When Does the Max Out Season Begin in Pokemon GO?
The Max Out season begins on September 3, 2024, and will run through December 3.
Once the season begins, players’ ranks will be reset in the GO Battle League, giving you a chance to climb to the top and collect the rank-up encounters and rewards for the season.
GO Battle League Guaranteed Rank-Up Encounters for Max Out
Achieving certain ranks in the GO Battle League means a chance to encounter and catch the current season’s reward Pokemon. Guaranteed Encounters are the Pokemon you will automatically get a chance to catch once you hit a specific rank.
This season’s Guaranteed Rank-Up Encounters are:
| GO Battle League Rank | Guaranteed Pokemon Encounter |
|---|---|
| Rank 1 |  Galarian Yamask |
| Rank 6 |  Haunter |
| Ace Rank |  Jangmo-o |
| Veteran Rank |  Dragonite |
| Expert Rank |  Frigibax |
| Legend Rank |  Pikachu Libre |
Of the guaranteed Rank-Up encounters, only Galarian Yamask, Jangmo-o, and Pikachu Libre can currently be Shiny in Pokemon GO.
GO Battle League Standard Encounters
Unlike the Guaranteed Encounters, Standard Encounter Pokemon aren’t one-time events upon hitting a new level in the league. Rather, once you reach these ranks, you’ll have a chance to encounter these featured Pokemon throughout the current GO Battle League season.
The featured Pokemon appearing in Standard Encounters for the GO Battle League during the Max Out season are:
| GO Battle League Rank | Pokemon Encounter |
|---|---|
| Rank 1 |  Machop |
| Rank 1 |  Wobbuffett |
| Rank 1 |  Mienfoo |
| Rank 1 |  Wooloo |
| Rank 1 |  Skwovet |
| Rank 6 |  Frillish |
| Rank 6 |  Carbink |
| Rank 11 |  Scraggy |
| Rank 11 |  Galarian Stunfisk |
| Rank 11 |  Phantump |
| Rank 11 |  Falinks |
| Rank 16 |  Hisuian Sneasel |
| Rank 16 |  Cranidos |
| Rank 16 |  Shieldon |
| Rank 20 | Currently Active 5-Star Raid Boss |
| Ace Rank | Jangmo-o |
| Veteran Rank |  Dratini |
| Expert Rank | Frigibax |
Most of these GO Battle League standard encounter Pokemon can be Shiny, except for Carbink, Falinks, and Frigibax. Shiny Skwovet and Shiny Wooloo will debut this season, but it’s unclear if their Shiny forms can be caught via these reward encounters.
Pokemon GO Battle League Avatar Item Rewards
The Max Out season avatar rewards are inspired by Allister, the Gym Leader at Stow-on-Side Stadium. This character comes from Pokemon Shield, and your avatar can achieve a convincing cosplay if you receive all the rewards.
| GO Battle League Rank | Avatar Item Reward |
|---|---|
| Ace Rank | Allister Shoes |
| Veteran Rank | Allister Mask |
| Expert Rank | Allister Outfit |
| Legend Rank | Allister Avatar Pose |
And those are all the Max Out encounters and rewards in the Pokemon GO Battle League.
Pokemon GO is available on iOS and Android.
