A brand new item has arrived in Pokémon GO, the Max Mushroom. This new item will help Trainers take on their Max Battles and Gigantamax Battles. It is an item that sits in the same category as the Star Piece and Lucky Egg.

What does the Max Mushroom do in Pokémon GO?
The Max Mushroom will double the damage that your Pokémon do inMax Battlesagainst either Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokémon. It will last 30 minutes once activated, and will work on any attacks during that time. That means you can chain up several battles to benefit from the bonus.
How much does it cost?
Every Trainer will get a small sample of the Max Mushroom, with a short 5 minute trial. Beyond that, like other items, Trainers will need to purchase them with coins or as part of bundles avaliable in the Web Store and In-Game Store.

Does Roar of Time work on the Max Mushroom?
Roar of Time, theOrigin Forme DialgaAdventure Effect, pauses timers for Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces and Incense. However, at the moment, it does not pause the timer for Max Mushroom in Pokémon GO.
This may change in the future, so stay tuned for any updates on that.
Is the Max Mushroom value for money in Pokémon GO?
The Max Mushroom is one of the most expensive items you’re able to get in Pokémon GO. 1000 coins for three is a significant outlay, and isn’t something most Trainers can get lots of without noticing the expense.
For most Dynamax Max Battles, these won’t be needed. Pokémon like Dynamax Machop and Dynamax Beldum can be defeated solo.
However, for Gigantamax Max Battles, you need a lot of Trainers to defeat them. Doubling your damage in theory makes you count for two Trainers. So, if you are struggling to get enough Trainers together for events likeGigantamax Lapras Max Battle Day, these Max Mushrooms may well be useful.
If you can easily get 30-40 people together, you would be better off saving your coins for other items.
