Pokémon GO Into the Wild Event Priorities and Raid Guide

To maximize progress during the Pokémon GO Into the Wild event, spend your daily free Gym raid passes on rotating Origin Forme and Primal bosses, raise a Dynamax Ground attacker to clear Toxtricity Max Battles, and cycle 10 km eggs to collect Toxel candy.

Daily Legendary and Primal Raid Priorities

The event features rotating daily Tier 5 and Primal raid bosses. Origin Forme Dialga and Origin Forme Palkia offer signature Adventure Effects, while Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon provide top-tier PvE attacking power and elemental catch bonuses.

Raid Boss	Typing	Weaknesses to Target	Priority Value
Origin Forme Dialga	Steel / Dragon	Fighting, Ground	Roar of Time pauses timer-based consumable items
Origin Forme Palkia	Water / Dragon	Dragon, Fairy	Spacial Rend temporarily expands the wild spawn radius
Primal Kyogre	Water	Electric, Grass	Elite Water-type PvE raid attacker
Primal Groudon	Ground / Fire	Water, Ground	Premier Ground-type PvE attacker and Candy booster

Spend your daily free raid pass at local Gyms before committing premium or remote resources. If you are targeting Adventure Effects, focus your passes on Dialga and Palkia raid hours to secure catches with high individual values (IVs). Increased Remote Raid limits during the week allow cross-time-zone participation, but daily free passes should anchor your regular routine.

Max Battle Strategy: Drilbur to Toxtricity

Dynamax Toxtricity debuts in Power Spot Max Battles alongside Tier 1 Dynamax Drilbur. Because Toxtricity has a double weakness to Ground-type attacks, building an Excadrill early streamlines higher-tier clears.

Collect daily Max Particles: Interact with Power Spots and walk daily kilometer milestones to hit the daily 800-to-1,000 particle cap.
Defeat Tier 1 Dynamax Drilbur: Spend small particle amounts on Drilbur encounters to secure high-IV specimens and Drilbur Candy.
Evolve and upgrade Excadrill: Evolve Drilbur into Excadrill, then unlock and upgrade its Ground-type Max Strike and Max Guard moves.
Challenge Dynamax Toxtricity: Deploy your Ground-type Dynamax Excadrill to deal double-effective damage, shortening battle duration and preserving healing items.

Hatching and Evolving Toxel

Toxel debuts in 10 km eggs during this event, with its shiny variant available. Evolving Toxel into either Amped Form or Low Key Form Toxtricity requires 400 Candy, making egg turnover the primary bottleneck.

Clear egg space early: Walk off existing lower-distance eggs before spinning PokéStops and Gyms during event hours to ensure incoming drops are 10 km eggs.
Assign Super Incubators to 10 km drops: Reserve Super Incubators for 10 km eggs to gain the largest raw distance reduction.
Sync Star Pieces: Synchronize multiple 10 km egg hatches and activate a Star Piece right before they open to maximize Stardust yields.
Trade duplicate hatches: Trade extra hatched Toxel with friends to gain guaranteed trade candies, reducing the need for Rare Candies.

Free Timed Research and Wild Spawns

The free Timed Research track awards themed encounters, Poké Balls, Stardust, and Silver Pinap Berries. These tasks expire strictly when the event ends, so clear tasks requiring daily interactions—such as spinning Photo Discs or winning Gym raids—early in the week.

Wild spawns center on Poison- and Electric-type Pokémon, including Magnemite, Gastly, and Roselia. Activate an active Mega Evolution with a matching type, such as Mega Gengar, Mega Beedrill, or Mega Manectric, to secure bonus regular Candy and higher chances of XL Candy on every featured catch.
