GO Big with Dynamax and Gigantamax!

Colossal challenges await with Max Pokémon in Max Battles! Gigantamax Pokémon are emerging in the world of Pokémon GO in special events, and it’s up to Trainers to band together and battle them! These Max Battles are unprecedented in Pokémon GO, and it seems that they can only be won when enough Trainers unite as a team. Reports indicate that groups of 10-40 Trainers should be able to defeat and catch these formidable Power Spot Bosses.

One thing is clear: these are Pokémon GO’s biggest challenges yet. Read on to learn the latest about the Dynamax and Gigantamax phenomenon and prepare.

Don’t forget: Dynamax Pokémon are now among us in the world of Pokémon GO! You can find them at mysterious new Power Spots being discovered across the globe. Rally your friends to take on new Max Battles, catch these gargantuan Pokémon, and unlock the power of Max Particles. The biggest update to Pokémon GO yet is here! Are you ready?

New Max Pokémon: Gigantamax

Band together with up to 39 other Trainers to take on Gigantamax Pokémon in Max Battles, sure to be some of the most epic battles in the world of Pokémon GO. Join the larger group and battle together in groups of four to achieve victory before the Power Spot Boss knocks out your party—and get a chance to catch your own Gigantamax Pokémon!

Gigantamax emergence events

Catch up with the latest research on Gigantamax Pokémon! Gigantamax Pokémon are making their Pokémon GO debuts! You can take them on in Max Battles accompanied by a new piece of featured music inspired by the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games for Nintendo Switch. This piece was arranged by Junichi Masuda (@Junichi_Masuda), Pokémon video game series composer and Chief Creative Fellow of The Pokémon Company!

Gigantamax Pokémon

• Gigantamaxing is a kind of Dynamaxing that certain Pokémon can undergo. When Pokémon Gigantamax, they take on a different appearance in addition to the usual effects observed on Dynamax Pokémon.
• Pokémon with the ability to Gigantamax can be encountered, battled, and caught through Max Battles. They can be found at Power Spots throughout the map.
• Partner with your own Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokémon to defeat Power Spot Bosses!
• Like with Dynamax Pokémon, you can use Candy and Max Particles to unlock Max Moves and level them up for stronger effects! Working on Max Moves will award XP, too.
• Gigantamax Pokémon can learn up to three Max Moves: a unique attack, Max Spirit, and Max Guard.
• While a Pokémon is Gigantamaxed, their first Max Move is a powerful G-Max Move. Each species of Pokémon capable of Gigantamaxing has a unique G-Max Move, which may not be the same type as its Fast Attack.

Gigantamax Max Battles

• Any Trainer with at least one Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokémon in their battle party can take on Max Battles at select Power Spots. Only Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon can be used in Max Battles.
• Up to 40 Trainers, split into groups of four or fewer, can band together to increase their chance of success! Each Trainer must use Max Particles to engage in battle—the more powerful the Power Spot Boss, the more Max Particles needed. But don’t worry—Max Particles are only used up once you successfully take down the boss, so keep pushing towards victory!
• In a Max Battle, tap the screen to use Fast Attacks and build up energy to use Charged Attacks as usual. Attacking will also fill up the meter at the top of the screen.
• Keep an eye on the meter! Once it’s full, your Pokémon will Dynamax or Gigantamax for three turns!
Swipe to dodge the Power Spot Boss’s attacks. A prompt will appear over your Pokémon if it is being targeted, so be ready to dodge!
• If you spot energy icons on the battlefield, swipe to move your Pokémon to collect them and fill up your meter even faster!
• If all of your Pokémon faint while battling, you can still help! You can tap the screen until you can cheer for your teammates, which will fill their meters faster.

What legendary surprises might the unexplored GO Wild Area contain?

Origin Forme Dialga and Origin Forme Palkia will appear in raids during this event, and all Trainers will have a chance to encounter these Pokémon. On top of that, they may come with their signature attacks—Origin Forme Dialga may know the Charged Attack Roar of Time, and Origin Forme Palkia may know the Charged Attack Spacial Rend! Adventure Effects are also reported to occur when these moves are used outside of battle!

Adventure Effects

Adventure Effects are temporary bonuses to help you on your Pokémon GO adventure, activated by powerful Pokémon attacks that may be used outside of battle. Adventure Effects have been reported to occur when Origin Forme Dialga uses Roar of Time, and when Origin Forme Palkia uses Spacial Rend.

Adventure Effect: Roar of Time
Trainers who encounter and defeat Origin Forme Dialga in a Raid Battle have a chance to catch one that knows the Charged Attack Roar of Time.*

Trainers can activate the Adventure Effect associated with Roar of Time by using 5,000 Stardust and 5 Dialga Candy, distorting time for 6 minutes and pausing the timer of the following items: Incense, Daily Adventure Incense, Lucky Eggs, and Star Pieces.

You can extend the timer for Roar of Time’s Adventure Effect in increments of 6 minutes by using more Stardust and Dialga Candy. The timer can be extended up to two hours each time you tap Use, and you can tap Use again to add additional time—up to 24 hours total!

Once Roar of Time ends, the timer on any active items will continue to count down. Roar of Time cannot be active at the same time as any other Adventure Effect.

Adventure Effect: Spacial Rend
Trainers who encounter and defeat Origin Forme Palkia in a Raid Battle have a chance to catch one that knows the Charged Attack Spacial Rend.*

Trainers can activate the Adventure Effect associated with Spacial Rend by using 5,000 Stardust and 5 Palkia Candy, distorting space for 10 minutes and allowing for encounters with wild Pokémon at an increased distance.

You can extend the timer for Spacial Rend’s Adventure Effect in increments of 10 minutes by using more Stardust and Palkia Candy. The timer can be extended up to two hours each time you tap Use, and you can tap Use again to add additional time—up to 24 hours total!

Once Spacial Rend ends, Trainers will only encounter wild Pokémon within normal distance limits. Spacial Rend cannot be active at the same time as any other Adventure Effect.

*At this time, Origin Forme Dialga will be unable to learn Roar of Time via any TM.
*At this time, Origin Forme Palkia will be unable to learn Spacial Rend via any TM.
*Smeargle that appear via surprise encounters in GO Snapshot can learn attacks from the Pokémon they appear with, but Smeargle can’t learn Roar of Time or Spacial Rend.

New footage from Pocket Monsters's new chapter Rayquaza Rising revealed! Opening Theme to be performed by ZEROBASEONE

A new trailer where you can get an early sneak peek of the of the popular anime Pocket Monsters' (airs on the TV Tokyo Network every Friday at 6:55pm, officially abbreviated "Anipoke") new chapter "Rayquaza Rising" has been released.


The trailer shows the Rising Volt Tacklers reunited with Liko, Roy and Dot, suggesting that they're about to set off on a new adventure.


The trailer also shows intense scenes featuring the Six Hero Pokémon Basagiri and the Black Rayquaza, as well as Seille, Sazare and Briar. Liko and the others have grown a lot through their Terastal training in the Paldea region, so the expectations for their battles against the Six Heroes are higher than ever.



We also received news on the opening theme. The opening theme for the new chapter will be "Only One Story", a new original Japanese song sung by the 9-member global boys' group Zerobaseone, representing the hugely popular 5th generation of K-pop.


"Only One Story", an original Japanese song released about 7 months after the group's Japanese debut in March, is a pleasant and cheerful song of encouragement telling people that are setting off on an adventure that everything is going to be okay. It gives Pocket Monsters protagonists Liko and Roy the courage to be able to continue making progress alongside the companions and Pokémon they've met while creating their own unique story.

This very first anime tie-in song from Zerobaseone will be released digitally October 11th, the same day Pocket Monsters Chapter 4, Rayquaza Rising, premieres. Zerobaseone was formed in April last year through the Korean audition show "Boys Planet", and is a 9-member group consisting of Sung Han Bin, Kim Ji Woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae Rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu Vin, Park Gun Wook and Han Yu Jin.

The members of the group were overjoyed as they told us "Pokémon is one of our favorite anime series, and we've been watching it since we were kids. We've always wanted to do an opening theme for it, so we're really happy for this opportunity!" They also said that "this is a really fun song everyone will be able to sing and dance to, so please enjoy it alongside the anime!"

A comment from Zerobaseone:
Pokémon is one of our favorite anime series, and we've been watching it since we were kids. We've always wanted to do an opening theme for it, so we're really happy for this opportunity! Only One Story's chorus is extremely catchy, and we don't think you'll be able to get it out of your heads once you hear it. The end of the chorus also has some really memorable lyrics that go "Nankai mo naitatte kimi nara so daijobu", so make sure to keep your attention on those as well. This is a really fun song everyone will be able to sing and dance to, so please enjoy it alongside the anime!
