Tips for Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day Pokémon GO Event
To maximize your success during the event, consider using Max Mushrooms. These items temporarily double the damage dealt by your Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon during Max Battles, making your attacks more potent. You can use multiple Max Mushrooms consecutively to extend this effect, though it won't stack the damage multiplier.
Also, teaming up with other Trainers can significantly enhance your experience. Use Campfire to find both Max Battles and fellow players to join forces with. Get ready for an exciting battle day!
