How to Redeem the Pokémon Go Gigantamax Research Promo Code
First things first: to start the Timed Research, head over to the Pokémon Go Web Store and enter the promo code GOFESTMAX. You can also simply click the link above to auto-fill the code. Just remember, this code expires on August 24, so don’t wait too long!
Once redeemed, you’ll be prompted inside the game to choose your Gigantamax starter — Rillaboom, Cinderace, or Inteleon — right from your regular research screen. The new Timed Research will then appear in your Timed Research hub and also ends on August 24.
Which Gigantamax Starter Should You Pick?
All three starters are excellent choices, each being the top Gigantamax attacker for their type:
- Rillaboom – Grass type
- Cinderace – Fire type
- Inteleon – Water type
So, your pick really depends on what you’re missing in your collection. For example, if you already have an Inteleon but no Cinderace or Rillaboom, and also own a Gigantamax Charizard but no Venusaur, grabbing Rillaboom might be the way to go. While Kanto starters are solid, Galar starters tend to have the edge here.
If you’ve been active during Max Battle weekends and already have these Gigantamax forms, consider which Pokémon you need candy for or which one you want to try for better IVs through this research.
Here’s a neat fact: Gigantamax Inteleon boasts the highest attack stat among all Gigantamax Pokémon. So if pure power is your goal, Inteleon could be your pick. Otherwise, stick to your collection needs.
Pokémon Go ‘Gigantamax Journey’ Timed Research Steps and Rewards
The research consists of five steps, with rewards slightly varying based on the starter you chose. Here’s what you can expect so far:
- Step 1: Collect MP from 3 power spots (812 XP) – Reward: Encounter with your chosen Gigantamax starter (Rillaboom, Cinderace, or Inteleon)
- Step 2: Give your buddy a treat on 7 different days (Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble encounter), unlock a Max Move, and win a Max Battle (rewards include 10,000 Stardust and 10,000 XP)
