The teaser also showcases a possibleGigantamax Formtoward the end, which is anotherSword and Shieldexclusive. This form substantially increases a Pokémon’s size, similar toGo’sXXL creatures. It also offers G-Max moves that take their normal attacks to new heights.
Although the event is still under wraps, the starters and the Gigantamax Form Pokémon will likely be obtainable during the celebration. Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble have the potential to work their way up the meta, as we’ve seen with Generation 7’s Popplio andGeneration 9’sFuecoco.
Grookey proves to be an excellent Grass Type, with its two robust evolutions, Thwackey and Rillaboom. Then, there’s the fiery Fire Type, Scorbunny, considered the best starter ofSword and Shield. But, if you’re more of a Water enthusiast, Sobble can be a beast on the battlefield, especially with its all-powerful evolution forms.
Since thePokémon GoMax Outevent is out in September, we should be getting more news on what it will entail. Many other events, including the Ponyta and GalarianCommunity Day, are already in the works. So, clear your calendars and get your Poké Balls ready for Generation 8’s debut on Sept. 3.
