Sizing up the next spot is the newest battle feature to be brought to a Pokémon generation, Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing. This brand new mechanic gives exceptional power to one Pokémon in your party only a limited number of turns.
This new mechanic is certain to shake up the competitive scene and provide a whole new tactical challenge for those trying to make it to the top of the Pokémon world. Even for some more casual fans, this new mechanic will provide a huge boost in power to help push you over the line in that tricky gym battle or Champion showdown that you may struggle with.
This new feature also dishes out plenty of opportunities for cooperative online play as trainers can now team up with their friends and challenge Dynamaxed or Gigantamaxed Pokémon in Max Raid Battles. Gather up to 3 friends and take on these supersized Pokémon to defeat them and catch them for yourself.
