Gigantamax Pikachu is large and in charge, and it’s taking over six-star Max Battles during Pokémon GO’s next Max Battle Day event on Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. Gather your fellow Trainers to topple Gigantamax Pikachu as it wreaks electric havoc at Power Spots for its Pokémon GO debut. Like in the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games, Gigantamax Pikachu doesn’t evolve in Pokémon GO. If you’re lucky, you might even find a Shiny one!

Don’t get too distracted by Gigantamax Pikachu’s impressive stature—as you attempt to add this absolute unit of a Pokémon to your Gigantamax roster, you’ll be able to enjoy a variety of event bonuses to make your quest that much easier.
Ground- and Steel-type Dynamax Excadrill and Grass- and Poison-type Gigantamax Venusaur are strong choices for supereffective damage and putting up shields with Max Guard. Teamwork makes the dream work, though, so if you want to support Trainers bringing in those Pokémon, Dynamax Blissey is especially helpful, with its high HP and powerful HP-restoring Max Spirit.
