The special feature known as Galar’s Dynamax phenomenon is set to appear in Pokemon Go during the Go Big event, taking place from September 10th through to the 15th.

Any Pokemon you capture from these battles can dynamically increase in size using the Dynamax ability when participating in further Max Battles.
