Pokémon GO: Morpeko Arrives, Dynamax/Gigantamax Teased!
Get ready for significant updates to Pokémon GO! Developer Niantic has hinted at the arrival of Dynamax and Gigantamax mechanics, initially featured in Pokémon Sword and Shield. This exciting news follows the confirmation of Morpeko's addition to the game.
Morpeko and the Galar Region Speculation:
Niantic announced Morpeko's imminent arrival, highlighting its form-changing abilities during battles via Charged Attacks. This, coupled with Niantic's tease of "big changes, big battles, and…big Pokémon" for the upcoming season, has fueled fan speculation about the introduction of Dynamax and Gigantamax. The mechanics, exclusive to the Galar region, allow Pokémon to drastically increase in size and power. The possibility of other Galar Pokémon like Mimikyu and Aegislash joining the roster is also being discussed.
While specifics remain undisclosed, the new season, starting in September after the Shared Skies season concludes on September 3rd, is expected to center around Galar Pokémon, further intensifying anticipation for Dynamax and Gigantamax. The implementation method in Pokémon GO remains unknown – whether it will mirror the Power Spots from Sword and Shield is yet to be seen.
