Pokémon GO Replay: GO Bigger Event Apr 25

Pokémon GO is bringing back its three-hour Replay: GO Bigger event on Saturday, April 25, with Gigantamax Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise and Gengar returning to Max Battles. (pokemongohub.net) The event runs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time, so players in League City and every other time zone get the same afternoon window on their own clocks. (pokemongohub.net) All Power Spots are scheduled to host Gigantamax Battles during the event, and Pokémon GO Hub and Leek Duck both list faster Power Spot refreshes, extra active Power Spots and an increased Max Particle cap of 1,600. (pokemongohub.net) (leekduck.com) The same guides say players can earn 8× Max Particles from Power Spots, plus 2× Max Particles from exploring and quarter-distance requirements for collecting them on April 25. (leekduck.com) (pogoportal.com) Gigantamax Battles are Pokémon GO’s oversized boss fights at Power Spots, built around Dynamax and Gigantamax mechanics rather than standard Gym raids. Leek Duck says these four Kanto Gigantamax forms will appear in six-star Max Battles. (leekduck.com) The event is also built around in-person play. Leek Duck says Campfire tools and the RSVP planner can help players find groups, while Pokémon GO’s official 2022 raid update said the game was shifting more bonuses and social features toward local raiding. (leekduck.com) (pokemongolive.com) A paid ticket priced at $4.99 unlocks event Timed Research, with rewards listed as one Max Mushroom, 25,000 experience points and 6,400 Max Particles. The ticket also adds a 2× experience bonus from Max Battles during the 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. event window. (pokemongohub.net) (leekduck.com) Players can buy and gift that ticket only to friends at Great Friends level or higher, and Leek Duck says the ticket stays in the in-game shop until 5 p.m. local time on April 25. (leekduck.com) There is one remote-play concession: event listings say the daily Remote Raid limit will rise from 10 to 20 from April 24 at 5 p.m. Pacific time to April 25 at 8 p.m. Pacific time. The Gigantamax fights themselves are still framed as local meetups at Power Spots, so the busiest parks and downtown clusters are likely to matter most. (pokemongohub.net) (leekduck.com) For players who missed these bosses the first time, April 25 is a short second window: three hours, four Gigantamax Kanto headliners, and a playbook built around showing up in person with a group.
