Pokémon Go has revealed fresh information about Eternatus, with the Pokémon coming to the game in the future during the Max Finale event at the end of August.
The announcement came during today’s Pokémon Presents, which showcased a bunch of new information about upcoming Pokémon products, including updates to their live service library, and a bunch of new information about stuff that was coming up for the hit mobile game.
Scopely had been teasing a big Pokémon Go announcementfor some time before the Pokémon Presents showcase even started, and asked trainers to tune in to the announcement ahead of time. No information was shared at the time about what it could be, with Scopely leaving trainers to guess what would happen during the 24-minute showcase.
On top of that, Pokémon Go teased some returning Gigantamax Pokémon that’ll appear during the event, which appears to be entirely Max Battle focused. Gigantamax Snorlax and Toxtricity were some of the Poémon showcased, but the Max Finale event seems to be mostly focused on Eternatus among other things.
Right now, you’re able to also use the promo code GOFESTMAX to get the chance to capture either Gigantamax Cinderace, Rillaboom, or Inteleon.
More details about Max Finale will be revealed over time, but it appears as though you will not be able to use Gigantamax Eternatus in-game, just like in the base game, with it instead being a raid battle that you take part in and nothing more. Although we need to wait for more information in the future to be sure.
