As a seasoned Pokemon GO player with over a decade of pocket monster adventures under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming Dual Destiny season is shaping up to be one for the history books! The prospect of battling Gigantamax Lapras, alongside the return of fan-favorites like Necrozma and Hoopa, has me buzzing with excitement.


In a recent development, Pokemon GO has declared the launch of Gigantamax Lapras during an upcoming event on December 8th. This exciting news follows the reveal of Dual Destiny season, the seventeenth season of Pokemon GO, which is set to commence soon.

Following a lot of excitement among players, the game Pokemon GO has incorporated Dynamax forms during the Max Out Season. This expansion allows Kanto and Galar starters and their evolutions to undergo Dynamax transformations, along with other creatures like Greedent and Falinks. Shortly afterwards, Niantic introduced Gigantamax Pokemon, providing new appearances to Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard, Gengar, Toxtricity, and more. Now, with the announcement of a fresh event, the roster of Gigantamax creatures accessible in Pokemon GO is set to expand.

On December 8th from 2-5 pm local time, the giant form of Lapras, known as Gigantamax Lapras, is set to make its entry in Pokemon GO during Max Battle Day. During this event, Kanto Pokemon will appear in six-star Max Raids, and trainers have a chance to discover a Shiny one. Bonuses for the occasion include an increased limit on Max Particle collection to 1600, more frequent refreshes of Power Spots, which will also host Gigantamax Battles. Furthermore, Power Spots will yield eight times more Max Particles, and trainers will receive double particles while exploring, requiring only a quarter of the usual distance for particle acquisition.

Gigantamax Lapras Debuting in Upcoming Pokemon GO Event

For the first time ever on Max Battle Day in Pokemon GO, Max Mushrooms will be introduced. These mushrooms will temporarily enhance the power of Quick Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Max Move attacks from Dynamax and Gigantamax creatures during Max Battles. The enhanced attacks will deal double damage, but using more mushrooms won’t increase the damage; instead, it will extend the duration of the effect.

Starting December 3, Pokemon GO enthusiasts have much to anticipate in the forthcoming months as the Dual Destiny season officially begins. This season will bring back Necrozma and its fusions, along with Hoopa, plus newcomers like Sinistea and Polteageist. Additionally, Dynamax Machop and Dynamax Krabby will be added to the game at a later time, hinting at the introduction of fresh Dynamax and Gigantamax forms during the season.
