Originally, the only way to acquire a Gigantamax Pikachu in Pokemon Sword and Shield involved having a save file from Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! on your system.
As a reminder, the last Pokemon Sword and Shield Max Raid special characters were ones that are popular in the competitive scene.
A new Pokemon has come to the Pokemon Sword and Shield raids, and it is a familiar face.
Pokemon Sword and Shield are available for the Nintendo Switch.
