Final ever Pokemon Sword & Shield event adds Gigantamax Snorlax, Gengar, more

The last ever Max Raid event has kicked off in Pokemon Sword & Shield and it’s added 21 different Gigantamax encounters for trainers to take on.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet is scheduled to arrive on November 18, 2022, and while that’s great news for trainers everywhere, it also marks the end of an era for Sword & Shield.

On October 14, Game Freak announced that they will no longer be hosting Max Raid events in Sword & Shield, with the last one arriving on November 1.

Now, the devs have finally rolled out that last-ever event and while it’s a sad day for Pokemon fans, Game Freak has made sure to go out with a bang.

Adding a huge number of Gigantamax Pokemon to Max Raid dens, don’t miss out on taking part in Sword & Shield’s final event.
