Any [[Pokémon Den]] can spawn a Max Raid Battle from Wild Area News. Pokémon Dens that do so will always emit a red beam, indicating the "common" pool. In contrast to normal Max Raid Battles (which either only allow Pokémon in 4★ and 5★ raids to have their {{Hidden Ability|Abilities}}, or guarantee Pokémon in the Pokémon Den will always have their Hidden Abilities), all Pokémon that spawn from Wild Area News have a chance of having their Hidden Abilities. Wild Area News Raids battled after [[Pokémon Sword and Shield#Version history|Version 1.2.0 and 1.3.0]] can drop [[Armorite Ore]] and [[Dynite Ore]], respectively, regardless of whether or not the player has purchased the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

On October 13th, 2022, the [[Pokémon HOME]] news section announced that the final update for Wild Area News would be on November 1st, 2022, with event raids "featuring Pokémon that did not previously appear during normal play, such as [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Snorlax}}", after which Wild Area News would receive no further updates.

Currently, when no other Wild Area News event is active, any [[Pokémon Den]] that would normally contain an event raid will default to the April 5th, 2021 event data:

The following lists, in reverse chronological order, the encounter rates for [[Max Raid Battle]]s from different Wild Area News events.


===Default===
===November 1, 2022, to End-of-life===
This Wild Area News focuses on [[Galar]] Pokémon that have the potential to [[Gigantamax]], though none of them have the Gigantamax Factor, as well as {{p|Ditto}}.
This Wild Area News focuses on [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, several of which are not typically available in the wild, as well as {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Wooloo}}, and {{p|Dubwool}}.


Starting April 5th, 2021, this Wild Area News data is used as the default "event data" for any [[Pokémon Den]] that is flagged to use the Wild Area News data, but no Wild Area News event is active.  
The Pokémon HOME news section described these event raids as "featuring Pokémon that did not previously appear during normal play, such as [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Snorlax}}", and announced that Wild Area News would receive no further updates following this final update.  


It becomes unavailable when any other Wild Area News event is in progress, but is otherwise available indefinitely.<ref>https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/4450-wild-area-event-42-monthly-default/</ref>
It is assumed this event will be available via Wild Area News until the [[Nintendo Switch]] eventually reaches {{wp|End-of-life product|End-of-life}}, at which point Wild Area News will become inaccessible, as servers will have shutdown.
