The Pokémon Go Wild Area event is back, celebrating the beloved Wild Area from Pokémon Sword and Shield! This weekend-long extravaganza is a haven for trainers, especially those with a penchant for electric- and poison-type Pokémon. Brace yourselves, because Gigantamax Toxtricity is making waves in the wild!

This exciting event is not just about fun; it brings back formidable Legendary Pokémon, including Origin Form Dialga and Palkia, as well as Primal Groudon and Kyogre! Fans of the franchise will also encounter mighty Pokémon that are larger, boast higher stats, and are generally tougher to catch. Are you ready to enhance your Pokémon collection?

Day 2: What’s New?

The second day of the Wild Area event introduces some changes in mighty Pokémon spawns. Trainers can now catch popular characters like Dragonite, Electivire, and Mamoswine in the wild! Make sure to take full advantage of this opportunity before the event wraps up!

As the clock strikes Monday, don’t forget about some key changes: ticketed bonuses kick in for those who have completed the “An Accomplished Trainer” research, while the ability to see and join friends in raids will disappear—an option that was just rolled out earlier this week! So hurry and bundle up your Pokémon before it's too late!
