In the spin-off games
Pokémon GO
On September 4, 2024, in conjunction with the release of Dynamax in Pokémon GO, the Dynamax Band was added to the game as a reward for completing the Special Research campaign, To the Max!. However, unlike the core series games, it is not required to Dynamax a Pokémon; rather, it is merely for cosmetic purposes.
