https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/gameplay/gigantamax/I guess I'm just an idiot for never reading it, I've been on this board constantly since the hype train started rolling.
But the only pokemon that can gigantamax are the ones that are FULLY EVOLVED and caught in a raid?
So no wild stage pokemon like Impidimp, Sizzlipede, or Hatenna -- can ever gigantamax?
Why even spend time and effort on these models if they're so hard to acquire? Most mega stones were easy to find in X/Y. And the ones that were post game could AT LEAST be given to your existing pokemon you've used all game.
Please tell me I'm misunderstanding. I really wanted to raise a Corviknight/Grimmsnarl from stage 1 and use it in-game... but why bother if I have to catch a gigantamax version later?
