combat experience. You will encounter significantly larger and more challenging versions of the Pokémon already familiar to most players, adding complexity and strategic considerations.

And you get rewards for participating! The chance to catch these insanely powerful Gigantamax Pokémon for yourself will totally add those much-needed bragging rights and help level up various parts of a player's collection! Trainers at level 13 and up? Get access to “To The Max” Special Research. This encounter will provide many other powerful Pokémon capable of using the Dynamax features that would help other players complete the encounters; further adding unique value. Players will not find these encounters randomly but actively, searching throughout those locations; creating that extra necessary emphasis for players engaging with the real world outside the game to obtain these extremely challenging, rewarding events and capturing these monsters adds enormous boosts that greatly affect other future events!

These battles occur at those randomly spawning Power Spots (they won't appear in the same place twice!). You need to hunt to find these huge monsters. That requires searching the real world. It’s all about the exploration – and using your powers for obtaining rewards after those very unique events that only happen briefly and showcase what's required to be the very best Pokémon Master possible. The limited duration means these battles must be done rapidly. You’re able to team up with your friends to participate in these intensely fun, cooperative events and obtain various in-game rewards; including new and interesting Gigantamax Pokémon that would greatly benefit many who choose to collect these kinds of monsters, which makes participating extremely crucial.

You even get rewards for supporting other players. Help teammates who fainted! Even cheering them on creates hefty rewards— all emphasizing this event's need for coordinated team effort. This time-limited event runs from October 26th, 10:00 a.m. to October 27th, 8:00 p.m. (local time). This timeframe means everyone must act quickly!
