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.

March 1 to 31, 2021

This Wild Area News event focuses on Flying and Fairy-type Pokémon. While Rufflet and Braviary are normally exculsive to Pokémon Sword, they can be found in both Sword and Shield for this event.[1]

June 17 to 28, 2020

This event featured every Gigantamax Pokémon available at the time,[21] temporarily overriding the event from June 2 to 29, 2020.

To promote the release of The Isle of Armor, uncatchable 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 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).[22]

On June 23, the official Japanese Pokémon Twitter account announced that the milestone for the Shiny Zeraora had been met.[23] The distribution awarded a total of 8 pieces of Armorite Ore.
