'''Wild Area News''' (Japanese: '''ワイルドエリアニュース''' ''Wild Area News'') is a feature in {{g|Sword and Shield}} that expands on the available [[Max Raid Battle]]s in the [[Wild Area]], making certain Pokémon more common for a limited time. It can be accessed via [[Mystery Gift]] or updated automatically by connecting to the internet in game. Wild Area News typically spawns different Max Raid Battles depending on the game version. Certain species of [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, which are usually very rare, are often made more common through Wild Area News events. Additionally, during the Wild Area News events, certain Pokémon such as {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Zeraora}} sometimes cannot be captured.

Any [[Pokémon Den]] can spawn a Max Raid Battle from Wild Area News. Pokémon Dens that do so will always emit a red beam, indicating the "common" pool. In contrast to normal Max Raid Battles (which either only allow Pokémon in 4★ and 5★ raids to have their {{Hidden Ability|Abilities}}, or guarantee Pokémon in the Pokémon Den will always have their Hidden Abilities), all Pokémon that spawn from Wild Area News have a chance of having their Hidden Abilities. Wild Area News Raids battled after [[Pokémon Sword and Shield#Version history|Version 1.2.0 and 1.3.0]] can drop [[Armorite Ore]] and [[Dynite Ore]], respectively, regardless of whether or not the player has purchaced the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

On October 13, 2022, the [[Pokémon HOME]] news section announced that the final update for Wild Area News would be on November 1, 2022.
 
Prior to the final update on November 1, 2022, when no other Wild Area News event was active, any [[Pokémon Den]] that would normally contain an event raid would default to the April 5, 2021 event data:
{{main|Wild_Area_News/2021#April 5, 2021 to November 1, 2022|Wild Area News/2021 → April 5, 2021 to November 1, 2022}}

===February 4 to 8, 2021===
The Pokémon HOME news section described these event raids as "featuring Pokémon that did not previously appear during normal play, such as [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Snorlax}}", and announced that Wild Area News would receive no further updates following this final update.  
This Wild Area News event focuses on Pokémon that were featured in [[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]. Notably, one of the 5★ encounters is a battle with a guaranteed {{shiny}} {{p|Cramorant}}. Additionally, if players collectively defeat Cramorant more than 500,000 times, a [[Flame Orb]], a [[Toxic Orb]] and a [[Light Ball]] will be distributed via [[Mystery Gift]]. If players collectively defeat Cramorant more than one million times, a [[Gold Bottle Cap]], three [[Bottle Cap]]s and three [[Pearl String]]s will also be distributed.


The official English Pokémon website erroniously lists this event to have started on February 3, 2021.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/trainers-unite-for-max-raid-battles-cramorant-gifts-and-glory/ Trainers Unite for Max Raid Battles, Cramorant, Gifts, and Glory]</ref>
It is assumed this event will be available via Wild Area News until the [[Nintendo Switch]] eventually reaches {{wp|End-of-life product|End-of-life}}, at which point Wild Area News will become inaccessible, as servers will have shutdown.

This Wild Area News event focuses on {{t|Steel}} and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.<ref>[https://twitter.com/pokemon_cojp/status/1277829256320516096 8月1日(土)8時59分まで | ポケモン公式ツイッター]</ref>
 
For the first few hours after this round of news went live, instead of dropping [[Armorite Ore]], the Pokémon here dropped an invalid item which would crash the game upon receipt.<ref>[https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1277760032919244801 Wild Area News Glitch by @mattyoukhana_]</ref> An update released later that day fixed the drop tables to include the correct item.

===June 17 to 28, 2020===
This event featured every [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon available at the time,<ref name="June 2, 2020"/> temporarily overriding the event from [[#June 2 to 29, 2020|June 2 to 29, 2020]].
 
To promote the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], uncatchable {{p|Zeraora}} appeared in 3★ to 5★ raids. In 5★ raids, some Zeraora were also {{Shiny}} and more difficult to defeat. This represented Shiny Zeraora's first appearance. As an additional promotion, if at least 1 million players defeated Zeraora before the event ended, a [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII#1 Million Victories Shiny Zeraora|Shiny Zeraora]] would be distributed via [[Pokémon HOME]], and for every 100,000 players after that up to 2 million, each player would receive a piece of [[Armorite Ore]] (max. 10).<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/earn-a-shiny-zeraora-and-armorite-ore-in-pokemon-sword-and-pokemon-shield/ Earn a Shiny Zeraora and Armorite Ore in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | Pokemon.com]</ref>
 
On June 23, the official Japanese Pokémon Twitter account announced that the milestone for the Shiny Zeraora had been met.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1275629411514175488 100万人を超えるトレーナーが幻のポケモン・ゼラオラに勝利したよ | ポケモン公式ツイッター]</ref> The [[List of other event distributions in Generation VIII#Shiny Zeraora Armorite Ore|distribution]] awarded a total of 8 pieces of Armorite Ore.

===February 27 to March 1, 2020===
{{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Wartortle}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}, which do not normally appear in-game, became available for a limited time during Wild Area News, as part of a tie-in with [[Pokémon Day]]. The event also includes {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/dynamax-forms-of-mewtwo-bulbasaur-ivysaur-charmander-charmeleon-squirtle-and-wartortle-in-pokemon-sword-and-pokemon-shield-max-raid-battles/ Dynamax Forms of Mewtwo, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Charmander, Charmeleon, Squirtle, and Wartortle in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Max Raid Battles]</ref> This event was temporarily overriding the event from [[#February 16 to March 8, 2020|February 16 to March 8, 2020]].
 
Mewtwo cannot be captured during the event—the Max Raid Battle's only purpose is to provide rare and lucrative rewards, such as [[Ability Capsule]]s and [[Big Nugget]]s. There are multiple Mewtwo slots, with each one knowing different [[move]]s; some based around [[physical move]]s, and some based around [[special move]]s.

===February 16 to March 8, 2020===
[[Gigantamax]] {{p|Toxtricity}}, which do not normally appear in Max Raid Battles, became available for a limited time, with its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Toxtricity|Amped Form}} exclusive to raids hosted in Pokémon Sword and its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Toxtricity|Low Key Form}} exclusive to raids hosted in Pokémon Shield. Additionally, [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Kingler}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Orbeetle}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, and {{p|Grimmsnarl}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Hatterene}}{{sup/8|Sh}} became more common for a limited time.<ref name="February 7, 2020"/> Unlike the Toxtricity available at higher ratings, {{p|Toxel}} found through this event can have any [[Nature]], allowing them to potentially evolve into either form of Toxtricity regardless of the raid's game of origin.
 
This event was not available temporarily from [[#February 27 to March 1, 2020|February 27 to March 1, 2020]].

Wild Area News (Japanese: ワイルドエリアニュース Wild Area News) is a feature in Pokémon Sword and Shield that expands on the available Max Raid Battles in the Wild Area, making certain Pokémon more common for a limited time. It can be accessed via Mystery Gift or updated automatically by connecting to the internet in game. Wild Area News typically spawns different Max Raid Battles depending on the game version. Certain species of Gigantamax Pokémon, which are usually very rare, are often made more common through Wild Area News events. Additionally, during the Wild Area News events, certain Pokémon such as Mewtwo and Zeraora sometimes cannot be captured.

Any Pokémon Den can spawn a Max Raid Battle from Wild Area News. Pokémon Dens that do so will always emit a red beam, indicating the "common" pool. In contrast to normal Max Raid Battles (which either only allow Pokémon in 4★ and 5★ raids to have their Hidden Abilities, or guarantee Pokémon in the Pokémon Den will always have their Hidden Abilities), all Pokémon that spawn from Wild Area News have a chance of having their Hidden Abilities. Wild Area News Raids battled after Version 1.2.0 and 1.3.0 can drop Armorite Ore and Dynite Ore, respectively, regardless of whether or not the player has purchased the Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass.

On October 13, 2022, the Pokémon HOME news section announced that the final update for Wild Area News would be on November 1, 2022.

Prior to the final update on November 1, 2022, when no other Wild Area News event was active, any Pokémon Den that would normally contain an event raid would default to the April 5, 2021 event data:

List of Max Raid Battles

The following lists, in reverse chronological order, the encounter rates for Max Raid Battles from different Wild Area News events.

November 1, 2022, to End-of-life

This Wild Area News focuses on Gigantamax Pokémon, several of which are not typically available in the wild, as well as Ditto, Wooloo, and Dubwool.

The Pokémon HOME news section described these event raids as "featuring Pokémon that did not previously appear during normal play, such as Gigantamax Snorlax", and announced that Wild Area News would receive no further updates following this final update.

It is assumed this event will be available via Wild Area News until the Nintendo Switch eventually reaches End-of-life, at which point Wild Area News will become inaccessible, as servers will have shutdown.
