Initial Dynamax Pokémon and Events:

The season kicks off with 1-star Max Battles featuring Dynamax versions of Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Skwovet, and Wooloo. Catch these powerful Pokémon (and their shiny variants!) to add to your collection. Their evolved forms will also be capable of Dynamaxing. The event also includes special Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases with event-themed rewards.

A special Seasonal Special Research story will be available from September 3rd to December 3rd, offering Max Particles, a new avatar item, and other rewards by completing Max Battle-focused tasks.

Max Particle Bundle and Future Updates:

Rumors suggest the arrival of Power Spots next month, dedicated locations for Max Battles and Max Particle collection. While Niantic hasn't confirmed this, it hints at exciting future developments.

According to Eurogamer, Pokémon GO senior producer John Funtanilla confirmed some Dynamax-capable Pokémon will also be able to Mega Evolve. However, information regarding Gigantamax Pokémon remains scarce, despite being teased at Pokémon Worlds. Niantic promises further details soon.
