Overview

Stony Wilderness is one of the larger Zones in the Wild Area and you’ll find over three different sets of Pokémon you can catch throughout the area’s grass patches located to the west, central and northeast areas. The Pokémon you face here begin at around Level 28 and you’ll also find a whopping 12 Pokémon Dens for all your Max Raid needs. Stony Wilderness serves as more of a hub to the rest of the northern Wild Area, you can access three different Zones from here so you’ll find yourself revisiting this area often.

In Sword and Shield, you explore the Galar region, based on the United Kingdom, alongside rivals Hop, Bede and Marnie, with the aim to dethrone the Pokémon League Champion.

The games introduce several new features such as Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing, functions that increase size and change forms of certain Pokémon; the Wild Area, a large open world with free camera movement; and raids with co-op battling.
