Gigantamax Locations Guide: If you have watched the newest Pokemon Anime Season (Pokemon Journeys) then you must be aware of what is Gigantamax form. For those who don’t have a clue, it is a variation of Dynamax which allows the Pokemon to grow in size. However, it is only available for a couple of Pokemon and can be caught in some areas where Pokemon Dens exist. Gigantamax evolution is already present in some popular GBA ROMs like Pokemon Unbound.
