Pokemon Sword and Shield hosting Sudowoodo Max Raid Battle event

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield have just started up a new Max Raid Battle that’s all about Sudowoodo.

Whereas past events have often focused on a particular gimmick like a theme based around Fossil Pokemon, this one’s pretty straightforward. Sudowoodo will be appearing more often, and if you’re lucky enough, you may encounter a Shiny version.

Those that want to participate in the new Max Raid Battle event featuring Sudowoodo will first need to connect their Switch system to the internet. Once a pillar of light begins to appear from a Pokemon Den in the Wild Area, simply walk up to it and interact to have a Max Raid Battle begin.

Note that this event will be running for a limited time. Players only have until April 1, 2022 at 4:59 PM PT / 7:59 PM ET to get involved. A new Max Raid Battle event will presumably be announced not too long after, and we’ll let you know when we have the details.

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are available on Switch. Details regarding the previous Max Raid Battle event can be found here.
