Tips for Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day Pokémon GO Event

Going into the Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day event, you’ll want to consider using Max Mushrooms. These items temporarily double all damage that your Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon Deal during Max Battles, making your job a lot easier by putting more power into your Max Moves. You can use multiple Max Mushrooms in a row to buy yourself more time as well but bear in mind that this won’t increase the existing damage multiplier.

Finally, you’ll want to team up with other Trainers to take on the task. Campfire is a great way to find both Max Battles and other Trainers. Happy battling!
