Players, however, have been finding special gold mass outbreaks on their maps throughout Paldea, Kitakami, and The Indigo Disk\u2019s Terarium. What do these gold mass outbreaks exactly mean?\u00a0We\u2019re here to break down everything you need to know about gold mass outbreaks in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet. Gold Mass Outbreaks in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet, explained Gold Mass Outbreaks are part of certain special events happening in the Gen IX games. They not only make certain Pok\u00e9mon species appear more frequently but more importantly, they boost the Shiny odds of that specific Pok\u00e9mon. For example, from Dec. 7 to Dec. 21, Flab\u00e9b\u00e9 gold mass outbreaks are appearing around Paldea, and Litwick gold mass outbreaks are appearing in Kitakami. Milcery joined the event with The Indigo Disk\u2019s release, appearing in gold mass outbreaks in the Terarium. Normal outbreaks already boost Shiny odds, but there\u2019s an even higher chance of finding Shiny Flab\u00e9b\u00e9, Litwick, and Milcery when you go to these special event outbreaks. In other words, if you\u2019re looking for new Shiny Pok\u00e9mon to hunt, your best bet is to see if any gold mass outbreaks are popping up. Since they\u2019re tied to special events, stay up to date on any upcoming and ongoing events happening in Scarlet and Violet. After the Flab\u00e9b\u00e9, Litwick, and Milcery outbreak event ends, for example, the next gold mass outbreak event centers around Delibird from Dec. 22 to Dec. 25, which makes total sense for the Santa-like Pok\u00e9mon. Needless to say, that\u2019s the best time to find your fushia penguin, if you\u2019re willing to Shiny hunt in those gold mass outbreaks.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Pokemon-Delibird-Outbreak.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1071664"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1071664"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1071664\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1071684,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1071664\/revisions\/1071684"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1071666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1071664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1071664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1071664"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1071664"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1071664"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1071664"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1071664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Players, however, have been finding special gold mass outbreaks on their maps throughout Paldea, Kitakami, and The Indigo Disk\u2019s Terarium. What do these gold mass outbreaks exactly mean?\u00a0We\u2019re here to break down everything you need to know about gold mass outbreaks in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet. Gold Mass Outbreaks in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet, explained Gold Mass Outbreaks are part of certain special events happening in the Gen IX games. They not only make certain Pok\u00e9mon species appear more frequently but more importantly, they boost the Shiny odds of that specific Pok\u00e9mon. For example, from Dec. 7 to Dec. 21, Flab\u00e9b\u00e9 gold mass outbreaks are appearing around Paldea, and Litwick gold mass outbreaks are appearing in Kitakami. Milcery joined the event with The Indigo Disk\u2019s release, appearing in gold mass outbreaks in the Terarium. Normal outbreaks already boost Shiny odds, but there\u2019s an even higher chance of finding Shiny Flab\u00e9b\u00e9, Litwick, and Milcery when you go to these special event outbreaks. In other words, if you\u2019re looking for new Shiny Pok\u00e9mon to hunt, your best bet is to see if any gold mass outbreaks are popping up. Since they\u2019re tied to special events, stay up to date on any upcoming and ongoing events happening in Scarlet and Violet. After the Flab\u00e9b\u00e9, Litwick, and Milcery outbreak event ends, for example, the next gold mass outbreak event centers around Delibird from Dec. 22 to Dec. 25, which makes total sense for the Santa-like Pok\u00e9mon. Needless to say, that\u2019s the best time to find your fushia penguin, if you\u2019re willing to Shiny hunt in those gold mass outbreaks.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Pokemon-Delibird-Outbreak.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1071664"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1071664"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1071664\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1071684,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1071664\/revisions\/1071684"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1071666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1071664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1071664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1071664"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1071664"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1071664"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1071664"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1071664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
