Event Overview
- From now until January 12, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are featuring a limited-time Snakelike Mass Outbreak event, enhancing Shiny encounter opportunities.
- Participants can expect to find higher numbers of Silicobra, Ekans, and Seviper during this period.
- With the transition to the Year of the Snake in 2025, the future of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet raises intriguing questions.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet trainers are invited to take part in a special Mass Outbreak event celebrating the Year of the Snake. This exciting event, which will last for just one weekend, promises players increased odds of discovering Shiny versions of the featured Pokémon: Silicobra, Ekans, and Seviper.
The current Mass Outbreak kicked off soon after a thrilling Tera raid event featuring a Shiny Rayquaza, which marked the close of 2024. Typically, Rayquaza can only be encountered in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet after players have made advancements in the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC and The Indigo Disk. However, the Shiny variant remains a rare find, making the Tera raid a prime opportunity for trainers to capture it easily. Rayquaza’s vulnerability to Fairy attacks ensured that the raid was not overly challenging, creating a fitting conclusion to the Year of the Dragon.
Details of the Snakelike Mass Outbreak (January 2025)
As 2025 ushers in the Year of the Snake, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players can dive into this thrilling event. According to Serebii.net, the Snakelike Pokémon Mass Outbreak commenced on Thursday, January 9, at 7:00 PM ET and will continue until Sunday, January 12, at 6:59 PM ET.

- The Mass Outbreak continues until January 12, with heightened Shiny encounter chances.
- Players can seek out Silicobra, Ekans, and Seviper, all appearing in enlarged numbers.
- This event aligns with the upcoming Year of the Snake theme.

The Pokémon taking part in the Snakelike Mass Outbreak feature a 0.5% increased Shiny chance before any modifiers are considered. Trainers aiming to capture Shiny Silicobra, Ekans, or Seviper can further improve their odds by crafting a Shiny Sandwich. For Ekans and Seviper, a combination of Salty or Spicy Herba Mystica along with a Green Bell Pepper is effective, while a Ham should be used for Silicobra.
As we step into 2025, speculations arise about the future of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, especially with potential developments for Pokémon Legends: Z-A on the horizon. As the Year of the Snake unfolds, players eagerly await to see what surprises The Pokémon Company will unveil.
