Something big is happening in the world of Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/a>, and you won\u2019t need a plane ticket to join the fun. Following the success of its first-ever Wild Area event, Niantic is bringing the experience back, this time to Nagasaki, Japan, from November 7 to 9<\/a>; it\u2019s an already sold-out event! <\/p>\n

The real excitement for most of us kicks off the following weekend (Nov 15-16), when the adventure goes global<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dark- and Fairy-type Pok\u00e9mon Take the Spotlight<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of the mystical and mischievous, this event is tailor-made for you. The Wild Area: Global event centres on Dark- and Fairy-type Pok\u00e9mon, appearing in two themed rotating hours. Keep your eyes peeled for the global debut of Shiny Impidimp and Shiny Hatenna, both making their sparkling first appearances in Pok\u00e9mon GO.<\/p>\n

And the star of the show? Grimmsnarl. Trainers can finally add this fan-favourite Dark- and Fairy-type to their team by catching Impidimp in the wild or from 5 km eggs, then evolving it all the way through Morgrem to Grimmsnarl.<\/p>\n

Shadow Raids, Mighty Pok\u00e9mon, and More<\/p>\n

Team GO Rocket is stirring up trouble once again. This time, they\u2019re bringing some serious firepower. During the event, Trainers can take on Shadow Raids featuring Shadow Darkrai (its first appearance in Pok\u00e9mon GO!) and Shadow Cresselia. If luck\u2019s on your side, you might even encounter their Shiny versions.<\/p>\n

For those who love a challenge, Mighty Pok\u00e9mon are also coming back. These special Pok\u00e9mon are stronger than usual, with higher Attack, Defense, and HP stats, and are more likely to be XL or XXL. The selection will vary each day, so there\u2019s always something new to chase.<\/p>\n

Choose Your Path: Dark or Fairy<\/p>\n

As part of the event\u2019s Themed Special Research, Trainers can pick between Dark- or Fairy-type paths, unlocking exclusive rewards and earning one of two in-game medals. Whether you prefer your Pok\u00e9mon spooky or sparkly, you\u2019ll be rewarded for diving into the theme.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget the special event bonuses. All Trainers will receive up to three free Raid Passes per day and an increased Max Particle collection limit. If you pick up a GO Wild Area: Global ticket for $17.99 AUD, you\u2019ll get even more perks with up to six free Raid Passes, a boosted Max Particle collection limit, and additional event bonuses.<\/p>\n
