>>56347422Dynamaxing is where Pokémon turn into towering giants in special hot spots when exposed to special Dynamax energy. Eternatus is the source of that energy (pic related).
This means you can't just do it anywhere, and the phenomena is exclusive to the Galar region.
Much in the way that mega evolution is a Kalos thing, Z-moves are an Alola thing, Terastallization is a Paldea thing; the effects are all caused by specific legendary Pokémon.
Gigantamaxing is something that only a few species of Pokémon can achieve, where they take on a unique form, and it requires that they have the necessary trait.
Examples include Pikachu, Eevee, Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard, Butterfree, Machamp, Gengar, Snorlax, Lapras, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon.
What this'll probably mean is that there'll be new chase Pokémon and your already existing Pokémon won't be able to gigantamax; go catch a new Charizard instead of having your existing shiny or hundo do it.
