Pokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers will soon have another limited-time event to participate in, as a Mass Outbreak featuring adorable Electric-type critters will be held the first weekend of July. The upcomingPokemon Scarlet and VioletMass Outbreak will increase the Shiny odds of creatures like Morpeko, Pawmi, and Dedenne.
The featured critters of the early July Mass Outbreak are so-calledPikachu clones, which all share some characteristics with the franchise’s mascot. These features include having the Electric-type as a main type, along with dark eyes and cute rodent-like features. Nearly everyPokemongeneration has had at least one variant of a Pikachu clone, with two of the more recent entries being Morpeko fromPokemon Sword and Shieldand the Pawmi line inPokemon Scarlet and Violet. Though the Pawmi line is capable of evolution, most of the other Pikachu clones are not.
Following the conclusion of the Baxcalibur Tera Raid event,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers will have a different event to prepare for. According to Serebii.net,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetwill host an Electric-type Mass Outbreak event starting Thursday, July 3, at 8:00 PM Eastern, and ending Sunday, July 6, at 7:59 PM Eastern. ThisPokemon Scarlet and Violet Mass Outbreak event will not have a repeat run, so trainers have just three days to catch as many Electric-type critters as possible. In Paldea, waves of Pawmi and Dedenne will be more frequent. Kitakami will see higher quantities of Morpeko and Pachirisu, while the Terarium will have outbreaks of Plusle and Minun. Trainers must connect to the Internet and refresh Poke Portal News once the event begins. Each of these Mass Outbreak clusters will have increased Shiny odds,so using a Shiny Sandwichwith ingredients like Yellow Bell Peppers is recommended before setting out for a Mass Outbreak.

Along with a Shiny Sandwich power and the Shiny Charm, trainers can use another method to further increase their odds of finding a Shiny Pokemon. PlayingPokemon Scarlet and Violeton a Switch 2allows more than 30 Pokemon to appear on the screen simultaneously, meaning the odds of encountering a Shiny variant are increased thanks to the new console’s hardware.
The Electric-type Mass Outbreak event is not the onlyPokemonevent happening in July, as aPokemon Presents episode will air on July 22at 9:00 AM Eastern. Only time will tell what surprises awaitPokemontrainers throughout the month.
