  This global celebration brings together all Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon from the year’s events—all battling in enhanced Max Battles.

• Eternamax Eternatus debuts during the event—it’s regarded as the toughest Max raid yet, available at many Power Spots. Players earn Candy and Candy XL rewards, though it cannot be caught directly.

• Starting August 18, Trainers level 13+ automatically receive the standard GO Pass: Max Finale, with a paid Deluxe Pass offering bonuses like increased Candy drops.

🌱 Scarlet & Violet: Tera Raid Events & Shiny Legendary Unlocks

• Simultaneous Mass Outbreak events feature type-themed spawns like Grass during Wo‑Chien and Fire for Chi‑Yu, with boosted shiny odds for themed Pokémon.

• Over 3.5 million raids were completed for Shiny Wo‑Chien alone, easily surpassing global participation goals.
