Pokemon Go players convinced Gigantamax update coming soon after secret Pokedex change

The highly popular Gigantamax (G-Max) feature from Generation 8 has been leaked for Pokemon Go, leading players to believe that its arrival in the game will be sooner than anticipated.

The highly-anticipated addition was hinted at in version 0.319.0, as this update introduced something that had not been seen in the game for four years. This seemed to suggest the possibility of G-Max Pokemon forms.

The Silph Road subreddit user known as ‘Aggressive_Plate_849′ posted an image of a Mega Gengar with the caption: “Mega Indicator Moved in v0.319.0 – Prep for Dynamax/Gigantamax?”

The post sparked a wave of comments from trainers eagerly anticipating any updates on Pokemon from the Galar region. However, they were pleasantly surprised to learn that Gigantamax would also be included.

Fans eagerly expressed their anticipation, stating that they are “extremely hopeful”for the arrival of this highly anticipated feature in the game as soon as possible. When someone inquired about the specifics of Gigantmax, another enthusiast chimed in with a comprehensive explanation.

Dynamax is a temporary enhancement that enlarges your Pokemon. One effect is a substantial increase in their health, while the other grants them unique additional abilities. The concept of Dynamax was initially inspired by raid bosses in Pokemon Go.

Please remember that both Gigantamax and Dynamax share the same game mechanics, with the only difference being that G-Max Pokemon also undergo a visual transformation.

According to the player, Niantic is gradually catching up to TPC (The Pokemon Company) by introducing new Pokemon, and they require all the content they can get. They also mentioned that the addition of 32 G-Max forms would assist the developers in providing content for an extended period of time.

Recently uncovered data has revealed details about ‘stations’ inspired by Galar Gyms. These locations will serve as hubs for Gigantamax activity.

The introduction of the Gen 8 gimmick is likely to include some elements from the Galar region, such as the anticipated “shiny debuts”of Zacian, Zamazenta, and possibly Wooloo. It is also expected that starters and Rookidee will be found in the wild, with a standalone being exclusive to 3-star raids and a family being available through hatching eggs.
