Replay: GO Bigger Pokémon GO Event

Pokémon GO is bringing four Gigantamax bosses back for a three-hour raid-style event on Saturday, April 25, 2026. (pokemongohub.net) The event runs from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, and the returning lineup is Gigantamax Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, and Gengar. Those encounters appear in Max Battles at Power Spots rather than standard gym raids. (dexerto.com) Gigantamax Pokémon are the oversized forms borrowed from the main-series games’ Dynamax system, and in Pokémon GO they show up in Max Battles built around Max Particles instead of raid passes alone. Niantic’s earlier GO Bigger rollout said these bosses typically require coordinated groups of 10 to 40 trainers to beat. (pokemongolive.com) This replay keeps the same battle format but gives players another shot at bosses that were previously limited-time targets. Pokémon GO Hub and other event trackers list all four as returning featured encounters for April 25. (pokemongohub.net) The event bonuses are built around getting more Max Battles done in a short window. The Click reports an increased Max Particle storage cap of 1,600, more frequent Power Spot refreshes, extra active Power Spots, and 8× Max Particles from Power Spots during the event. (theclick.gg) Some bonuses start earlier than the main battle window. The Click says that from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time on April 25, players get 2× Max Particles from exploring and need one-quarter of the usual walking distance to earn them. (theclick.gg) Trading and remote play also get a temporary lift. Event guides from The Click and Dexerto say players can make up to three Special Trades, and the Remote Raid limit rises to 20 from April 24 to April 25. (theclick.gg) (dexerto.com) For players who skipped the first run, the practical goal is simple: stockpile Max Particles before 2:00 p.m., then move between Power Spots with a group large enough to clear six-star Max Battles quickly. By 5:00 p.m. local time, the replay window closes. (theclick.gg)
