Tips for Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day Pokémon GO Event

To maximize your success, consider using Max Mushrooms, which temporarily double the damage dealt by your Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon during Max Battles. You can stack multiple Max Mushrooms for extended effect, though this won't further increase the damage multiplier.

Team up with other Trainers to tackle these challenging battles. Utilizing Campfire can help you locate both Max Battles and fellow Trainers to join forces with. Get ready for an epic battle, and happy battling!
