During a Max Monday, the featured Dynamax Pokémon will take over every available Power Spot and accept challenges for a Max Battle, allowing you to catch several specimens in succession – which will hopefully result in finding one with fantastic stats or a rare Shiny form.

Think of it like Raid Hour, but for Max Battles instead of 5-Star Raids. It’s the perfect opportunity to bolster your roster of powerful Dynamax Pokémon.

If you’re not up to date on the Dynamax system quite yet, read our guide on how the Dynamax mechanic works in Pokémon Go.
