What are Max Mushrooms and Max Soup?
Max Mushrooms are a Battle Item found on the Isle of Armor. When consumed in battle, they boost all of a Pokémon's stats. Outside of battle, they can also be used to create Max Soup, a special dish that causes certain Pokémon species that already have the potential to Gigantamax to learn how to actually Gigantamax.
Warning: It should be noted that if a Pokémon that already knows how to Gigantamax eats Max Soup that they will regress into only knowing how to Dynamax.
How to make Max Soup and give it to a Pokémon
In order to make Max Soup, players will first need to complete Dojo Master Mustard's second trial, where he asks you to gather three Max Mushrooms. Once that's done, players will be able to find Max Mushrooms on the Isle of Armor. They typically can be found in moist, shaded areas like the Warm-up Tunnel or the Forest of Focus.
Once you've gathered three Max Mushrooms, return to the dojo and speak with the young man in the kitchen. He will then create the dish and will allow you to feed it to one of your Pokémon.
