The arrival of the 2024 Pokémon World Championships in Honolulu, Hawai‘i is also bringing a mass outbreak event in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. As part three of a season-long, four-part event series, Riolu, Comfey, and Wattrel will be appearing in special mass outbreaks from Thursday, August 8, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. PDT to Thursday, August 22, 2024, at 4:59 p.m. PDT.

These three Pokémon are featured on the new artwork created to celebrate the 2024 Pokémon World Championships, and the ones encountered in this event are more likely to have the Pumped-Up Mark. Not only that, but Shiny Pokémon are more likely to appear in these special mass outbreaks, so don’t miss your chance to find one. During the event, look for these artwork stars in the following locations:

• Paldea – Wattrel

• Kitakami – Riolu

• Blueberry Academy – Comfey

Mass outbreaks are a phenomenon in which many of the same species of Pokémon appear in one location. 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.

For even more Worlds-themed fun, don’t miss the special Tera Raid Battle event featuring Chest Form Gimmighoul that’s happening at the same time as this mass outbreak event featuring Riolu, Comfey, and Wattrel!
