    Hey, what's happening with you guys? Once the Pokémon has Gigantamaxed, they become dwarfed, compact cartoonish, realistic, super-elongated or even ginormously hulking in their body proportions. I'm just wanting to know how many heads taller do you think are all the Gigantamax Pokémon in their body proportions. Please let me know when you've replied, thanks.
     
    That is actually really difficult to answer, both because of the lack of proper scale in the games and the different sizes of Pokemon. I would imagine it varies depending on the Pokemon, but it we assume they're around the same sort of size increase for the sake of the argument...

    I'll use G-Max Grimmsnarl as an example, because it's the first one I found when I Youtubed the animation for G-Max Pokemon. When the camera pans out, Marnie is about as tall as G-max Grimmsnarl's foot. I'll make the assumption that Marnie is around 150cm tall, or 4'9". Height for protagonists ranges from 4'5" (Leaf) to 6' (Calem) so it's a...moderately conservative estimate. It's not likely to be TOO far off, and 150cm is a nice number to work with. G-Max Grimmsnarl is roughly 6 Marnies high, which is 900cm/29'5" (rounded) and regular Grimmsnarl is actually only slightly taller than I assume Marnie to be - 149.86cm, or 4'11".

    So, my grossly simplified, very sketchy estimate would be that Gigantamax Pokemon are approximately 6 times larger than their regular-sized counterparts. If I am even remotely close it is likely to be 5 times bigger, because it's a more common multiplier to use in pretty much everything, but that's my best guess. It's poor. But it's got *some* basis at least? xD


    That said, the animation shows the Pokemon expanding twice, so it's very possible that they're just 3 times larger...which is another common Japanese multiplier, because Char Aznable.
     
    Serebii apparently has the height data for Gigantamax forms, if you look at the very bottom of their pages.

    G-Max Charizard is listed as 91'10"/28m, for example. Base height is 5'7"/1.7m. For Grimmsnarl (4'11"/1.5m), it grows to 105 ft/32m. So they seem to grow many times their size, although not by a specific number of times for all Pokemon, they just get really fuckin big.

    Height for protagonists ranges from 4'5" (Leaf) to 6' (Calem)
    wtf Calem's that tall? I figured that all the player characters were at least not taller than me

    When last I looked at Serebii they were all listed as "????" so I didn't even think to look there again! xD

    OK, ignore my bad calculation based on on-screen data. That's about twenty times the size...which is in no way accurately represented on the game screen. Honestly I feel it'd be more impressive if it was 5/6 times because 20 times would mean that realistically speaking you might just be able to fit one of its feet in the arena.

    According to this he is, although I'm not sure how accurate that is, outside of the official heights. They might just be drawn bigger/smaller. Although guessing Marnie to be around 4'9" puts her in the middle-ish of the official range, and she's probably around that age...
     
    Have you seen Wailord?

    I would say at least 5-10x larger depending on the species I guess.
     
    I have measure how many heads tall Gigantamax Grimmsnarl is. However, Gigantamax Grimmsnarl is 12½ head inches taller, making him the #1 most ginormous-hulking of all Gigantamax Pokémon in his body proportion i think. I my dad thought that ginormous body proportions are cartoonish at all, and I'm not even sure from all of you users about whether or not you think it's cartoonish. That's all.
