Pokemon GO players are gearing up for two highly-anticipated events: Gigantamax Kingler's debut in six-star Max Battles on Saturday, February 1, 2025, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time, and Dynamax Moltres' debut from February 3 to 9. Although participating in these battles can be resource-intensive, Reddit user u/Gx811 has outlined a clever strategy to maximize your chances of battling these powerhouses for free — leveraging Timed Research tasks and boosted MP (Max Points) earnings during the events.

By carefully managing MP and taking advantage of walking bonuses and power spot collections, players can complete four G-Max Kingler battles and three Dynamax Moltres battles without spending anything extra. Here's a step-by-step method on how you can replicate this efficient plan.

The key to success is starting with 730–900 MP in your storage when the Legendary Flight Lead-Up Timed Research goes live on Friday, January 31, 2025, at 10 AM local time. Having excess MP above this range may require additional walking to bank particles during Max Monday.

1) Friday tasks:

Start with 730 MP: Level up a Max Move from Level 1 to Level 2 twice, costing 450 MP each.
After completing these tasks, collect four power spot particles (+480 MP) to end the day at 310 MP.
Bank 2 km worth of walking particles for collection early Saturday morning.
