Tips for Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day Pokémon GO Event

To make the most of this event, consider using Max Mushrooms, which temporarily double the damage your Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon deal during Max Battles. You can stack them for extended effects, but remember, this won't increase the damage multiplier further.

Teaming up with other Trainers can also enhance your chances of success. Use Campfire to find both Max Battles and fellow Trainers to join forces with. Get ready for some thrilling battles!
