Similar to [[Z-Move]]s, the [[type]], [[damage category]] and base [[power]] of Max Moves that a Dynamax Pokémon knows depend on the moves it knew before Dynamaxing. The exception to this are [[status move]]s, which instead all become the {{type|Normal}} {{m|Max Guard}}. If the base move's type is changed either by a move's effect or an [[Ability]] (e.g. {{a|Pixilate}}, {{m|Electrify}}, or {{m|Weather Ball}}), then the Max Move will also be converted to that of the new type with the same power; however, the move selection screen will still display the Max Move of the original type. For instance, if a {{type|Fighting}} {{p|Silvally}} knows {{m|Multi-Attack}}, the Max Move will still display as {{m|Max Strike}}, but when executed it becomes {{m|Max Knuckle}}. | Similar to [[Z-Move]]s, the [[type]], [[damage category]] and base [[power]] of Max Moves that a Dynamax Pokémon knows depend on the moves it knew before Dynamaxing.

For [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, damaging moves of a certain type become its exclusive [[G-Max Move]] instead of the normal corresponding Max Move; the type of moves affected depends on the Gigantamax Pokémon's species. [[Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}} can also use Max Moves, but this form cannot be obtained by the player. | For [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, damaging moves of a certain type become its exclusive [[G-Max Move]] instead of the normal corresponding Max Move; the type of moves affected depends on the Gigantamax Pokémon's species.
