Dynamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically, as well as changing the moves of the Pokémon and increasing their HP in battle, but can only be used once during a battle, and ends after three turns or if the user is switched out. In addition, it can only be performed in areas known to have power spots, such as [[Galar]]'s [[Gym|Stadium]]s and {{gdis|Battle Tower|VIII}}. 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 {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}} is used against a Dynamax Pokémon, only its base form and base moves will be copied, and the user must Dynamax separately. Additionally, the Gigantamax Factor cannot be copied this way; instead, the user will only achieve the standard Dynamax form. Lastly, if a Pokémon incapable of Dynamax (e.g. {{p|Zacian}}) is copied, then the user will not be able to Dynamax afterwards.  
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 must Dynamax separately. The Gigantamax Factor, however, cannot be copied at all; instead, the user will 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 the move of a Dynamax Pokémon (e.g. {{m|Copycat}}), it will copy the base move of the last Max Move used.


Wild Pokémon in a [[Max Raid Battle]] start out as Dynamax Pokémon and do not return to their original state during the battle. However, the Trainers' Pokémon do not start out as Dynamax Pokémon, and only one of the Trainers' Pokémon can Dynamax during the battle, for three turns. The first Trainer with the chance to Dynamax is the host, with the the chance passing to the next player who joined until it returns to the first player.
