There’s no word if the more specialized version of Dynamaxing, “Gigantamaxing,” will make an appearance this season. No Gigantamax Pokémon were featured in the “Max Out” trailer. (Though, yes, Blastoise, Venusaur, and Charizard all have Gigantamax forms, they were not shown in these specific forms during the trailer.)
