The Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield group raiding system has only been hinted at, but players can now find those raid symbols in-game, hinting at an upcoming release. All Pok\u00e9mon Go players can find these symbols when searching in their Pok\u00e9mon collection as of Aug. 5. The symbols were released earlier today in an update to the mobile game. A few weeks ago, developer Niantic released official artwork celebrating the eighth anniversary of Pok\u00e9mon Go, with a Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon as the centerpiece. With that artwork and the symbols arriving in the game, we expect the system to launch well before the end of August, potentially during the Pok\u00e9mon World Championships from Aug. 16 to 18. Beyond the symbols appearing in the search section, we don't have any further details on Dynamax and Gigantamax in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Niantic has not officially announced this new system or explained how it works. We already have a raid system in Pok\u00e9mon Go, where players can take on a variety of adversaries. Dynamax and Gigantamax might be more closely associated with Mega Raids, where a special egg appears with a distinct symbol, or the Ultra Beasts raids that use wormholes. These might be similar in difficulty. But in Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield, connecting with four players to complete these encounters was much easier rather than having other players near you and being able to connect online. In contrast, Pok\u00e9mon Go's five-star and Mega Raid systems require five or more players to defeat these challenging adversaries, and the Remote Raid Passes are how players connect from other parts of the world but have become far more costly. Regardless of how Pok\u00e9mon Go players get Dynamax or Gigantamax raids, it's been something the community has been heavily requesting for several years. The Niantic team has been saying they're eagerly awaiting the opportunity to release more Pok\u00e9mon from the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Sword\u00a0and\u00a0Shield\u00a0region of Galar but have seemingly been waiting for the right moment. With Dynamax and Gigantamax looking to be right around the corner, we should expect the Galar region to be the next season featured in Pok\u00e9mon Go, with those starters appearing in the wild before the end of 2024.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Pokemon-Go-Dynamax-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1306438"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2139"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1306438"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1306438\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1306462,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1306438\/revisions\/1306462"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1303978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1306438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1306438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1306438"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1306438"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1306438"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1306438"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1306438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
