==In the core series games== | |||
Like other Dynamaxing, Gigantamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically and its {{stat|HP}} in {{pkmn|battle}}. Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax, and when they do, their appearance changes significantly, unlike regular Dynamaxing. As revealed by [[Professor Magnolia]], the Pokémon distorts space to change its size while affecting the world around them while altering their appearance drastically.<ref>[[Trainer Tips]]: ''The Dynamax phenomenon is caused by a special power that originates from within Pokémon, warping the space around them and making them appear far larger than they truly are. Some Pokémon also change appearance upon Dynamaxing. This particular kind of Dynamaxing is also known as Gigantamaxing.'' ({{g|Sword and Shield}})</ref> | |||
There are 32 species of Pokémon that are capable of Gigantamaxing, and there are 32 different Gigantamax forms; {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}} share a Gigantamax form, and {{p|Urshifu}} has two Gigantamax forms depending on its form (though {{p|Alcremie}} and {{p|Toxtricity}} have one Gigantamax form regardless of their form). | |||
A Pokémon under the effects of Gigantamax are distinguished by having "Gigantamax" in front of their species name e.g. "Gigantamax Hatterene". The process itself can describe the Pokémon as having "Gigantamaxed" in past-tense, or will "Gigantamax" in future-tense. Pokémon actively undergoing Gigantamax are described as "Gigantamaxing". However, the terminology used for Dynamaxing can also be used for Gigantamax. | |||
===History=== | |||
Gigantamax, as a type of Dynamax, originated from {{p|Eternatus}}, who provides the [[Galar]] [[region]] with Power Spots where Dynamax can be triggered. The [[Galar particle]]s left by Eternatus affected the Pokémon living in [[Galar]], giving a few of them the Gigantamax Factor needed for transformation. These Pokémon may only be found in [[Pokémon Den]]s. As a type of Dynamax, a [[Wishing Star]] and [[Dynamax Band]] are required to use the Gigantamax transformation. | |||
[[Rose]] implemented Dynamax and Gigantamax in Gym battles.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/story/pokemon-league/</ref> | |||
At some point, another method of obtaining the Gigantamax Factor was accidentally discovered by {{gal|Honey}} while developing the {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}} out of [[Max Mushrooms]]. | |||
Although Dynamax and Gigantamax are only known to occur in the Galar region, {{p|Melmetal}}'s Gigantamax form is a legend in a land distant from Galar. | |||
===Gigantamax Factor=== | |||
Even within species that are capable of Gigantamaxing, only certain individuals can Gigantamax. Pokémon that can Gigantamax are said to have the '''Gigantamax Factor'''.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/train-raid-and-hatch-pokemon-to-breed-victories-in-pokemon-sword-and-pokemon-shield/ Train, Raid, and Hatch Pokémon to Breed Victories in ''Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield'']</ref> Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor can be seen having the [[File:Dynamax icon.png|24px]] symbol next to their name on the summary screen. | |||
When a Pokémon Dynamaxes, if it has the Gigantamax Factor and is of a species that has a '''Gigantamax form''' (Japanese: '''キョダイマックスのすがた'''), it will turn into its Gigantamax form. If it does not have the Gigantamax Factor it will simply Dynamax as normal; if it has the Gigantamax Factor but does not have its own Gigantamax form (e.g. because it evolves into a Pokémon that does), it will also Dynamax as normal. | |||
Unlike others of their species, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Eevee}} with the Gigantamax Factor cannot [[evolution|evolve]]. They are also blocked from [[transfer]] to games other than {{g|Sword and Shield}} to prevent them from evolving in other games. | |||
====Acquisition==== | |||
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[wild Pokémon]] with the Gigantamax Factor can only be caught in [[Max Raid Battle]]s, but have a rare encounter rate and typically a lower [[catch rate]]. If the wild Pokémon that has a Gigantamax Form has the Gigantamax Factor, it will appear in its Gigantamax form in the Max Raid Battle. Pokémon encountered in Max Raid Battles that do not have a Gigantamax form will not have the Gigantamax Factor, with the exception of certain [[Wild Area News]] Max Raid Battles. | |||
Some Pokémon can only have the Gigantamax Factor in Max Raid Battles exclusive to limited-time [[Wild Area News]]. In addition, {{p|Machamp}} and {{p|Coalossal}} with the Gigantamax Factor are exclusive to Pokémon Sword, and {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Lapras}} with the Gigantamax Factor are exclusive to Pokémon Shield. Players with the opposite game may still join Max Raid Battles or use Max Soup to obtain these forms. | |||
{{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]] can be obtained with the Gigantamax Factor as [[gift Pokémon]]. {{p|Meowth}} with the Gigantamax Factor was first distributed via [[Mystery Gift]]. {{p|Melmetal}} with the Gigantamax Factor can only be obtained via [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)#Pokémon GO Melmetal|Mystery Gift]] in [[Pokémon HOME]]. | |||
[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pokémon cannot inherit the Gigantamax Factor. The Kanto first partner Pokémon, their secondary evolved forms, {{p|Milcery}}, and {{p|Hattrem}} are the only Pokémon without a Gigantamax form that can have the Gigantamax Factor; Kanto first partner Pokémon as a gift Pokémon, their secondary evolved forms by evolving them, and Milcery and Hattrem from Wild Area News-exclusive Max Raid Battles. | |||
By drinking [[Max Soup]], introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]] expansion, certain Pokémon which were previously incapable of Gigantamaxing can gain the Gigantamax Factor. All Pokémon with Gigantamax forms, with the exception of {{p|Melmetal}}, can drink Max Soup to gain the Gigantamax Factor. If a Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor drinks Max Soup, it will lose its Gigantamax Factor. Three bundles of [[Max Mushrooms]] are required to make the Max Soup. Adding the Gigantamax Factor to {{p|Urshifu}} or removing it from Urshifu also requires [[Max Honey]] in addition to the Max Mushrooms. | |||
===Effects=== | |||
In its Gigantamax form, a Pokémon can use a [[G-Max Move]]. Each G-Max Move is exclusive to a specific species of Gigantamax Pokémon. All of a Gigantamax Pokémon's moves of a certain type turn into G-Max Moves instead of their corresponding [[Max Move]]. Outside of G-Max Moves, Gigantamax is functionally identical to Dynamax; Pokémon's HP increases according to its Dynamax Level, while all other stats and its [[Ability]] remain the same. | |||
The Gigantamax Factor cannot be copied using {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}. Even if a Pokémon transforms into a Pokémon that has the Gigantamax Factor, it can still only [[Dynamax]] to its standard form. | |||
In the [[Pokédex]], Gigantamax forms are all listed with [[List of Pokémon by height|heights]] ending in a plus, suggesting that the recorded height is only a minimal estimate, and [[List of Pokémon by weight|weights]] of "???", suggesting that their weights are immeasurable. A Gigantamax Pokémon must be used in battle in order to register the Gigantamax entry in the player's Pokédex; this is in contrast to other [[form]] differences, whereby the form difference only has to be seen in order to register the entry as long as at least one of the other forms of the Pokémon is registered as owned. | |||
==In the spin-off games== | |||
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]=== | |||
{{main|Dynamax#Pokémon Masters EX}} | |||
Certain sync pairs are capable of Gigantamaxing, including some Trainers that do not have Dynamax Bands in the core series. All attacking Max Moves have 400-540 power and can only be used once per battle. | |||

==In the TCG== | |||
Gigantamax is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{VMAX}}. It was added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion (the {{TCG|Sword}} and {{TCG|Shield}} sets in Japan). | |||
Released along with the first Pokémon V cards, '''Pokémon VMAX''' introduce the [[Dynamax]] and Gigantamax mechanics into the Trading Card Game. Pokémon VMAX [[Evolution#In the TCG|evolve]] from their respective Pokémon V, giving them boosted {{TCG|Hit Points}} (so far, the largest HP value on a Pokémon card) and more powerful {{TCG|attack}}s. When a Pokémon VMAX is knocked out, the opponent takes three [[Prize card]]s instead of one. | |||
All released Pokémon VMAX have one or two attacks, and sometimes an {{TCG|Ability}}. One of those attacks is a [[G-Max Move]], which have no additional rules but always start with the phrase "G-Max". While keeping the same layout of Pokémon V, Pokémon VMAX cards have a rainbow background and details on the card's bottom, as well its illustration also fading into the top-most area and having the visual aura of Gigantamaxing on the Pokémon. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
* There is at least one Gigantamax form and [[G-Max Move]] of every [[type]]. This was the case even before the release of the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]]. | |||
* The {{type|Water}} has the most Pokémon with Gigantamax forms out of any type, with six. | |||
* Almost all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who can Gigantamax are from either [[Generation I]] or [[Generation VIII]]. The only exceptions to this are {{p|Garbodor}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, who are from [[Generation V|Generations V]] and {{gen|VII}}, respectively. | |||
** All fully-evolved {{type|Fire}} Pokémon species introduced in Generation VIII have a Gigantamax form. | |||
* The fully-evolved [[Kanto]] [[first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Gigantamax and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. | |||
* {{p|Meowth}} is the only Pokémon to have both a Gigantamax form and a [[regional form]]. | |||
* {{p|Urshifu}} is the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] that has a Gigantamax form. | |||
* {{p|Melmetal}} is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] that has a Gigantamax form. | |||
** Additionally, it is the only [[gender unknown]] Pokémon that has a Gigantamax form. | |||
* Of the Pokémon that can Gigantamax that have multiple [[form]]s: | |||
** {{p|Urshifu}} is the only Pokémon whose multiple forms result in multiple Gigantamax forms. | |||
** {{p|Toxtricity}} and {{p|Alcremie}} each share their Gigantamax form among all of their alternate forms. | |||
** {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Pikachu}} can only Gigantamax in one of their available forms. | |||
* {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}} are the only distinct Pokémon who share a Gigantamax form, although their G-Max Moves and [[cry|cries]] are different. | |||
* {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Eevee}} are the only non-fully-evolved Pokémon that can Gigantamax. Retroactively, {{p|Duraludon}} also fits in this category as of [[Generation IX]] (due to the addition of {{p|Archaludon}}). | |||
** Pikachu is also the only non-fully-evolved Pokémon that can Gigantamax that has evolved once from another Pokémon ({{p|Pichu}}). | |||
** As such, Duraludon is the only non-fully-evolved Pokémon that can Gigantamax outside of [[Gen I]]. | |||

In the core series games
Like other Dynamaxing, Gigantamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically and its HP in battle. Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax, and when they do, their appearance changes significantly, unlike regular Dynamaxing. As revealed by Professor Magnolia, the Pokémon distorts space to change its size while affecting the world around them while altering their appearance drastically.[1]
There are 32 species of Pokémon that are capable of Gigantamaxing, and there are 32 different Gigantamax forms; Flapple and Appletun share a Gigantamax form, and Urshifu has two Gigantamax forms depending on its form (though Alcremie and Toxtricity have one Gigantamax form regardless of their form).
A Pokémon under the effects of Gigantamax are distinguished by having "Gigantamax" in front of their species name e.g. "Gigantamax Hatterene". The process itself can describe the Pokémon as having "Gigantamaxed" in past-tense, or will "Gigantamax" in future-tense. Pokémon actively undergoing Gigantamax are described as "Gigantamaxing". However, the terminology used for Dynamaxing can also be used for Gigantamax.
History
Gigantamax, as a type of Dynamax, originated from Eternatus, who provides the Galar region with Power Spots where Dynamax can be triggered. The Galar particles left by Eternatus affected the Pokémon living in Galar, giving a few of them the Gigantamax Factor needed for transformation. These Pokémon may only be found in Pokémon Dens. As a type of Dynamax, a Wishing Star and Dynamax Band are required to use the Gigantamax transformation.
Rose implemented Dynamax and Gigantamax in Gym battles.[2]
At some point, another method of obtaining the Gigantamax Factor was accidentally discovered by Honey while developing the Max Soup out of Max Mushrooms.
Although Dynamax and Gigantamax are only known to occur in the Galar region, Melmetal's Gigantamax form is a legend in a land distant from Galar.
Gigantamax Factor
Even within species that are capable of Gigantamaxing, only certain individuals can Gigantamax. Pokémon that can Gigantamax are said to have the Gigantamax Factor.[3] Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor can be seen having the symbol next to their name on the summary screen.
When a Pokémon Dynamaxes, if it has the Gigantamax Factor and is of a species that has a Gigantamax form (Japanese: キョダイマックスのすがた), it will turn into its Gigantamax form. If it does not have the Gigantamax Factor it will simply Dynamax as normal; if it has the Gigantamax Factor but does not have its own Gigantamax form (e.g. because it evolves into a Pokémon that does), it will also Dynamax as normal.
Unlike others of their species, Pikachu, Meowth, and Eevee with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve. They are also blocked from transfer to games other than Pokémon Sword and Shield to prevent them from evolving in other games.
Acquisition
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, wild Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor can only be caught in Max Raid Battles, but have a rare encounter rate and typically a lower catch rate. If the wild Pokémon that has a Gigantamax Form has the Gigantamax Factor, it will appear in its Gigantamax form in the Max Raid Battle. Pokémon encountered in Max Raid Battles that do not have a Gigantamax form will not have the Gigantamax Factor, with the exception of certain Wild Area News Max Raid Battles.
Some Pokémon can only have the Gigantamax Factor in Max Raid Battles exclusive to limited-time Wild Area News. In addition, Machamp and Coalossal with the Gigantamax Factor are exclusive to Pokémon Sword, and Gengar and Lapras with the Gigantamax Factor are exclusive to Pokémon Shield. Players with the opposite game may still join Max Raid Battles or use Max Soup to obtain these forms.
Pikachu, Eevee, and Kanto first partner Pokémon can be obtained with the Gigantamax Factor as gift Pokémon. Meowth with the Gigantamax Factor was first distributed via Mystery Gift. Melmetal with the Gigantamax Factor can only be obtained via Mystery Gift in Pokémon HOME.
Bred Pokémon cannot inherit the Gigantamax Factor. The Kanto first partner Pokémon, their secondary evolved forms, Milcery, and Hattrem are the only Pokémon without a Gigantamax form that can have the Gigantamax Factor; Kanto first partner Pokémon as a gift Pokémon, their secondary evolved forms by evolving them, and Milcery and Hattrem from Wild Area News-exclusive Max Raid Battles.
By drinking Max Soup, introduced in The Isle of Armor expansion, certain Pokémon which were previously incapable of Gigantamaxing can gain the Gigantamax Factor. All Pokémon with Gigantamax forms, with the exception of Melmetal, can drink Max Soup to gain the Gigantamax Factor. If a Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor drinks Max Soup, it will lose its Gigantamax Factor. Three bundles of Max Mushrooms are required to make the Max Soup. Adding the Gigantamax Factor to Urshifu or removing it from Urshifu also requires Max Honey in addition to the Max Mushrooms.
Effects
In its Gigantamax form, a Pokémon can use a G-Max Move. Each G-Max Move is exclusive to a specific species of Gigantamax Pokémon. All of a Gigantamax Pokémon's moves of a certain type turn into G-Max Moves instead of their corresponding Max Move. Outside of G-Max Moves, Gigantamax is functionally identical to Dynamax; Pokémon's HP increases according to its Dynamax Level, while all other stats and its Ability remain the same.
The Gigantamax Factor cannot be copied using Transform or Imposter. Even if a Pokémon transforms into a Pokémon that has the Gigantamax Factor, it can still only Dynamax to its standard form.
In the Pokédex, Gigantamax forms are all listed with heights ending in a plus, suggesting that the recorded height is only a minimal estimate, and weights of "???", suggesting that their weights are immeasurable. A Gigantamax Pokémon must be used in battle in order to register the Gigantamax entry in the player's Pokédex; this is in contrast to other form differences, whereby the form difference only has to be seen in order to register the entry as long as at least one of the other forms of the Pokémon is registered as owned.

In the TCG
Gigantamax is featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game as . It was added as a new mechanic to the game in the Sword & Shield expansion (the Sword and Shield sets in Japan).
Released along with the first Pokémon V cards, Pokémon VMAX introduce the Dynamax and Gigantamax mechanics into the Trading Card Game. Pokémon VMAX evolve from their respective Pokémon V, giving them boosted Hit Points (so far, the largest HP value on a Pokémon card) and more powerful attacks. When a Pokémon VMAX is knocked out, the opponent takes three Prize cards instead of one.
All released Pokémon VMAX have one or two attacks, and sometimes an Ability. One of those attacks is a G-Max Move, which have no additional rules but always start with the phrase "G-Max". While keeping the same layout of Pokémon V, Pokémon VMAX cards have a rainbow background and details on the card's bottom, as well its illustration also fading into the top-most area and having the visual aura of Gigantamaxing on the Pokémon.

Some Pokémon also change appearance upon Dynamaxing. This particular kind of Dynamaxing is also known as Gigantamaxing. (Pokémon Sword and Shield)
