Collect them from Power Spots

Power Spots are special points of interaction you can find on the overworld map in the game. They look similar to Gyms but have a violet aura and the Dynamax logo on them. You can interact with Power Spots to obtain MP only once per day.

Interacting with Power Spots rewards you with 120 Max Particles. To obtain this resource, you must simply walk close to a Power Spot and open it. Note that the default MP reward seems to be 100. As of September 4, 2024, a 20 MP bonus is being handed out. There has not been a confirmation from Niantic if or for how long this will remain.
