Pokémon Go Wild Area Habitats and Ticket Bonuses

Pokémon Go Wild Area Habitats and Ticket Bonuses

Wilderness another important event in Pokemon Gowhich mimics the location of the same name from Pokemon Sword And Shield.

With a focus on Electric and Poison-type Pokémon (and thus the introduction of Gigantamax Toxtricity into the game), there are plenty of perks and fun factors for this weekend celebration.

The event will bring back previously exclusive powerful Legendary Pokémon such as Origin Form Dialga and Palkia, as well as Primal Groudon and Kyogre. It also features powerful Pokémon that will likely be larger in size, have higher stats, and are a little harder to catch.
