Mighty Pokémon, Toxtricity, & More Debut in Pokémon GO Wild Area

Niantic's stunning new event Pokémon GO Wild Area will bring forth the debut of Toxtricity, Mighty Pokémon, and more new features.

Niantic previously announced the Pokémon GO Wild Area: Fukuoka event as a limited, on-location, paid offering. Now, much like we saw with GO Fest events, a Global version of the event is being offered… and it's damn near GO Fest-level. Let's get into the details of Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global.

Here's what's happening for the Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global event:

• Date and time: Saturday, November 23 and November 24, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. local time
• New Pokémon: Toxel and Toxtricity will see a limited debut at the Fukuoka event, but they will make their worldwide debut in the Global version. Toxtricity will be available to encounter in its Shiny form, and Toxel can hatch in its Shiny form. Dynamax Toxtricity will also be available.
• Shiny release: Toxel, Toxtricity. Mighty Pokémon that are evolved forms will be available to encounter in the wild as Shiny for the first time. Many of these were previously only available to obtain by catching an earlier stage in their evolutionary line and evolving it up. See the Wild Spawns section of the update below for the full list.
