Date and Time
- From Saturday, May 10, at 6:00 a.m.
- Until Sunday, May 11, 2025, at 9:00 p.m. local time
A full weekend to take on Dynamax Suicune and make the most of all the bonuses. With this much time, you’ve got plenty of chances to farm items and maybe score that elusive Shiny.
Suicune makes its Dynamax debut in five-star Max Battles! While it’s not the first Legendary to Dynamax, it’s still a treat to see this elegant Water-type in such a towering form. Suicune has always been a symbol of serenity and strength, and now you get to challenge it at its most powerful.
During this event, you’ll be able to gather Max Particles much more efficiently, and powering up Max Moves will cost you a lot less. This makes it the perfect time to fine-tune your team or finally level up that one Pokémon you’ve been working on for ages.
The following bonuses will be active during the event:
-
Max Particle collection limit increased to 1,600 -
1/4 adventuring distance to receive Max Particles* -
8× Max Particles from Power Spots -
3/4 Max Particle cost for Max Moves (active from Monday, May 5, at 6:00 a.m. to Sunday, May 11, 2025, at 9:00 p.m. local time) -
Power Spots will refresh more frequently
Note: The 1/4 adventuring distance bonus requires collecting all Max Particles from the Nearby menu first each day. Adventure Sync helps make sure your steps count!
Starting Monday, May 5 at 6:00 a.m., a free Timed Research will be available. Complete it to earn an encounter with Dynamax Grookey, as well as Grookey Candy, Max Particles, and more.
This cheeky Grass-type starter is a great teammate when going up against a Water-type like Suicune. Plus, it’s a fun opportunity to build up one of the Galar starters if you haven’t already.
Be sure to complete the tasks and claim your rewards before Sunday, May 11, at 9:00 p.m. local time!

Want to team up fast and tackle Suicune without delay? Campfire has your back. Just tap the icon under the compass on your map screen to view nearby Max Battles, flare activity, and meetups. The Campfire Map is your go-to tool for real-time battle coordination, especially during event weekends.
Even if you’re more of a solo player, checking Campfire can help you know when and where to drop in for consistent battles, especially at busy parks or community hotspots.
The Dynamax Suicune Max Battle Weekend Ultra Box is available now in the Pokémon GO Web Store for US$9.99 (or equivalent local pricing). It includes:
1 Max Mushroom
7 Max Particle Packs
If you’re planning to go hard this weekend, this box is a solid jumpstart. The Max Mushroom alone is huge for turning the tide in tough Max Battles, and those Particle Packs will help power up your team quicker and join more lobbies.
With so much going on during this Max Battle Weekend, it’s the perfect time to get involved, whether you’re looking to add Dynamax Suicune to your collection, tackle some extra challenges, or power up your team. Don’t miss out on all the event bonuses and rewards, and be sure to keep an eye on the time-limited research for Dynamax Grookey.
No matter what you’re after, this event has something for everyone. So gear up, stay hydrated, and prepare to Dynamax your gameplay.
