How to get Dynamax Galarian Starters in Pokemon GO, and can they be shiny?
The introduction of Dynamax Galarian Starters in Pokemon GO Max Battles has excited trainers worldwide. Many of them might be wondering if Niantic has decided to release the Shiny variants of the starters. While currently the developer hasn't done so, fans will get to see this in the future. Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble are the Starter Pokemon from the Galar region. Each can evolve into a powerful version of themselves.
Sobble, Scorbunny, and Grookey made their debut in the game during GO All Out event on September 3, 2024. These creatures are set to take over one-star Max Battles throughout October. With that in mind, here is a guide on how you can obtain Dynamax Galarian Starters in Pokemon GO.
How to get Dynamax Galarian Starters in Pokemon GO?
The following are the ways to get your hands on Dynamax Galarian Starters in the game as of October 2024:
- 1-star Max Battles
- Trade
1) 1-star Max Battles
Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble appear as Power Spot bosses during October. You can defeat these Galarian Starter Pokemon from October 1, 2024, at 6:00 am local time, to October 31, 2024, at 9:00 pm local time.
With just 250 Max Particles, you can join the one-star Max Battles featuring the Galarian Starters in Pokemon GO. Remember that only those creatures that can Dyanamax in the game can be used to battle the Power Spot bosses, which are Scorbunny, Sobble, and Grookey.
You will be able to utilize any Dynamax species you have caught previously for these Max Battles. But, it is wise to consider using the best ones available.
Defeating the one-star Max Battles is comparatively easier for players. However, you need to know that the Power Spot bosses can use heavy damage-dealing Charged Attacks. So, ensure you avoid them to keep your Dynamax Pokemon healthy and collect all the Max Particles available to you during the battle period.
2) Trade
You can get any Dynamax Galarian Starters in Pokemon GO by trading the Pocket Monster with your friends. To do this, both friends have to meet in person, be within a 100-meter trade distance, and have the required Stardust in their account.
Moreover, if you have never caught a Galarian Starter before, then, this will be regarded as a Special Trade.

No, Dynamax Galarian Starters cannot be shiny in the game. This means you are unable to obtain Shiny Dynamax versions of Scorbunny, Sobble, and Grookey.
