Dynamax Crystals

Features

Max Raid Battles are one of the largest new features to Pokémon Sword & Shield and even though there are some events where the Wild Area has increased chances of getting certain Raids, there is a new method of event that allows for you to get a special one-time raid of something else, something not normally in raids or not normally available this early.

These distributions give you Dynamax Crystals which can be used in the game. If you activate them in the item menu, they will cause a Max Raid Battle to spawn at Watchtower Lair for the remainder of the day. This crumbling castle is in fact a large Pokémon Den that will give you the Max Raid Battles.
