<\/p>\n

The Pok\u00e9mon Company International and Nintendo today revealed the Gigantamax forms of Pikachu, Charizard, Eevee, Meowth, and Butterfree. Gigantamaxing changes a Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s size, power, and appearance and allows them to use a G-Max Move. Only certain species of Pok\u00e9mon can Gigantamax – and even among such species, only rare specimens will be able to. Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon will appear in the highly anticipated upcoming video games Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Pok\u00e9mon Shield, launching on November 15, 2019, exclusively on Nintendo Switch systems. <\/p>\n

Gigantamax Pikachu<\/p>\n

Type: Electric<\/p>\n

Height: 68’11″+<\/p>\n

Weight: ???<\/p>\n

Ability: Static<\/p>\n

The electricity generated in the sacs in its cheeks is stored in its tail. In battle, it will strike opponents with its tail and send a jolt of electricity through them as great as any lightning strike. Gigantamax Pikachu has become so powerful that it can produce enough electricity to rival a power plant. However, using this electricity to help power people\u2019s homes seems difficult, as Pikachu can only remain Gigantamaxed for a short time. Electric-type attacks used by Gigantamax Pikachu will change to G-Max Volt Crash, which not only deals damage but also paralyzes all opponents.<\/p>\n

Trainers that have play records from Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu! on their Nintendo Switch system will be able to receive a special Pikachu that can Gigantamax in Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Pok\u00e9mon Shield.<\/p>\n

Gigantamax Charizard<\/p>\n

Type: Fire\/Flying<\/p>\n

Height: 91’10″+<\/p>\n

Weight: ???<\/p>\n

Ability: Blaze<\/p>\n

The flames inside its body have become stronger, and now fire erupts from its mouth and horns in addition to its tail. It seems that the strength of the flames increases when Gigantamax Charizard roars. Charizard\u2019s flames have become enhanced with Gigantamax power and now form wings on its back. These wings are hotter than magma, and Charizard can fire them off to scorch its opponents. Fire-type attacks used by Gigantamax Charizard will change to G-Max Wildfire. G-Max Wildfire doesn\u2019t just deal damage to an opponent when it hits\u2014it will also continue to deal damage for four turns to any Pok\u00e9mon that isn\u2019t Fire type.<\/p>\n

Gigantamax Eevee<\/p>\n

Type: Normal<\/p>\n

Height: 59’1″+<\/p>\n

Weight: ???<\/p>\n

Ability: Run Away \/ Adaptability<\/p>\n

The fur around its neck has become extra fluffy and luxurious thanks to Gigantamax power. Any opponent caught in this fur becomes enamored with Eevee and loses the will to fight. Gigantamaxing has caused Eevee to become more rambunctious than ever, and it will attempt to play with any opponent. However, it often ends up crushing its opponent due to its massive size. Normal-type attacks used by Gigantamax Eevee will change to G-Max Cuddle. G-Max Cuddle doesn\u2019t only deal damage when it hits\u2014any opponent that is the opposite gender of Eevee will become infatuated.<\/p>\n

Trainers that have play records from Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee! on their Nintendo Switch system will be able to receive a special Eevee that can Gigantamax in Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Pok\u00e9mon Shield.<\/p>\n

Gigantamax Meowth<\/p>\n

Type: Normal<\/p>\n

Height: 108’3″+<\/p>\n

Weight: ???<\/p>\n

Ability: Pickup\/Technician<\/p>\n

Gigantamaxing has caused Meowth\u2019s body to stretch to astounding lengths, and the coin on its head has also become massive. The giant coin can emit a torrent of Gigantamax power, filling the surrounding area with a powerful golden gleam. Meowth loves shiny objects, and when it sees skyscrapers lined with glass, it won\u2019t be able to resist the urge to sharpen its claws on them. This behavior can cause considerable damage, such as wearing down the exterior walls and breaking windows. Normal-type attacks used by Gigantamax Meowth will change to G-Max Gold Rush. G-Max Gold Rush deals damage to opponents and also scatters coins all over the area, giving Trainers a considerable in-game cash bonus after the battle.<\/p>\n

This special Meowth that can Gigantamax can be received as an early-purchase bonus for Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Pok\u00e9mon Shield by selecting the Get via Internet option in Mystery Gift from Friday, November 15, 2019, to Wednesday, January 15, 2020.<\/p>\n

Gigantamax Butterfree<\/p>\n

Type: Bug\/Flying<\/p>\n

Height: 55’9″+<\/p>\n

Weight: ???<\/p>\n

Ability: Compound Eyes<\/p>\n

Its most notable feature is its blinding wings, which have grown to gigantic proportions. The light of Gigantamax Butterfree\u2019s wings comes from its scales, which can inflict paralysis, poisoning, or sleep on its opponents. These scales are Butterfree\u2019s most effective weapons. Its vast wings can stir up a wind strong enough to lift a 10-ton truck, just by flapping. This wind also scatters poisonous scales around the area, so simply being near this Pok\u00e9mon is very dangerous. Bug-type attacks used by Gigantamax Butterfree will change to G-Max Befuddle. G-Max Befuddle doesn\u2019t only deal damage\u2014it will also scatter scales around opponents and cause them to become poisoned, become paralyzed, or fall asleep.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
