To the Max! was released on Wednesday 4th September in Pokémon Go during the Season of Max Out. As a special research quest, it lacks a deadline so you're free to complete it whenever you like. Though there is one requirement you do need to complete to unlock this quest, which we've outlined in the final section of this guide.
Since this quest outlines the Max Particles (referred to as MP at time during the quest) and Power Spot mechanics alongside gifting you a Dynamax Pokémon - all of which are crucial to Max Battles - it's worth completing To the Max! before undertaking your first Max Battle.
Keep in mind you'll have to wait until Max Battles are released on Tuesday 10th September to finish this quest.

The Max Out Season is here! The GO Big is currently running in Pokémon Go. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles.

Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
How to unlock To the Max! in Pokémon Go
To unlock the To the Max! quest you must be Trainer Level 13 or higher in Pokémon Go. If you meet this requirement, then the quest should unlock automatically for you once 12pm (local time) on Wednesday 4th September has passed.
If this time has passed and To the Max! has not automatically unlocked for you, try closing and reopening Pokémon Go again as this should force the quest to unlock. Though you may have to try this method a couple of times for it to work. It's also worth checking to make sure that you're playing the most recent version of Pokémon Go, because, if you're an update behind, you may miss out on this quest.
After unlocking To the Max! you'll be able to complete it whenever you like since, as a special research quest, it lacks a deadline. Still, we recommend completing it as quickly as possible because it supplies you with useful rewards for partaking in Max Battles, such as a Dynamax Wooloo. It also serves as an introduction to the Max Particles and Power Spots mechanics, which are crucial parts of the Max Battles gameplay.
For this reason, if you're not currently Level 13 or higher in Pokémon Go, now is the perfect time to start catching a load of Pokémon, battle in some raids, conduct some evolutions and, if you've got one going spare, use a Lucky Egg to double all of that lovely XP. You wouldn't want to miss out on starting your Dynamax Pokémon collection!
Good luck completing To the Max! in Pokémon Go!
