Highlights
- Bulbasaur could be the first Pokemon to get its Dynamax form in Pokemon GO, according to a leak.
- Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon, introduced in Pokemon Sword and Shield, have been eagerly awaited by Pokemon GO trainers.
- Despite the new leak providing information on Dynamax Bulbasaur, there is still no official date for the arrival of Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon.
A new Pokemon GO leak reveals that Bulbasaur will be the first monster to get its Dynamax form. Pokemon GO has been introducing many features and new Pokemon since its launch, enhancing the player experience. Despite this, there are two features that Pokemon GO trainers still miss.
These features are the Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon, introduced with the release of Pokemon Sword and Shield. Dynamax is a temporary transformation that significantly increases the Pokemon”s size and strength, allowing them to use the abilities known as Max Moves. Gigantamax, meanwhile, is a special type of Dynamax that also changes the Pokemon”s appearance, allowing it to use G-Max Moves. Fans have eagerly waited for the addition of Dynamax and Gigantamax critters to Pokemon GO, and a new leak provides more information about them.

Leakers from The Pokemod Group have revealed that Bulbasaur will be the first Pokemon to get the Dynamax treatment in Pokemon GO. According to the leak, the Pokemon starter from Kanto was the first to receive the configuration for “Bread,” the codename for Dynamax. The leak also explains that the configuration is related to another called “BreadTierGroups,” in which Dynamax Bulbasaur is classified as “GROUP_1.” Although the leak doesn”t provide further details, Pokemon GO players in the comments section speculate that this is a similar classification to raids, which are divided into 1, 3, and 5 stars.

While some Pokemon GO players were surprised that Pikachu wasn”t the first critter to get its Dynamax form, others commented that “it makes sense,” Bulbasaur is the first Pokemon in the Regional Pokedex. This new leak complements the information released by Pokemoders last month when leakers discovered evidence that Dynamax and Gigantamax forms are on their way to Pokemon GO. Additionally, a teaser released by Pokemon GO earlier this month showed Dynamaxing Wartortle in the background, teasing the addition of the feature.
Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon still don”t have a date to arrive in Pokemon GO, and because it”s a leak, details may change until an official announcement from Niantic. Despite this, Pokemon GO players can already interact with some gimmicks from the Pokemon franchise. One of these gimmicks is Shadow Pokemon, monsters left behind when Pokemon GO players defeat Team GO Rocket. Another example is Mega Evolutions, which changes the appearance of critters in Pokemon GO just like in the mainline Pokemon games. While in the mainline games, trainers need Mega Stones to evolve their Pokemon, to mega evolve a critter in Pokemon GO, players need to have Mega Energy specific to that Pokemon.
