The Max Out season has officially launched in Pokemon Go, introducing a variety of new Pokemon from the Pokemon Sword & Shield series, alongside Galar’s standout features: Dynamax and Gigantamax.
Part of the Pokemon Go events, titled Go Big and Go Bigger, these thrilling Max Battles allow select Pokemon to grow in size, enhancing their capabilities. However, not all Pokemon have the ability to Dynamax or Gigantamax.
To aid you in battling powerful bosses located at Power Spots globally, here’s a comprehensive list of all the Pokemon that can Dynamax or Gigantamax in Pokemon Go.
Dynamax Pokemon Overview
Bulbasaur
Ranked as number 1 in the Pokedex and cherished by many, Bulbasaur is a Grass/Poison-type Pokemon that utilizes its vine whip attack. The Kanto starters made their first appearance in the 1-Star Max Raids as part of the launch of the Go Big event.
Charmander
This playful Fire-type, Charmander, has an unquenchable thirst for battles. If you plan to face him, bring along strong Water-type Pokemon like Squirtle or Sobble to ensure a successful fight.
Squirtle
Known as the hero in a half shell, Squirtle is a Water-type Pokemon boasting excellent defensive traits. To wear it down and catch one for your collection, use a powerful Grass-type like Grookey.
Skwovet & Greedunt
Prepare to go nuts for Skwovet, the Normal-type squirrel native to Galar. Currently, there are no Fighting-type Dynamax Pokemon available, but Cinderace can unleash Focus Blast to deal effective damage against Skwovet.
Wooloo & Dubwool
This fluffy Normal-type, Wooloo, should be easy to defeat with strong Fighting-type moves or by simply wearing it down. While adorable, its strength is quite limited.
Beldum
The Beldum line was the first new Dynamax Pokemon introduced when this feature launched in September 2024 during the Psychic Spectacular event. A Steel/Psychic-type, Dynamax Beldum is the initial challenge in a 3-Star Max Battle. It’s worth noting that it is vulnerable to Dark, Fire, Ghost, and Ground-type moves, and you can solo this battle if you’re prepared.
Grookey
The Grass-type starter from Galar, Grookey is a mischievous monkey and a charming addition to the Pokedex. Though not as powerful as fully evolved Pokemon like Charizard, taking down this Grass-type with a Fire-type Pokemon will be easier.
Scorbunny
A lively Fire-type starter, Scorbunny possesses immense spirit and cuteness. Defeating him can be accomplished by using Water-type Pokemon, so consider using Blastoise or Sobble for a swift victory.
Sobble
Recognized as the finest Galar starter, Sobble is a Water-type lizard known for its power and shyness. If you wish to include a Dynamax version in your roster, it’s ideal to have a Grass-type partner like Grookey or Venusaur.
Falinks
Joining the game on October 1, 2024, is Dynamax Falinks, a Fighting-type Pokemon hailing from Galar. Trainers can find Falinks through 3-star Max Battles, creating more of a challenge. Catching a Dynamax Beldum will give you an upper hand with its Psychic moves, but otherwise, using a Charizard with Flying-type moves will help you defeat Dynamax Falinks effectively.
Gigantamax Pokemon Details
Gigantamax Venusaur
As the first Pokemon with Gigantamax abilities in Pokemon Go’s Max Battles, trainers will need to form teams of 10 to 40 players for a chance to defeat this formidable creature in 6-Star Max Raids. Utilizing Fire-type Pokemon is the most effective strategy, while Flying, Psychic, and Ice types can also assist in the battle.
Gigantamax Charizard
Similar to Venusaur, Gigantamax Charizard presents its own challenge due to its power. To stand a chance against this beloved Fire/Flying type, assemble a team rich in Water, Electric, or Rock Pokemon.
Gigantamax Blastoise
The third Kanto starter is now available in Pokemon Go, and players eager to defeat this water giant should consider forming a team predominantly comprising Grass and Electric-type Pokemon to exploit Gigantamax Blastoise’s weaknesses.
