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!
