Pokemon GO Confirms Debut of New Dynamax Pokemon

Key Takeaways

  • 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.

As a seasoned Pokemon GO trainer with years of experience under my belt, I must admit that the latest announcement has me absolutely thrilled! The addition of Dynamax forms for Falinks and Galar starters is a game-changer, and it’s about time these critters joined our roster.


Starting from October 1st, Pokemon GO will introduce four fresh Dynamax Pokemon – Falinks, Scorbunny, Sobble, and Grookey. The long-awaited Dynamax versions are now a reality as part of the new season called “Max Out.” Players can now broaden their collections with these newly introduced creatures.

As a Pokemon GO gamer, I remember vividly when Dynamax Pokemon made their debut during the GO Big event, from September 10th to 15th. On that thrilling occasion, we gamers were given the chance to take on Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Wooloo, and Skwovet in one-star Max Battles! For those of us who managed to catch one or more of these critters, we now have the exciting opportunity to Dynamax them, along with their evolutions, in Max Battles. The event also brought a fresh Field Research reward, offering encounters with the five creatures themselves. And let’s not forget about the precious Max Particles – an essential item for trainers like me to fully participate in this brand-new activity!

Starting October 1, Niantic has unveiled that Scorbunny, Sobble, Grookey, and Falinks are set to join Pokemon GO as new Dynamax forms. Players may come across Scorbunny, Sobble, and Grookey in one-star Max Battles, whereas Falinks can be confronted during three-star Max Battles. Fortunate trainers might stumble upon these creatures in their shiny variant. Additionally, trainers who catch Falinks or the starters from Pokemon Sword and Shield will have the ability to Dynamax them in Max Battles.

In contrast to traditional raids, Max Battles operate using distinct mechanics. To participate, you need to gather Max Particles, utilized for enhancing Max Moves as well. These particles can be acquired through interactions with Power Spots, where Dynamax Pokemon reside, or merely by strolling around. When entering a Max Battle, which supports up to four players, each team is allowed to field a maximum of three Dynamax forms to confront the boss. Unlike raids, these encounters are turn-based, necessitating a more tactical approach.

As September winds down, Pokemon GO trainers can look forward to a plethora of activities to keep them busy. To begin with, the final event of the month, starting on September 26 and ending October 1, will see the introduction of Shiny Zacian in the Legendary Heroes event. Moreover, for the first time ever, Koffing will be able to evolve into Galarian Weezing during this period. Moving onto October, there are several confirmed activities that promise excitement, such as the Sewaddle Community Day on October 5 and the Galarian Expedition event from October 4-11. During this latter event, Zamazenta and Galarian birds will make their debut in their shiny forms.
