Certain species of Pokémon can perform a special kind of Dynamaxing known as Gigantamaxing. Gigantamax change in size and appearance. However, even among species which can Gigantamax, only certain individuals are able to do so. Pokémon capable of Gigantamaxing can be caught in Max Raid Battles, but are said to be very rare.
