Pokemon Sword and Shield are two new mainline games for the Nintendo Switch that come from Game Freak. While the premise of the adventure is pretty similar to recent entries, there are some changes here and there that make it stand out from the rest, such as the ability to use Gigantamax forms of existing Pokemon. Here’s a list on all Gigantamax Pokemon forms in Pokemon Sword and Shield.
By catching specific Pokemon during Max Raid battles, these Pokemon have the ability to Dynamax themselves, which makes the Pokemon large in size and increases its stats. Only specific Pokemon have Gigantamax forms and these give the Pokemon different looks and a special G-Max move.

How to Get Gigantamax Pokemon
