Every Raid and Max Battle in Pokémon Go Wild Area: Global

Lots to look forward to.

Pokémon Go’s 2024 Wild Area event is fast approaching, with exciting Raids and Max Battles on offer for all trainers participating in the festivities.

While most eyes will be on a particular pair of Galarian Pokémon that are the event’s main focus, a couple of returning Pokémon might turn heads for trainers who missed out on them at the start of the year.

There are still lots more Pokémon to potentially be revealed ahead of the event on Nov. 23 to 24, but for now, here is what trainers can look forward to over the weekend of action.

A host of Raids and Max Battles are available at Pokémon Go Wild Area 2024: Global, with some Pokémon only appearing on certain days. Toxtricity, the flagship Pokémon of the event, is also available in both Raids and Max Battles simultaneously.

Wild Area 2024: Global has a lot of raids, with the Pokémon on offer veryt interesting. In fairness, it was never going to be able to beat Go Fest 2024: Global, when every Ultra Beast spawned at the same time alongside Necrozma, but it’s still a good mix.

Toxtricity is the main highlight, and the fact you can get a potential Shiny of all the forms is pretty enticing. The Max Battle Shiny is an extra bonus in the list of stuff—but there are two Pokémon that fans will be happy to see back for sure. Gigantamax Toxtricity will be the main focus for large groups of trainers, especially those after its Shiny form.

The Five-Star Raids see the return of Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia for the first time since February 2024. These two Pokémore are special because their attacks have additional effects that work in the overworld. These are known as Adventure Effects. We also have the Primal versions of Groudon and Kyogre returning.

Adventure Effects are activated from the Pokémon’s summary stage, and depending on which effect you want to use, Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia do different things.

By using 5,000 Stardust and five Candy from the respective Pokémon, you can use Spacial Rend on Origin Forme Palkia to increase the distance around you that wild Pokémon spawn for 10 minutes, or Roar of Time, which pauses the timers of Incense, Lucky Eggs, and Star Pieces for six minutes per use.

Outside of raids, Go Wild Area has many features expected in usual in-person and global events, including habitats that rotate with new Pokemon every hour, special tasks and rewards, and more secrets yet to be revealed.
