As part of Pokémon Go Fest: Max Finale, the free mobile game is adding 100-player lobbies to Gigantamax raids. The more people take part in a lobby, the higher your chance of success in the raid, so get your planners out and start recruiting all of your Pokémon Go friends.
Gigantamax Pokémon, first seen in the Galar region, are taking over Pokémon Go this weekend alongside the terrifying Eternamax Eternatus as part of the Max Finale event, the epic conclusion of this year’s Pokémon Go Fest celebrations. The Pokémon Go team has announced that, for the first time, starting this weekend, up to 100 trainers can join in on a Max Battle. To prevent things from getting too hectic on your phone screen, you’ll be split into groups of four or fewer for the actual battle, but just know that dozens more trainers are helping you to win.
Although you can take on its Eternamax form in Max Battles, you can still only catch the one Eternatus from encounters during Pokémon Go’s Dark Skies event and Go Pass: Max Finale. It’s still worth taking on these challenging raids, though, as the more Eternatus candy you get, the more you can power up the dragon Pokémon’s Dynamax Cannon adventure effect. This boosts all of your Pokémon’s Max Moves by one level, which is very handy if you’re planning to take on all the other raids across the weekend.
