Max Move

A Max Move (Japanese: ダイマックスわざ Move) is a special type of move introduced in Generation VIII. While Dynamaxed, all of a Dynamax Pokémon's moves are replaced by their corresponding Max Moves. For Gigantamax Pokémon, attacking moves of a certain type become G-Max Moves instead. Max Moves are often more powerful than regular moves and all have secondary effects.
==Effects==
Similar to Z-Moves, the type, damage category and base power of Max Moves that a Dynamax Pokémon knows depend on the moves it knew before Dynamaxing. The exception to this are status moves, which instead all become the . If the base move's type is changed either by a move's effect or an Ability (e.g. , , or ), then the Max Move will also be converted to that of the new type with the same power; however, the move selection screen will still display the Max Move of the original type. For instance, if a knows , the Max Move will still display as , but when executed it becomes .
Damaging Max Moves deal 25% of their total damage against targets that use (such as and ), and secondary effects are still applied. Only the Max Move fully protects against Max Moves. Secondary effects of Max Moves may also affect targets and their allies behind a . Max Moves also never miss, unless the target is semi-invulnerable.
For Gigantamax Pokémon, damaging moves of a certain type become its exclusive G-Max Move instead of the normal corresponding Max Move; the type of moves affected depends on the Gigantamax Pokémon's species. Eternamax can also use Max Moves, but this form cannot be obtained by the player.

===Pokémon GO===
 Pokémon initially have access to an attacking Max Move based on the type of the Pokémon's . Dynamax Pokémon can also learn , which reduces incoming damage, and , which recovers HP; both of these moves also affect ally Pokémon. All Max Moves start at Level 1 and can be increased up to a maximum of Level 3. Unlocking Max Guard or Max Spirit, and leveling up any of the three Max Moves, requires spending Max Particles and or Candy XL, depending on the move level and the Pokémon species, and awards experience. Using a Fast TM to change the Fast Attack to a move of a different type, and therefore change the attacking Max Move, does not change the Max Move's level.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
Certain sync pairs are capable of Dynamaxing their partner Pokémon, including some Trainers that do not have Dynamax Bands in the core series. All attacking max movesThe term "max move" is formatted in in Pokémon Masters EX, though it is still occasionally formatted as "Max Move" in official newsletters. start at 400 base power and can be increased up to a maximum power of 480.
A sync pair can only use a max move once per battle, but it can be used at any time. If all three sync pairs on the player's team are capable of using max moves, the player can use up to three max moves in that battle—one for each sync pair. Similar to sync moves, using a max move does not advance the user's sync move countdown, but it never misses and ignores the target's Enduring effect, if applicable.

==In the TCG==
In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, every card depicting a Dynamax Pokémon has one attack whose name starts with the phrase "Max". This may allude to the concept of Max Moves, although these attacks have no special qualities. If the Pokemon has two attacks, this attack is always the second of the attacks, and as such always has an attack cost that is more difficult to meet compared to the other attack. Some of these attack share names with a Max Move, such as the Max Rockfall attack on , and Max Darkness on . Still others share the name of a regular move, but with "Max" appended to the start. Examples include Max Pyro Ball from and Max Take Down from . And plenty are entirely original, with names like Max Gimme Gimme used on and Max Cure with . These possibly imply some flexibility in how Max Moves and G-Max Moves are represented in the TCG. 
Despite its prevalence in the video games, Max Guard was never printed as an attack on a Pokémon card.
For Gigantamax Pokémon, a similar pattern occurs where their most expensive attack starts with the phrase "G-Max", alluding to G-Max Moves.
