Pokémon Go will see the debut of Dynamax Lugia later this month

Dynamax Lugia Takes Over Pokémon Go in a Sky-Shaking Max Battle Weekend

Lugia returns to Pokémon Go with true Legendary spectacle, soaring in as Dynamax Lugia for its long-awaited debut in five-star Max Battles. From November 29–30, the Dynamax Lugia Max Battle Weekend transforms the map, delivering a cinematic clash that fans of raid strategy and Pokémon Go event guides won’t want to miss.

This special event emphasizes particle collection, with boosted limits up to 1,600, faster Power Spot refreshes, and noticeably increased Particle gains—ideal for players seeking efficient Max Battle farming or fast Dynamax progression. The 1/4 adventuring distance kicks in once you clear your Nearby list each day, making those extra steps toward your next encounter far easier, especially with a potential Shiny Lugia waiting.

Timed Research goes live on November 25, leading directly to a Dynamax Gastly encounter—perfect for rounding out your Lugia counter team without restructuring your whole lineup. You’ll collect Gastly Candy and additional Max Particles along the way, but don’t forget: all bonuses end November 30 at 9:00 pm local time.
