A Dynamax Crystal (Japanese: ダイクリスタル Dai Crystal) is a type of item introduced in Generation VIII.

There are 300 varieties of Dynamax Crystals, each named in the format of a star (★), one of the official three-letter abbreviations of the IAU designated constellations, and a HR (Harvard Revised) number that identifies a star in that constellation in the Bright Star Catalogue(except ★Cen551).

The name ★Cen551 appears to be an exception, since HR 551 is not located in Centaurus, but Andromeda. The intended star would be Proxima Centauri (GJ 551, too dim to have an HR number).
★And337 previously contained data for a Max Raid Battle with a Gigantamax Butterfree, but was changed prior to its distribution.
