Pokemon Go just released a new event that will change the gameplay for a long time, starting September 10th! This new event is called “Go Big With Dynamax” and this event features Dynamax Pokemon which are Pokemon that appear (usually at businesses) in these things called Power Spots. These power spots give 120 MP (Max Particles) per day. To start you get a quest where you need to complete a few small tasks to get your first Dynamaxed Pokemon. You can hold 800 max particles at a time but just like your item bag you can go a little over and when you do you are rewarded with a Dynamaxed Woolo. You need to go to at least 7 Power spots because you can't get more than 800 Max Particles. If that already did not take you a bit of walking then get ready because you need to walk 2 Kilometers to get a reward of 200 MP. You can get as many free MP as you want (passed 1,000) from walking. You can claim your free MP at the bottom right of your screen. Once you have over 800 MP claim those particles and boom you have 1,000 MP and a chance at a Dynamaxed Woolo. You can also complete a quest that is a bit harder, but it will get you another Dynamax Woolo (a Woolo is a pokemon that will be your first ever Dynamaxed pokemon). Once you have one Or two Dynamaxed Pokemon you can start your adventure of battling Dynamaxed Pokemon! If on your adventure you have seen a few Pokemon in Power spots those are Dynamaxed raids. they are just another Power spot except that when spending 250 MP (depending on the Pokemon) You will be entered into a battle where you can select your Pokemon for battle.
The battles are very straightforward. All you have to do is click the screen a few times and boom your Pokemon is in its Dynamaxed form in this form. It can use Dynamaxed moves which are very powerful. Once defeated the Dynamaxed Pokemon will give you a chance to defeat it but not before letting you leave one of your Dynamaxed Pokemon at the Power spot. When leaving a Pokemon you will earn a progressive income from that Pokemon’s candy which you can use to level it up. Then you can catch that Pokemon you defeated!
If you are stuck with a lot of MP and don’t know what to do with it you can spend it on your Dynamaxed Pokemon. All you need to do is click that Dynamaxed icon on your Pokemon and you can spend candy and MP to level up the Dynamax power.
