Water-type fans can keep expanding their Pokemon Go collection with the arrival of Gigantamax Kingler. Learn everything about the crab’s Max Battle Day, including the ticket price and event bonuses.
After Gigantamax Lapras‘ successful debut last month, it’s time for yet another enormous Water-type Pokemon to join Niantic’s mobile game.
Gigantamax Kingler will be 2025’s first Gigantamax form and will arrive with its own special Max Battle Day. So, check out all the event details and dust off your best Electric-type Pokemon to challenge the foaming crustacean.
Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day: Date & time
The Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day will take place on Saturday, February 1, 2025, from 2:00 PM until 5:00 PM local time.
During this time, Gigantamax Kingler will appear in 6-Star Max Battles and lucky players that challenge the mighty crab multiple times can increase their chances of finding a Shiny Gigantamax Kingler.
Remember that this form is only temporary, so after defeating Gigantamax Kingler, trainers will have the opportunity to try and catch a regular Kingler with the Gigantamax ability.
Max Mushrooms
The Max Mushrooms are a special item that temporarily doubles all the damage Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon deal in Max Battles, and players who challenge Gigantamax Kingler can make use of them to secure a win.
Max Mushroom can be used from the Item Bag while in a Max Battle lobby. However, keep in mind that using more than one won’t increase the damage multiplier, only the effect’s duration.
