Pokémon Sword & Shield give players opportunity to catch limited Gigantamax Forms

The Wild Area regularly features rotating raid spawns in Pokémon Sword & Shield, but players may want to take note of the latest event. Formerly exclusive to those who had save file from Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!, Gigantamax Pikachu (and its shiny form) can be encountered and captured, but only for a limited time. Similarly, Gigantamax Eevee will be featured soon after, as well as Gigantamax Meowth. These are not obtainable through regular gameplay, so players who haven’t added them to their collection should take advantage of this opportunity.

From the official Pokémon website, the schedule will be as follows:

  • Gigantamax Pikachu: May 11, 2020 – May 18, 2020
  • Gigantamax Eevee: May 18, 2020 – May 25, 2020
  • Gigantamax Meowth: May 25, 2020 – June 2, 2020

Let us know if you’ve already captured a shiny Gigantamax Pikachu! Which of the three is your favorite? I can’t help but be a fan of Gigantamax Eevee myself.

  1. Since very little has been happening in the genuinely interesting news department, I’m just gonna ask y’all if anyone has seen/heard any fun rumors that could potentially be true. Please, please don’t respond with obvious fakes that contradict known facts.

  3. Got a legal Shiny Big CHUngus, I am more interesed in the Eevee one because I already had Let’s Go Pikachu so I already could get as many Big CHUngus as I wanted.

  4. I think my days of trying to have a rotation of 11 pokemon are coming to a close. Right now im thinking my final Black 2 team since im headed to face Drayden now is going to be:

    Serperior
    Cofagrigus
    Excadrill
    Magmar
    Crustle
    Scrafty

    with Sigliyph, Emolga and possibly Fraxure getting swapped in whenever needed.. which btw WHY DOES FRAXURE HAVE SUCH CRAPTASTIC DEFENSES
