Pokemon GO has officially unveiled Dynamax Pokemon and new Special Research coming to the game. The additions are part of Pokemon GO's Max Out season, which will give players new Field Research Tasks, PokeStop Showcases, and a new avatar item.
With Pokemon GO having been available for mobile phones for over 8 years now, the game has to continually update itself in order to keep players engaged. This is a tricky task for developers at Niantic, as they can't include everything from the most recent mainline Pokemon games all at once, or the mobile title will run out of material and stagnate. As a result, certain unique elements like Dynamax Pokemon haven't previously been available in the game, but that's going to change shortly.
Some Pokemon GO Players Are Getting Free Ultra Beasts
Pokemon GO players are discovering the opportunity to catch free Ultra Beasts are waiting for them in the game, sparking excitement.
Pokemon GO has now revealed which Pokemon will qualify for Dynamax, and the Special Research that will be waiting for players. Starting on September 10 at 10 am and running until September 15 at 8 pm local time, the game will premiere 1-star Max Battles. Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Skwovet, and Wooloo will be making their Pokemon GO Dynamax debut. Pokemon caught from Max Battle encounters can be Dynamaxed in Max Battles, as can their evolved forms. There's also a chance for these encounters to be Shiny.
Pokemon GO Max Out Special Research and More
The new Special Research will be added to the game earlier, and can be claimed anytime between September 3 at 10 am to December 3 at 9:59 am local time. These tasks will be focused on Max Battles, giving players an opportunity to earn Max Particles and a Dynamax Band avatar item. The event will also offer players bonuses for select activities, including 2x XP for winning a Max Battle and 2x XP for spining PokeStops.
Event Field Research will also be available, giving players a chance to encounter the same Pokemon that are getting their Dynamax forms in Max Battles. These encounters also come with a chance for the Pokemon to be Shiny. PokeStop Showcases will give players the chance to enter event-themed Pokemon. Lastly, the shop will be adding a Max Particle Pack Bundle containing 4,800 Max Particles for $7.99, starting on September 8 at 6 pm PDT.
For now, there's no further details on when Gigantamax will be coming to Pokemon GO. Fans will have to wait and see on that, but Dynamax should give players plenty to look forward to in the near future.
