Within the world of Pokémon Sword and Shield, you'll be able to trigger a special phenomenon called "Dynamax" to make one of your Pokémon bigger, stronger, better, etc. (this appears to be similar to the idea of "Mega Evolve" from past games).

Your Pokémon aren't the only ones that can take advantage of this, either. Occasionally, you'll encounter wild Pokémon that have been "maxed out" and you'll need some help to try and tame/capture them.
