From 06:00 PM until 07:00 PM on February 3, Dynamax Moltres will be available to Pokémon GO players as a Max Monday boss at all Power Spots in the game. After that hour has passed, Dynamax Moltres will still be available to challenge until February 9, but it won’t be at as many Power Spots since Squirtle, Krabby, and Sobble will also be available as Max Battle bosses until February 10.
