New Pokémon Sword and Shield Max Raid Battle Event Features Gigantamax Hatterene and Gigantamax Corviknight

Pokémon Sword and Shield trainers can look forward to an exciting new Max Raid Battle event, showcasing the Gigantamax forms of Hatterene and Corviknight. The event is set to take place from July 9 to July 12, offering players a chance to challenge and catch these powerful Pokémon.

During this limited-time event, Gigantamax Hatterene and Gigantamax Corviknight will appear more frequently in Max Raid Battles. Trainers will have an increased likelihood of encountering these rare Pokémon, making it an excellent opportunity to expand their collection.

Gigantamax Hatterene, known for its Psychic/Fairy typing, possesses a unique appearance and powerful moves like G-Max Smite. Its ability, Magic Bounce, allows it to reflect certain non-damaging moves back at its opponents.

On the other hand, Gigantamax Corviknight, a Flying/Steel type, exhibits an impressive design with a massive wingspan. It can unleash intimidating moves such as G-Max Wind Rage, which deals damage and removes any effects of moves like Light Screen or Reflect.

Trainers will need to connect their Nintendo Switch consoles to the internet to participate in Max Raid Battles during this event. To join a Max Raid Battle, players can interact with the Pokémon dens found within the Wild Area.

Additionally, there is another event lined up in honor of Pokémon Sword and Shield’s latest DLC, The Isle of Armor. This event features the appearance of Cramorant and Arctozolt in Max Raid Battles, presenting players with the opportunity to catch these unique Pokémon.
