Pokemon Go Into the Wild Event: Schedule, Rewards & Toxel Introduction

The upcoming Pokémon Go Wild Area Global event is fast approaching, with the exciting Into the Wild event serving as a precursor. Scheduled for mid-November, this event promises to showcase Toxel for the first time and reintroduce legendary Pokémon, Origin Forme Palkia and Dialga. Trainers are advised to prepare for an exciting line-up of activities.

However, trainers should note that the event will feature exclusive paid tickets, priced at up to $10, which will unlock unique bonuses. While there are opportunities for all players, the primary benefits will be reserved for those who opt to purchase these tickets.
