Dynamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically, as well as changing the moves of the Pokémon and increasing their max and current [[HP]] in battle according to their Dynamax level (except for {{p|Shedinja}}), but can only be used once during a battle, and ends after three turns or if the Pokémon is switched out. In addition, it can only be performed in areas known to have {{cat|Power Spots}}, such as [[Galar]]'s [[Gym|Gym Stadiums]], [[Master Dojo|Battle Court]], and {{gal|Battle Tower}}. When Dynamaxed, all of the Pokémon's [[move]]s will turn into [[Max Move]]s that correspond to those moves' [[type]]s and categories. Like with [[Mega Evolution]], Dynamax is activated at the start of the turn before all other moves are executed. If a Dynamax Pokémon runs out of [[PP]] of one move, it still can be selected but fails; if it is unable to use any moves (e.g., running out of PP), it will use {{m|Struggle}}.
