Wild Area Event #20: July 2020

This is a Wild Area event held by Sword and Shield. It appears to have some kind of mining theme, with all the Pokémon being at least part Steel, Ground or Rock type.
One can find a Gigantamax Copperajah or Gigantamax Coalossal if they are lucky.

The release of this event was fraught with issues, and the servers had to redistribute the Wild Area News multiple times to try to tackle them.

Note that these are to me memory, and do not have them 100% correct. I'll replace them when proof comes along.
Index 27: Initial Release. Has bugged item (0x1604) as part of the rewards. Crashes the game upon receiving it.
Index 28: Bonus_reward still has bugged item. However on normal_encount (rigel and base), reference to the bugged item has been removed, instead referencing a different award.
However it still appears to be bugged, perhaps server side. These raids could not be done online.
Index 29: ??? (I do not have this)
Index 30: Properly Fixed: Armorite Ore reinstated in the bugged slot of bonus_reward, and normal_encount references that slot.
Index 32: Post Sea Pokémon Invasion

This is a Wild Area event held by Sword and Shield. All the event slots are held by Pokémon that can Gigantamax.
This marks the first time the Gigantamax variants of Gengar, Lapras, and Appletun can be encountered on Pokémon Sword (without being hosted by a player that has Pokémon Shield).

This Wild Area event also sees the return of Gigantamax Snorlax and Gigantamax Toxtricity, which normally cannot be found in the base games without Wild Area events.

Wild Area Event #19: Zeraora Challenge

This is a Wild Area event held by Sword and Shield. Besides Zeraora, all the event slots are held by Pokémon that can Gigantamax.
This event allows Zeraora to spawn as event boss, though important to note that it cannot be caught.
This event also features the shiny Zeraora, at a higher level of difficulty.
If a million Zeraora gets defeated before a deadline, a shiny Zeraora will be gifted to players via HOME.
To qualify, you need to shift a mon into HOME during that period.
This is the first wild area event since the DLC Isle of Armor dropped.
It adds a new file, called normal_encount_rigel1.
It either means players with the DLC can have their own event raids (across all of Galar),
or these event raids only apply to Isle of Armor.
