Pokemon GO has announced that Dynamax Latios and Dynamax Latias are making their debut during an upcoming Max Battle weekend event. Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon have become increasingly more popular in Pokemon GO, and the game has hinted at some major events for the rest of its Delightful Days season.
Although Max Battles arrived in Pokemon GO in 2024, it wasn't until January 2025 that Legendary Dynamax Pokemon debuted in the AR game. First came the Kanto bird trio with Dynamax Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos starring in five-star Max combats. More recently, during the Might and Mastery season, Pokemon GO debuted Dynamax Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Now, yet another popular set of Legendaries is coming later in July.
