Expansion Pass Gigantamax Forms
For the first time ever, Pokémon Sword & Shield is getting downloadable content and, within this, there are to be various brand new Gigantamax Forms. This page is to detail everything about these new Pokémon until they are released in the game
Venusaur |
|
English Name: Venusaur Type: Grass/Poison-type Details: The flower on the Pokémon’s back spews so much pollen that it resembles a volcanic eruption. Inhaling the pollen can cause uncontrollable sneezing, and breathing in too much of it can even cause fainting. However, the pollen also stimulates plant growth. Places where the pollen falls are said to grow thick with large plants. |
|
Blastoise |
|
English Name: Blastoise Type: Water-type Details: The main cannon on the center of Blastoise's shell is staggeringly powerful. Legend says this cannon has blasted holes into mountains. Gigantamax Blastoise can also move the 12 large cannons surrounding its central cannon independently, letting it orient its attacks in any direction, whether toward the ground or the sky. |

Rillaboom |
|
English Name: Rillaboom Type: Grass-type Details: Rillaboom's tree-stump drum has grown rapidly—to the point that it now resembles a small forest on its own. Gigantamax Rillaboom has merged with this forest of drums and become even more powerful. It can control its sticks as if they were its own limbs and will demonstrate transcendental drumming techniques. Gigantamax Rillaboom will focus completely on playing its drums, compelled by the power welling up inside it. The sound can reach across oceans and be heard by those living in other regions. It's said that those who hear the beat will begin to dance uncontrollably, overwhelmed by a rhythm that surges from inside them. Its G-Max Move is G-Max Drum Solo which does more damage and ignores the opponent's ability. |

Cinderace |
|
English Name: Cinderace Type: Fire-type Details: The burning ball at Cinderace's feet has grown to massive proportions thanks to Gigantamax energy. If Gigantamax Cinderace kicks the ball using its well-honed techniques, its fighting spirit will possess the ball and cause the ball to pursue opponents as if it had a mind of its own. Gigantamax Cinderace boasts incredible leg strength–in fact, its legs are said to rank among the strongest of all Pokémon. Even without its gigantic Pyro Ball, it can deliver powerful kicking moves that overwhelm other Dynamax Pokémon. Its G-Max Move is G-Max Fireball which does more damage and ignores the opponent's ability. |
|
Inteleon |
|
English Name: Inteleon Type: Water-type Details: Inteleon has gained an extremely long tail thanks to Gigantamaxing. The tail's length is said to be over 130 feet. While Gigantamaxed, Inteleon will stretch its long tail out and hold it straight to form a pillar, and Inteleon will take up a battle position at the top. This Pokémon has an incredibly sharp mind and calculates the precise effects that gravity will have on the trajectory of its shots, enabling it to be an extremely effective sniper. Inteleon has many hidden tools within its body, and these have also been enhanced due to its Gigantamaxing. The nictitating membranes on its eyes not only allow it to measure the distance to the target—they now let Inteleon detect temperature, air pressure, and even humidity. Inteleon is a skilled sniper as well—easily hitting a Berry that's rolling around over nine miles away. Its G-Max Move is G-Max Hydrosnipe which does more damage and ignores the opponent's ability. |

Urshifu Single Strike |
|
English Name: Urshifu Single Strike Type: Fighting/Dark-type Details: Single Strike Style Urshifu and Rapid Strike Style Urshifu also have Gigantamax forms. Gigantamax Single Strike Style Urshifu looks ready to bellow in fury. People call it both "the very embodiment of rage" and "a divine emissary that banishes evil spirits with its fury. |
|
Urshifu Rapid Strike |
|
English Name: Urshifu Rapid Strike Type: Fighting/Water-type Details: Gigantamax Rapid Strike Style Urshifu will quietly maintain its stance with a calm expression. When facing this Pokémon, it seems some will become greatly agitated, feeling as if the very depths of their soul have been exposed. Yet others report feeling a sense of relief, as if they’d been cleansed of evil spirits. |
