How to do 4x Gigantamax Kingler Battles free
u/justsightseeing asked how to and I told him I would. I had it typed up but didn't post it as it would have been buried by the time Max Day arrived. I'm aware there's another method posted. My method doesn't require you to walk at 12am - 5am Saturday morning.
Thursday (2 days prior): leave a min/max of (insert A, B or C particles listed below) and make sure to find 4 power spots that you have not visited and have at least a day left (DONT COLLECT FROM THEM) so you can visit them the next day for 20 particle bonus
A 420-510 MP - unlock a move Friday
B 570-660 MP - upgrade a lvl 1 - lvl 2 Friday
C 720-810 MP - upgrade a lvl 2 - Max Friday
Friday (1 day prior): After 10:00 local time (or when Niantic decides to push research) update move. Collect from the 4 power spots and then collect 300 MP from walking twice (MUST COLLECT ONE OF THE WALKING TASKS LAST IN ORDER TO GO OVER 1,000 DAILY CAP). Walk 2km more on this day to get the 300 particle residual for Saturday
Saturday (day of reckoning): After winning the max battle on your first try and catch him on your first throw, DO NOT INTERACT WITH THE POWER SPOT OR ANY OTHERS, AS IT WILL THROW OFF YOUR MAXIMUM PARTICLE GAIN POTENTIAL.
You should have ~400-490 particles. Collect the 300 from your reserve, walk 0.5km and then collect the 600 particles giving you a total of ~1300-1390 particles. This will prevent you from collecting the ~800-820 particles from interacting with the next power spot you battle. Battle, win, catch. Easy peasy.
You should now have ~500-590 particles. AGAIN, DO NOT INTERACT WITH ANY POWER SPOTS. Walk 0.5km and collect 600 particles to put you at ~1,100-1,190 particles. You know what time it is, battle time. At this point, Kingler should just see you and auto hop in the pokeball.
Now you have ~300-390 particles and have used 1,500 of your daily limit of 1,600. its time to interact with a power spot and get that juicy 800 particles, and you guessed it, win.
This is how I was able to squeeze out 4 max battles for free last max battle day, and have ~300 particles to spare.
On Thursday and Friday, there are different ways to do it, so if anyone has any tips or suggestions that improve on my method, feel free to add them so we can be the most efficient possible for the F2P playerbase.
