Gigantamax Snorlax
We now know that there are special Snorlax among the Snorlax that you can find living in the Galar region. These Snorlax are capable of Gigantamaxing! When Gigantamaxed, these special Snorlax gain a different appearance than regular Dynamax Snorlax, and they can also unleash a G-Max Move called G-Max Replenish.
Gigantamax Snorlax will appear in Max Raid Battles from Wednesday, December 4, until early January (subject to change). So be sure to check out the Pokémon Dens that dot the Wild Area, and try to battle Gigantamax Snorlax for yourself!
Zacian’s special ability: Intrepid Sword
Zamazenta’s special ability: Dauntless Shield
