Pokémon Sword and Shield’s Galar region can be daunting, mainly because of the Wild Area.

The Wild Area is split into parts that have different weather, Pokémon spawns, and items scattered about. To make things easier, we’ve taken the map from the game, stitched it together, and labeled all the various locations so you can see it all at once.

From the grassy fields outside of Turffield to the icy mountains around Circhester and Wyndon, the game has a lot of different biomes to host a ton of different Pokémon, each belonging to their own unique areas. While the Wild Area hosts nearly all of the Pokémon depending on the current weather, it’s often easy to find out where the Pokémon lives outside the Wild Area and head there.

Traveling in the game is made easy using the Corviknight taxi system, allowing you to fly around anywhere (as long as you’ve been there once before) pretty soon after starting the game.

For full details, check out the map below.
