A new Gigantamax Pokemon has been discovered inPokemon SwordandPokemon Shield. Toxtricity, the Punk Pokemon added inPokemon SwordandShield, is receiving a gigantic evolution for players to pursue and catch. Game Freak is bringing Gigantamax Toxtricity toPokemon SwordandShield’s Max Raid Battles starting tomorrow, February 6. Players will have to act fast, however, as Gigantamax Toxtricity will only be available for a limited time.
Toxtricity fans might be questioning just how a Gigantamax form of the Pokemon will work. After all, Toxtricity has two different forms. Depending on its nature, Toxel can evolve into eitherAmped Form Toxtricity or Low Key Form Toxtricity. These forms will be included in Toxtricity’s Gigantamax evolution, too.Pokemon Swordusers will have access to Amped Form Gigantamax Toxtricity andPokemon Shieldplayers will have access to Low Key Form Gigantamax Toxtricity. Players can have a chance at both by joining other players' Max Raid Battles.

The Pokemon Company andGame Freakhave provided some early information about Toxtricity so that players can decide whether they want to look for the Pokemon. It remains an Electric/Poison Pokemon and will come with the abilities Punk Rock, and Plus or Minus. Its Gigantamax Electric-type abilities will all become G-Max Stun Shock. This ability not only does massive Electric-type damage, but can also poison or paralyze all oof Toxtricity’s opponents.
Toxtricity will be available as aGigantamax Max Raid Battlefor just a limited time, much like previous Gigantamax offerings. Players will be able to update their Wild Area news via the Mystery Gift menu tomorrow, February 6, at 4:00 pm PT to start encountering Toxtricity via Max Raid Battles. Toxtricity will then remain available via Max Raid Battles through March 8 at 5:00 pm PT. That’s just one month forPokemon SwordandShieldplayers to earn their Toxtricity.
Toxtricity is just the latest Wild Area event coming toPokemon SwordandShield. It will be replacing another event that is ending today, February 6.
