Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day: Tips for Success

  • Max Mushrooms: These temporarily double your Dynamax/Gigantamax Pokémon's damage in Max Battles. Use them strategically! You can use multiple in a row, but this won't increase the damage multiplier beyond double.

  • Team Up: Teamwork makes the dream work! Use Campfire to find Max Battles and connect with other Trainers.

Get ready for an epic battle! Good luck, Trainers!
