Gigantamax Rillaboom is the boss of six-star Max Battles at Power Spots for an afternoon on Saturday 1 August, and it can be shiny for the first time. Every Power Spot hosts a Gigantamax Battle, and there are more Power Spots, so this is the day to team up with other players or a local meetup. A paid ticket adds Timed Research and extra XP from Max Battles.
