Max Out Runs from Sept 10, 10:00 a.m. local time to Sept. 15, 8:00 p.m. local time

As the Max Out season kicks off, Pokémon GO will introduce Dynamax Pokémon in 1-star Max Battles. Trainers can look forward to battling and catching Dynamaxed versions of popular Pokémon such as Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Skwovet, and Wooloo. Once caught, these Pokémon, along with their evolved forms, can be Dynamaxed, and there’s even a chance to encounter Shiny variants during these encounters. Alongside this exciting update, the game will feature special Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases where trainers can showcase event-themed Pokémon for a chance to win rewards.

Adding to the excitement, a Seasonal Special Research story will be available, focusing on Max Battles. Completing these tasks will allow trainers to earn rewards like Max Particles, a new avatar item, and more. This Special Research can be claimed from September 3, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. local time to December 3, 2024, at 9:59 a.m. local time, providing an extended period to participate.

For those looking to stock up, an exclusive Max Particle Pack Bundle will be available on the official Pokémon GO web store for $7.99, 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.

Rumors are circulating about new Power Spots that may appear in the game next month, although Niantic has yet to confirm these speculations. These Power Spots are expected to be pivotal locations for Max Battles, offering trainers the chance to catch Dynamax Pokémon and gather more Max Particles.

During a recent press briefing, Pokémon GO senior producer John Funtanilla revealed that some of the Pokémon with Dynamax capabilities will also have the ability to Mega Evolve, as reported by Eurogamer. While there's no official word yet on the addition of Gigantamax Pokémon to Pokémon GO, Niantic has teased this mechanic and promised to share more details about Dynamax battles in the coming days.
