With the release of the first half of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon Sword & Shield's expansion pass, The Isle of Armor, players are now able to catch a range of Pokémon that were previously unobtainable, as well as explore a whole new region and Wild Are♑a.
While the various biomes all generally look spectacular and are a welcome upgrade on the origin🧜al Wild Area, not all are created equal,ꦛ with some areas housing significantly better wild encounters or items than others.
15 H🍌oneycalm Island 🎀
While the design of the island is interesting, it is severely lacking in the item and Pokémon department. The only wild Pokémon that spawn here are Combee, Petilil, and th💙eir evol🧸utions, and that goes for the many Raid Dens present here as well. The only real draw is that there are many lost Digletts to be found.
The surrounding Honeycalm Sea is a little better, but for the most part, it's just sparsely placed Raid De𓃲ns whose encounters can be found♕ in more interesting places.
14 ♈Warm-Up Tunnel
Warm-Up Tunnel isn't much better than Honeycalm Island, but it is at least a spawn point for Max mushrooms, which makes it worth revisiting every now and then. The only real standout Pokémon here is Kangaskhan, but they spawn more frequently elsewhere so it's not really worth trying to find onಞe here.
13 Soothing Wetlands ♊
While the Soothing Wetlands looks fantastic and is easily one of the more visually pleasing biomes, what lives here is somewhat lacking. The place is swarming with Skorupi, Wooper, and their evolutions, though it is also one of the areas𒁏 that can drop random Nature Mints in shining areas🧸.
Notable wild e𓄧ncounters here are Pol😼itoed and Zoroa, but everything else is more annoying than exciting aside from Luxray, who only appears during a thunderstorm.
12 🍰 𝓀 Potbottom Desert
The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:desert area is the 𒀰only reason you need to go🦄 through the Warm-Up Tunnel, although it is pretty barren in terms of Pokémon and items. Notable wild encounters are Rhyperior, Sandile, and Volcarona, and the only decent item is a Protector should you want to evolve your Rhydon.
11 Brawler's Cave ♛
Brawler's Cave is fairly short and littered with annoying Pokémon like Woobat and Whismur, though it makes up for this with its Raid Den and some overworld encounters. The single Den inside the cave is home to the likes of Bisharp, Lucario, 🎃and Magnezone, and the cave itself is home to a Poliwrath and Druddigon.
This is also one of the few places that spawn Max Mushrooms, so it is worth going back to after every few Raid battle൩s.
10 ꦡ 🌳Courageous Cavern
Like Brawler's Cave, this area is fairly small but packs a few choice Pokémon and items. There are many more Raid Dens here, notably for Pol🦹itoed, Drednaw, and Krookodile, as well as overworld Druddigon and Golisopod. Like the other caves in the Isle, this is a spawn point for Max Mushrooms.
9 Stepping Sto𒁃ne Sea 🍃
In general, the open ocean parts of Isle of Armor don't have a whole lot going for them, aside from some strange Raid Dens and the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:murderous Sharpedo.
While Stepping Stone Sea is no exception, it does have the honor of housing one of the Gigantamax Blastoise Raid Dens, if players didn't take Squirtle from Honey and Mustard. It is also home to the Cᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚlawitzer and Dragalge spawns, as well as a Toxic Orb if play𒐪ers have yet to find one.
8 🍌 Insular Sea
There's a lot to the Insular Sea, but not all of it is worth exploring. The most notable aspect of this area is the large isl♉and in the middle, which houses the likes of Alakazam, Volcarona, Magnezone, and Exeggutor.
The Raid Dens in the area are nothing special♎, but the island is home to one of the spawn points for random Nature Mints.
7 Loo🥀p Lagoon
One of ꧋the most easily missed areas in the Isle of Armo🦩r is the Loop Lagoon, a cornered off section of water with an island at the center. This area lacks any notable items, but more than makes up for it with its wild encounters.
The main draws here are the special overworld Pokémon, including Alakazam, Zoroark, Talonflame, La♔rvesta, and Luxray. The Raid Dens are also nothing to scoff at, holding the likes of King⛄dra, Charizard, and Goodra.
6 ꦡ Forest of Focus 🌃
The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:forest area is dense in design, and it's easy for players to get lost trying to make their way to the other side, but makes up for it by having a handful of good overworld encounters and decent Raid Dens🔜.
Gigantamax Venusaur can be found here if players didn't take Bulbasaur from Honey and Mustard, and wild Azumaril, Zoroa, Pikachu, and Emolga can be run into. There are also a fair few Berry trees for players who want t🥂o farm Apricorns.
