While both involve Pok\u00e9mon becoming gigantic, Gigantamax goes a step further, granting unique appearances and access to devastating <strong>G-Max Moves<\/strong> that can completely change the course of a battle.

It also gains access to <strong>Max Moves<\/strong>, which are powered-up versions of their regular moves. The type of Max Move depends on the type of the original move.
