The following Pokémon will make its Pokémon GO Gigantamax debut in six-star Max Battles!

Gigantamax Lapras*

The Max Mushroom is a new item that temporarily amplifies the Fast Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Max Move attacks of your Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon in Max Battles. While active in a Max Battle, your attacks will do double damage until the item timer runs out. Using multiple Max Mushrooms consecutively will lengthen the duration of the effect, but it will not increase the damage multiplier.

Remember to check your Item Bag while in a Max Battle lobby and use any Max Mushrooms you’ve acquired. You can also see whether other Trainers in the lobby have Max Mushrooms active.

The following bonuses will be active during the event.

• Max Particle collection limit increased to 1,600
• All Power Spots will host Gigantamax Battles
• Power Spots will refresh more frequently
• 8× Max Particles from Power Spots

The following bonuses will be active on December 8, 2024, from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.

• 2× Max Particles from exploring*
• 1/4 adventuring distance to receive Max Particles*

You’ll also receive the following bonuses.

• Max Particle collection limit increased to 5,600

This Timed Research will be effective on Sunday, December 8, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.
