A Pokémon under the effects of Dynamax may have "'''Dynamax'''" in front of their species name e.g. "Dynamax Bulbasaur". The process itself always describes the Pokémon as having "'''Dynamaxed'''" in past tense, or will "'''Dynamax'''" in future tense. Pokémon actively undergoing Dynamax are described as "'''Dynamaxing'''". | A Pokémon under the effects of Dynamax may have "'''Dynamax'''" in front of their species name e.g. "Dynamax Bulbasaur".
