3-star Max Battles

The easiest way to get your hands on a Dynamax Passimian is to beat it in 3-star Max Battles. These will be available from 6 to 7 pm local time on April 7, 2025, and then again for a week from April 14 - 20, 2025, from 6 am to 9 pm local time.

Passimian is a fighting-type creature with access to three fighting-type attacks and one dark-type attack. Therefore, you can easily take it down with Gengar as the tank and two Flying-type or Psychic-type Dynamax Attackers in Pokemon GO. Some of the offensive options are:

• Metagross with Zen Headbutt and Psychic
• Moltres with Wing Attack and Sky Attack
• Unfeazant with Air Slash and Sky Attack

Once you take down the Power Spot boss, you can capture Dynamax Passimian in Pokemon GO at the following CP ranges:

• No weather boost: 1,654 - 1,733 CP at level 20 (10/10/10 - 15/15/15 IVs)
• Weather boosted (Cloudy): 2,068 - 2,166 CP at level 25 (10/10/10 - 15/15/15 IVs)

Trade

If you are unable to capture a Dynamax Passimian in Pokemon GO on your own, you can ask an in-game friend to trade you one. As long as you have the creature registered on your Pokedex, it won't count as a Special Trade.

Note that any Max Moves unlocked before trading will be retained by Passimian. However, any Max Moves that have been leveled up will be brought back to level 1.
