How Many Mass Outbreaks Spawn?
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Mass Outbreaks are a unique feature that provides a unique opportunity to catch a large number of Pokémon at once. But how often do these outbreaks occur, and are there any strategies to increase your chances of catching rare or shiny Pokémon? Let’s dive in and explore the answers to these questions.
Each Mass Outbreak Spawns Between 10 to 15 Pokémon
According to the developers, each Mass Outbreak will spawn between 10 to 15 Pokémon. This means that you’ll have a unique opportunity to catch a small group of Pokémon that wouldn’t normally be found together.
How to Trigger a Mass Outbreak
To trigger a Mass Outbreak, you simply need to return to Jubilife Village from one of the five big areas. This triggers a 20% chance of an outbreak happening in each of the areas. When you enter the area, you’ll know if an outbreak is happening by the Poké Balls floating in the air.
Rarity of Mass Outbreaks
The rarity of Mass Outbreaks depends on the area you’re in. However, there is a fixed 20% chance that a Mass Outbreak will occur when you leave Jubilife Village. This means that every time you exit the village, there is a chance that a Mass Outbreak will happen.
Mass Outbreak Rate with Shiny Charm
So, how often do Mass Outbreaks occur with the Shiny Charm? The answer is still a fixed 20% chance, which is 1 in 5. However, the Shiny Charm increases the chances of certain Pokémon being shiny, which is exciting for collectors!
Conclusion
In conclusion, Mass Outbreaks in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet provide a unique opportunity to catch a group of Pokémon at once. With a 20% chance of each Mass Outbreak occurring, the rate is still relatively low, but not impossible to achieve. By leaving Jubilife Village regularly, you can increase your chances of stumbling upon a Mass Outbreak, giving you the opportunity to catch some rare and exciting Pokémon.
