Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise are first up in the mobile game. In order to take them down, players who have at least one Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokemon will need to participate in groups of 10 to 40 people in Max Battles, which are located at Power Spots throughout the map.

Fans will be happy to hear that series composer Junichi Masuda arranged new music inspired by Pokemon Sword and Shield.
