Pokémon GO announced the addition of Dynamax Pokémon as part of the upcoming Max Out season. This new feature will be accompanied by a variety of in-game events and rewards so you can GO big! The Max Out season will run from September 10, at 10:00 a.m. local time to September 15, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. local time.

Additionally as the Max Out begins, Pokémon GO will debut the following Dynamax 'mons in 1-star Max Battles. Trainers will be able to battle and catch Dynamaxed versions of the following:
　⚫︎　Bulbasaur
　⚫︎　Charmander
　⚫︎　Squirtle
　⚫︎　Skwovet
　⚫︎　Wooloo

These Pokémon, once caught, can be Dynamaxed along with their evolved forms. There’s also a chance to encounter Shiny variants of them during these battles. Along with this update, Pokémon GO will introduce special Field Research tasks during the event. Trainers will also be able to participate in PokéStop Showcases, where they can enter event-themed Pokémon for a chance to win rewards.

Apart from this, Seasonal Special Research story is also on the way. Trainers can complete these tasks focused on Max Battles to earn rewards such as Max Particles, a new avatar item, and more. The Special Research can be claimed from September 3, at 10:00 a.m. local time to December 3, 2024, at 9:59 a.m. local time.

An exclusive Max Particle Pack Bundle, which includes 4,800 Max Particles, will be available on the official Pokémon GO web store for $7.99 starting September 8, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. PDT. These Max Particles will be important in the new Dynamax battles.

Additionally, rumors suggest that new Power Spots will start appearing in the game next month, though Niantic has not given word on the speculation. These Power Spots will be key locations where trainers can engage in Max Battles, catch Dynamax Pokémon, and gather more Max Particles.

Pokémon GO senior producer John Funtanilla has revealed during a press briefing that some of the Pokémon with Dynamax capabilities will also be able to Mega Evolve, according to a report by Eurogamer. However, on the other hand, there’s still no information on when or if Gigantamax Pokémon will be added to Pokémon GO, though this mechanic was also teased during this year's Pokémon Worlds. Nonetheless, Niantic promised to share more details about Dynamax battles in the coming days.
