Day 2 Changes in Pokémon Go Wild Area: Habitat Spawns and Ticket Bonuses

In Pokémon Go, the Wild Area event has arrived, drawing inspiration from the same iconic location in Pokémon Sword and Shield. This event highlights electric and poison-type Pokémon, spotlighting Gigantamax Toxtricity. For fans, this means a weekend filled with exciting activities and perks to enjoy.

During the event, players can look forward to encountering previously rare Legendary Pokémon, including the likes of Origin Form Dialga and Palkia, as well as the powerful Primal Groudon and Kyogre. Additionally, a new group of formidable Pokémon has been introduced, which are larger, boast higher stats, and present a bit more of a challenge to capture.

If you’re navigating your way through the weekend’s festivities, don’t worry, there are guides available to assist you. You can find detailed explanations on everything from using Safari Balls, to acquiring Toxel, and for those with event tickets, insights on the “An Accomplished Trainer” task.

Now let’s talk about the second day of the Wild Area event. The standout change for day two is the rotating mighty Pokémon available to catch. Our full list will give you all the details, but some fan-favorites like Dragonite, Electivire, and Mamoswine can now be encountered in the wild.

As we transition into Monday, two key updates will roll out: one, the start of any bonuses tied to completing the “An Accomplished Trainer” research for ticket holders, so wrapping up those tasks is beneficial. Two, the recently introduced feature of seeing friends engaged in raids and the option to join them remotely will no longer be available, which is a bit of a bummer.

Plan carefully and make the most out of this final event day, especially if you’re aiming for specific Pokémon.

Throughout the event, the format shifts hourly between Electric and Poison habitats, keeping the experience dynamic. Each hour, trainers can anticipate a new mix of Pokémon highlighting these elements.

Here’s a quick look at the schedule: The Electric and Poison habitats switch off, with Electric Hour kicking things off at 10 a.m. and alternating every hour after.

For those with a ticket, there’s also a special Collection Challenge that encourages you to explore and capture each featured electric and poison-type Pokémon. Completing these challenges not only provides a sense of achievement but also rewards like Pop Star Pikachu for electric captures, and Rock Star Pikachu for poison ones.

Field Research tasks are also catered to these habitats and are varied in rewards based on the time of day. You’ll be tasked with capturing Pokémon in different scenarios, each with its own unique bonus.

Don’t forget! For everyone—not just those with tickets—there are universal perks including extended Lure Module durations, special themed Field Research, and bonus daily snapshot surprises. Additionally, Max Particle collection limits and raid options have expanded temporarily, allowing remote participation without time restrictions.

If you’re planning to go all out, consider the additional bonuses from the event ticket. Available for $11.99, this pass grants an increased chance at finding shiny Pokémon, doubles the effectiveness of catching and hatching rewards, and enhances trading limits and features, among other exciting perks.

The opportunity to grab shinies stands out as a major draw of the ticket—a must-have for collectors looking for rare color variations. Increased Max Particles are another key bonus, which prove essential for Toxtricity hunts and Max Battles, making the ticket a valuable addition for those keen on maximizing their participation.

With the release of fresh raid targets and a robust schedule of Max Battles, there’s plenty to keep trainers busy throughout this event. Dungeon up and prepare for encounters with Snorlax in a studded jacket, the various forms of Toxtricity, and more, depending on the raid type and day.

Keep in mind the weather, as it can impact your readiness for raids. But with enhanced remote options, you’ll be able to join from almost anywhere.

If you need more guidance, there’s a wealth of information available, offering tips on catching mighty Pokémon, using Go Safari Balls, defeating Gigantamax Toxtricity, and more, tailored specifically for event ticket holders. Dive in, and good luck on your Wild Area adventures!
