The latest Pokémon to feature in Max Battles as part of Max Mondays in is Dynamax Darumaka. The Fire-type from Generation 5 is set to make its debut as a Dynamax Pokémon as part of the weekly hour.
It will feature on Monday, February 24, 2025, from 6 pm to 7 pm local time for that week's Max Monday. For that time, it will be the only Pokémon found in Max Battles.
Following this event, Dynamax Darumaka will be available for all trainers to find, along with Pidove and Sobble. While not one of the strongest Fire-types in its evolution, Darmanitan can be useful in certain scenarios. To be able to take on Dynamax Darumaka, you need to find it in nearby Power Spots, but in most locations, there are as many of these as there are PokéStops.
Once you have found it, you and up to three fellow trainers can try to defeat Dynamax Darumaka. If you are successful, you will get the chance to catch it and then use it in Max Battles going forward.
While not yet confirmed, Dynamax Darumaka is expected to be a one-star difficulty, meaning that if you go into the Max Battle with the right Pokémon, you can defeat it easily on your own.
