Pokemon Go Max Out season: Dynamax debut, Galar starters, bonuses, and more

Get ready for Galar, as Niantic is lifting the lid on the next season of Pokemon Go events, and the aptly named Max Out brings about the big reveal of Dynamax Battles, the Galar starters, and so much more.

Max Out is all about big battles. With the addition of Dynamax Battles, players now have Dynamax Pokemon to collect, Power Spots to find, and the all-new Max Particles to earn while exploring the globe.

It’s all part of a massive shake-up for the game, so here’s everything we know about the Pokemon Go Max Out season.

Pokemon Go developer Niantic shared our first look at the Max Out season, giving eager Trainers everywhere a glimpse of the gigantic Dynamax Battles, some of the Pokemon players can find at Power Spots, and some of the Galar Pokemon set to arrive alongside this season.

While there are some teases in the Trailer, we at least know that the Pokemon Sword and Shield starters are finally joining Go. Get ready to catch Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, and their evolutions in Pokemon Go.

The Pokemon Go Max Out season runs from September 3, 2024, until December 3, 2024. Like other seasons, and the previous season, Shared Skies, this is around three months of events and challenges, all under one umbrella and overarching theme.

At the time of writing, there is no confirmation on the season after Max Out. Pokemon Go players will likely have to wait until November to get any details on the mobile game’s future.
