As a singular Water-type from Kanto, Gigantamax Blastoise has vulnerabilities to Electric- and Grass-type attacks. When it appears as a Power Spot boss, team up with friends to take on the challenge.

To join these 6-star Max Battles featuring Gigantamax Blastoise, you will need a total of 850 Max Particles in your account.

Keep in mind that tackling a 6-star Gigantamax Blastoise alone can be quite difficult, so collaborating with other trainers is highly recommended if you aim to succeed.

No need to fret about losing your 850 Max Particles; you will only be deducted if you emerge victorious.

2) Engage in Trading

Another method to secure Gigantamax Blastoise is through Trading. However, this requires a willing in-game friend who can offer you their Gigantamax Blastoise.

If you have yet to catch this Pokémon, the transfer process will be categorized as a Special Trade.
