Pokémon GO Power Spots: How To Get More Max Particles

screenrant.com:

Power Spots have started to appear across the map in , bringing glowing pink landmarks to the game for the first time ever. These mysterious spots signal the imminent arrival of Dynamaxing, a new feature that will let Trainers take on giant-sized Pokémon in exciting Max Battles. But for now, they simply exist to provide Max Particles to anyone who interacts with them.

You'll need to team up with other Trainers to defeat them, just like regular Raid Battles at Gyms.
