A new leak has emerged, revealing exciting news for Pokemon GO players: Bulbasaur will be the first Pokemon to receive its Dynamax form in the game. Since its launch, Pokemon GO has continually introduced new features and Pokemon, enriching the player experience. However, two notable features from the mainline games, Dynamax and Gigantamax, have yet to make their debut in Pokemon GO—until now.

What are Dynamax and Gigantamax?

Dynamax and Gigantamax were first introduced in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Dynamax is a temporary transformation that significantly increases a Pokemon’s size and strength, allowing it to use powerful abilities known as Max Moves. Gigantamax, a special type of Dynamax, not only boosts the Pokemon’s size and strength but also alters its appearance and grants access to unique G-Max Moves. These features have been highly anticipated by Pokemon GO trainers.

The Leak Details

According to leakers from The Pokemod Group, Bulbasaur will be the pioneer of the Dynamax feature in Pokemon GO. The leak suggests that Bulbasaur was the first Pokemon to be configured for “Bread,” the codename for Dynamax. This configuration is linked to another termed “BreadTierGroups,” with Dynamax Bulbasaur classified as “GROUP_1.” Although the leak lacks specific details, players speculate that this classification might be akin to raid tiers, divided into 1, 3, and 5 stars.

Community Reactions and Speculations

The revelation that Bulbasaur, and not Pikachu, will be the first to Dynamax surprised some players. However, others noted that it makes sense, given Bulbasaur’s position as the first Pokemon in the Regional Pokedex. This leak builds on information from last month when Pokemoders found evidence pointing to the imminent arrival of Dynamax and Gigantamax forms in Pokemon GO. Additionally, a recent teaser by Pokemon GO featured a Dynamaxing Wartortle in the background, further hinting at the feature’s addition.

Existing Features and Future Expectations

Currently, Pokemon GO players enjoy various features from the mainline games, such as Shadow Pokemon and Mega Evolutions. Shadow Pokemon, for instance, are creatures left behind when players defeat Team GO Rocket. Mega Evolutions, which also alter a Pokemon’s appearance, require specific Mega Energy in Pokemon GO, similar to the use of Mega Stones in the mainline games.

While there is no official release date for Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon in Pokemon GO, and details from the leak may change, the anticipation is building. Players are eager to see these new transformations and how they will impact gameplay.

Final Thoughts

The leak indicating Bulbasaur as the first Pokemon to Dynamax in Pokemon GO has stirred excitement and speculation within the community. As players await an official announcement from Niantic, the potential introduction of Dynamax and Gigantamax forms promises to bring a fresh dynamic to the game. Stay tuned for further updates as Pokemon GO continues to evolve and expand its features.
