Max Battles are a unique mechanic added in September 2024 in Pok\u00e9mon Go, introducing Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon in unique Power Spots. These spots are minor four-player raids in random places in the overworld. Power Spots only appear in a certain location for a few days before disappearing and reappearing somewhere else entirely. You can take part in Max Battles using Max Particles, which you get by walking, interacting with Power Spots, or defeating Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon. If you successfully defeat a Pok\u00e9mon at these Power Spots, you can capture it. You can only use Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon you've already caught to take on Pok\u00e9mon at Power Spots, so it's a good idea to capture a few for future big releases. Since October 2024, Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon have also started to appear during special events. While we won't be sharing the Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon offerings here, be sure to check the events board in your game to know if a Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon is on its way, as you'll need at least 10 trainers locally to take them on. The Pok\u00e9mon on offer in Max Battles changes monthly, with the current offerings including the following. Pok\u00e9mon Go\u00a0Max Battles full schedule this month Max Battle boss Raid schedule dates Can it be Shiny?Dynamax Machop Start: Jan 6 End: Jan. 20 Yes Dynamax Gastly Start: Jan 6 End: Jan. 20 Yes Dynamax Cyroganal Start: Jan 6 End: Feb. 3 Yes Dynamax Wooloo Start: Jan 6 End: Jan 13 + Start: Jan. 27 End: Feb. 3 Yes Dynamax Krabby Start: Jan 6 End: Jan. 20 Yes Dynamax Squirtle Start: Jan 13 End: Jan. 20 Yes Dynamax Charmander Start: Jan. 20 End: Jan. 27 Yes Dynamax Beldum Start: Jan. 20 End: Jan. 27 Yes Dynamax Scorbunny Start: Jan. 20 End: Jan. 27 No ??? Start: Jan. 20 End: Jan. 27 ??? Dynamax Bulbasaur Start: Jan. 27 End: Feb. 3 Yes Dynamax Grookey Start: Jan. 27 End: Feb. 3 No Max Monday Pok\u00e9mon Go full schedule this month On top of the Pok\u00e9mon on the regular schedule, Niantic offers special events known as Max Mondays every Monday of each month. During a set time, Max Pok\u00e9mon spawn in abundance from 6pm to 7pm local time to give trainers the best chance possible at finding specific Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon and increasing the odds of potentially finding a Shiny version, should it be available. The Pok\u00e9mon on offer include the following. Max Battle boss Raid schedule date Can it be Shiny?Dynamax Machop Jan. Yes Dynamax Squirtle Jan. 13 Yes ??? Jan. 20 ??? ??? Jan. 27 ??? ??? Feb. 3 ??? Max Battles are the only way to get Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon, so if you already have a Shiny version of the Pok\u00e9mon on offer, you can't Dynamax it and need to recapture another Shiny from a Max Battle to have a Dyanamax-available Shiny form. We don't like this feature, as it means you must recatch many of the Pok\u00e9mon you might already own to take part in Max Battles, making the Dynamax mechanic feel slightly more tedious. But for now, all we can do is wait to see which other Pok\u00e9mon join the Dynamax lineup over the next few months.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/unnamed-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352728"}],"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\/916"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1352728"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1487896,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352728\/revisions\/1487896"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1352742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1352728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1352728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1352728"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1352728"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1352728"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1352728"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1352728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Max Battles are a unique mechanic added in September 2024 in Pok\u00e9mon Go, introducing Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon in unique Power Spots. These spots are minor four-player raids in random places in the overworld. Power Spots only appear in a certain location for a few days before disappearing and reappearing somewhere else entirely. You can take part in Max Battles using Max Particles, which you get by walking, interacting with Power Spots, or defeating Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon. If you successfully defeat a Pok\u00e9mon at these Power Spots, you can capture it. You can only use Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon you've already caught to take on Pok\u00e9mon at Power Spots, so it's a good idea to capture a few for future big releases. Since October 2024, Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon have also started to appear during special events. While we won't be sharing the Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon offerings here, be sure to check the events board in your game to know if a Gigantamax Pok\u00e9mon is on its way, as you'll need at least 10 trainers locally to take them on. The Pok\u00e9mon on offer in Max Battles changes monthly, with the current offerings including the following.

Dynamax Bulbasaur Start: Jan. 27 End: Feb. 3 Yes Dynamax Grookey Start: Jan. 27 End: Feb. 3 No Max Monday Pok\u00e9mon Go full schedule this month On top of the Pok\u00e9mon on the regular schedule, Niantic offers special events known as Max Mondays every Monday of each month. During a set time, Max Pok\u00e9mon spawn in abundance from 6pm to 7pm local time to give trainers the best chance possible at finding specific Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon and increasing the odds of potentially finding a Shiny version, should it be available. The Pok\u00e9mon on offer include the following. Max Battle boss Raid schedule date Can it be Shiny?Dynamax Machop Jan. Yes Dynamax Squirtle Jan. 13 Yes ??? Jan. 20 ??? ??? Jan. 27 ??? ??? Feb. 3 ??? Max Battles are the only way to get Dynamax Pok\u00e9mon, so if you already have a Shiny version of the Pok\u00e9mon on offer, you can't Dynamax it and need to recapture another Shiny from a Max Battle to have a Dyanamax-available Shiny form. We don't like this feature, as it means you must recatch many of the Pok\u00e9mon you might already own to take part in Max Battles, making the Dynamax mechanic feel slightly more tedious. But for now, all we can do is wait to see which other Pok\u00e9mon join the Dynamax lineup over the next few months.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/unnamed-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352728"}],"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\/916"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1352728"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1487896,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352728\/revisions\/1487896"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1352742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1352728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1352728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1352728"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1352728"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1352728"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1352728"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1352728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
