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 of the new features added was that of Mass Outbreaks. The addition of these have changed the way that Pokémon can be encountered and captured in Pokémon Legends: Arceus!
Mass Outbreaks
As the player progresses through the game, they will learn about Mass Outbreaks happening at random spots on the overworld. Mass Outbreaks are basically swarms of certain species of Pokémon gathering or spawning at a certain spot. Each area can have one Mass Outbreak happening at any point of time.
There can be up to four different species congregating at Mass Outbreaks. Once the player either defeats or captures most of them, more Pokémon will keep spawning. This will continue until the Mass Outbreak timer runs out or the player defeats/captures all of the Pokémon.
Each Mass Outbreak can have anywhere between 10 to 15 Pokémon, but will any of them be Starter Pokémon?
Starter Pokémon Mass Outbreaks?
Unfortunately for collectors, from what we know so far, there is no way to trigger a Mass Outbreak of Starter Pokémon in this game. There are still ways to acquire the other Starter Pokémon if the player chooses to do so, as mentioned here.
As always, if there are any changes made, we will keep you updated!
