How to Unlock a Max Move in Pokémon Games
Max Moves are powerful attacks used in Pokémon Sword and Shield when a Pokémon undergoes Dynamax or Gigantamax. Here’s how to unlock and use them:
1. Enable Dynamax in Battles
✔ Dynamax is only available in Dynamax Battles, Raid Battles, and certain Trainer Battles.
✔ A Pokémon must be in a Dynamax-allowed area (e.g., Wild Area, Gym Battles, or Max Raid Battles).
2. Have the Right Pokémon & Moves
✔ Any Pokémon that can Dynamax will automatically have Max Moves based on their current move set.
✔ Moves convert into Max Moves as follows:
- Physical & Special Moves → Become Max Moves (e.g., Thunderbolt → Max Lightning).
- Status Moves → Become Max Guard (protective move).
3. How to Use a Gigantamax Exclusive Max Move
✔ Some Pokémon have Gigantamax Forms with unique Max Moves (e.g., Charizard’s G-Max Wildfire).
✔ To unlock a G-Max Move, use a Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor (catch from Max Raid Battles or use Max Soup).
4. Unlocking Dynamax in Your Game
✔ If playing Pokémon Sword & Shield, you unlock Dynamax early in the game after meeting Professor Magnolia.
✔ Dynamax is not available in all battles—check battle rules before attempting to use it.
Conclusion
To unlock Max Moves, enter Dynamax mode in a Dynamax-allowed battle, and the moves automatically transform. For Gigantamax-exclusive moves, use a Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor.
