The Wild Area 2024: Global event is this weekend! Throughout it you can catch Pokémon during the habitat hours, use Safari Balls, catch Mighty Pokémon, battle Gigantamax Toxtricity, obtain both Toxtricity Forms and catch a Studded Jacket Snorlax. If you've purchased an event ticket, you can also complete the An Accomplished Trainer quest. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.

Everything else we know about Rising Shadows in Pokémon Go

The Rising Shadows event will be running until Sunday 28th May at 8pm (local time). During this time, both Rocket Balloons and Team Rocket invaded PokéStops will be appearing more frequently.

This event also marks the update of the Let’s GO! special research quest and, with it, brings the Master Ball to Pokémon Go. If you’d like to learn more about this special Poké Ball, visit our Master Ball guide.

The Rising Shadows event also brings a new type of raids to Pokémon Go - Shadow Raids!

As the name suggests, you’ll be battling Shadow Pokémon in Shadow Raids. At some point during these raids, the Shadow Pokémon you’re battling can become enraged and, in doing so, become more powerful. Thankfully, the new Shadow Shards and Purified Gems item can be used to subdue them.

It’s important to note that Shadow Raids can only be attended in-person, so you can not use Remote Raid passes, nor will you receive a team bonus for Premier Balls.

The majority of Gyms will be hosting Shadow Raids until Sunday 28th May at 8pm (local time). There will also be more Shadow Raids available between 10am to 8pm (local time) on Saturday 27th May. Traditional raids will continue to run during this period, but they will be less frequent.

Here are the Pokémon you can battle in Shadow Raids:

Alongside the Shadow Raids, the following Pokémon will be appearing in traditional Pokémon Go raids:
