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 event boosts the appearance rate of Silicobra, Ekans, and Seviper, significantly increasing the chances of encountering their Shiny variants.
This limited-time event, running from January 9th to 12th, offers players a fantastic opportunity to add these serpentine Pokémon to their collections. The event follows the recent Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid, a successful conclusion to the Year of the Dragon.
Event Details:
- Duration: January 9th, 7:00 PM EST – January 12th, 6:59 PM EST
- Pokémon: Silicobra (various locations), Ekans (Kitakami region), Seviper (Terarium)
- Level Range: 10-65 (depending on game progress)
- Shiny Odds: Increased to 0.5% before any multipliers (Shiny Sandwich recommended)
- Access: Requires an internet connection; access the event via the in-game Poke Portal News.
Shiny Hunting Tips:
To maximize your Shiny encounter chances, consider crafting a Shiny Sandwich. For Ekans and Seviper, use a Salty or Spicy Herba Mystica with a Green Bell Pepper. For Silicobra, substitute the pepper with Ham.
The Future of Scarlet and Violet:
With the potential launch of Pokémon Legends: Z-A in 2025, the future direction of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet remains uncertain. The Pokémon Company's plans for the Year of the Snake are yet to be revealed.
