'Throw Wild' quest steps in Pokémon Go
Throw Wild was released for free in Pokémon Go on Saturday 23rd November 2024 as part of the new Wild Area event, which also celebrates the release of Toxel and Toxtricity.
As it's a timed research quest, you have to complete it while the Wild Area event is running, or you miss out on its rewards during the event. You'll want to complete it as soon as you can anyway, as its Safari Ball rewards are only useful during the hours of Wild Area.
Below, you'll find all of the Throw Wild quest steps and rewards in Pokémon Go.

The Wild Area 2024: Global event is this weekend! Throughout it you can catch Pokémon during the habitat hours, use Safari Balls, catch Mighty Pokémon, battle Gigantamax Toxtricity, obtain both Toxtricity Forms and catch a Studded Jacket Snorlax. If you've purchased an event ticket, you can also complete the An Accomplished Trainer quest. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
How Throw Wild works in Pokémon Go
Throw Wild is a timed research quest that is free for all players during the Wild Area event in Pokémon Go. This means Throw Wild started during the Wild Area's start date of Saturday 23rd November, 2024.
As it's a free quest, all you have to do to get Throw Wild is login to the game while the Wild Area event is active, and as it's a timed quest, you must complete it before the Wild Area event ends. It's a good idea to complete the quest as soon as possible anyway, as it rewards Safari Balls, which are only useful during Wild Area anyway.
Outside of these time restrictions, Throw Wild works exactly the same as any other research quest in Pokémon Go where you must complete a series of challenges, collecting rewards as you go, until you've completed a quest step. At this point, you can earn the rewards for the overall step and move on to the next one (if there is a next step), repeating this cycle until the quest is complete.
Good luck completing the Throw Wild quest!
