The Pokemon Sword and Shield Gigantamax Toxtricity event may be over. However, fans still have a chance to get their very own Gigantamax Pokemon: a G-Max Gengar, Machamp, and coming back in the game, a Gigantamax Snorlax.
A Chance to Catch 'Em All!
According to an official post by Pokemon, the Gigantamax Pokemons are available for a limited time only, which started on Mar. 8 and will last until Wednesday, Mar. 25, at 4:59 P.M. PDT.
Gigantamax Snorlax, Gengar, and Machamp will frequently spawn on 5-star Max Raid dens now.
For those who want to get a chance to catch these gigantic monsters, they will be featured in 5-star Max Raid dens and will spawn more frequently.
Unlike the previous Pokemon Sword and Shield events, fans can encounter these Gigantamax versions of Snorlax, Machamp, and Gengar on both the Shield and Sword versions, so there's no need to worry if you only own one of two.
Gigantamax Snorlax has already appeared in the game before, but for those who were unable to catch it, now's the best time to do so.
Like other Gigantamax Pokemon, the G-Max Snorlax has a G-Move known as G-Max Replenish, a move that can inflict damage to the opponent while restoring any Berries that Snorlax or any of its allies have used during the battle.
As per Shacknews, Gigantamax Machamp's G-Move is the G-Max Chi Strike, which raises the Critical Hit of all users and its allies, while Gigantamax Gengar has the G-Max Terror, which when used will no longer allow any player to escape.
Based on a report by Gamespot, Pokemon Sword and Shield is still offering a few freebies, including a free Bottle Cap and 20 free Battle Points.
These freebies are available until the end of the month.
