The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Wild Area in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sword & Shield is home to many different Pokémon and, between the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:overworld spawns and 🦩Raid Den battles, you can find just about everything you are looking for in this one area. Whi꧙le some Pokémon are more annoying to encounter than others, there are more Pokémon worth taking ♐the time to catch than not.
Some of these Pokémon are strong overworld encounters, meaning you may have to retu🤡rn to the spot later in the game if yo꧑u actually want to catch them, but for the most part, those Pokémon are worth the wait and are some of the best in the game by a wide margin.
10 Pelipper
Wingull can be caught very early in the game, being found in the Rolling Fields as soon as the Wild Area opens up to the player. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pelipper, on the other hand, is a strong spawn overworld encounter that likes to hang around the lakeside and can't be caught until a few badges have been won. That being said, Pelipper is a much stronger Pokémon now than it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:was back in Ruby & Sapphire, as its Drizzle ability not only boosts the power of its Water-type attacks so it can deal decent damage but also allows it to use Hurricane, a base 110 damage Flying-type move with a chance to inflict confusion, without the fear of missing. Drizzle is also a very 16ജ8澳洲幸运5开奖网:useful ability if you chose So🃏bble or Grookey as your starter since the Rain increases the damage of♕ Water-type attacks while wea✃kening Fire-type attacks.
9 Hawlucha
Unfortunately, Hawlucha can't be found nearly as early as it could in Sun & Moon, but tha✅t doesn't mean it isn't worth catching. This Flying/Fighting-type Pokémon can be found just outside of Hammerlocke in Hammerlocke Hills, but can also be found in several Raid Dens in North Lake Miloch and Rolling Fields, though not until you have won at least 6 badges and unlocked level 4 raids. Even late in the game, Hawlucha is able to deal devastating damage, not to mention it has one of the best shiny forms around.
8 Gengar
Normally, Pokémon games don't like to just give the player a trade-evolution without putting in the effort of actually finding someone to trade with, though Sword & Shield seems to rectify this as you can find just about every trade evolution in the wild, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:including Gen🧸ga🅠r, which is found in Giant's Cap just before the Lake of Outrage.
While Gengar is a very powerful overworld encounter and is only able to be cauꦅght after obtain🙈ing all 8 badges, it is well worth the wait and is capable of decimating even the strongest Pokémon League participant single-handedly when given the right moveset.
7 Milotic
Unfortunately, Milotic isn't easily able to be caught until after you have become champion, since it only appears in the Lake of Outrage during 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Foggy weather, which only unlocks after defeating Leon. Despite this, it is much easier to catch a Milotic than it is to try and evolve a Feebas, especially if you don't have anyone to trade with and Milotic is a great Pokémon no matter where you are in the game. If you really want a Milotic earlier than this, you can find one in the Raid Den on the water in the Lake of Outrage, though it has an abysmal 2% encounter rate and only in 5-star rare rai⛦ds, making it one of the harder non-Gigantamax Pokémon to find.
6 Dusknoir
Alth🐲ough it isn't as useful a Ghost-type Pokémon as Gengar, Dusknoir is still a great addition to any team. Dusknoir can be seen roaming the Stony Wilderness on your way up to Hammerlocke, but you won't be able to catch it until you have obtained all 8 badges, since, like Gengar, it is a level 60 Pokémon. You can also find them in the Raid Den overlooking the lake in South Lake Miloch, but only after obtaining all 8 badges and unlocking 5-star raids, where it can be found 15% of the time in rare raids.
5 Gallade
If you breeze through Bridge Field, it is entirely possible to෴ miss the fact that there is a wild Gallade roaming around a small island, though this could also be because there are strong wild Gyarados protecting it from you. Like many other good Pokémon in the Wild Area, you will need all 8 badges in order to catch it, both as an overworld encounter in Bridge Field and its Raid Den spawns, as it appears in the same raid dens as Hawlucha though only in 5-star rare raids.
4 Steelix
Steelix is a Pokémon that most players have accidentally run into at one point or another due to the short draw distance of the Wild Area and its large model size. Steeli෴x can be found in both Giant's Seat 🗹and Giant's Mirror at level 50, meaning you need at least 7 badges before you can catch its overworld encounters.
If you want to catch one 🦩through a Max Raid battle, however, you will need to obtain 8 badges inste🀅ad, since it only appears in 5-star raids, though it is definitely worth the wait due to its insane defensive stats and decent offensive stats, though you definitely don't want to use it against Leon.
3 Aegislash
Although you can theoretically obtain Aegislash much earlier by simply catching and training a Honedge or Doublade, you can find Aegislash as an overworld encounter after defeating the Pokémon League, as they only appear in Foggy weathe♔r in the same place that Doublade normally spawns, just outside of Hammerlocke. However, if you missed out on training one and don't want to waste time evolving a Honedge in time for the Pokémon League, you can also catch one in the Raid Den at the Watchtower Ruins, where it is in 5-star rare raids with a 5% encounter rate.
2 ꦆ Tyranitar & Kommo-O 🦹
Although these are༺ version exclusive Pokémon, they can both be found in the same place roaming around the Dusty Bowl, with Tyranitar being exclusive to Shield and Kommo-O being exclusive to Sword. You can also find Kommo-O in the Rolling Fields Raid Den that is often protected by either a Pikachu or Roselia, while Tyranitar can be found in the Raid Den further along the cliff face towards the Watchtower Ruins, though both can only be caught after obtaining all 8 badges no matter which method you chose. However, both Pokémon's evolutionary lines can be found in these same Raid Dens at much lower levels, meaning you don't necessarily need to wait to have one in your party.
1 Ditto
Ditto isn't just useful for breeding Pokémon with perfect IVs or Natures, as there is a Raid Den in Stony Wilderness, just beside the Daycare Center and boxed in by the cliff-face, where you can find not only Ditto with high IVs, but also Ditto with its hidden ability, Imposter. This version of Ditt🍸o is much better for use in batt🅰le since Imposter transforms Ditto without needing to use the move itself, though it only fills a somewhat niche role despite how fun it is to use. Hidden ability Ditto start appearing in this den after obtaining 6 badges, as they spawn in 4-star or higher rare raids at a 25% encounter rate, meaning you shouldn't have to wait too long before finding one.
