In mid-August, you can get Endynalos in Pokémon GO for the first time. And it brings a really strong Adventure Effect.
What kind of Pokémon is this? Endynalos is a legendary Pokémon from Generation 8. It has the types Poison and Dragon and forms the trio “Dark Night” with Zamazenta and Zacian. In the Darkness and Dyna-Finale Event, which starts on August 18, 2025, you can get a specimen of the monster. The Pokémon is limited to 1 specimen per Trainer.
While there were already hints that leveling Endynalos can become quite expensive, there is now concrete information about the Adventure Effect that the Pokémon will receive. And it’s significant.
Stronger than ever before
What kind of Adventure Effect is this? Endynalos will master the Charged Attack Dynamax Cannon. This attack is also an Adventure Effect that you can use outside of battles.
If you use it, you can influence the level of your Pokémon’s Dyna Attacks. You increase them by one level for 10 minutes.
Dyna Attacks that you have not unlocked are thus temporarily at Level 1. Attacks of Levels 1 and 2 correspond to Levels 2 and 3. And Dyna Attacks of Level 3 are even increased to Level 4 for the duration of the effect – a level that you normally cannot unlock.
With the Adventure Effect, you can raise your Dyna Attacks to a level that you normally could not reach. This could cause many attackers to become significantly stronger in Dyna battles.
What is the cost of the Adventure Effect? To use the Adventure Effect for 10 minutes, you need to pay 5,000 Stardust and a hefty 30 Endynalos Candies. You can also use the effect multiple times and therefore extend the time.
If you want to collect Candies for the Adventure Effect, you should take advantage of the Dyna Finale on August 23 and 24, 2025. Here you can challenge Endynalos in Dyna Raids and thus earn the Candies.
The Darkness and Dyna-Finale events are just one highlight of the current month. If you want to know what other events and content are waiting for you this month, feel free to take a look at our overview with all events in August 2025 in Pokémon GO.
