Pokémon GO has just announced a new Into the Wild event. It serves as a warm-up before the launch of Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global. Likewise, players will get the chance to prepare for the big adventure by honing their skills.
Wild Encounters and Max Battles
According to Niantic, the upcoming event will feature several Pokémon appearing more in its Wild Encounters. These characters include Alolan Rattata, Carbink, Carvanha, Cottonee, Fidough, and Nickit. Likewise, players can find Purrloin, Sableye, Scraggy, Spritzee, and Swirlix in the wild.
At the same time, many Dynamax Pokémon will emerge in Max Battles during the celebration. One-star Max Battles feature Ralts, while three-star Max Battles will have Sableye. On the other hand, Toxtricity (Amped Form) and Toxtricity (Low Key Form) appear in four-star Max Battles.
In both Wild Encounters and Max Battles, lucky trainers may encounter shiny versions of these Pokémon.
Raids and Shadow Raids
Based on the official announcement, Into the Wild introduces several new characters to raids. The appearing Pokémon are as follows:
Five-Star Shadow Raids
