Fans have been wondering when they might see more Galar Pok\u00e9mon in the mobile game and when Dynamax and Gigantamax raids are being added. Following an update, we have our first peek at when Pok\u00e9mon Go players can expect to participate in Dynamax and Gigantamax raids. These activities encourage players to work together to defeat a powerful foe, but this feature might work differently from the main game. Here's what we know so far about when we can expect to see Dynamax and Gigantamax raids in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Dynamax and Gigantamax raids in Pok\u00e9mon Go, explained We do not have a clear, official date for Dynamax or Gigantamax activities in the mobile game yet. The team behind Pok\u00e9mon Go has not confirmed anything, but a recent update has added the Dynamax and Gigantamax raid symbols to the search bar. Players can find these symbols when searching in their Pok\u00e9mon collection, which would identify the Pok\u00e9mon that can undergo these transformations. Many players speculate Dynamax and Gigantamax raids could be added during the Pok\u00e9mon World Championship from Aug. 14 to 16. What's also unclear is how the Dynamax and Gigantamax raids will work in Pok\u00e9mon Go. In Sword and Shield, the system is similar to how the mobile game's raiding system already operates. Players visit a location where a Dynamax or Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon has made its home, challenge it to a battle, and invite various other players to assist them. Outside of making these a Dynamax or Gigantamax encounter, we don't know how Niantic will make the experience distinct. The Dynamax raid encounters could likely be easier, where only a handful of Pok\u00e9mon Go players need to team up to defeat them. The Gigantamax raids could feature the more challenging Pok\u00e9mon, with many players using their strongest Pok\u00e9mon to take them down. The one thing that differentiates the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Go\u00a0raids\u00a0is that players use six Pok\u00e9mon, whereas the Dynamax and Gigantamax raids in Sword and Shield only allow one Pok\u00e9mon. This could be how they differ from the existing raids in the mobile game, forcing players to optimize their plans by only using one choice rather than a full team. We'll have to wait to see when we get official word from the Pok\u00e9mon Go team. We know these raids are on the way, though, and we'll likely see them before the end of August 2024.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pokemon-sword-and-shield-gigantamax-pikachu.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1306456"}],"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=1306456"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1306456\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1306468,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1306456\/revisions\/1306468"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1262155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1306456"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1306456"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1306456"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1306456"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1306456"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1306456"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1306456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
