What it is
Dynamax and Gigantamax are built as spectacle mechanics with custom scaling, Max Move handling, G-Max eligibility, effects, and post-battle cleanup.
Max Moves
Compatible attacks are replaced with their Max or G-Max battle versions while transformed.
G-Max factor
Eligible Pokémon display their Gigantamax factor in party, PC, and summary interfaces.
One gimmick choice
Dynamax shares the same one-gimmick battle allowance as Mega Evolution and Z-Moves.
