Event Bonuses
During the Max Battle Weekend, players can take advantage of several exciting bonuses designed to enhance their gameplay experience:
Increased Max Particle Collection Limit: Trainers will have the opportunity to collect up to 1,600 Max Particles during this event.
Reduced Adventuring Distance: Trainers will only need to travel a quarter of the usual distance to earn Max Particles.
Frequent Refresh of Power Spots: Expect to see Power Spots refresh more often, giving you more chances to collect resources.
- Enhanced Max Particle Rewards: Players will receive eight times the usual Max Particles from Power Spots during the event.
In addition, from Monday, April 21, at 6:00 a.m. to Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 9:00 p.m., a special bonus will be available:
- Discounted Max Particle Costs: Unlocking and powering up Max Moves will require only three-quarters of the usual Max Particle cost.

Utilizing Adventure Sync will also help ensure that your walking distances are counted toward gathering Max Particles.
Timed Research
Starting on Monday, April 21, 2025, at 6:00 a.m. local time, trainers can participate in a limited-time research opportunity.
