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

The Max Out season, set to run from September 10 at 10:00 a.m. local time until September 15, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. local time, promises an exhilarating experience for Pokémon GO players. With the introduction of Dynamax Pokémon, players can look forward to an array of in-game events and rewards designed to enhance their gameplay.

As the Max Out season kicks off, trainers will encounter the following Pokémon in 1-star Max Battles, ready to be battled and caught in their Dynamaxed forms:

• Bulbasaur
• Charmander
• Squirtle
• Skwovet
• Wooloo

Once captured, these Pokémon and their evolved forms can be Dynamaxed, adding a new layer of strategy to battles. There's also the exciting possibility of encountering Shiny variants during these battles. Alongside, special Field Research tasks will be introduced, and trainers can participate in PokéStop Showcases to compete with event-themed Pokémon for rewards.

Moreover, a Seasonal Special Research story will be available, starting from September 3 at 10:00 a.m. local time and running until December 3, 2024, at 9:59 a.m. local time. This research will focus on Max Battles, offering rewards such as Max Particles and a new avatar item.

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

In addition, there are whispers about new Power Spots emerging in the game next month, though Niantic has yet to confirm these rumors. These Power Spots could become crucial locations for trainers to participate in Max Battles, catch Dynamax Pokémon, and collect more Max Particles.

During a recent press briefing, Pokémon GO senior producer John Funtanilla revealed that some Pokémon with Dynamax capabilities will also be able to Mega Evolve, as reported by Eurogamer. However, details on the inclusion of Gigantamax Pokémon in Pokémon GO are still pending, despite teases at this year's Pokémon Worlds. Niantic has assured fans that more information about Dynamax battles will be shared in the coming days.
