Pokemon Go Wild Area: Global and Fukuoka event details

Are you ready to go wild? Pokemon Go Wild Area is coming, and it promises to be one of the most exciting events yet for both the Global version and the in-person event in Fukuoka.

There’s a lot to look forward to in the Max Out season, with a variety of exciting Community Days, new Pokemon, and a whole heap of event bonuses still to come. One of this season’s most exciting events is Pokemon Go Wild Area, which is lining up to be one of the best we’ve seen yet.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Pokemon Go Wild Area event, including key dates, information on tickets, and all of the new content being added.

Global & Fukuoka event dates

These are the event dates for both the Global and Fukoka versions of the Pokemon Go Wild Area event, as confirmed by Niantic:

Ticket prices

Niantic

You can purchase Global Tickets for Pokemon Go Wild Area for $11.99 USD or your regional equivalent. These can be brought from the Pokemon Go Web Store and will remain available for purchase until the Global event begins on November 23, 2024.

Unlike the Global event, ticket sales for the in-person event in Fukuoka aren’t available yet. We’ll keep you updated when they go live, including details on how much they’ll cost and how long you’ll have to buy them.

Regardless of which version you buy, there will be two exclusive paths to choose between that will unlock branching Special Research: Electric Path and Poison Path. Which of these you pick will dictate what rewards will be available from the research.

Toxtricity & Toxel debut

Niantic

Both Toxtricity and Toxel will be making their debut in the Pokemon Go Wild Area event. Toxtricity will be available from Max Battles, and Toxel will be hatched from 10 km Eggs during the event, with both having Shiny forms that you can obtain.

The Electric/Poison-type Pokemon first appeared in Pokemon Sword & Shield and is notable for having two different forms: Amped Form and Low Key Form. In the mainline games, Toxtricity’s form is decided by its nature, with this dictating what moves it learns. Niantic has yet to share details on how this will work in Pokemon Go, but it’s likely the two forms will have different attacks.

Spawns

Pokemon Go Wild Area will feature a wide range of spawns that can all be shiny. These are split up between Electric Hour and Poison Hour, with these being habitat hours that will rotate throughout the event’s duration.

Here are all of the spawns that you’ll be able to encounter and catch during Pokemon Go Wild Area:
