Pokemon GO trainers are said to have variety of activities to keep them engaged

Tech Desk - Sep 24, 2024

Pokemon GO has confirmed the integration of four new Dynamax Pokemon, with Falinks, Scorbunny, Sobble, and Grookey becoming available on October 1.

After multiple rumours, Pokemon GO has finally brought the Dynamax variants along with the new season aptly codenamed “Max Out,” with players allowed to extend their collections with new critters.

Initially, Dynamax Pokemon appeared between September 10-15, when Pokemon GO hosted the GO Big event. On that occasion, trainers were capable of challenging Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Wooloo, and Skwovet in one-star Max Battles.

Currently, Niantic has unveiled that Falinks, Scorbunny, Sobble, and Grookey will be the next Dynamax forms joining Pokemon GO on October 1. Players would encounter Scorbunny, Sobble, and Grookey in one-star Max Battles, while Falinks can be challenged in three-star Max Battles.

Lucky trainers are said to have the chance to find these critters in shiny form, and like the first batch of Dynamax critters added to the augmented, trainers who catch Falinks or the Pokemon Sword and Shield starters will be able to Dynamax them in Max Battles.

While players already know how regular raids work, Max Battles have different mechanics. To join them, it is required to collect Max Particles, which are also utilised to enhance Max Moves. Particles are obtained when trainers interact with Power Spots, where Dynamax Pokemon are located, or simply by walking.

When you enter a Max Battle, which can be done with up to four players, the quartet can have a team of up to three Dynamax forms to challenge the boss. Unlike raids, these battles are turn-based, requiring a more strategic approach.

Pokemon GO trainers are claimed to have a variety of activities to keep them engaged. Shiny Zacian will debut in Legendary Heroes, the last event of the month, which starts on September 26 and ends on October 1, and for the first time will allow Koffing to evolve into Galarian Weezing.

Meanwhile, October already has exciting activities confirmed, like the Community Day featuring Sewaddle, which will take place on October 5, and the Galarian Expedition event, which will run from October 4-11 and will see the debuts of Zamazenta and Galarian birds both in shiny form.
