Niantic is expected to implement a monthly rotation of Pokémon in Max Battles, incorporating various event Pokémon throughout. Additionally, “Max Mondays” will occur weekly, resembling a raid hour, where one Pokémon will appear more frequently in power spots from 6-7 p.m.
If you wish to engage in this feature, it’s important to have a strong team of Dynamax Pokémon, as only these Pokémon can participate in Max Raids. Essentially, you’ll be capturing Pokémon to aid in catching even more. For newcomers to Max Battles, there is a “To the Max!” Special Research challenge that provides a Dynamax Wooloo to kick things off.
Below, we’ve compiled a list of the available Dynamax Pokémon that can be obtained from Max Battles in Pokémon Go.
