Summary
- Pokemon GO adds new Dynamax forms of Falinks and Galar starters on October 1.
- Players can challenge these critters in Max Battles.
- Max Battles require collecting Max Particles for strategic, turn-based battles.
Pokemon GO has announced the addition of four new Dynamax Pokemon, with Falinks, Scorbunny, Sobble, and Grookey becoming available on October 1. After much anticipation, Pokemon GO has finally brought the Dynamax variants along with the new season aptly named “Max Out,” with players able to expand their collections with new critters.
Dynamax Pokemon first appeared between September 10-15, when Pokemon GO held the GO Big event. On that occasion, trainers were able to challenge Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Wooloo, and Skwovet in one-star Max Battles. For trainers who have gotten one or more of these critters, it will be possible to Dynamax them and their evolutions in Max Battles. The event also included a new Field Research rewarding encounters with the five creatures, and Max Particles, an essential item for trainers to join in this new activity.
Pokemon GO's Raid Boss is Giving Players Nightmares
Pokemon GO launches a new 5-star raid, and the new boss is proving to be a real nightmare for players of the augmented reality game.
Now, Niantic has revealed that Falinks, Scorbunny, Sobble, and Grookey will be the next Dynamax forms joining Pokemon GO on October 1. Players will encounter Scorbunny, Sobble, and Grookey in one-star Max Battles, while Falinks can be challenged in three-star Max Battles. Lucky trainers will have the chance to find these critters in shiny form, and like the first batch of Dynamax critters added to the augmented, trainers who catch Falinks or the Pokemon Sword and Shield starters will be able to Dynamax them in Max Battles.
Pokemon GO Adds Dynamax Forms of Falinks and Galar Starters
While players already know how regular raids work, Max Battles have different mechanics. To join them, it is necessary to collect Max Particles, which are also used to improve Max Moves. Particles are obtained when trainers interact with Power Spots, where Dynamax Pokemon are located, or simply by walking. When entering a Max Battle, which can be done with up to four players, the quartet can have a team of up to three Dynamax forms to challenge the boss. Unlike raids, these battles are turn-based, requiring a more strategic approach.
September is coming to an end, but Pokemon GO trainers will have plenty of activities to keep them engaged. Shiny Zacian will debut in Legendary Heroes, the last event of the month, which starts on September 26 and ends on October 1, and for the first time will allow Koffing to evolve into Galarian Weezing. Meanwhile, October already has exciting activities confirmed, such as the Community Day featuring Sewaddle, which will take place on October 5, and the Galarian Expedition event, which will run from October 4-11 and will see the debuts of Zamazenta and Galarian birds both in shiny form.
