Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Mass Outbreak Not Working Solution
In our Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Mass Outbreak Not Working Solution guide, we are going to give you several fixes for the Mass Outbreaks not appearing or not showing up. The cause of this problem can be a bug, but it doesn’t have to be. So, here are some possible scenarios for why these events are not working for you and what to do about it.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Mass Outbreaks Not Working Solutions
There are several potential solutions for the Mass Outbreak not spawning, or not appearing, or not showing in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The first one is pretty simple: it might be the wrong time of day. Sometimes, the Mass Outbreaks include Pokemon that can only spawn at night, or in the daylight. So, just wait patiently until the time of day changes. Another thing that can prevent you from participating in Mass Outbreaks is that you haven’t gotten far enough in the game’s main story. You need to get to the Academy and start the Treasure Hunt. Only then will you be able to see these events. Don’t worry, this happens fairly early in the main quest.
The third and final solution we have for the Mass Outbreak events not working in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is actually a bug fix. Namely, it seems like Pokemon that are supposed to be in the Outbreak sometimes appear in walls or in the ground. Because, you know, Scarlet and Violet are not exactly the most glitch-free games out there. If that happens, you can simply go on a picnic to reset the spawn. You might have to do this several times. In case that doesn’t work, try changing the time in your settings in the hopes of “dislodging” this bug. Those are all the fixes we are aware of. If you know of any other solutions, let us know in the comments.
I open my map, see a outbreak that I want, go to the outbreak area, and it doesn’t give me the text in the corner saying I found the outbreak and so no pokemon from the outbreak spawn.
Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I’m seeing a charcadet outbreak supposedly on top the rock formation behind the Pokémon League. Weird location, but ok. Problem is, no matter what I do, picnic, game reset, time change, etc., not a single charcadet is spawning.
A Eevee outbreak spawned in the olive roll area and I haven’t seen a single one spawn anywhere near it i tried reseting, picnics, i even went out of bounds to see where the heck the eevees are there was nothing.
My outbreaks haven’t hanged for the past three days! It’s all the same spawns in the same locations. I’ve exited out the game and reloaded, still only showing me the same outbreaks.
Save in different locations and the outbreaks will be different. I noticed I was getting the same outbreaks day after day and then I saved in a new location and all of the outbreaks were different when they spawned next day
The issue I’ve been having is that I never get more than 3 to spawn after leaving a picnic, period. I can sit there all day after leaving a picnic and I won’t get more than three until I drive and pan the camera around
If you are only getting a couple Pokémon to spawn in an outbreak after a picnic just run from the area (or fly) and come back. Sometimes when you picnic you are too close to the spawn points they are trying to use
Dealing with this exact issue with Mareep. Almost nothing spawns & Mareep are common in the area already so that makes things confusing…Idk what to do.
