How Does Max Soup Work?
Max Soup is a new feature in Pokémon Sword and Shield introduced in the Isle of Armor DLC. Using a new item, Max Mushrooms, players can craft a Max Soup that, when served to certain Pokémon, gives them the ability to Gigantamax. In this article, we will delve into the details of how Max Soup works and what benefits it offers to Pokémon.
What is Max Soup?
Max Soup is a special item that can be crafted using Max Mushrooms, which can be obtained by completing Max Raid Battles. Each Max Mushroom has a chance to appear after completing a Max Raid Battle, and players can collect up to three Max Mushrooms per day. Once you have collected the required number of Max Mushrooms, you can craft Max Soup at the Dojo.
How to Craft Max Soup
To craft Max Soup, you will need to collect three Max Mushrooms and then take them to the Dojo. The Dojo is located in the Wild Area, and you can find it by speaking to the Dojo Master. Once you have arrived at the Dojo, select the "Craft" option and choose the Max Soup recipe. The Dojo Master will then craft the Max Soup for you.
What are the Benefits of Max Soup?
When you serve Max Soup to certain Pokémon, it gives them the ability to Gigantamax. Gigantamax is a special form that certain Pokémon can take, which increases their power and strength. When a Pokémon is in its Gigantamax form, it will also gain a new G-Max move, which is a powerful attack that can be used in battle.
Which Pokémon Can Gigantamax?
Not all Pokémon can Gigantamax. Only certain Pokémon that have the ability to Gigantamax can be given Max Soup. These Pokémon are typically the starter Pokémon and some other specific Pokémon. When you try to give Max Soup to a Pokémon that cannot Gigantamax, it will not work.
How to Give Max Soup to Pokémon
To give Max Soup to a Pokémon, you will need to select the "Feeding" option when you are in the Pokémon’s summary screen. Then, select the Max Soup option and confirm that you want to give it to the Pokémon. The Pokémon will then enter its Gigantamax form and gain its new G-Max move.
What are the G-Max Moves?
Each Pokémon that can Gigantamax has a unique G-Max move that it can use in battle. These moves are typically powerful and can be used to take down opponents. Here are some examples of G-Max moves:
- G-Max Replenish: This move restores any berries that have been consumed by the Pokémon or its allies during the battle.
- G-Max Blast: This move deals massive damage to opponents and has a chance to burn them.
- G-Max Shield: This move creates a shield around the Pokémon that absorbs damage and has a chance to reflect it back at the opponent.
Conclusion
Max Soup is a new feature in Pokémon Sword and Shield that allows players to give certain Pokémon the ability to Gigantamax. By crafting Max Soup using Max Mushrooms, players can give their Pokémon a powerful boost in battle. With its unique G-Max moves, Gigantamax Pokémon can take down opponents with ease. Whether you are a seasoned Pokémon trainer or just starting out, Max Soup is a great way to give your Pokémon an edge in battle.
