Event Date & Time:

The Gigantamax Kingler event begins Saturday, February 1st, 2025, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. Don't miss this limited-time opportunity to encounter Gigantamax Kingler in six-star Max Battles, with a chance to find a Shiny variant.

Event Bonuses:

Several bonuses enhance the event experience:

  • During the event (2 PM - 5 PM):

    • Increased Max Particle collection limit (1,600)
    • All Power Spots host Gigantamax Battles
    • More frequent Power Spot refreshes
    • 8x Max Particles from Power Spots
  • From 12 AM to 5 PM:

    • 2x Max Particles from exploration
    • 1/4 reduced adventuring distance for Max Particles (requires collecting all nearby Max Particles beforehand)

Remember, to benefit from the last two bonuses, collect all visible Max Particles in the Nearby menu.

Event Exclusives & Tickets:

A $5 (or regional equivalent) Timed Research is available during the event (2 PM - 5 PM), offering:

  • 1 Max Mushroom
  • 25,000 XP

Additional bonuses from the Timed Research include 2x XP from Max Battles and an increased Max Particle collection limit (5,600). Tickets can be gifted to Great Friends or higher, but are only available until 4 PM local time and are non-refundable.

Tips for Success:

  • Utilize Max Mushrooms: These double your Dynamax/Gigantamax Pokémon's damage in Max Battles, significantly aiding combat. Multiple uses are possible but won't stack the damage multiplier.
  • Team Up: Collaborate with other Trainers via Campfire to tackle Max Battles more efficiently.

Pokémon GO is available now.
