The Max Out season kicks off September 10th at 10:00 a.m. local time and runs until September 15th at 8:00 p.m. local time. Prepare for a gigantic influx of Dynamax Pokémon! This season brings not only the thrilling Dynamax feature but also a host of in-game events and rewards. GO big!
Initially, you'll encounter Dynamax Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Skwovet, and Wooloo in 1-star Max Battles. Catch these Dynamax Pokémon (and their evolved forms!) and even encounter shiny variants.
This event also includes special Field Research tasks and exciting PokéStop Showcases, where you can display event-themed Pokémon for a chance at winning rewards.
A special Seasonal Special Research story is also launching on September 3rd at 10:00 a.m. local time and runs until December 3rd, 2024, at 9:59 a.m. local time. Complete Max Battle-focused tasks to earn valuable Max Particles, a new avatar item, and more!

Rumors suggest the arrival of new Power Spots next month, acting as key locations for Max Battles, Dynamax Pokémon encounters, and Max Particle collection. While Niantic hasn't confirmed this yet, stay tuned!
Pokémon GO senior producer John Funtanilla revealed during a press briefing (reported by Eurogamer) that some Dynamax-capable Pokémon will also be able to Mega Evolve. While details on Gigantamax Pokémon remain scarce, Niantic promises more information on Dynamax battles soon. The possibility was teased at this year's Pokémon Worlds.
