Start by checking your Nearby menu frequently. Max Battles linked to Dynamax Suicune will show up there. You can also use Campfire by tapping the green icon under the compass on the top right of your map. This will help you find nearby battles and other players interested in teaming up.

To improve your efficiency, take advantage of the active special bonuses during the event. The Max Particle collection limit will rise to 1,600. You will also collect Max Particles eight times faster from Power Spots, and Power Spots will refresh more often. Shorter adventuring distances make it easier to gather Max Particles quickly.

Before the weekend officially starts, a Timed Research will be available from May 5, 2025, at 6:00 a.m. local time. Completing it will help you prepare for the Max Battles. This Timed Research rewards you with a Dynamax Grookey, Grookey Candy, Max Particles, and other useful items. Make sure to finish all tasks and claim rewards before Sunday, May 11, 2025, at 9:00 p.m. local time. Once the expiration time passes, the research and its rewards will disappear.

It is important to collect all available Max Particles every day via the Nearby menu. When you gather enough, unlocking and powering up Max Moves will cost 3/4 of the usual Max Particle amount. Adventure Sync will help ensure your steps are counted properly for collecting Max Particles.
