Pokémon GO players are probably excited to bend spoons and control minds during the Psychic Spectacular event. For the first time, we're about to witness the lustrous arrival of Hatenna and its family and of course, Dynamax Beldum. 

Since 2018, this event has been all about adding new Psychic-type Pokémon. In past years, trainers met Shiny Drowzee and three more Psychic types. This year could introduce even stronger Pokémon to expand collections.

Expanding the Psychic-type Roster

Psychic-type Pokémon are hard to beat, even though they only have two major weaknesses. These creatures stand out in battles against Dragon- and Fairy-types. 

Over the years, strong Pokémon like Mewtwo, Hoopa, and Lunala entered Pokémon GO. Now, with this event starting soon, players will see Hatenna, its evolutions, and Dynamax Beldum added to the roster.

The Introduction of Dynamax in Pokémon GO

During this period, Dynamax Pokémon and Max Battles will make their debut. The GO Big event offers players doubled XP from winning Max Battles and spinning PokéStops. It also adds new steps to the Galar Calling Special Research and completes the final step of the To The Max! research, making the game even more dynamic. 

Field Research Tasks and Dynamax Targets
