Read on below to learn about the an upcoming Max Raid Battle event in Pokémon Sword and Shield:

A new Max Raid Battle event starring Cramorant will run in Pokémon Sword and Shield from February 4 to February 8, 2021. A number of gifts will be unlocked if Cramorant is defeated by a large number of players.

For an opportunity to encounter these Pokémon in a Max Raid Battle, you’ll need to connect your Nintendo Switch system to the internet through Y-Comm or by selecting Mystery Gift in the X menu, then selecting Get the Wild Area News. After that, whenever you see a pillar of light shining from a Pokémon Den, you can walk up to the Pokémon Den and interact with it to start a Max Raid Battle with a Dynamax Pokémon. Usually, there’ll be an extremely small possibility a Gigantamax Pokémon will appear instead of a Dynamax Pokémon, but during an event, certain Gigantamax Pokémon are more likely to appear. This event does not affect the Pokémon encountered within Dynamax Adventures.
