Pokemon GO enthusiasts, mark your calendars for February 1 as the much-anticipated Gigantamax Kingler makes its grand entrance into the game during the Max Battle Day event. This event marks a significant update to Pokemon GO, following the introduction of Dynamax and Gigantamax forms last year. These forms not only enhance a Pokemon's size and strength but also alter its appearance and grant unique G-Max Moves. While the main series boasts 32 Pokemon capable of Gigantamaxing, Pokemon GO currently features only six, with Gigantamax Lapras being the latest addition before Kingler.
