Dynamax is a temporary transformation that Pokémon can undergo. Dynamax was introduced to Pokémon 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 Moves. Unlike the core series, only Pokémon caught while Dynamaxed are capable of Dynamaxing; in the Pokémon Box, these Pokémon have an icon at the top-right of their image.
Dynamax Pokémon appear at Power Spots, volatile concentrations of Max Particles that change position over time. Players can receive Max Particles by interacting with Power Spots, simply walking, or purchasing them with PokéCoins. Like Raid Passes, Gyms, and Raid Battles, players can spend Max Particles at Power Spots to participate in Max Battles challenging the 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 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 Fast Attack. The player can spend Max Particles, Candy, and Candy XL to unlock Max Spirit or Max Guard. The player can also spend those resources to upgrade each of the three Max Moves up to Level 3.

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, it will appear Dynamaxed, whether or not it can actually Dynamax. This also applies to 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 release their last Dynamax Pokémon, but they can transfer it to Pokémon HOME. Doing so will lock the player out of spending Max Particles and participating in Max Battles until they receive another Dynamax Pokémon.
