These are similar to the standard Raids and Mega Raids you can find at Gyms, but distinct differences make these activities unique. You'll want to know everything before diving into a Dynamax Battle. Tracking them down will be a key objective, and you need to know what Pok\u00e9mon you can use in these activities, how many players you can bring with you, and how to activate them. Here's what you need to know about how Dynamax Battles work in Pok\u00e9mon Go. How to start Dynamax Battles in Pok\u00e9mon Go You can find a Dynamax Battle by visiting a Power Spot. A Power Spot in Pok\u00e9mon Go is similar to a Pok\u00e9Stop or a Gym, but it's a location that appears before disappearing after the timer at the landmark reaches zero. Power Spots appear in different places than you've discovered them previously, unlike Pok\u00e9Stops or Gyms. If you find a Power Spot, there should be a Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon protecting it you can battle. You can start this fight if you have enough Max Particles. Max Particles are a unique resource added alongside Power Spots and Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon. You can get them by interacting with a Power Spot or purchasing them from Pok\u00e9mon Go's store using Niantic's exclusive bundles. You can only acquire a set amount of Max Particles daily before waiting to gather more. If you have enough, you can start a battle against a Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon with up to three other players with you. What to do during Dynamax Battles in Pok\u00e9mon Go When participating in a Dynamax Battle, you can only use Pok\u00e9mon with a Dynamax Form. Only a handful of Pok\u00e9mon can undergo this transformation in Pok\u00e9mon Go at the start of the Max Out season, but these will expand as the feature remains in the mobile game. Only Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Skwovet, and Wooloo can use these transformations and their evolution forms right now. During a Dynamax Battle, you and your allies cooperate to defeat the Pok\u00e9mon defending the Power Spot. The battle is broken up into turns; all players have to choose what attacks to use during this battle. Players can attack the Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon or collect energy on the field. When everyone on your team has enough power, all Pok\u00e9mon on your side can go through the Dynamax evolution for three turns. Your Pok\u00e9mon have unique attacks while in their Dynamax form. They can use Max Attack, Max Spirit, and Max Guard. Max Attack focuses on damaging the Pok\u00e9mon your team is attempting to defeat using the Pok\u00e9mon's fast attack. Using Max Spirit heals all Pok\u00e9mon in your team, potentially giving your side a better chance of winning. Finally, Max Guard reduces the damage from the next incoming attack, potentially saving your Pok\u00e9mon. Dynamax Battles have no timers in Pok\u00e9mon Go, which means the fight is over if everyone on your team is knocked out or you defeat the Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon. When you complete the battle, you can leave the Pok\u00e9mon you used during the fight at the Power Spot, where they can assist other players and provide Candies for you. How to power up Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon in Pok\u00e9mon Go Your Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon's Max Moves can become more powerful, making them even stronger in future Dynamax Battles. You can\u00a0empower these attacks\u00a0by using Candies and Max Particles. We recommend focusing on the one Pok\u00e9mon you can plan to always use in Dynamax Battles if you want to earn the best rewards, taking on the tougher Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon stationed at Power Spots. All Pok\u00e9mon that can Dynamax in Pok\u00e9mon Go should have the move Max Attack unlocked. However, you must spend Candies and Max Particles to unlock Max Spirit and Max Guard, which are exceptionally helpful in these encounters.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/How-Dynamax-battles-work-in-Pokemon-Go.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1331239"}],"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=1331239"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1331239\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1331965,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1331239\/revisions\/1331965"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1331246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1331239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1331239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1331239"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1331239"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1331239"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1331239"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1331239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

These are similar to the standard Raids and Mega Raids you can find at Gyms, but distinct differences make these activities unique. You'll want to know everything before diving into a Dynamax Battle. Tracking them down will be a key objective, and you need to know what Pok\u00e9mon you can use in these activities, how many players you can bring with you, and how to activate them. Here's what you need to know about how Dynamax Battles work in Pok\u00e9mon Go. How to start Dynamax Battles in Pok\u00e9mon Go You can find a Dynamax Battle by visiting a Power Spot. A Power Spot in Pok\u00e9mon Go is similar to a Pok\u00e9Stop or a Gym, but it's a location that appears before disappearing after the timer at the landmark reaches zero. Power Spots appear in different places than you've discovered them previously, unlike Pok\u00e9Stops or Gyms. If you find a Power Spot, there should be a Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon protecting it you can battle. You can start this fight if you have enough Max Particles. Max Particles are a unique resource added alongside Power Spots and Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon. You can get them by interacting with a Power Spot or purchasing them from Pok\u00e9mon Go's store using Niantic's exclusive bundles. You can only acquire a set amount of Max Particles daily before waiting to gather more. If you have enough, you can start a battle against a Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon with up to three other players with you. What to do during Dynamax Battles in Pok\u00e9mon Go When participating in a Dynamax Battle, you can only use Pok\u00e9mon with a Dynamax Form. Only a handful of Pok\u00e9mon can undergo this transformation in Pok\u00e9mon Go at the start of the Max Out season, but these will expand as the feature remains in the mobile game. Only Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Skwovet, and Wooloo can use these transformations and their evolution forms right now. During a Dynamax Battle, you and your allies cooperate to defeat the Pok\u00e9mon defending the Power Spot. The battle is broken up into turns; all players have to choose what attacks to use during this battle. Players can attack the Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon or collect energy on the field. When everyone on your team has enough power, all Pok\u00e9mon on your side can go through the Dynamax evolution for three turns. Your Pok\u00e9mon have unique attacks while in their Dynamax form. They can use Max Attack, Max Spirit, and Max Guard. Max Attack focuses on damaging the Pok\u00e9mon your team is attempting to defeat using the Pok\u00e9mon's fast attack. Using Max Spirit heals all Pok\u00e9mon in your team, potentially giving your side a better chance of winning. Finally, Max Guard reduces the damage from the next incoming attack, potentially saving your Pok\u00e9mon. Dynamax Battles have no timers in Pok\u00e9mon Go, which means the fight is over if everyone on your team is knocked out or you defeat the Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon. When you complete the battle, you can leave the Pok\u00e9mon you used during the fight at the Power Spot, where they can assist other players and provide Candies for you. How to power up Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon in Pok\u00e9mon Go Your Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon's Max Moves can become more powerful, making them even stronger in future Dynamax Battles. You can\u00a0empower these attacks\u00a0by using Candies and Max Particles. We recommend focusing on the one Pok\u00e9mon you can plan to always use in Dynamax Battles if you want to earn the best rewards, taking on the tougher Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon stationed at Power Spots. All Pok\u00e9mon that can Dynamax in Pok\u00e9mon Go should have the move Max Attack unlocked. However, you must spend Candies and Max Particles to unlock Max Spirit and Max Guard, which are exceptionally helpful in these encounters.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/How-Dynamax-battles-work-in-Pokemon-Go.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1331239"}],"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=1331239"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1331239\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1331965,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1331239\/revisions\/1331965"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1331246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1331239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1331239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1331239"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1331239"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1331239"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1331239"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1331239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
