Pokemon GO releases Gigantamax Lapras as part of the 2024 Gigantamax Lapras Max Battle Day. Gigantamax Lapras comes as a powerful Tier 6 Max Battle Boss. Those who win against it can reward a Lapras that can Gigantamax.
Pokemon GO Gigantamax Lapras debuts from the start of the Gigantamax Lapras Max Battle Day on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at 2 PM Local Time. The Max Battle winners can also get a Shiny Lapras, which can Gigantamax. But since Tier 6 Max Battle Bosses are powerhouses, you cannot solo-defeat them. You must team up with 10 and 40 players and make sure that each has powerful Gigantamax Lapras counters. That said, this guide details the best Gigantamax Lapras counters, weaknesses, how to get Shiny Gigantamax Lapras, and more.
