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!
