Pokemon Go Max Out Season: Dynamax Introduction, Galar Starters, Rewards & More

Get ready for Galar in Pokémon Go, as players worldwide can now dive into the next season of events, aptly named Max Out, which introduces Dynamax Battles, Galarian starters, and much more.

Fittingly, Max Out focuses on large-scale battles. With the addition of Dynamax Battles, players can now collect Dynamax Pokémon, discover Power Spots, and earn the new Max Particles while exploring the globe.

This new content offers an exciting fresh feel for Pokémon Go, marking a significant shake-up in the game. Here’s everything we know about the Pokémon Go Max Out season.

The Max Out season runs from September 3, 2024, until December 3, 2024. Like previous seasons such as Shared Skies, this is a three-month period filled with events and challenges themed around the Max Out concept.

At this time, there’s no confirmation on what season will follow Max Out, so players will have to wait until November for updates on Pokémon Go’s future.
