How to farm the Gigantamax Pokémon in Pokémon Sword and Shield

Gigantamax Pokémon are the big appeal of the new Pokémon Sword and Shield Games. You meet them in the wild area, where they spawn in small glowing dens. They only come from time to time and are rare. However, some have found a way to grow Gigantamax dens so that you can find the right one for you.

The method is quite simple. The first thing to do is make sure you log out. When you do this, head to a den with a glowing light to collect your watts. Once you've received your watts, go to the Invite other users option and have it start charging.

While these options are loading, navigate to your home menu and system settings in the main options of your Nintendo Switch. Scroll down to System and go to Date and time. You want to change your time for a day and accept it. Return to the main home menu and return to your Pokémon Sword or Game Shield.

Now you want to leave the raid you are dealing with. Clicking on it should cancel your search and take you back to the main world where you should see the lair in front of you turn glowing again. Traditionally, if you've collected watts in a den before, you can't do it anymore, but this time you can. You receive the Watts as if you never touched the Den, and when you go to the raid, you should see a new Pokémon. available that was different from your previous one.

You can keep doing this as many times as you want to collect the correct Pokémon you want to add to your roster. Some players have noticed that this method corrupted their saves, so be careful when doing this.

PhillyThanzU discovered the method and you can see it doing it from their Twitter account.
