'''[[Dynamax]]''' is a temporary transformation that Pokémon can undergo. Dynamax was introduced to {{g|GO}} on September 4, 2024. Like in the [[core series]], Dynamax grants Pokémon tremendous strength and size and allows them to use powerful moves called [[Max Move]]s. Unlike the core series, only Pokémon caught while Dynamaxed are capable of Dynamaxing; in the {{GO|Pokémon Box}}, these Pokémon have an icon at the top-right of their image.

Dynamax Pokémon appear at {{GO|Power Spot}}s, volatile concentrations of [[Max Particle]]s that change position over time. Players can receive Max Particles by interacting with Power Spots, simply walking, or purchasing them with [[PokéCoin]]s. Like [[Raid Pass]]es, {{GO|Gym}}s, and {{GO|Raid Battle}}s, players can spend Max Particles at Power Spots to participate in [[Max Battle]]s challenging a boss Dynamax Pokémon. Max Particles are only consumed if players are victorious, at which point they can catch the boss Pokémon and station their own Dynamax Pokémon at the Power Spot to assist other players and earn {{GO|Candy}}.

Pokémon capable of Dynamaxing can be used in all battles in the game, but they can only Dynamax during Max Battles. Initially, Dynamax Pokémon only have an attacking Max Move based on the Pokémon's {{GO|Move|Fast Attack}}, but they can also learn {{m|Max Spirit}} and {{m|Max Guard}}. All three moves can also be upgraded twice. Unlocking or upgrading Max Moves costs Max Particles and Candy or Candy XL, depending on the Max Move's level and the Pokémon species.

==Bugs and errors==
*If the player Dynamaxes a Pokémon in the Pokémon Box, swipes to another Pokémon, swipes back to the Dynamax Pokémon, and swipes one more time to the other Pokémon, the other Pokémon may be temporarily visually affected:
**If the Pokémon's species has Dynamax information and the Pokémon is not {{GO|Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved or Primal Reverted}}, it will appear Dynamaxed, whether or not it can actually Dynamax. This also applies to {{GO|Event Pokémon}}.
**If the Pokémon's species does not have Dynamax information, or if the Pokémon is currently Mega Evolved or Primal Reverted, it will appear bigger.
*Players cannot [[Released Pokémon|release]] their last Dynamax Pokémon, but they can [[GO Transporter|transfer]] it to {{g|HOME}}. Doing so will lock the player out of spending Max Particles and participating in Max Battles until they receive another Dynamax Pokémon.
