Pokémon Sword & Shield 10 Gigantamax Forms We d Like To See In The Crown Tundra
The Crown Tundra should introduce some new Gigantamax forms when it comes out, and these Pokémon are a top every fans wish list. One of the greatest additions that the Isle of Armor DLC brought to was its surplus of new Gigantamax Forms. Between new forms for Urshifu, Galar’s starters, and some long-awaited forms for Venusaur and Blastoise, this powerful new battle mechanic was given tons of new tools for competitive and casual trainers. There’s still one more DLC set for Pokémon Sword & Shield, and that is the Crown Tundra. There are tons of new features and returning Pokémon that have been revealed so far, but Gigantamax appears to be taking a back seat with this expansion. This is a shame, though, as there are several old and new Pokémon in need of their own unique Gigantamax Form. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Silvally
The are two mildly missed opportunities in the series. It’s rumored to be a weaker clone of the legendary Arceus, complete with a similar type-changing ability, but it’s somewhat faded into obscurity due to its poor overall stats, and even with its buffed move Multi-Attack it can rarely deal enough damage to be usable. A Gigantamax Form would give this Pokémon a much-needed boost of power. Having a type-variant G-Max move from Multi-Attack would surely give it more variety in play, but giving it a unique secondary effect through its G-Max form could potentially give it wider utility and make up for its forgettable stats. Slowbro
Perhaps the strangest omission from the Isle of Armor’s new Gigantamax Forms is the new Galarian Slowbro, a Poison and Psychic-type that trainers can encounter very early in this new territory. It even acts as the signature Pokémon of your new version-exclusive rivals Avery and Klara. When you take them on in a Gigantamax battle, though, their Galarian Slowbro remains the same style, only much larger. A unique Gigantamax Form would’ve made it especially distinct, and with a Galarian Slowbro likely coming in the Crown Tundra there’s still very much a chance of Gigantamax Forms for them both. Gyarados
There isn’t a lack of dragon-themed Gigantamax Forms, but the lack of a new form for Gyarados is a definite surprise. With its popularity and fame, much thanks to its in the Johto games, it feels disappointing for its Dynamaxed self to be functionally identical and nothing special. Since its prior Mega Evolution changed it to a Dark-type, a Gigantamax version could easily embrace its classic Water or Flying-type traits, making it either a swift sky serpent or a massive coiling sea snake that no longer floats in battle. There are tons of odd visual directions this classic Pokémon could take, and a Gigantamax Form would be a great way to do that. Rotom
Of all the Pokémon in Galar, Rotom might be the least lacking in alternate forms. Through the Rotom Catalogue item to alter its secondary typing, learn a new move, increase its defensive stats. Unfortunately, its speedier and more vulnerable Ghost-type form has been mostly left behind as a result. Giving Rotom’s neutral form a Gigantamax Form would solve this, making it just as viable as its heftier alternatives. This could also provide it with a signature Ghost-type G-Max Move, a feat that’s only held by Gigantamax Gengar’s with an unexciting move that deals damage and traps opponents. Abomasnow
Of all the weather-setting Pokémon, Abomasnow might be one of the worst. It has exceptionally poor speed and defense stats and an embarrassing number of weaknesses, and the range of other Pokémon that benefit from Hail is significantly smaller than other weather effects like rain and harsh sunlight. This is why a Gigantamax Form can give it a stronger edge, as Dynamax already gives a huge defensive boost in the form of higher HP. With this boost and a G-Max move to help improve its defenses, it could make much better competition for its weather-setting peers like Tyranitar and Politoed. Morpeko
One of Pokémon’s longest traditions is Electric-type rodents, with new members like Emolga and Pachirisu debuting in each new game. Pokémon Sword & Shield’s entry to this list is Morpeko, a that swaps from a cheery Full-Belly Mode to a spiteful Hangry Mode. While adorable, Morpeko’s powers are relatively limited, and its transformative ability does very little besides changing the move of its signature attack Aura Wheel. A Gigantamax Form could give Aura Wheel a great upgrade, and help it stand beside the original Electric-type rodent Pikachu, who already has a Gigantamax Form that no fellow Electric rodents can match. Cursola
When it comes to Pokémon changing size, Cursola is one that already is in a growing direction. Starting as a Ghost-type variant of , this spirit of a decayed reef is spreading its horns further and higher than before. Having a Gigantamax form would help it expand further, possibly becoming an entire ghostly maze of rock and coral. More importantly, this Gigatnamax Form would give it a slight edge over its pre-evolution, as Corsola holding an Evolite provides alarmingly better defensive stats over the fully evolved Cursola. A unique form would certainly look beautiful, but it would give much more benefit to evolving Corsola in the first place. Beedrill
This pest of a Bug-type has had a long history of mediocrity, but this Pokémon has had quite a lot of changes in terms of public opinion. It used to come across as inferior to its Kanto peer Butterfree, but as an aggressive and physical fighter it can be quite strong in its own right, and its Mega Evolution in Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire helped it reach new heights. Unfortunately, Mega Evolutions have not made a return in Galar, and if Beedrill were to appear in the Crown Tundra, going back to being an inferior Bug-type would be a huge disappointment. Since Butterfree already has its own Gigantamax Form, it’s only fair that its sibling Beedrill can share the spotlight. Stonjourner
One of the best new Pokémon in Galar is Stonjourner, that are meant to resemble England’s mysterious and ancient Stonehenge. Compared to the real world, though, Stonjourner's mysteriousness is quite lackluster besides its unique Power Spot ability to boost the power of teammates. Since Stonjourner is already a portion of this monument, a Gigantamax Form can add to its mystery and size by being the entire landmark. It's easy to imagine these rocks multiplying and altering the battlefield itself, and growing a grassy field like Gigantamax Snorlax. Something like this would be greatly iconic, but would also differ beautifully from the more monstrous Rock-type Gigantamax Forms. Regigigas
If there’s anything that most people know the Crown Tundra DLC will be about, it’s legendaries. There are several returning legendaries, new forms of old legendaries, and even a few new ones in the form of Regieleki and Regidrago. Since appears to be coming to Galar, surely Regigigas will follow, but its status as the parent of this family is sure to be forgotten with its many new and old members all together. Regigigas is meant to have helped sculpt the world, and simply being larger through Dyanamx isn’t enough to showcase its mythical origin and superior status above the other Regis. Gaining aspects of the other Regis elements and growing its arms to monumental size could help it look as powerful as it is in its lore, just as a one-of-a-kind legendary always should be.
