Pokémon GO Wild Area event explained: What are Mighty Pokémon?

As a seasoned Pokemon trainer with over two decades of experience under my belt, let me tell you that this latest update is nothing short of exhilarating! The introduction of Mighty Pokemon adds a whole new layer of excitement to our beloved game.


The recently unveiled event for the popular mobile game, Pokémon GO, is called the Wild Area. This upcoming occasion will primarily feature Pokémon of Poison and Electric types.

The event will also introduce Mighty Pokémon for the first time. 

In this write-up, we will cover all essential details concerning the recently launched worldwide gathering, which includes an event taking place in Fukuoka, Japan as well.

Let’s explore and discuss the characteristics of powerful Pokémons, delve into the latest gameplay enhancements, and check out the innovative design for a brand-new type of Poké Ball.

When is the Pokémon GO Wild Area event?

The Pokémon GO Wild Area event starts in November, divided into separate dates for the Fukuoka event and the worldwide event.

  • Fukuoka: Saturday 16th November – Sunday 17th November (Not available yet) 
  • Global: 10am local time to 6:15pm local time Saturday 23rd November – Sunday 24th November (£11.99)

Ticket holders will get extra benefits, including one Max Particle Pack and 1 Egg Incubator. If they can focus on which type of Pokémon they want to catch, they choose Electric and Poison-type Pokémon. 

At the upcoming gathering, they’ll unveil the GO Safari Ball, a tool that boosts your chances of capturing Pokémon during the event. However, keep in mind that once the event concludes, any captured Pokémon will no longer be available in your inventory.

Attendees will be gifted an exclusive avatar item, the Toxel Mask, ahead of time. Moreover, this event signifies the launch of Toxtricity within the game, with its shiny variant potentially found by some players in their adventures. They’ll also benefit from multiple perks during the event and a Special Research storyline for added fun.

During this occasion, raids are still ongoing, showcasing the Origin Forme of Dialga and Palkia, each armed with their unique abilities. These formidable creatures pose a tough test for every trainer involved.
