The event commences on Saturday, February 1st, 2025, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. Don't miss out! Gigantamax Kingler will appear in six-star Max Battles, offering a chance to encounter a Shiny variant.
Several bonuses enhance your gameplay:
-

- 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:

- 1/4 reduced adventuring distance for Max Particles (requires collecting all nearby Max Particles beforehand)
Remember, to maximize the last two bonuses, ensure you've collected all visible Max Particles in the Nearby menu.
Exclusive Timed Research & Tickets:
For $5 (or local equivalent), access event-exclusive Timed Research from 2 PM to 5 PM on February 1st. Rewards include a Max Mushroom, 25,000 XP, 2x XP from Max Battles, and a boosted Max Particle collection limit (5,600).
Tickets are giftable to Great Friends or higher, but only purchasable until 4 PM local time. Purchases are non-refundable and cannot be made with PokéCoins.
Strategic Tips for Success:
Utilize Max Mushrooms to temporarily double your Dynamax/Gigantamax Pokémon's damage in Max Battles. Multiple Mushrooms can be used consecutively, but this doesn't stack the damage multiplier.
Team up with other Trainers via Campfire to tackle the challenging battles more efficiently.
Pokémon GO is available now.
