As with other Mass Outbreaks, these festive outbreaks will have an increased chance of spawning Shinies, so those looking to catch a rare Flabebe, Litwick, or Milcery should be on the lookout.

Additionally, according to the blog post, all trainers have to do to participate in these specific Mass Outbreaks is download the latest update for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Should players not have the DLC expansions they will still be able to encounter Flabebe’s Mass Outbreak around Paldea, though they will not have access to either Kitakami or the Blueberry Academy.

It won’t be much longer until Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s second DLC expansion, the Indigo Disk, is released. Until then, stay tuned for more of our Pokemon Scarlet & Violet coverage in the lead-up to release.
