Pokémon GO Dynamax Latios features in five-star Max Battles on November 13, including a 6–7 PM local-time hour shared with Latias. Latios caught during the event knows Luster Purge.
The usual Dragon/Psychic weaknesses still apply, but your attackers must be Max-capable. Their Fast Moves also determine Max Attack typing, making the best regular raid lineup an unreliable shortcut.
Pokémon GO Dynamax Latios: How to encounter Dynamax Latios
Dynamax Latios is featured on November 13 during Into the Wild 2026, alongside Dynamax Latias. To fight it, find an active Max Battle Power Spot and enter with eligible Max-capable Pokémon.

Latios is not the same encounter as a standard five-star raid, even though ordinary Latios guides can help explain its typing. Max Battles use Max Moves and their own entry requirements.
Pokémon GO Dynamax Latios: Dynamax Latios weaknesses
Latios is Dragon/Psychic, making it weak to Ice, Dragon, Fairy, Ghost, Dark and Bug. The best starting point is an eligible Max attacker that can hit one of those weaknesses.
The Fast Move your Pokémon uses determines its Max Attack type. Check that before levelling a move, and think about survivability: Dragon-type attackers deal strong damage but may also be vulnerable to the boss’s Dragon attacks.
Pokémon GO Dynamax Latios: Max Battle strategy and support
Bring upgraded Max Attacks on suitable attackers and make room for healing or defensive Max Moves if your group needs them. Max Spirit and Max Guard matter more when a fight is long enough that raw damage cannot carry a team.
There isn’t a verified October 14 fastest-team ranking for this new encounter. Don’t copy a standard raid tier list and label it a Max Battle counter guide without checking whether every recommended Pokémon is eligible.

Pokémon GO Dynamax Latios: What to do before November 13
Collect Max Particles in advance, confirm where the relevant Power Spots are and decide whether your existing team can handle both Latios and Latias. Save enough resources for more than one attempt if you’re targeting both.
The official schedule confirms the November 13 five-star Max Battle Hour from 6–7 PM local time. It doesn’t state that every reward, CP value or shiny outcome is guaranteed, so rely on the actual battle and catch screens for those details.
Pokémon GO Dynamax Latios: november 13 latios max battle hour and special move
Five-star Latios Max Battles are scheduled for Friday, November 13, with a 6–7 PM local time featured Max Battle Hour. Event catches know Luster Purge, and both a Shiny Latios and the new five-star catch Special Background are possible rather than guaranteed.
Latios is Dragon/Psychic, so Dragon, Ice, Fairy, Ghost, Dark and Bug attacks can deal super-effective damage. Max Battle eligibility still applies, and the attacker’s Fast Move determines Max Attack typing. Not yet verified: an encounter-tested ranking of exact Dynamax species and the boss’s live attack sequence.
Pokémon GO Dynamax Latios: preparing for the event
Ice, Fairy, Dragon, Dark, Ghost and Bug damage can all be effective. Consider survivability as well as damage, especially if a Dragon attacker might be hit by Dragon moves. Max Guard and Max Spirit can keep a group fighting longer.
