Pokémon Go Confirms Dynamax and More Pokémon Headed to Game
Max Out Runs from Sept 10, 10:00 a.m. local time to Sept. 15, 8:00 p.m. local time
Pokémon GO enthusiasts, get ready to GO big with the introduction of Dynamax Pokémon during the upcoming Max Out season! This new feature comes packed with a host of in-game events and rewarding opportunities. The Max Out season is scheduled to run from September 10 at 10:00 a.m. local time until September 15, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. local time.
As the Max Out season kicks off, trainers will have the chance to encounter and battle a selection of Dynamax Pokémon in 1-star Max Battles. The lineup includes:
- Bulbasaur
- Charmander
- Squirtle
- Skwovet
- Wooloo
Once caught, these Pokémon, along with their evolved forms, can be Dynamaxed. Keep an eye out for Shiny variants during these battles, adding an extra layer of excitement to your hunt. Alongside this update, Pokémon GO will introduce special Field Research tasks tailored to the event. Trainers can also participate in PokéStop Showcases, where they can showcase their event-themed Pokémon for a chance to win exclusive rewards.
In addition to these exciting features, a Seasonal Special Research story will be available. Trainers can engage in tasks centered around Max Battles to earn valuable rewards such as Max Particles, a new avatar item, and more. This Special Research can be claimed from September 3 at 10:00 a.m. local time until December 3, 2024, at 9:59 a.m. local time.
An exclusive Max Particle Pack Bundle, containing 4,800 Max Particles, will be up for grabs on the official Pokémon GO web store for $7.99 starting September 8, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. PDT. These Max Particles will play a crucial role in the new Dynamax battles.
Rumors are swirling about the potential introduction of new Power Spots next month. Although Niantic hasn't confirmed these speculations, these locations could become hotspots for Max Battles, offering opportunities to catch Dynamax Pokémon and collect more Max Particles.
During a recent press briefing, Pokémon GO senior producer John Funtanilla shared that some of the Pokémon with Dynamax capabilities will also be able to Mega Evolve, as reported by Eurogamer. While there's no word yet on the inclusion of Gigantamax Pokémon, which was teased earlier this year at Pokémon Worlds, Niantic has promised to provide more details about Dynamax battles in the near future.
