Stony Wilderness is one of the larger Zones in the Wild Area and you’ll find over three different sets of Pokémon you can catch throughout the area’s grass patches located to the west, central and northeast areas. The Pokémon you face here begin at around Level 28 and you’ll also find a whopping 12 Pokémon Dens for all your Max Raid needs. Stony Wilderness serves as more of a hub to the rest of the northern Wild Area, you can access three different Zones from here so you’ll find yourself revisiting this area often.
