Pokémon Sword and Shield makes Snorlax Gigamax official: date and details

The creature has not only grown to unsuspected limits, but its gut is the resting place of a natural park.

A good nod. That is what many Snorlax, the well-known Pokémon that debuted in the original videogame of the franchise, are looking for and will now appear in its most enormous form. One of the novelties of Pokémon Sword and Shield is the Gigamax transformation, which gives the creatures not only an imposing aspect, but also other peculiarities. Players will have the opportunity to seize it between December 4 and January 2020. But how can it be achieved?

The Pokémon Company has explained that we can find it in the Wild Area during the dates indicated above. Next, we must fight in a raid to get hold of it. Unlike other members of its kind, this version has something on the outside of its stomach, nothing more and nothing less than a huge natural park, Torterra. Apparently, the seeds and stones that had become entangled in the hair of his gut have grown enormously, to the point of forming a tree in the middle of his belly.

Snorlax Gigamax in battle

According to the developers, this Gigamax Pokémon is more vague than usual and hardly moves. If he is immersed in combat, he will incorporate himself in a very vague way and attack by shaking arms and legs. Some unsuspecting people will think that combat is not taken with the seriousness required, but their blows are not very effective. "In fact, Snorlax Gigamax is thought to be one of the strongest Dinamax Pokémon ever discovered."

As for their powers, Normal-type movements will now become Gigarrecycling, which hits the targets, but also returns the berries that the Pokémon's allies have consumed during combat.

Pokémon Sword and Shield are available exclusively for Nintendo Switch since November 15. The game has been a success.
