Wild area is another premier event in Pokémon Gowhich is intended to mimic the place of the same name Pokémon Sword And Sign.
With a particular focus on Electric and Poison-type Pokémon (and thus the introduction of Gigantamax Toxtricity to the game), there are many event benefits and interesting factors for this weekend celebration.
The event brings back previously exclusive, powerful Legendary Pokémon such as Origin Form Dialga and Palkia, as well as Primal Groudon and Kyogre. It also introduces powerful Pokémon that tend to be larger, have higher stats, and are a little more difficult to catch.
If you need help from other guides during the event weekend, we have Go Safari Balls explanations, how to get Toxel, and for ticket holders, An Accomplished Trainer offers route selection.
Differences and changes in the second day of Pokémon Go Wild Area
There is only one difference from the second day of Pokémon Go Wild Area 2024, and that is a change in the powerful Pokémon that appear. Our powerful Pokémon list has a full breakdown, but you can now also encounter Pokémon like Dragonite, Electivire, and Mamoswine in the wild.
Furthermore, once Monday is over, there will be two notable things; the start of all ticket bonuses for those who have completed the “An Accomplished Trainer” research (giving you an incentive to complete this today), and the removal of See when friends are raiding your friends list and the ability to join remotely, a feature that was just added this week.
Good luck getting the Pokémon you need on this second and final day!
