Strategic Tips

Maximize your event success with these strategies:

  • Utilize Max Mushrooms: These items temporarily double your Dynamax/Gigantamax Pokémon's damage in Max Battles. Use multiple for extended boosted damage, though the multiplier itself won't increase.
  • Team Up: Use Campfire to locate Max Battles and connect with other Trainers for collaborative battles.

Pokémon GO is available now.
