Pokémon GO closed out the week of April 20–26 with Replay: GO Bigger, a one-day event that returned four Gigantamax bosses on Saturday, April 25. (pokemongo.com) From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time, Gigantamax Venusaur, Gigantamax Charizard, Gigantamax Blastoise, and Gigantamax Gengar appeared in Max Battles at designated Power Spots. (pokemongo.com) (pokemon.com) Niantic stacked the event with resource bonuses: the Max Particle collection limit rose to 1,600, Power Spots paid out 8× Max Particles, and the daily Remote Raid limit increased from 10 to 20 between April 24 at 5 p.m. PDT and April 25 at 8 p.m. PDT. (pokemongo.com) (pokemon.com) A $4.99 event ticket added Timed Research that paid out one Max Mushroom, 25,000 experience points, and 6,400 Max Particles, plus double experience from Max Battles during the three-hour window. (pokemongo.com) (pokemon.com) That made April 25 the clearest answer to what “Pokémon GO week — April 20–26” actually meant in practice: not a single weeklong headline event, but a handoff from one event cycle to another, capped by a concentrated Gigantamax raid block. (pokemongohub.net 1) (pokemongohub.net 2) Earlier in the week, Sustainability Week was still winding down, and Pokémon GO Hub’s April calendar lists Dynamax Regirock as the Max Battle boss for April 20 through April 26. (pokemongohub.net 1) (pokemongohub.net 2) The same calendar shows the next turn starting fast: Steeled Resolve begins April 28, followed by Steeled Resolve: Taken Over on April 30. (pokemongohub.net) For players opening the app on Sunday, April 26, the Gigantamax window was already over, but the week’s structure was clear: Regirock in Max Battles through the end of the day, then a reset into the next event slate on Monday and Tuesday.
