10 Secret Information About the Wild Area in Pokemon Sword and Shield
The Wild Area is a fascinating addition in Pokemon Sword and Shield, most important of which includ the inclusion of Open World that enables trainers to travel, catch Pokemon and fight in a different chronology. While a majority of the aspects or mechanics are known, there are still some other aspects that can further enrich your experience. For this reason, we will outline every relevant aspect that you must have about the Wild Area.
1. The Key Areas and The Zones in Wild Area
The Wild area has been subdivided into several regions that have their own pokemon spawns, vendors and other distinguishing features. Let’s identify what they are:
- Meeting Point: Watt Exchange and Wilderness Station
- Radiant Meadow: Sells ingredients.
- Axew Lake (West/East/Eye): Has a camping site and Watt exchange.
- Old Watchtower: A great location to scout around.
- Milotic Lake (South/North): Favourite locations for fishing.
- Giant’s Chair: Houses a Watt exchange.
- Entrepuentes Valley: Has a Pokemon daycare, Watt exchange and Pozuelo Brothers.
- Cornisa de Artejo: Sells ingredients and has a watt exchange.
- Lake of Outrage: Has spawns of rare breeds.
- Camping Perks: Here, the Camper assesses your Curry Dex and changes the color of your tent depending on the first Pokemon you take out and what is located in your party.
2. Watts A New Form of Currency Used Only in Wild Area
A very defining form of currency in the game is Watts which can be availed in the wild area only and can be used in shopping and trading.
This is how you can gain them:
- Via Pokémon Nests:
- Blank nests: ~50 Wats.
- Filled nests: 300 to 1,500 Watts, based on their rarity.
- From Wild Pokémon:
– Fighting a Pokemon with a yellow aura that indicates a high IV will give you an allowance of 250 watts.
3. Multiple Vendors
Wild Area harbors several vendors who stock different items, as follows:
- Special Poké Balls: Dusk or Nest or Heal Balls.
- Takedown or battle strategies based single-use TMs.
- For Pearl and Nugget items, vendors also trade them in Watts.
Rotom Rally: A timed race to earn additional watts with bonus reward.
4. The Digging Duo
Don’t miss Puzelo brothers who dig valuable things and are located close to the Pokémon Nursery.
- Right Brother: Gives some valuable things whereas more items are brought.
- Left Brother: Gives evolution and fossil stones these are rare items that are less.
Possible Items: - There are Fire, Leaf, and Water type evolution stones.
- Plesio fossil, Dracofossil are also included.
– These comprise Stardust, Rare Bones, and Star Pieces, which are important artifacts.
5. High-Level Pokémon: Why Can’t You Catch Them?
In order to catch high-level Pokemon eg, above level 50 make sure you’ve earned enough Gym Badges first otherwise you won’t succeed.
The level cap on capturing Pokémon is modified by 5 for every badge that you receive.
Tip: These Pokémon could be great while training your team, since they can be used in battles to win a massive amount of XP.
6. Power of Weather
Wild Area weather’s impact extends to spawn slots as well as battles.
- Rain: Completely dominated by Water-types.
- Sandstorms: Rock- and Ground-types get on the rise.
- Snow: Very common Ice-types make an appearance here.
- Sunny: Fire-type lovers would love this place as there are plenty of Fire-types to catch.
Make use of weather to snipe specific Pokémon while pursuing them on the map.
7. Pokemon Nursery: Easiest Way to Breed
The Wild Area Nursery is exclusively focused on breeding Pokémon. Unlike the daycare in previous generations, it does not level your Pokémon.
To get an egg and expand your roster, arange two Pokemon of opposite sex (two Pokemon which are not of the same sex or one Pokemon of any gender with Ditto).
8. Idle Items Re-spawn
Ground items such as those highlighted by sparkling stars reappear every single day. Berries, evolution stones, and curry items are a few of the items that may be needed.
Note: Items shaped like a Poké Ball will not respawn upon being picked up.
9. Camping: Fun and Functional
Not all things are done for enjoyment including camping. There are some real-life advantages of camping as well and some of them are:
- Build-up Friendship: Evolve certain species especially Eevee or others by spending time with them to skyrocket their friendship level.
- Restore HP/PP: Cooking curry heals Pokémon and also brings back those who have fainted.
- Pro Tip: Make better curry by earning ingredients through interacting with other players’ camps online.
10. Squirrel Ambush One
While shaking berry trees be sure to keep the shaking pattern of the tree in view:
- Shake Slowly: Still shaking is safe to keep doing.
- Doesn’t Sway: Swiftly Stop, this is the sign when Pokémon of the type like Skwovet or Greedent is on deck to strike.
This technique if mastered will keep the main goal of gathering berries while keeping unnecessary battle taming out of the way.
