Pokemon GO is known to include special variants of Pokemon, such as Legendaries and Mythical Pokemon, Ultra Beasts, Regional Variants, Mega Evolutions, and most recently, Dynamax Pokemon. These additions are often included at the beginning of a new In-game Season, which rotates every three months or so.
With the arrival of the Max Out season in Pokemon GO, Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon are beginning to make an appearance. For this reason, you may begin to wonder which Dynamax Pokemon are available in the game, as well as how and where they can be obtained. All of the information you'll need regarding Dynamax Pokemon and the brand-new Max Battles mechanic has been included in the guide below.

How to Get Dynamax Pokemon in Pokemon GO
To get Dynamax Pokemon in Pokemon GO, Trainers must locate Power Spots. Power Spots are a new on-screen objective that will appear on your local map during adventures, similar to Pokestops and Gyms. Power Spots, when interacted with, can provide the player with Max Particles, which are used to Dynamax eligible Pokemon. In addition to this, Power Spots have a chance to offer Max Battle encounters.
Power Spots do not have set spawn locations, unlike Raids and Pokestops. As they de-spawn and rotate locations every so often, players will need to keep an eye out for them while they are out and about exploring.
Max Battles feature Dynamax Pokemon and operate most similarly to Raid Boss encounters. Players will need to use a team of suitable Pokemon to defeat the Max Battle boss and will gain the opportunity to potentially capture the Pokemon once they have successfully won the battle against these monsters.
In addition to this, players may also be able to meet up and trade with one another to obtain Dynamax Pokemon that they have not yet acquired through Max Battles. However, this is a bit trickier and may be more time-consuming than simply hunting for them yourself, depending on where you live and how many other Pokemon GO players are in your local area. If you're in desperate need of a trade, browsing various Pokemon GO trade forums and places of discussion, such as Reddit, may be worth a look.
