Wild Area News is a feature in Pokémon Sword and Shield that expands on the available Max Raid Battles in the Wild Area, making certain Pokémon more common for a limited time. It can be accessed via Mystery Gift or updated automatically by connecting to the internet in game. Wild Area News typically spawn different Max Raid Battles depending on the game version. Certain species of Gigantamax Pokémon, which are usually very rare, are often made more common through Wild Area News events. These events are also currently the only way to obtain Gigantamax Snorlax, Gigantamax Toxtricity, and most forms of Gigantamax Alcremie. Additionally, during the Wild Area News events, certain Pokémon such as Mewtwo sometimes cannot be captured.

Any den can spawn a Max Raid Battle from Wild Area News. Dens that do so will always emit a red beam, indicating the "common" pool.
