What Are Max Battles?

The Pokemon caught through the reward encounter of a Max Battle will have the ability to Dynamax or Gigantamax, just like the one you battled against.

Max Battles take place at Power Spots, Gym-like locations that will appear all over the Pokemon Go map. Once a Power Spot appears, it will remain there for a few days, giving you the chance to participate in that Max Battle.

You will have to choose three different Pokemon to use in a Max Battle, requiring each Pokemon used to have the ability to either Dynamax or Gigantamax. Because of this, you will have the opportunity to Dynamax or Gigantamax the Pokemon you’re battling with, possessing powerful attacks and abilities.
