The Max Monday event is back on a regular basis in , making it so following the latest schedule is a must if you want to add featured Dynamax Pokémon to your collection. Niantic has been no stranger to introducing ongoing monthly events that change on a regular basis. This new weekly opportunity to take on giant iterations of certain Pocket Monsters is great for keen Trainers looking to expand their inventories of giant creatures.
Max Mondays follow other regularly updated events, like the rotating party of Team Rocket Leader Sierra's or the Raid boss schedule. The exception, however, is that you're rather restricted in regards to the variety of Pokémon you can take with you this time around, limited to certain other Pokémon you can get in the game. With that, comes an extra degree of challenge, but that makes clinching a win and adding a new member to your team of large creatures extra satisfying.
In this month, there are five Max Monday events on the December 2024 schedule, starting with Squirtle on the 2nd and ending with Bulbasaur on the 30th. Before the last event, you will have plenty of time to prepare using the Dynamax Bulbasaur Max Battle guide in the meantime as well. You can find the full schedule in the table below, covering each Max Battle Monday Pokémon's type, weaknesses, and Shiny availability:

You'll have an easier time winning Max Raids if you bring a Dynamax-capable Pokemon with a moveset that can target a boss' weaknesses. For example, bring a Squirtle with Water-type moves to counter Dynamax Charmander.
