Get ready for Mass Outbreaks of Baby Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet for the Easter Weekend

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are celebrating the Easter Weekend this year by giving players opportunities to catch a selection of baby Pokémon in Mass Outbreaks, starting Friday March 29th at midnight (UTC), and running through until Sunday March 31st, at 11:59pm (UTC).

During this event, the following Pokémon will be appearing in Mass Outbreaks in the following locations:

• Paldea: Pichu and Happiny
• Kitakami: Munchlax and Riolu
• Blueberry Academy: Elekid and Magby

Pokémon encountered in these Mass Outbreaks are more likely to have the Vigor Mark than those typically encountered in the wild.

To participate in these mass outbreak events, players will need to download and install the latest update data; and to download the latest Poké Portal News. If players have connected their Nintendo Switch system to the internet while playing Pokémon Scarlet or Violet, this should happen automatically. Players can also manually download the Poké Portal News by selecting Poké Portal from the X menu, and then selecting Mystery Gift, and then Check Poké Portal News. A paid Nintendo Switch Online membership is not required.
