Japan Pokémon GO Raid Day: Gigantamax Pikachu and a Special ExperienceI had a special Pokémon GO experience enjoying the Gigantamax Pikachu Raid Day in Kanazawa, Japan. I was lucky enough to get a 100% IV Pikachu and several shiny Pokémon, experiencing Japan's unique playstyle, which differs from Europe. The abundant PokéStop environment and players' individual playstyles in Japan were impressive.
1. 🎮 Pokémon GO Raid Day in Kanazawa, Japan
· I played the Gigantamax Pikachu Raid Day at Kanazawa Station in Japan.
· Kanazawa Station had many PokéStops and Gyms, making it a good environment for playing.
· Gigantamax Pikachu Raids are conducted through energy sources, not Gyms, and there were 5 energy sources nearby.
· Japanese players played with multiple phones each, but it was impressive to see them enjoy the game individually without much interaction.
· Unlike Community Days in Europe (Vienna) with organized gatherings or guidance, players found raid locations and moved on their own.
