We hope you’ve got an appetite for some spicy Max Raid
Battles in Pokémon
Sword and Pokémon Shield! Until July 11, 2021, at 4:59 p.m. PDT, Pokémon Dens will be occupied by Pokémon
that inspired the games’ curry Taste Ratings. Be on the lookout for Koffing, Wobbuffet,
Milcery, Gigantamax Charizard, and Gigantamax Copperajah appearing more
frequently in Max Raid Battles. Very rarely, you may even encounter a Shiny
Gigantamax Copperajah.
If you manage to defeat a Pokémon in a Max Raid Battle
during this event, you’ll receive Bach’s Food Tin in Pokémon Sword or Bob’s
Food Tin in Pokémon Shield—rare
ingredients that can be used to prepare curry at your Pokémon Camp to help you
complete your Curry Dex!
For an opportunity
to encounter these Pokémon in a Max Raid Battle, you’ll need to connect your
Nintendo Switch system to the internet through Y-Comm or by selecting Mystery
Gift in the X menu, then selecting Get the Wild Area News.
After that, whenever you see a pillar of light shining from a Pokémon Den, you
can walk up to the Pokémon Den and interact with it to start a Max Raid Battle
with a Dynamax Pokémon. Usually, there’ll be an extremely
small possibility a Gigantamax Pokémon will appear instead of a Dynamax
Pokémon, but during an event, certain Gigantamax Pokémon are more likely to
appear. This event does not
affect the Pokémon encountered within Dynamax Adventures.
Be sure to read our
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Max Raid Battle Tips article for advice on how to topple these
opponents. Don’t wait, though—you won’t want to miss out on the chance to add
these Pokémon to your team!
