BUR #38860 is pending approval.
create implication gigantamax -> dynamax
Gigantamax is considered a form of Dynamax. Here's a quote, taken from a Trainer Tips sign in Sword and Shield:
"The Dynamax phenomenon is caused by a special power that originates from within Pokémon, warping the space around them and making them appear far larger than they truly are. Some Pokémon also change appearance upon Dynamaxing. This particular kind of Dynamaxing is also known as Gigantamaxing."
A thought that comes to mind is perhaps Gigantamax refers to the redesign of the creature solely and not the size change? Here's one with a ambiguously sized Cinderace next to Mega Lopunny post #5742607.

Gigantamax Cinderace is a bit of an odd case, as the Pokémon itself doesn't get that big; it's the fireball that does. I'd argue that post still depicts the Dynamax phenomenon, as the Cinderace is Gigantamaxed, just without its fireball.
+1. "Dynamax" refers to the Pokémon growing to an enormous size; "Gigantamax" refers to the few Pokémon who can have an alternate form when doing so. It's a subset.

That was my first thought as well. For example, here's a non-giant Gigantamax Meowth: post #6089041. And a non-giant Gigantamax Butterfree: post #5005840.
Whether people think it's right to tag such posts as gigantamax could be debatable. I'm indifferent.

Other than the red swirling clouds around the head, is it worth tagging dynamax instead of just using giant?
Even if there are no red clouds visible, the presence of characters or other elements from SwSh could still imply that a Pokémon is Dynamaxed, rather than just giant. As an example, post #3532564 has no clouds, but it's clearly still a Dynamax Voltorb.
This bulk update request is pending automatic rejection in 5 days.
