How does Dynamax work in Pokémon Go?
Dynamax in Pokémon Go allows players to encounter creatures that feature significant strength and are much larger than the base versions of the creatures.
Each Dynamax Pokémon has a selection of moves known as Max Move.
Players can use Max Particles to obtain new moves ranging from a shielding move to a Max Spirit, Max Guard and a healing move.
Pokémon that can be caught while Dynamaxed are the only ones capable of Dynamaxing during battles. Once a Pokémon's Max Meter has reached its peak, the creature can be Dynamaxed.
