[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet] Prepare for Mass Outbreaks of Ghost-Type Pokémon!
Ghost Types Gather for a Ghoulishly Good Time!
As shadows fall, Ghost-type Pokémon rise for some fa-boo-lous fun. From Friday, October 27, 2023, at 00:00 UTC to Tuesday, October 31, 2023, at 23:59 UTC, mass outbreaks of Drifloon, Phantump, Mimikyu, and Greavard will be appearing throughout Paldea and Kitakami.

What Is a Mass Outbreak?
Mass outbreaks are a phenomenon in which many of the same species of Pokémon appear in one location. After the release of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 1: The Teal Mask for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet, limited-time mass outbreak events will begin. During these events, certain Pokémon will become more likely to appear in mass outbreaks!
