Gigantamax Snorlax Rolls Into Pokémon Sword And Shield Raid Battles Next Week

Hah !
Snorlax is weak against Fighting type moves.
I will give the Snorlax some WATAAAA..! from my Fighting type Pokemons (Sawk / Sirfetch'd).

I have yet to run into a Gigantamax raid, but the Dunamax are pretty disappointing. It’s harder to catch some regular roaming mons than them.

Just give me my sweet gigantamax Toxtricity instead!

I love the fact that the food Snorlax has left on itself transformed into a freaking forest xD

I hope we eventually see new Gigantimax forms added to the game over time. Especially for Bulbasoar and Squirtles, since.......you know......Charmander

Mr. Gigantamax Snorlax: I hereby invite you to join my Trick Room Team, I hope you accept the offer.

So confusing. Like what is with the forest. When I first saw the video I was like wtf where's his head?? I too agree that I'd love for them to add more, maybe DLC.

He has a berry tree growing on his belly.

That's why you don't eat the seeds!

I still don't understand where to find Gigantamax Pokemon. I go to those glowing pads looking for the Butterfree that's around right now and I never find it. I always find Pokemon I already have. Are the glowing pads the wrong place to look? Is there a way to attract the actual Gigantamax Pokemon instead of just regular Dynamax ones? And is there a way for GameFreak to stop using these ridiculous naming conventions? LOL. Ok that last question was not a real one, but I'm legit trying to figure out where to find these Mons because they never show up in my game.

Raid Battles hm? Didn't they take that from Pokémon Go originally, or are they just new versions in this game?

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

@DarthFoxMcCloud just keep trying, or join someone else's raid that features said Pokemon.

@DarthFoxMcCloud those are the right spots, they’re RNG and fairly rare. And you need to defeat all the raids in the Wild Area to spawn more raids, which you usually have to do for awhile until you see a Gigantimax pokemon. It’s meant to be a grind. I’d say, when I sit down to do raids, I tend to find 1 Gigantimax for every 20-30 raids I do? They’re not supposed to be quick or easy to get.

@patbacknitro18 um, I can’t tell if that’s a joke or if you’re serious...

@SmaggTheSmug the 4 or 5 star raids get pretty tricky, they take some strategy (usually the NPCs are too stupid for that, best to play with other humans) and and you have a decent chance of failing the capture (and you only get one throw). Generally you need to grind through a bunch of regular raids to find a gigantamax though, and I’ve failed more of those captures than I’ve succeeded (and I use ultra balls).

...Isn't Gigantamax Snorlax only available through this event so far, unlike Butterfree? Why does this article say 'more frequently' throughout?

@ChibiNinja you can get any Gigantamax right now, but they are very rare. These events just increase the odds, but one can go and capture them right now, especially with the exploit that lets you manipulate the den type and the spawn.

@Gridatttack You can't get all gigantamax pokemon currently. Toxtricity, Melmetal and Snorlax have been unavailable. These events are increasing the odds from 0 lmao

@DaCh33f ah, interesting. Wasn't aware of that. I do recall seeing on a guide Snorlax, but indeed, I never saw Toxtricity in any of them.

The worst case of belly button lint, ever.

Is that wispy woods on his stomach?
