Pokemon GO 2024 Wild Area Fukuoka prep guide

Since the current wave of content in Pokemon GO revolves around the Galar region, Niantic has released a new type of yearly event for the mobile game known as Wild Areas. Much like GO Tours and GO Fests, Wild Areas will have both in-person venues and a global event. For 2024, the in-person event is hosted in Fukuoka, Japan.

Knowing how to prepare for the Wild Areas in-person event can be helpful to the fortunate few who have tickets to attend. Additionally, some tips here may be helpful for when the global rendition of the event comes out.

One of the big debuts coming during Pokemon GO's Wild Area is the Toxel line of Pokemon. Toxel and both forms of Toxtricity are coming to the game. Both Dynamax Toxtricity and its Gigantamax form can be found during the in-person event and the global rendition.

Mighty Pokemon will also debut during the Wild Area event. These rare creatures have a better chance of having high IVs and being either XL or XXL sizes. However, these Pocket Monsters will be much harder to catch compared to the standard variety.

Finally, Niantic is bringing a new type of Poke Ball to Pokemon GO. The Safari Ball is a special type of item with a higher catch rate than the standard Poke Ball, being on-par to the Ultra Ball in the main series. It will also be very easy to find during the Wild Area event, as it can be earned upon completing research tasks.

How to best prepare for 2024's Pokemon GO Wild Area event

The best way for trainers to quickly get some of the strongest Pokemon available in the Wild Area event is to participate in the different Raid Battles. This should be incredibly easy for players at the in-person venue in Fukuoka since many raid locations and Power Spots will be present for the celebration. Many more players will also be around to help in these fights, making them easier to grind.

With this in mind, stocking up on Max Particles and Raid Passes is a great idea. Max Particles can be collected by visiting Power Spots, and Raid Passes can be found by spinning gym photo disks. Both items can also be purchased from the shop in exchange for Pokecoins.

Various upgrades to the event's entry ticket can also be purchased for real money. The Raid Lover's upgrade allows players to earn 18 free Raid Passes per day and grants additional resources. The Egg-Thusiast upgrade greatly lowers the distance required to hatch eggs and grants bonus resources for doing so.
