Pokémon GO expands Gigantamax Battles for GO Fest 2025: Max Finale
Trainers, the highly coordinated Gigantamax battles are getting bigger. Starting with Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Max Finale, groups of up to 100 Trainers will be able to join the same battle against a Gigantamax Pokémon or Eternamax Eternatus. Players will be organized into squads of four or fewer, and the more Trainers who participate, the better the chances of a successful showdown.
The update will roll out worldwide and will continue to be in effect even after the GO Fest event concludes.
What this means for players
– Greater participation: Up to 100 Trainers can collaborate in a single battle, making it feasible for larger communities to take on powerful Gigantamax foes together.
– Structured teamwork: Participants will be divided into smaller subgroups, enabling coordinated strategies and streamlined communication during battles.
– Global and ongoing: The change applies worldwide and remains in effect after the event, allowing players worldwide to plan large-scale raids beyond GO Fest.
Summary
This update to Pokémon GO’s Gigantamax Battles enhances community play by enabling massive, coordinated battles against Gigantamax Pokémon and Eternamax Eternatus. By organizing players into manageable squads while allowing a total pool of up to 100 participants, Niantic aims to boost participation and success rates during GO Fest 2025: Max Finale.
Positive note
The expansion encourages teamwork and community engagement, giving players across the globe a bigger, more inclusive way to experience the excitement of Gigantamax battles.
