The Wild Zone is a feature new to Pokemon Sword & Shield, a wide open area filled with teeming hordes of Pokemon, just waiting to be captured. It’s something fans have been imagining since it was announced the series was coming to console.
You should become familiar with it as soon as possible, as there is a lot here to reward an inquisitive trainer. For one thing, there is plenty of new Pokemon here, and you should spend some time catching as many as you can.
There are Pokemon Dens to contend with, in which you must defeat Gigantamaxed Pokemon, alongside either NPC trainers or real-life players. Defeating them will award you with useful items, the option to capture the Pokemon, and the unique currency known as Watts.
Watts can be used to purchase a variety of helpful things in the Wild Zone, from TM’s to gear upgrades to special kinds of Pokeballs, and are worth seeking out.
