So far, the Might and Mastery season has delivered a whole host of powerful Max Battles. Next up in Pokémon Go is a Dynamax Suicune Max Battle Weekend, providing another test for Trainers, while bringing Dynamax Suicune to the mobile game for the very first time.
The Dynamax Suicune Max Battle Weekend officially takes place on May 10, at 6am to May 11, 2025, at 9pm local time. However, there’s an extra bonus and Timed Research that will be unleashed before the event to prepare you for the Dynamax Suicune Max Battle.
