The three starter Pokémon in Sword and Shield now have the option of receiving new Gigantamax forms through the Isle of Armor DLC expansion. You will not be able to unlock these new forms at the start of the new region. You can only unlock them after completing Part XNUMX of the story and learning more about Max Soup.
You first learn about Max Soup by progressing through the story and learning about Max Mushrooms. The story gives you three Max mushrooms by naturally following the quests. You'll need more if you want to unlock all of the possible Gigantamax forms available in Sword and Shield. You can find more Max Mushrooms by exploring the caves and caves of Isle of Armor.
After eating the Max Soup yourself, talk to the trainer in the kitchen of the Master Dojo. They will be able to make Max Soup for any of your Pokémon you have. Each time you prepare the soup, you will need to have three Max mushrooms in your inventory. The Pokémon that eats Max Soup can now use its Gigantamax form in a Pokémon battle, a more powerful version of its Dynamax form. They also come with a neat new appearance when they transform.
The book on the shelf inside the same kitchen lists all the Pokémon capable of unlocking a Gigantamax form.
