For the first time since thePokémon Sword and Shieldgames, Dynamax Pokémon can be used in Niantic’s mobile title. With new moves for giant creatures like Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, the signature mechanic of the Galar region is setting the stage to shake things up.

You can complete the Special Research story whenever you like since there’s no deadline. With big incentive rewards like encounters with a Dynamax Wooloo and Dynamax Skwovet, claiming and completing these tasks is an opportunity thatPokémon GOplayers won’t want to miss out on.

The first and second batches of the tasks and rewards in theTo The Max!Special Research story require you to explore andcollect Max Particlesbyinteracting with Power Spots.

How To Unlock To The Max! Special Research Story
Earn A Dynamax Band
Pokémon GOplayers can only unlock theTo The Max!Special Research byreaching Trainer Level 13 or above. Once most players do this, they will find the quest unlocked for them automatically. However, if the quest does not become available, I have found a couple of ways to get it to work.
The first method is closing the game and reopening it on your device. A second trick is to find the game’s page on your app store to be sure you’re playing with the current updated version. If not, update the app, and the quest should be available when you next load into the game. By completing all of the aboveTo The Max!Special Research tasks, you’ll be a Dynamax master in no time with thePokémon GOrewards to show for it.
