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.
This event was not available temporarily from [[#July 17 to 19, 2020|July 17 to 19, 2020]].

===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.

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.

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 purchaced the Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass.

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.

April 30 to May 2, 2021
