“They’re crap,” Gigantamax battles in Pokémon GO angered the community
Niantic announced a few months ago that the phenomenon Gigantamax will reach Pokemon GO. The long-awaited moment has arrived, but instead of giving its users a reason to play, it only caused a sea of anger.
Fighting Dynamax – a mechanic from the main series who debuted with Pokemon Sword and Shield and they already existed in Pokemon GOsince they were added a few months ago. Form Gigantamax (Gigamax) is essentially the same, but only some species have access to it and have the peculiarity of not only enlarging the creature, but also temporarily changing its appearance.

Why are Max or Gigantamax fights so difficult? Pokemon GO?
Fighting Gigantamax or Max Fighting They debuted this weekend, but amid criticism as players report they are extremely difficult. And it’s not a difficulty that is about increasing skill, but rather an unbalanced and unfair difficulty that, instead of being interesting to players, demotivates them.
“These are the biggest problems Pokemon GO until now,” he warned Niantic in promotional material a few days ago detailing what these new Raid battles are exclusive to personal play, so it is not possible to organize or join from home using remote raid passes, and can only create groups from From 10 to 40 playersbut what players didn’t realize was that it was a highly unbalanced mechanic.
Nevertheless, Gigantamax raids are prohibitively high for most players Pokemon GOas these requirements can only be met in densely populated cities, and even then players must agree to have a chance of winning. Apparently Niantic forget it Pokemon GO This is not the same game as it was 2016when it was easy to find people playing in the street.
Messages from players upset by this mechanic”shit“They didn’t have to wait long; In fact,”Gigantamax“has become a trend in Twitter (X) Thanks to the many players who expressed dissatisfaction with the implementation of this new mechanic.

Blastoise was the most difficult and we had to re-lobby 3 times (24 people). Venusaur was also pretty close to 38 people. #PokemonGO #dynamax #PokemonGOApp #Pokemon pic.twitter.com/2mKxDKuetb

Many players shared their experiences and said that even with groups of 30 or more people they could not win Head of the energy unit and they had to repeat the battle several times.
To be honest, I’m not too interested in Gigantamax raids. I don’t see the point in chasing them if the stakes are much higher than in regular raids. If I liked the Pokemon Gigantamax designs it would be a different story, but none of them interest me so I’ll pass this time🫡 pic.twitter.com/aooGy28Grz

Players not only pointed out the disproportionate difficulty, but also stated that they were dissatisfied with the rewards these battles offer if they are won. Even worse: Pokemon Gigantamax cannot be translated into Pokemon HOUSE.
Until now, Niantic It has not commented on the issue but is expected to make adjustments based on user feedback.
All my local Pokemon GO groups have been silent for several days. Nothing about Kampfirr
There are reports of people who are unable to perform Gigantamax even with 20 people, if not more.
I think then I won’t get any Gigantamax Pokemon in GO.
Local only with such complexity is simply dumb. pic.twitter.com/uUfyzK75Zu

Even @NianticLabs admits that Gigantamax is full of holes right now.
An even bigger problem: winning first. These messages (pictured) are just the tip of the iceberg of problems players are facing (and measly rewards).
Who thought this was all a good idea? 🤨 https://t.co/u0c0M9M95v pic.twitter.com/qw9Wlpfh5T
