The Pokemon Company has announced that Gigantamax Toxtricity will appear in Max Raid Battles from Thursday, Feb. 6, at 4 p.m. PST until Sunday, March 8, at 5 p.m. PDT in Pokemon Sword Sword and Pokemon Shield.
The Amped Form Toxtricity will be available for Pokemon Sword players and the Low Key Form Toxtricity will be in Pokemon Shield. You’ll still be able to challenge the other form that you don’t have access to if you join a Max Raid Battle hosted by someone playing the other version of the game.
Some information and stats have also been revealed by The Pokemon Company concerning the Gigantamax form of Toxtricity. Like for example, its typing is Electric/Poison, its height is 78’9″, weight is unknown, and its ability is Punk Rock/ Plus / Minus/. Also, any Electric-type moves used by Gigantamax Toxtricity will change to G-Max Stun Shock, which not only deals damage but also poisons or paralyzes opposing Pokemon.
The English YouTube channel for The Pokemon Company has yet to release a separate version of the trailer but you can watch the Japanese version of the trailer down below and you can also check out some cool screenshots down below from the press release that shows Toxtricity in action:
Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are now available for the Nintendo Switch and a massive two-part expansion pass is coming this year that includes new Pokemon, new areas, and much more.
