The month of March continues celebrating the 25th anniversary of thePokemonfranchise, and with it marks another round of events across the franchise’s various titles. As a special raid battle event inPokemon SwordandShieldconcludes, Trainers wishing to enjoy the fruits of their labor following the Pikachu event can cash in on rewards that await them.
Last weekend, trainers had the chance to battle and capture a Gigantamax Pikachu in specific special raid battles. Historically, the Gigantamax Pikachu was only available for trainers who had playedLet’s Go Pikachu. In the past,there were special raid events dedicated to the fat Pikachu, however, the incentive for this event was for trainers to complete a cumulative total of one million raid battles.
