Tips for Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day Pokémon GO Event
To maximize your success during the Gigantamax Kingler Max Battle Day event, consider using Max Mushrooms. These items will temporarily double the damage output of your Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon during Max Battles, making them a crucial asset. You can stack multiple Max Mushrooms to extend the duration of this boost, though it won't increase the damage multiplier further.
Teaming up with other Trainers can also greatly enhance your chances of success. Utilize Campfire to find both Max Battles and fellow Trainers willing to join forces. Prepare well and enjoy the battles ahead!
