The Pokémon Go Wild Area event has finally revealed new details from trainers lucky enough to go to Fukuoka, Japan, and new Pokémon, items, and features are debuting.
It’s an exciting time to be a Pokémon Go fan. The Wild Area event offers a new style of gameplay, focusing on Electric and Poison-type Pokémon. It acts like a mini Pokémon Go Fest event with different hourly habitats and one ‘Mighty’ draw.

Pokémon Go Wild Area 2024: Fukuoka takes place between Nov. 16 to 17, 2024, at Maizuru Park in Fukuoka, Japan. Both days have the same schedule:

Pokémon GO Wild Area 2024: Fukuoka Biggest Features
Toxtricity is making its debut at the in-person Wild Area event, and it’ll be available in both standard four-star Raids or Max Battles. There is also a chance it can appear as a Shiny in both of these battles. Its pre-evolution, Toxel, is only available to find in 10km Eggs and has a chance at being shiny too. It’s a shame that it’s not appearing in the wild or around Toxtricity raids as a wild spawn.
Mighty Pokémon, which are a new class of powerful Pokémon, also make their debut. They are larger Pokémon that are findable and have some unique characteristics:
- More likely to have higher stats
- More likely to be XL or XXL Pokémon
- More difficult to capture
- Can also be shiny.
We are also getting a new Poké Ball type with the Safari Ball! The Safari Ball offers increased chances of catching Wild Pokémon and is perfect for catching the new Mighty Pokémon type. You’ll get one per day, and it’ll disappear at the end of the day at the event.
The event is divided into two hourly Habitats, spawning different Pokémon every hour. There is an electric hour and a Poison Hour. Origin Forme Palkia and Dialga also make a return into five-star Raids for trainers who missed out on the Sinnoh event at the start of the year, and yes, they can be Shiny.
A host of Pokémon can also learn specific attacks if you evolve them during the Wild Area in-person event. These Pokémon and their attacks include:
| Pokémon | Featured Attack |
|---|---|
| Venusaur | Frenzy Plant |
| Pidgeot | Gust |
| Poliwrath | Counter |
| Gyarados | Aqua Tail |
| Feraligatr | Hydro Cannon |
| Luxray | Psychic Fangs |
Lastly, there are the usual Avatar items, including a free shirt and a limited number of in-person T-shirts you can buy from a merch stand in the park for 3,700 Yen.
