Niantic has revealed some of the details for the coming Dynamax feature in Pokémon GO through Japanese media such as Famitsu. Do note, elements are subject to change by release implementation next week
In battle when you Dynamax you can use 3 options: Max Guard to protect against damage, a Max Move and Max Spirit which will provide recovery to both your Pokémon and ally Pokémon. Your Pokémon will only have a Max Move at first but Max Guard or Max Spirit will need being taught. Each Dynamax Battle has a limited amount of turns to complete, which means more strategy needs to be implemented.
1 Star Max Battles require 250 Max Particles to enter. You can earn Max Particles by walking to Power Spots. Max Battles are local only and cannot be done remotely.
Only 4 people can participate in Max Battles at one time and you can use only 3 Pokémon and they have to be Dynamax capable to participate. Pokémon can only be Dynamax capable if caught from Max Battles. Dynamax capable Pokémon can be used in all other facets of the game but will be unable to Dynamax during it
You have the ability to upgrade the rewards from Max Battles using Poké Coins. In the example given, you could get an additional Golden Razz Bery, Rare, Candy, Hyper Potion and 10 Premier Balls for 100 Poké Coins
Power Spots, where Max Battles are located, can be found at random locations but don't take over existing Gyms or PokéStops
Max Move performance can be improved using Max Particles and Candy
