This highly anticipated event, running from 2 pm to 5 pm local time, will introduce the powerful Water-type Pokemon in six-star Max Battles, giving players the thrilling opportunity to encounter a shiny version. To enhance your battle strategy, utilize Max Mushrooms, a unique item that temporarily boosts the damage dealt by your Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon in these intense encounters.

The Max Battle Day event comes packed with a variety of bonuses designed to enrich your gaming experience. Players will benefit from an increased Max Particle collection limit of up to 1600, essential for participating in Max Battles.
