Given its size, it’s no surprise that you’re looking for a Pokemon Sword and Shield Wild Area guide. This is the first truly open world section to arrive in a core Pokemon game, designed to let you freely explore and catch new friends out in the wild. From the Dappled Grove to the Lake of Outrage, we’ve compiled all of the Pokemon you can catch throughout each area in this Pokemon Sword and Shield Wild Area guide.
There’s a lot to see and do in the Pokemon Sword and Shield Wild Area. You can chat to NPCs, take part in the challenging Max Raid Battles, earn and spend Watts, and so much more. This Pokemon Sword and Shield Wild Area Guide details all of the wild Pokemon you can find in the north and south sides of the space, your chance of encountering them, and lists the weather conditions that they will typically spawn in.
Note: The ‘Overworld’ refers to the Pokemon Sword and Shield critters you can actually see before you encounter them – they wander freely around the surface of Galar. ‘Non-Overworld’ refers to encounters that happen when an exclamation mark pops up in tall grass.
