How to Get a Zorua Mass Outbreak in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Pokémon Legends: Arceus was released last month after much fanfare and hype. It is the latest installment in the Pokémon series and takes a much different turn than its predecessors do in terms of storytelling and game mechanics.

The game takes place in the ancient Hisui region, which would become modern-day Sinnoh. Fighting and capturing Pokémon is drastically different with battles taking place on the overworld instead of turn-based instance battles, as was the staple of the series thus far.

One feature that makes its return in a new-and-improved fashion is that of Mass Outbreaks. These have been a major source of fun for trainers and collectors alike.

Mass Outbreaks

Mass Outbreaks are one of the major methods of catching Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. This method involves a massive number of Pokémon of a certain species spawning at a rapid rate in a certain part of the overworld.

Mass Outbreaks also drastically increase the odds of encountering a Shiny Pokémon, so they are a favorite of collectors everywhere! Mass Outbreaks can be identified on the map when a circle with the Pokémon’s face appears in it. During the period of time when that is happening is also when the Shiny Pokémon encounter odds go up dramatically.

This certain mechanic has led players to be able to catch all sorts of Pokémon that were generally deemed too rare to capture. One of those is Zorua, and this is how to encounter a Zorua outbreak.

Zorua Mass Outbreak

Each Pokémon that can have Mass Outbreak spawns, do so at various locations on the overworld. Zorua is one of them and it spawns in the Alabaster Icelands.

As is with any Mass Outbreak, the spawn of any Pokémon is quite random, as is the outbreak spawn itself. If the player runs into a Zorua outbreak, then they can get to catching! If not, generally post-game outbreak spawns have a variety of Pokémon showing up at higher rates they normally wouldn’t before the player finishes the game story.

Happy hunting!
