Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day: Event Details

Event Date & Time

Prepare for battle! The Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day event takes place on Saturday, February 1, 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. There's even a chance to snag a Shiny one!

Event Bonuses

This event is packed with bonuses to boost your progress! During the event (2 PM to 5 PM local time):

  • Increased Max Particle collection limit: 1,600
  • All Power Spots host Gigantamax Battles
  • More frequent Power Spot refreshes
  • 8x Max Particles from Power Spots

Even better, these bonuses are active from 12 AM to 5 PM local time on February 1st:

  • 2x Max Particles from exploring
  • 1/4 adventuring distance to receive Max Particles

Remember, to activate the last two bonuses, collect all Max Particles from the Nearby menu first. Keep an eye on that Nearby menu icon for daily Max Particle collection opportunities!

Event Exclusives & Tickets

For a boosted experience, grab the event-exclusive Timed Research for $5 (or local equivalent). Available during the event (2 PM to 5 PM local time), it rewards:

  • 1 Max Mushroom
  • 25,000 XP

Plus, you'll enjoy these additional bonuses with the Timed Research:

  • 2x XP from Max Battles
  • Increased Max Particle collection limit: 5,600

You can also gift tickets to Great Friends or higher, but act fast—they're only available until 4 PM local time during the event. These purchases are non-refundable and can't be made with PokéCoins.

Tips for Success

To maximize your chances of success, remember these key tips:

  • Use Max Mushrooms: These temporarily double the damage your Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon deal, giving your Max Moves a significant boost. You can even use multiple in a row!
  • Team Up: Use Campfire to find Max Battles and team up with other Trainers for a cooperative advantage.

Get ready to battle!
