Galar particles are a form of energy found in the Galar region. This energy is related to the Dynamax phenomenon. It works independently from Dynamax and Max Moves but is otherwise uncontrollable without the use of a Dynamax Band.
In the core series games
History and effects
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.
Sonia's Power Spot detector locates Power Spots by identifying areas with a high concentration of Galar particles.
Due to the large amount of Galar particles inside the Max Lair in the Crown Tundra, those who enter aren't allowed to use their own Pokémon, but instead must choose a rental Pokémon that's resistant to the particles' effects.
In the spin-off games
Pokémon Masters EX
Sonia's "Dynamax Sync Pair Power Spot Detector" detects spots where Galar particles are showing increased activity, and can be used to locate Pokémon on the verge of Dynamaxing.
In animation
Pokémon Journeys: The Series
Eternatus was given its name by Rose as an indication of the infinite amounts of Galar particles it could produce. Rose worked for years with Professor Magnolia on the Galar particles, eventually resulting in the creation of the Dynamax Band, but Rose had his own sinister goals for the phenomena, which prompted Professor Magnolia to end their partnership.
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Galar particles are first mentioned by Rose in Splish Splash!! Gigantamax Battle as one of the mysteries surrounding Dynamax. He's interested in finding the connection between Dynamaxing, Power Spots, and Galar particles, and he recommends that Sonia visit the vault in Hammerlocke to see if she can figure out anything.
In Thump!! The Gazing Sage, Casey explains that the tower atop Hammerlocke Stadium absorbs Galar particles, the Energy Plant converts the Galar particles into electricity, and then the electricity is distributed across the Galar region. In Stealth!! Infiltrate the Energy Plant, Rose says that they're going to run out of Galar particles in a thousand years, which would cause a blackout and could lead to the end of the Galar region as they know it. He can't sit around and do nothing when he knows there's a crisis in the future, so he's been researching ways to secure electricity without the use of Galar particles.
In Crunch!! Snowy Battle, Gordie says that Galar particles were detected throughout Hammerlocke during the incident where Marvin's Dracovish Dynamaxed, so the Dynamax phenomenon could have occurred all over the city. In Rumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day, Henry paraphrases this comment as there being Power Spots all around Hammerlocke.
