Details of the Pokémon GO Max Finale event and the Deluxe GO Pass shiny catch
It is one of the most awaited events in Pokémon GO. Max Finale brings in a lot of new features that will change the game, and the most exciting part of it is the introduction of Eternatus, a Legendary Pokémon from Pokémon Sword and Shield, in its powerful Eternamax form.
Additionally, this event has added Tier 6 Raid Battles, which will now need teams of up to 100 players to beat Eternatus. Making this a whole new level of cooperative gameplay and challenge.
The game has also raised the maximum number of players who can join Gigantamax Battles, which makes the raids during the event harder and bigger overall.

- The boost of shiny odds only applies to the Pokemon directly earned as rewards from the Deluxe GO Pass and not on every Dynamax or Max Finale raid.
- If players are hoping to hunt for shiny Pokemon across all Dynamax battles during the event, the pass won’t actually help because the shiny increases are exclusive to special reward encounters from the pass.
- As of now Niantic has not made any public clarification, but customer support messages and community feedback suggest this limitation is real and affecting many buyers’ experiences.
These were all the major features of the Pokemon GO Deluxe Pass with the major catch.
