As shadows fall, Ghost-type Pokémon rise for some fa-boo-lous fun in this Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet mass outbreak event. Until Tuesday, October 31, 2023, at 4:59 p.m. PDT, mass outbreaks of Drifloon, Phantump, Mimikyu, and Greavard will be appearing throughout Paldea and Kitakami. Lucky Trainers are in for a frightfully festive treat: Pokémon encountered in these special mass outbreaks are more likely to have the Crafty Mark!
Mass outbreaks are a phenomenon in which many of the same species of Pokémon appear in one location, and when you catch a Pokémon with a mark, you can choose to have a title associated with that mark displayed when you send your Pokémon into battle.
To participate in mass outbreak events, you will need to download the latest Poké Portal News and install the latest update data for your game. While purchasing The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero is not required to participate in this mass outbreak event, there may be future mass outbreak events that occur in locations that cannot be accessed without The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero.
