Niantic has announced a brand new event series for Pokémon GO—Max Mondays, a four-week event where players will face off against powerful Dynamax Pokémon. Here’s everything you need to know about this exciting addition to the game.
What are Max Mondays in Pokémon GO?
Starting from November 11, 2024, Max Mondays will take place every Monday evening, featuring special Dynamax battles for one hour. Each week will bring a new Dynamax Pokémon, giving players the chance to challenge and catch these larger-than-life versions of their favorite Pokémon.
Max Mondays Schedule
Max Mondays will run from November 11 to December 2, 2024. Every Monday during this period, players can participate in special raids featuring a Dynamax Pokémon. The battles will occur from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time, and players will need to work together to succeed in these timed raids.
Here’s the lineup for Max Mondays:
- November 11: Dynamax Charmander
- November 18: Dynamax Drilbur
- November 25: Dynamax Bulbasaur
- December 2: Dynamax Squirtle
With only one hour to defeat these powerful Pokémon, you’ll need to plan carefully and bring your strongest team.
How to Prepare for Max Mondays
Since these Dynamax raids can be challenging, it’s highly recommended to team up with other trainers. Niantic suggests using their Campfire app, which helps players find nearby trainers to join forces and take down Dynamax Pokémon. You can access the Campfire app through Niantic’s official channels to enhance your raid experience.
Upcoming Halloween Event
As a reminder, Halloween 2024 Part II will also kick off on October 28, right before Max Mondays begin. This event will feature special Pokémon, including Halloween-themed Froakie and Rowlet, so be sure to check it out.
Conclusion
Max Mondays will bring exciting weekly Dynamax battles to Pokémon GO for four weeks, offering players a unique opportunity to catch rare and powerful Pokémon.
Make sure to mark your calendars for these special raids, team up with fellow trainers, and don’t miss out on the chance to add Dynamax Charmander, Drilbur, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle to your collection.
