As part of the Pokémon Go Might and Mastery season, players will continue to be faced with an array of powerful creatures. Last month, Gigantamax Snorlax made its debut in six-star Max Battles. The month of April, however, will turn up the heat with Dynamax Entei preparing to put Pokémon Go Trainers to the test.
The Dynamax Entei Max Battle Weekend kicks off on April 26 at 6am and runs until April 27, 2025, at 9pm local time. There are a range of bonuses and Timed Research tasks on offer to help you come out on top.
