Pokémon GO Replay — GO Bigger Event

Pokémon GO is running a three-hour Replay: GO Bigger event on Saturday, April 25, with Gigantamax Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, and Gengar back in Max Battles from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time. (pokemongohub.net) Pokémon GO Hub’s April 20-26 event roundup lists the same Saturday window and says the four Gigantamax Kanto bosses will return during that period. The event runs on local time, so players in Norwalk will see it start at 2 p.m. in their own time zone. (pokemongohub.net) Gigantamax battles are Pokémon GO’s large-group raid format tied to Max Battles, which appear at Power Spots instead of standard Gyms. Niantic’s official Gigantamax explainer said reports indicated groups of 10 to 40 trainers were needed to beat these bosses. (pokemongolive.com) That group size is why local meetups matter more here than in a routine five-star raid. A player who can clear ordinary raids with a few friends often needs a much larger in-person crowd for Gigantamax bosses. (pokemongolive.com) The April 25 replay gives players another shot at four monsters that Pokémon GO has already treated as headline Max Battle targets. Gigantamax Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise were part of the game’s first GO Bigger push, and Gigantamax Gengar later joined the same battle system. (pokemongolive.com, pokemongolive.com) For Norwalk players, the practical move is to plan around parks and other spots with enough foot traffic to fill a lobby before the three-hour window closes. Pokémon GO Hub’s local guide points players to current event details, raid counters, and the broader weekly schedule before Saturday’s start. (pokemongohub.net) By 5 p.m. local time, the replay window closes, and the advantage shifts back to whoever arrived with enough trainers, enough Max Battle prep, and a route that linked multiple Power Spots in one afternoon.
