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 temporarily double the damage dealt by your Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon during Max Battles, making your attacks more potent. You can use multiple Max Mushrooms consecutively to extend this effect, though it won't stack the damage multiplier.

Teaming up with other Trainers can also significantly boost your chances of success. Utilize Campfire to find both Max Battles and fellow Trainers to join forces with. Happy battling!
