What Pokémon are in Max Battles this month?

Knowing the Max Battle schedule is useful if you’re looking to expand your inventory of Dynamax Pokémon in Pokémon Go.
It does appear that Niantic will start rotating Pokémon in and out of Max Battles on a month-by-month basis, with some event Pokémon littered in. There are also Max Mondays, a weekly event similar to raid hour, where one Pokémon will show up more frequently in power spots from 6-7 p.m.
That said, you’ll want a healthy amount of Dynamax Pokémon in your team if you choose to divulge in the feature, as only Dynamax Pokémon can participate in Max Raids. (So you’re pretty much catching Pokémon to help you catch more Pokémon.) Notably, if you’re just starting out with Max Battles, you should have a “To the Max!” Special Research set that starts you off with a Dynamax Wooloo.
Below, we list the currently available Dynamax Pokémon that you can score from Max Battles in Pokémon Go.
Pokémon Go Max Monday line up for August 2025
These Pokémon will show up in power spots abundantly on specific Mondays, from 6-7 p.m. in your local time (similarly to a raid hour):
- Aug. 4: Omanyte*
- Aug. 11: Trubbish*
- Aug. 18: ???
- Aug. 25: Chansey*
- Sept. 1: Pidove*
*Shiny version available
The official announcement from Niantic did announce Pidove as a Max Monday target all the way in September, but there’s an interesting gap between Aug. 17-25.
Pokémon Go Max Battle events for August 2025
While Niantic did stop announcing the full list of Max Battle Pokémon for the month, there are some Max Battle events you can add to your calendar specifically:
- Aug. 3: Gigantamax Butterfree Day
- Aug. 23: Pokémon Go Fest 2025: Max Finale
