According to Pok\u00e9mon Go’s<\/em> senior product manager Kathy Woo, defeating a Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon without assistance is “impossible” and the feature is “designed to be played with others”\u2014encouraging players to recruit help in their local communities. <\/p>
Though this may make alarm bells ring for those who don’t live in metropolitan areas, where finding other players to raid with is much easier, Woo said fans would be surprised how many players there are “even in rural areas”\u2014so their “best bet is to try and find a local community.”<\/p>
That doesn’t mean the door is shut entirely, however, as accessibility is “something we’re going to keep a close eye on”\u2014which may mean that we eventually see remote access available to Gigantamax and Dynamax Raids, similar to what is available in other areas of the game.<\/p>
Niantic has long-term plans for Gigantamax and Dynamax in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em>, with a “large feature roadmap” on the agenda that will continue to expand this area of the game with new Pok\u00e9mon, features, and more. <\/p>
Senior producer Jogn Funtanilla added that Niantic is “in the infancy of this feature” and there is “a lot more to go,” with plenty to be considered, including the ability to transform Dynamax-eligible Pok\u00e9mon into their Gigantamax form\u2014something players could do in Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield using Max Soup.<\/p>
The introduction of Dynamax and Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> is only in “phase one,” and the end goal is to connect the feature to others that are already firmly established in the game. For now, though, the focus is bringing Gigantamax and Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon “into your hands,” while the “rewards and functionality will come later.”<\/p>
Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon are worth adding to your collection, as they are “much more powerful” with unique GMAX attacks—and they also look incredible.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Gigantamax will make its debut in Pok\u00e9mon Go on Oct. 26 with the arrival of Gigantamax Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise, and the raid battles against these bosses are the biggest ever seen in the game, with up to 40 players. Gathering such a large group for a battle is a difficult task, however, so many players, particularly those in rural areas, may want to try and take down Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon on their own\u2014but there's bad news for anyone looking to solo them.
