Max Mushrooms debut in Pokemon Go

During the Gigantamax Lapras Max Battle Day event, Max Mushrooms will debut. These items temporarily amplify Fast Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Max Moves of Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon. This means that attacks will do double the damage during a Max Battle. Multiple mushrooms can be used to increase the duration the effect is active, but the attack boost will not stack.

Using these mushrooms, players will be sure to get their new, extra-large powerhouse during the Gigantamax Lapras Max Battle Day event in Pokemon Go.
