Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's Snake-Themed Mass Outbreak Event

A special Mass Outbreak event is underway in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, celebrating the Year of the Snake! This limited-time event boosts the appearance rate of Silicobra, Ekans, and Seviper, significantly increasing the chances of encountering their Shiny variants.

The event, running from January 9th to 12th, offers players a fantastic opportunity to add these serpentine Pokémon to their collections. Silicobra will appear across Paldea, Ekans in Kitakami, and Seviper in the Terarium. Pokémon levels will vary (10-65) based on player progress in the main storyline.

This event follows the recent Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid, a fitting end to the Year of the Dragon. While the future of Scarlet and Violet in 2025 remains uncertain, particularly with the anticipated launch of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, this Mass Outbreak provides a thrilling distraction.

Event Details:

  • Duration: January 9th (7:00 PM ET) - January 12th (6:59 PM ET)
  • Featured Pokémon: Silicobra, Ekans, Seviper (increased Shiny encounter rates)
  • Locations: Silicobra (all Paldea land areas), Ekans (Kitakami), Seviper (Terarium)
  • Shiny Rate Boost: 0.5% increase before any multipliers (Shiny Sandwiches recommended)
  • Access: Requires an internet connection; access via Poke Portal News.

Shiny Hunting Tips:

To maximize Shiny encounter chances, players are encouraged to utilize Shiny Sandwiches. Recipes include:

  • Ekans & Seviper: Salty or Spicy Herba Mystica, Green Bell Pepper
  • Silicobra: Ham instead of pepper.

The event's 0.5% Shiny rate boost, before any multipliers, combined with the strategic use of Shiny Sandwiches, makes this a prime opportunity for Shiny hunters. Don't miss out on this limited-time event!
