Every Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon in Pokemon Go right now

The Pokemon Go Max Out season is here, bringing with it a slew of new Pokemon pulled from Pokemon Sword & Shield, as well as the Galar region’s biggest feature: Dynamax.

Arriving as part of the Pokemon Go: Go Big event, these exciting Max Battles make your Pokemon massive, but only certain Pokemon can Dynamax and help you take on the other powerful Dynamax Pokemon waiting for you at Power Spots around the world.

At the time of writing, the more powerful Gigantamax forms are yet to be revealed, but that doesn’t mean players should skip out on bagging themselves some powerful Pocket Monsters and get ready to supersize them in these thrilling new battles.

Every Dynamax Pokemon

The Pokemon Company/Dexerto

Bulbasaur, Ivysaur & Venusaur

Number 1 in the Pokedex and in our hearts, Bulbasaur is a Grass/Poison-type Pokemon that (vine) whips. The Kanto starters are appearing in One-Star Max Raids when the Pokemon Go: Go Big event starts, so look forward to finding them at Power Spots around the globe.

Charmander, Charmeleon & Charizard

Cheeky chappy Charmander is a Fire-type with a burning desire to battle. If you want to take it down, be sure to bring some strong Water-type Pokemon like Squirtle or Sobble.

Squirtle, Wartortle & Blastoise

The hero in a half shell, Squirtle is a Water-type Pokemon with some great defensive capabilities. Bring a strong Grass-type like Grookey to whittle down its health and catch one for yourself.

Skwovet & Greedunt

Get ready to go nuts for Skwovet, the Normal-type squirrel from Galar. While there are no Fighting-type Dynamax Pokemon yet, Cinderace can use Focus Blast to deal super-effective damage against Skwovet.

Wooloo & Dubwool

Another Normal-type and an adorable fluffy cloud, Wooloo should be simple to take down with some powerful Fighting-type moves, or by just grinding it down. It’s cute, but it’s not very strong.

The Pokemon Company/Dexerto

Beldum, Metang & Metagross

The first new Dynamax Pokemon to be added after the feature was introduced was the Beldum line, which was introduced in September 2024’s Psychic Spectacular event. The Steel/Psychic-type family is known for being powerful, and Dynamax Beldum is the first Pokemon to be fought in a three-Star Max Battle.

Fortunately, Beldum is weak to Dark, Fire, Ghost, and Ground moves, and it’s possible to solo the battle.

Every upcoming Dynamax Pokemon

The next Dynamax Pokemon joining the game will be the Galar starters: Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. They will be added on October 1, 2024 along with Falinks.

Grookey

Galar’s Grass-type starter, Grookey is one cheeky monkey and an adorable addition to the Pokedex. These first-stage evolutions aren’t quite as powerful as the likes of Charizard, but if you want to make things easier, take down this Grass-type with a Fire-type like Charizard.

Scorbunny

A brilliant bunny full of spark, Scorbunny is the Fire-type starter for Galar and is also just very cute. Use some Water-type Pokemon to take him down, so bring yourself a Blastoise or Sobble and you can defeat this hectic hare in no time.

Sobble

Objectively the best Galar starter, Sobble is a Water-type lizard who is as powerful as he is shy. If you want to add a Dynamax version to your party, be sure to bring a Grass-type Pokemon like Grookey or Venusaur.

Falinks

Niantic

Also joining Pokemon Go on October 1, 2024 is Dynamax Falinks, a Fighting-type from the Galar region. Falinks will be caught from three-star Max Battles, presenting more of a challenge for trainers.

If you managed to catch a Dynamax Beldum, its Psychic moves should give you an advantage here. Otherwise, a Charizard with Flying-type moves is your best bet for taking Dynamax Falinks down with super-effective attacks.

Every Gigantamax form in Pokemon Go

At the time of writing, neither Niantic nor The Pokemon Company have hinted towards Gigantamax forms becoming available in Pokemon Go. However, the addition of Dynamax means that these special giant forms are more likely, as Gigantamax is an extension of the Dynamax mechanic.

If or when Niantic confirms Gigatamax forms are coming to Pokemon Go, we will update this guide accordingly.

That’s all we have on the Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon currently in Pokemon Go but check back regularly for more updates. For now, be sure to check out our guides to ongoing events such as the Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour and Community Day.
