A gigantic Pokémon (Japanese: 巨大ポケモン gigantic Pokémon) is a Pokémon in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX that takes up nine tiles rather than the usual one.
A gigantic Pokémon has a larger reach with its attacks, and some attacks are completely different, such as Outrage. Gigantic Pokémon are also immune to Sketch.
In Super Mystery Dungeon, the player can only bring one gigantic Pokémon into a dungeon at a time. However, it is possible to have up to five gigantic Pokémon on the player's team at one time if the player has at least two party members that know Transform use it on a gigantic Pokémon and brings the Djinn's Bottle into a dungeon and uses it to call Hoopa Unbound, who can further call a gigantic Legendary Pokémon.
In Rescue Team DX, this restriction is removed, and the player is allowed to have as many gigantic Pokémon as they would like, up to the max team size.
Gigantic Pokémon also existed in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, but were not playable.

Trivia
- All gigantic Pokémon had four stars in body size in previous Mystery Dungeon games, with the exception of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, which had inconsistent body size across all entries: three stars in WiiWare games, two stars in Explorers games and four stars in Red and Blue Rescue Team.
- The Bittercold and Dark Matter are the size of a gigantic Pokémon.
- Gigantic Pokémon in Gates to Infinity are immune to negative status conditions and other effects, such as Two-Edge Orbs. The Bittercold, Ho-Oh, and Lugia are also immune to warping effects, as they are situated at the top of the arena.
- In Gates to Infinity, the stats and movesets for gigantic Pokémon in Challenge Board missions vary depending on the difficulty rating.
- Other moves in Gates to Infinity only used by gigantic Pokémon also require a turn to charge up: Aeroblast, Sacred Fire, Glaciate, Freeze Shock, and Ice Burn.
- Versions of Aeroblast, Sacred Fire, Glaciate, Fusion Flare, Fusion Bolt, Blue Flare, Bolt Strike, Ice Burn, and Freeze Shock with regular statistics exist within the game, suggesting they could have been used by non-gigantic Pokémon.
