Learn how to enter the Wild Area in Pokemon Sword and Shield! This guide covers the Meetup Spot, speaking with NPCs, and getting the crucial Pokémon Box Link.
Alright, so you've just stepped off the train and you're ready to explore the Wild Area in Pokémon Sword and Shield. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward!
When you first exit the Wild Area station, you'll find yourself in the Meetup Spot. It's a small area, and you won't find any wild Pokémon here just yet, but it's your gateway to the big stuff. Your first task is to head north, towards the person standing near the train station. If you need to heal up your Pokémon, this is the person to talk to.
After that, keep going north past her to find Hop. He's chilling between two fences. Chat with him for a bit, and he'll point you towards Motostoke – you can spot it in the distance by its giant steeple. While you're chatting with Hop, Sonia will show up and give you a super important item: the Pokémon Box Link. Make sure you grab it!
Once you regain control of your character, just head north through the fences. You'll then arrive in the next zone, and you'll officially be in the Wild Area!
