To The Max Special Research questline initially suffered from a reset error where players had their progress deleted. The issue has since been fixed by Niantic with affected parties receiving compensation.

Apart from the Dynamax Mechanic, Max Out also introduces several Galar Pokemon, including the first partner pocket monsters - Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. The seasonal Special Research Galar Calling revolves around these three and is now available for trainers to complete.
