Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day: Exclusives & Tickets

For a boosted experience, grab the event-exclusive Timed Research for $5 (or equivalent). Available from 2 PM to 5 PM local time on February 1st, it includes:

  • 1 Max Mushroom
  • 25,000 XP
  • 2x XP from Max Battles
  • Increased Max Particle collection limit to 5,600

You can also gift tickets to Great Friends or higher, but be quick—they're only available until 4 PM local time and are non-refundable.

Tips for the Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day

  • Max Mushrooms: Use Max Mushrooms to temporarily double your Dynamax/Gigantamax Pokémon's damage during Max Battles. You can use multiple in a row, but each mushroom only doubles the existing damage, not the multiplier itself.
  • Team Up: Team up with other Trainers via Campfire to tackle the challenging six-star Max Battles more effectively.

Good luck, Trainers! May your Max Moves be strong and your catches plentiful!

Pokémon GO is available now.
