List of Gigantamax Pokemon and How to Get Them | Pokemon Sword and Shield

This guide contains information and locations of all Gigantamax Pokemon appearing in the games Pokemon Sword and Shield. Read on for information about how to encounter each of these Pokemon in Max Raid Battles.

What are Gigantamax Pokemon?

A Step Up from Dynamax

Gigantamax is a phenomenon in the Galar region wherein Pokemon change into a new, mega-sized form. Their HP is boosted, and their moves turn into powerful Max Moves, shared with Dynamax Pokemon, or G-Max Moves, which are unique to each Gigantamax Pokemon.

Differences between Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon

Gigantamax Pokemon are Rare

Even if a Pokemon species has a Gigantamax Form, not every member of that species can Gigantamax. You'll need to find a Gigantamax Pokemon from a Max Raid Event, by giving your Pokemon Max Soup to unlock its Gigantamax potential.

Where to Find Gigantamax Pokemon

Use Max Soup

In The Isle of Armor DLC, a new feature called Max Soup will allow a Pokemon which previously could only Dynamax to become capable of Gigantamaxing. You'll have to collect three Max Mushrooms around The Isle of Armor to make it.
