Only a handful of Dynamax Pokémon are available at a set time. You can track them down by finding them at Power Spots, but only if you have enough Max Particles.

Here’s a full breakdown of every Dynamax encounter, all event bonuses, and the Field Research tasks available in Pokémon Go‘s Go Big event.

The Power Spots have been vacant up until this point. With the arrival of the Go Big event in Pokémon Go, Power Spots are about to receive Dynamax Pokémon that players can challenge. Up to four players can work together to defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. However, a requirement is to have a Dynamax Pokémon themselves. If you haven’t already, complete the Max Out Special Research, which rewards you with a Dynamax Wooloo to use at Power Spots. The Go Big event will start on Sept. 10 at 10am in your local time zone and goes until Sept. 15 at 8pm.

These are all the Dynamax Pokémon Battles making their debut during the Go Big event in Pokémon Go. We have added an asterisk (*) next to their names to indicate there’s a chance you might encounter a Shiny version of this Pokémon. Niantic has confirmed that players can catch a Shiny Dynamax Pokémon after completing a Power Spot.
