Event guide
Prioritise the encounters you want
Into the Wild gives you two routes to shiny hunting: featured Pokémon including Regidrago, Meltan, Magnemite, Noibat and Togedemaru, plus raids featuring Druddigon, Orthworm, Zacian and Zamazenta. Shiny forms are available for all of those encounters, but there’s no reason to chase every option if you only want a few.
Make time for the Mystery Box if Meltan is on your list: opening it brings a chance to encounter Shiny Meltan, and the wait before you can open it again is reduced during the event. Using a Coin Bag also brings a chance to encounter Shiny Gimmighoul. Daily Discoveries are paused from November 9 through November 15, so don’t plan around them.
Use the bonuses that fit your plans
Remote raiders get an increased limit of 30 from November 9 to November 13, followed by no Remote Raid limit from November 14 to November 15. That’s the clearest reason to schedule raid sessions for the weekend if you want to raid without a daily cap.
The GO Pass rewards are more situational. Rank 25 unlocks half Hatch Distance for Eggs placed in Incubators during the event. GO Pass Deluxe adds 5,000 XP for completed raids and 5,000 XP for completed Max Battles at Deluxe Rank 1; Deluxe Rank 2 reduces Max Particle costs for unlocking and powering up Max Moves to three-quarters; Deluxe Rank 3 adds Candy and, for Trainers level 31 and up, Candy XL from raids and Max Battles.
Is it worth your time?
Yes if you want shiny chances for the featured Pokémon, especially Meltan or Gimmighoul, or want to make the most of the uncapped Remote Raids from November 14 to November 15. If neither shiny hunting nor raiding is a priority, the event’s strongest bonuses are easy to skip; the stickers and pass rewards alone aren’t a compelling reason to rearrange your plans.
