To get mass outbreaks faster, simply exit and re-enter Jubilife Village, head to the Front Gate, and if Ress (the gate guard) doesn’t mention reports of a Massive Mass Outbreak, select any one of Hisui’s regions (Fieldlands, Mirelands, Highlands, Coastlands, or Icelands), allowing you to potentially trigger a mass outbreak. By repeating this process and utilizing the Sparkling Power sandwich boost, you can increase your chances of encountering a shiny Pokémon during a mass outbreak.
Understanding Mass Outbreaks
Mass outbreaks are large gatherings of a single type of Pokémon that can appear around Paldea, and they reset every day at midnight.
