Max Particle
Max Particles are a currency in Pokémon GO. Their mysterious energy enables Pokémon to Dynamax.[1] Max Particles are found at Power Spots and by walking. Max Particles are used to participate in Max Battles and unlock or level up Max Moves.

Limits
Players can only hold 1,000 at any time, and can only earn 800 each day.
Both of these are soft limits. For example, if a player has earned 780 in a single day and walks 2 km to earn another 300, they will have 1,080. At that point, they cannot earn any more Max Particles since they are over the carry limit. Even if they spend any to go under the carry limit, they will still have to wait until the next day to earn more since they are over the daily earn limit.
