The Pokemon Company has announced a new Wild Area Event starting for Pokemon Sword And Shield today.

This new Wild Area Event will increase the likelihood of the following Gigantamax Pokemon spawning in Raid Battles:

• Pokemon Sword
  • Gigantamax Coalossal
  • Gigantamax Flapple
• Pokemon Shield
  • Gigantamax Lapras
  • Gigantamax Appletun

Currently, it is not clear if this Wild Area Event will replace the Gigantamax Butterfree Event that started upon the games’ release. We will update our Raid Battle Guide with more details as they come.

[UPDATE]: Dataminers have confirmed that this new event replaces the old Gigantamax Butterfree Event. Our Raid Battle Guide has been updated with all the details.
