A Power Spot is a type of location in Pokémon GO. Unlike other location types, Power Spots are only active for two days, after which they disappear for a time.
In the Map View, Power Spots are marked as purple towers with the Dynamax symbol above them. If the player has not interacted with a Power Spot that day, the top of the tower will be surrounded by Max Particles.
Placement
Power Spots are fixed locations in the real world that players must physically visit to interact with. Power Spots are generally in public locations, including (but not limited to) public artwork/murals, libraries, famous landmarks, churches, police stations, fire stations, and public parks. While players must be physically close to Power Spots to interact with them, they generally do not need to enter the building to be close enough (if the Power Spot is a building).
Unlike PokéStops or Gyms, Power Spots may be based on a set of location data sourced from the Overture Maps Foundation.[1] This has led to Power Spots being placed at locations that no longer exist,[2] interfere with PokeStops,[3] or violate Niantic's own guidelines on location submissions.[4] Power Spots can be reported if they are unsuitable, but the report function is hidden inside the Power Spot tutorial.[5] Power Spots may also be based on other user-created Wayspots from Niantic's Lightship platform that were not previously in use in Pokémon GO but may appear in other games published by Niantic.
Inspecting a Power Spot
If a Power Spot tower is visible in the Map View, it can still be inspected even if it is outside of range.
Max Particles
- Main article: Max Particle
If the Power Spot is within range and has not been interacted with on that day, and the player has not surpassed the daily or carry limits on Max Particles, they will earn 
100, plus a bonus 20 is if it is the first time they have interacted with that Power Spot.
Max Battles
- Main article: Max Battle
Occasionally, a Power Spot may be temporarily taken over by a boss Dynamax Pokémon. Using Max Particles, players can battle the Power Spot Boss as if it were a Raid Battle boss. If victorious, participants will also be given a chance to capture the Dynamax Pokémon and station their own Dynamax Pokémon at the Power Spot to assist other players and earn Candy.
