'''Dynamax''' (Japanese: '''ダイマックス''' ''Daimax'') is a temporary transformation affecting Pokémon that was introduced in [[Generation VIII]] | '''Dynamax''' (Japanese: '''ダイマックス''' ''Daimax'') is a temporary transformation affecting Pokémon that was introduced in and is exclusive to the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}}. | ||
== | ==Terminology== | ||
Dynamax | A Pokémon under the effects of Dynamax may have "'''Dynamax'''" in front of their species name e.g. "Dynamax Bulbasaur". The process itself always describes the Pokémon as having "'''Dynamaxed'''" in past tense, or will "'''Dynamax'''" in future tense. Pokémon actively undergoing Dynamax are described as "'''Dynamaxing'''". | ||
== | ==Origin== | ||
The Dynamax mechanic was inspired by the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s TV Mode, which can be used to display the game on a much larger screen, and would therefore better accommodate large Pokémon.<ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/recruit/projectstory-pokemon/ プロジェクトストーリー1|採用情報|GAME FREAK 株式会社ゲームフリーク]</ref> Battles between Dynamaxed Pokémon and the [[Pokémon Den]]s in which Dynamax Pokémon reside were both inspired by the {{wp|Giant's Causeway}}, a collection of basalt columns in {{wp|Northern Ireland}} believed to be created by a giant in {{wp|Celtic mythology}}.<ref>[https://assets.pokemon.com/assets/cms2/pdf/video-game/sword-shield/Galar_Tour_Brochure_US.pdf Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Galar Expedition Guide, page 8]</ref> | |||
==In the core series games== | |||
{{pkmn|Trainer}}s who obtain a [[Dynamax Band]] are able to Dynamax their Pokémon. According to [[Professor Magnolia]], the Pokémon distorts space to change its size while affecting the world around them. This transformation has another special variant known as [[Gigantamax]]. | |||
===History=== | |||
After its defeat thousands of years ago by {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}, {{p|Eternatus}}'s energy leaked out during its slumber in the form of [[Galar particle]]s. This resulted in the creation of {{cat|Power Spots}}, where Trainers can trigger the Dynamax transformation. Some Power Spots had Gym Stadiums built over them, and others in the [[Wild Area]] became [[Pokémon Den]]s, where [[Max Raid Battle]]s take place. Parts of Eternatus's body, known as [[Wishing Star]]s, rained across [[Galar]], allowing whoever found them to Dynamax their Pokémon when at a Power Spot. [[Dynamax Band]]s were later created by [[Oleana]] to help anyone fully utilize the transformation there. Dynamax was later implemented into the [[Galar League]]'s Gym Battles by [[Rose]] who had most of the [[Gym]]s built atop of the {{cat|Power Spots}}.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/story/pokemon-league/</ref> [[Max Mushrooms]] and [[Max Honey]] are grown and created exclusively on the [[Isle of Armor]] due to the Dynamax phenomenon affecting the flora and {{p|Vespiquen}} producing it. | |||
===Effects=== | |||
Dynamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically, as well as changing the moves of the Pokémon and increasing their max and current [[HP]] in battle according to their Dynamax level (except for {{p|Shedinja}}), but can only be used once during a battle, and ends after three turns or if the Pokémon is switched out. In addition, it can only be performed in areas known to have {{cat|Power Spots}}, such as [[Galar]]'s [[Gym|Gym Stadiums]], [[Master Dojo|Battle Court]], and {{gal|Battle Tower}}. When Dynamaxed, all of the Pokémon's [[move]]s will turn into [[Max Move]]s that correspond to those moves' [[type]]s and categories. Like with [[Mega Evolution]], Dynamax is activated at the start of the turn before all other moves are executed. If a Dynamax Pokémon runs out of [[PP]] of one move, it still can be selected but fails; if it is unable to use any moves (e.g., running out of PP), it will use {{m|Struggle}}. | |||
In a [[Max Raid Battle]], the wild Pokémon is a Dynamax Pokémon for the entire duration of the battle. Only one of the Trainers' Pokémon can Dynamax during a Max Raid Battle, and only for the standard three turns. The first Trainer with the chance to Dynamax is the host, with the chance passing to the next player who joined until it returns to the first player. | |||
{{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and {{p|Eternatus}}, including Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into one of these, cannot Dynamax. | |||
====Gigantamax==== | |||
{{main|Gigantamax}} | |||
If a Pokémon has the Gigantamax Factor, it can undergo Gigantamax, a special kind of Dynamax that results in a different appearance to its regular form in addition to being larger. Only specific individual members of a select group of species can Gigantamax. Each Gigantamax Pokémon has an exclusive Max Move known as a [[G-Max Move]]. Other than having a G-Max Move, Gigantamax is functionally identical to a Dynamax. | |||
====Dynamax Level and HP==== | |||
Dynamaxing provides Pokémon with an increase to its maximum and current HP (with the exception of Shedinja) by the same factor. The amount of HP gained depends on the Pokémon's Dynamax Level, which can be increased with [[Dynamax Candy]]. At Dynamax Level 0, a Pokémon will gain 50% more HP. For every Dynamax Level above that, the Pokémon will gain 5% more HP, up to a 100% HP increase at Dynamax Level 10. All other [[stat]]s, as well as its [[Ability]] and [[held item]], remain the same. | |||
Whenever a Pokémon enters into or reverts from Dynamax, its current HP is adjusted to retain the same percentage of HP remaining, the Pokémon's HP will be rounded up to the nearest whole number if the Pokémon's HP is not already a whole number. For instance, if a Pokémon at Dynamax Level 10 has 100/200 HP remaining, then upon Dynamaxing, its HP will be adjusted to 200/400. Conversely, if the same Pokémon has 101/400 HP in Dynamax form, then when its Dynamax expires, its HP will be adjusted down to 50.5/200 then be rounded up to 51/200. | |||
=====HP-based effects===== | |||
When calculating changes in HP (damage or restoration) based on the percentage of a Pokémon's maximum HP, the Dynamax Pokémon's non-Dynamax HP is used. For example: | |||
* {{m|Super Fang}} inflicts damage to a Dynamax Pokémon equal to 50% of its non-Dynamax HP. | |||
* A held [[Figy Berry]] will restore HP equal to 1/3 of the Dynamax Pokémon's non-Dynamax maximum HP. | |||
* {{m|Endeavor}} inflicts damage equal to the amount that the target's non-Dynamax HP exceeds the user's non-Dynamax HP. | |||
* {{m|Pain Split}} averages the two Pokémon's non-Dynamax HP, calculates the {{wp|Sign (mathematics)|signed}} difference between that average and each Pokémon's non-Dynamax HP, then changes each Pokémon's HP by that signed difference. | |||
Effects that vary based on the percentage of HP a Pokémon has remaining use the Dynamax Pokémon's Dynamax HP. For example: | |||
* {{a|Emergency Exit}} activates when the Dynamax Pokémon's current Dynamax HP falls to 50% or less of its maximum Dynamax HP. | |||
* A Pokémon will consume its held [[Figy Berry]] when its HP falls to 25% or less of its maximum Dynamax HP. | |||
* {{m|Brine}}'s [[power]] is increased if a target Dynamax Pokémon's current Dynamax HP is 50% or less of its maximum Dynamax HP. | |||
The moves {{m|Dynamax Cannon}}, {{m|Behemoth Blade}}, and {{m|Behemoth Bash}} do double damage against a Dynamax Pokémon. | |||
====Immunities==== | |||
Dynamax Pokémon are immune to [[flinch]]ing. {{m|Fake Out}} can still damage a Dynamax Pokémon, but will have no secondary effect. | |||
Dynamax Pokémon are unaffected by {{cat|moves affected by weight}} (such as {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Heavy Slam}}), [[one-hit knockout move]]s, and {{m|Destiny Bond}}. | |||
Moves and Abilities that replace the target's [[Ability]] with the user's (such as {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, and {{a|Wandering Spirit}}) have no effect on Dynamax Pokémon. However, moves that {{cat|Ability-changing moves|change or suppress}} the Dynamax Pokémon's Ability altogether (such as {{m|Gastro Acid}} and {{m|Worry Seed}}) still work. | |||
Dynamax Pokémon cannot be switched out by the effects of {{cat|moves that switch the target out}} (like {{m|Roar}} and {{m|Whirlwind}}). {{m|Circle Throw}} and {{m|Dragon Tail}} will still damage Dynamax Pokémon without switching it out. [[Red Card]] also fails to switch out a Dynamax Pokémon, but is still activated and consumed. Dynamax Pokémon can still be forced out by their own Abilities or items, such as {{a|Emergency Exit}} or an [[Eject Button]]. If a Dynamax Pokémon has {{a|Magic Bounce}} and is targeted by {{m|Parting Shot}}, the move will be reflected and force the Dynamax Pokémon to switch out (the owner of the Dynamax Pokémon is still able to choose the Pokémon that it is replaced with). | |||
Dynamax Pokémon cannot be affected by {{m|Disable}} or {{a|Cursed Body}}. A Max Move or G-Max Move can still be used if its base move was disabled prior to Dynamax. Dynamax Pokémon are also immune to {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Torment}}, and {{m|Instruct}}. [[Choice Band]], [[Choice Scarf]], [[Choice Specs]], {{a|Gorilla Tactics}}, and {{a|Sheer Force}} temporarily stop working (including the stat boosts) if the holder is Dynamaxed. However, [[Assault Vest]] still works accordingly and prevents the holder from using {{m|Max Guard}}. | |||
In addition to the above, there are certain moves that will fail if used during a Max Raid Battle, but will work against a Dynamax Pokémon otherwise. | |||
:''See also: [[Max Raid Battle#Battle|Max Raid Battle → Battle]]'' | |||
====Effects on Transformed Pokémon==== | |||
If {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}} is used against a Dynamax Pokémon, only its base form and base moves will be copied, and the user can Dynamax separately. The Gigantamax Factor, however, is not copied at all; instead, the user can only achieve the standard Dynamax form. Additionally, if a Pokémon incapable of Dynamax (e.g., {{p|Zacian}}) is copied, then the user will not be able to Dynamax afterwards. If a Pokémon attempts to copy a Max Move (e.g., using {{m|Copycat}}), it will copy the base move of that Max Move. | |||
====Move animations==== | |||
{{incomplete|section|Move images, whether {{m|Doom Desire}}'s animation is replaced}} | |||
All moves used on Dynamaxed Pokémon have generic animations. These depend on type if the move is a damaging move, but all status moves use one of two different animations: either when the move targets the user (which is only possible for bosses in [[Max Raid Battle]]s), or when the move targets another Pokémon. | |||
This does not affect the animations for {{m|Behemoth Blade}}, {{m|Behemoth Bash}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, Max Moves, or G-Max Moves. For {{cat|moves with a charging turn}}, the animation for the charging turn only is not replaced. | |||

Certain [[sync pair]]s are capable of Dynamaxing, including some Trainers that do not have Dynamax Bands in the [[core series]]. Most sync pairs [[Gigantamax]] their Pokémon instead, with Sygna Suit Leon being the only one to [[Eternamax]]. All attacking max moves have 400-540 power range. The max move can be used once per battle. | |||

Dynamax (Japanese: ダイマックス Daimax) is a temporary transformation affecting Pokémon that was introduced in and is exclusive to the Generation VIII games Pokémon Sword and Shield.
Terminology
A Pokémon under the effects of Dynamax may have "Dynamax" in front of their species name e.g. "Dynamax Bulbasaur". The process itself always describes the Pokémon as having "Dynamaxed" in past tense, or will "Dynamax" in future tense. Pokémon actively undergoing Dynamax are described as "Dynamaxing".
Origin
The Dynamax mechanic was inspired by the Nintendo Switch's TV Mode, which can be used to display the game on a much larger screen, and would therefore better accommodate large Pokémon.[1] Battles between Dynamaxed Pokémon and the Pokémon Dens in which Dynamax Pokémon reside were both inspired by the Giant's Causeway, a collection of basalt columns in Northern Ireland believed to be created by a giant in Celtic mythology.[2]
In the core series games
Trainers who obtain a Dynamax Band are able to Dynamax their Pokémon. According to Professor Magnolia, the Pokémon distorts space to change its size while affecting the world around them. This transformation has another special variant known as Gigantamax.
History
After its defeat thousands of years ago by Zacian and Zamazenta, Eternatus's energy leaked out during its slumber in the form of Galar particles. This resulted in the creation of Power Spots, where Trainers can trigger the Dynamax transformation. Some Power Spots had Gym Stadiums built over them, and others in the Wild Area became Pokémon Dens, where Max Raid Battles take place. Parts of Eternatus's body, known as Wishing Stars, rained across Galar, allowing whoever found them to Dynamax their Pokémon when at a Power Spot. Dynamax Bands were later created by Oleana to help anyone fully utilize the transformation there. Dynamax was later implemented into the Galar League's Gym Battles by Rose who had most of the Gyms built atop of the Power Spots.[3] Max Mushrooms and Max Honey are grown and created exclusively on the Isle of Armor due to the Dynamax phenomenon affecting the flora and Vespiquen producing it.
Effects
Dynamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically, as well as changing the moves of the Pokémon and increasing their max and current HP in battle according to their Dynamax level (except for Shedinja), but can only be used once during a battle, and ends after three turns or if the Pokémon is switched out. In addition, it can only be performed in areas known to have Power Spots, such as Galar's Gym Stadiums, Battle Court, and Battle Tower. When Dynamaxed, all of the Pokémon's moves will turn into Max Moves that correspond to those moves' types and categories. Like with Mega Evolution, Dynamax is activated at the start of the turn before all other moves are executed. If a Dynamax Pokémon runs out of PP of one move, it still can be selected but fails; if it is unable to use any moves (e.g., running out of PP), it will use Struggle.
In a Max Raid Battle, the wild Pokémon is a Dynamax Pokémon for the entire duration of the battle. Only one of the Trainers' Pokémon can Dynamax during a Max Raid Battle, and only for the standard three turns. The first Trainer with the chance to Dynamax is the host, with the chance passing to the next player who joined until it returns to the first player.
Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus, including Pokémon transformed into one of these, cannot Dynamax.
Gigantamax
- Main article: Gigantamax
If a Pokémon has the Gigantamax Factor, it can undergo Gigantamax, a special kind of Dynamax that results in a different appearance to its regular form in addition to being larger. Only specific individual members of a select group of species can Gigantamax. Each Gigantamax Pokémon has an exclusive Max Move known as a G-Max Move. Other than having a G-Max Move, Gigantamax is functionally identical to a Dynamax.
Dynamax Level and HP
Dynamaxing provides Pokémon with an increase to its maximum and current HP (with the exception of Shedinja) by the same factor. The amount of HP gained depends on the Pokémon's Dynamax Level, which can be increased with Dynamax Candy. At Dynamax Level 0, a Pokémon will gain 50% more HP. For every Dynamax Level above that, the Pokémon will gain 5% more HP, up to a 100% HP increase at Dynamax Level 10. All other stats, as well as its Ability and held item, remain the same.
Whenever a Pokémon enters into or reverts from Dynamax, its current HP is adjusted to retain the same percentage of HP remaining, the Pokémon's HP will be rounded up to the nearest whole number if the Pokémon's HP is not already a whole number. For instance, if a Pokémon at Dynamax Level 10 has 100/200 HP remaining, then upon Dynamaxing, its HP will be adjusted to 200/400. Conversely, if the same Pokémon has 101/400 HP in Dynamax form, then when its Dynamax expires, its HP will be adjusted down to 50.5/200 then be rounded up to 51/200.
HP-based effects
When calculating changes in HP (damage or restoration) based on the percentage of a Pokémon's maximum HP, the Dynamax Pokémon's non-Dynamax HP is used. For example:
- Super Fang inflicts damage to a Dynamax Pokémon equal to 50% of its non-Dynamax HP.
- A held Figy Berry will restore HP equal to 1/3 of the Dynamax Pokémon's non-Dynamax maximum HP.
- Endeavor inflicts damage equal to the amount that the target's non-Dynamax HP exceeds the user's non-Dynamax HP.
- Pain Split averages the two Pokémon's non-Dynamax HP, calculates the signed difference between that average and each Pokémon's non-Dynamax HP, then changes each Pokémon's HP by that signed difference.
Effects that vary based on the percentage of HP a Pokémon has remaining use the Dynamax Pokémon's Dynamax HP. For example:
- Emergency Exit activates when the Dynamax Pokémon's current Dynamax HP falls to 50% or less of its maximum Dynamax HP.
- A Pokémon will consume its held Figy Berry when its HP falls to 25% or less of its maximum Dynamax HP.
- Brine's power is increased if a target Dynamax Pokémon's current Dynamax HP is 50% or less of its maximum Dynamax HP.
The moves Dynamax Cannon, Behemoth Blade, and Behemoth Bash do double damage against a Dynamax Pokémon.
Immunities
Dynamax Pokémon are immune to flinching. Fake Out can still damage a Dynamax Pokémon, but will have no secondary effect.
Dynamax Pokémon are unaffected by moves affected by weight (such as Low Kick and Heavy Slam), one-hit knockout moves, and Destiny Bond.
Moves and Abilities that replace the target's Ability with the user's (such as Skill Swap, Entrainment, and Wandering Spirit) have no effect on Dynamax Pokémon. However, moves that change or suppress the Dynamax Pokémon's Ability altogether (such as Gastro Acid and Worry Seed) still work.
Dynamax Pokémon cannot be switched out by the effects of moves that switch the target out (like Roar and Whirlwind). Circle Throw and Dragon Tail will still damage Dynamax Pokémon without switching it out. Red Card also fails to switch out a Dynamax Pokémon, but is still activated and consumed. Dynamax Pokémon can still be forced out by their own Abilities or items, such as Emergency Exit or an Eject Button. If a Dynamax Pokémon has Magic Bounce and is targeted by Parting Shot, the move will be reflected and force the Dynamax Pokémon to switch out (the owner of the Dynamax Pokémon is still able to choose the Pokémon that it is replaced with).
Dynamax Pokémon cannot be affected by Disable or Cursed Body. A Max Move or G-Max Move can still be used if its base move was disabled prior to Dynamax. Dynamax Pokémon are also immune to Encore, Torment, and Instruct. Choice Band, Choice Scarf, Choice Specs, Gorilla Tactics, and Sheer Force temporarily stop working (including the stat boosts) if the holder is Dynamaxed. However, Assault Vest still works accordingly and prevents the holder from using Max Guard.
In addition to the above, there are certain moves that will fail if used during a Max Raid Battle, but will work against a Dynamax Pokémon otherwise.

Effects on Transformed Pokémon
If Transform or Imposter is used against a Dynamax Pokémon, only its base form and base moves will be copied, and the user can Dynamax separately. The Gigantamax Factor, however, is not copied at all; instead, the user can only achieve the standard Dynamax form. Additionally, if a Pokémon incapable of Dynamax (e.g., Zacian) is copied, then the user will not be able to Dynamax afterwards. If a Pokémon attempts to copy a Max Move (e.g., using Copycat), it will copy the base move of that Max Move.
Move animations
This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Move images, whether Doom Desire's animation is replaced |
All moves used on Dynamaxed Pokémon have generic animations. These depend on type if the move is a damaging move, but all status moves use one of two different animations: either when the move targets the user (which is only possible for bosses in Max Raid Battles), or when the move targets another Pokémon.
This does not affect the animations for Behemoth Blade, Behemoth Bash, Future Sight, Max Moves, or G-Max Moves. For moves with a charging turn, the animation for the charging turn only is not replaced.

In the TCG
Dynamax is featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game as . It was added as a new mechanic to the game in the Sword & Shield expansion (the Sword and Shield sets in Japan).
Released along with the first Pokémon V cards, Pokémon VMAX introduce the Dynamax and Gigantamax mechanics into the Trading Card Game. Pokémon VMAX evolve from their respective Pokémon V, giving them boosted Hit Points and more powerful attacks. When a Pokémon VMAX is knocked out, the opponent takes three Prize cards instead of one.
All released Pokémon VMAX have one or two attacks, as well as the possibility of an Ability. One of those attacks is a Max Move, which has no rules inherent to it but starts with the word "Max". While keeping the same layout of Pokémon V, Pokémon VMAX cards have a rainbow background and details on the card's bottom, as well its illustration also fading into the top-most area and having the visual aura of Dynamaxing on the Pokémon.
Trivia
- Jigglypuff's Final Smash, Puff Up, appears similar to Dynamax, as both feature a Pokémon temporarily growing to a much larger size. Dynamax would not appear until 2019, over eleven years past the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, in which Final Smashes debuted.
- When Calyrex Dynamaxes, it is surrounded by a blue aura. All other Dynamaxed or Gigantamaxed Pokémon yield red auras. It is never explained in game why this is the case.
