 Hello friends, welcome to today's video, my name's Leigh, hope you're all doing great and in today's episode we're going to go over all the details with how you can guarantee a shiny any time you go into a mass outbreak in Pokemon Legends Arceus. So it's been a little while since our last shiny hunting video on the channel and since then we've had a bunch more information come out, it's going to clarify a bunch of things in regards to the mass outbreaks, how they're spawned, how to interact with them, how seeds are generated and how to advance the seeds in the mass outbreak. It's all kind of confusing but hopefully in this video I'm gonna kind of go over it step by step so you come out of it at the end of the video with a better understanding of how mass outbreaks work and how to better approach mass outbreaks so you always guaranteeing yourself at least one shiny or multiple shiny if you want from the same outbreak. Now the first thing to kind of touch on we've done a bunch of shiny hunting streams since Legends Arceus dropped and a common question that we always get asked is I'm looking for mass outbreaks and they're not appearing on my map. Well one of the things I will say is as long as you have quelled Cleaver early on your playthrough and you're gonna have access to mass outbreaks after this point you're gonna have a mass outbreaks appearing on your map. So from this point as long as you go from Jubilife Village into the map you're gonna have about a 20% chance for a outbreak to appear. Kurt Cophonix over on Twitter tweeted this out last week just to confirm these are the spawn rates of a mass outbreak when you check the map from Jubilife Village. So you can see the baseline that you're gonna want to take away from here is every time you do check the map you've got a 20% chance in each of the areas of an outbreak spawning. Obviously discount the ancient retreat it isn't an area and also returning to Jubilife from any area and also leaving Jubilife has a 20% chance to spawn an area that you are not traveling to. So but the baseline like I say is 20% chance every time you check the map of an area having a mass outbreak. So if you haven't got one and trust me I've had times where I've been going into the map over and over again and there are no mass outbreaks it's just bad RNG you just need to have a bit of patience bit of persistence go into a different area come back to Jubilife check the map again and do that over and over until you get the mass outbreak appear. Now in regards to specific Pokemon mass outbreaks appearing I don't know the specific odds for that I don't know if we know that information yet but the baseline is I would say if I hazarded a guess each Pokemon available in the mass outbreaks probably have about the same chance of appearing as any other this might be something that proved completely wrong in future hopefully we do get some information on it but I would say out of all the Pokemon that can appear in a mass outbreak they've probably all got about the same chance and it's just luck of the draw with which one appears as and when in different areas. As we know the main kind of idea about doing a mass outbreak is when you're in Jubilife Village you come to the gate here and you talk to this NPC character and he'll say that there's an outbreak you've got to be careful when you're visiting different areas you can see here we've got a Sneasel one here if you didn't want Sneasel you just want to come to a different area and we know from the tweet from Kurt that it will hopefully despawn the Sneasel outbreak that we've got in the alabaster Iceland is a 20% chance of a despawning but when we come back to Jubilife Village we're going to have another 20% chance in each of the areas of a mass outbreak appearing in those different areas around the Hesui region so you can see we come back into the map here here in outbreaks again and you can see that the Sneasel one is gone and then we've got a Shinks outbreak here in the Coronet Highlands so we can use this as an example here now every time you leave Jubilife Village here and you come into a mass outbreak basically the idea is you come into the mass outbreak and every single Pokemon that is in this mass outbreak is determined on this trip from Jubilife to Coronet Highlands or whichever area you're going to visit where your mass outbreak is so the first thing to do I would always suggest is drop a pin exactly where the outbreak is just drop a pin so you know exactly where you're going and then the next thing to do is just drop a save now we've been through this in the other guide but we're going to go through a few things in this guide today that shows you the best ways of approaching every single mass outbreak so once you've got your save dropped down what we're going to do is make our way over to the area where the outbreak is you know the outbreak is down here you're going to have all your useful items like your stealth spray your smoke bombs sticky globes and ultra balls and jet balls they're going to be kind of your staples with most hunts and you want to just approach the outbreak here and what we're going to do for the first time is we are going to just catch all the Pokemon that is all we're going to do just catch the Pokemon can we can we jet ball them from here I don't know there might be a little bit too far away let's see this is going to work so one two three four five oh a tie oh and there's a shiny there's a shiny there we go okay so five six and this would make this what spawn seven I guess let me catch it okay so how many other left there one two three and they've stopped spawning after that so let's just catch these and let's just say where about this shiny spawned in regards to how many we've got for this out this particular outbreak because they've stopped spawning once you know they stop spawning you can kind of leave an area but the official kind of message it comes up the report Pokemon have gone from this area so we know this outbreak's finished and we can head back to the camp we'll just we just want to check here we just want to check where the shiny spawn this is great for this example so let's just see we want to check our Pokemon we've got four in our party so we've got one two three four they were the initial four that were there we caught all of them then we had two more and then in that next batch of four we had the shiny spawn so we had it spawned on the seventh the seventh slot here and then we had one two three after that so a total of ten Pokemon ten shinks is what we had okay so we know that the shiny spawns in on around the seventh it's around the seventh Pokemon but it's in that second batch of four and from what we know with how outbreaks work is when you leave jubilife and come to an area where an outbreak is all of the Pokemon in that outbreak are predetermined so when you come to an area that's why it's important to drop a save in the camp now you might be saying you've just called the shiny why are you resetting it doesn't matter because we already have that shiny locked in but we have to kind of progress the game in the same sort of way to get that shiny again now if we go now what we're going to do is just show you an example we'll head to that same area the mountain camp I believe it is and instead of catching the Pokemon this time like we just did we're just going to catch the Pokemon one by one and this is going to prove to you that it doesn't matter if you are catching or battling the Pokemon whether or not it changes how the shiny appears so we've put our stealth spray on let's put smoke bomb down here just to give ourselves a bit of cover because shinks are pretty aggro and no one shinks they will attack us and we don't want to be battling these in a multi battle situation we want to be battling these one at a time so there's one so two so that's two so this is three so this is four so the shiny should really spawn in at any point now in this batch of the next four because it was it's hard to keep track of when you're catching which kind of batch you are catching or which ones you're knocking like which one at the time you're catching because if you just kind of launch and jet balls at them you can kind of determine where about it is but you can't guarantee exactly where it is so there we go okay here we are so as you can see we'll just catch this one what was that six or yeah so this is the sixth spawning so it's definitely in that second batch and there is four more left we can just pick these off these ones just to show you that there'll be the same amount of Pokemon overall and then hopefully that proves to you battling them one by one or catching them one by one doesn't make any difference to the outcome of an outbreak so you can do it both ways right so we should we're obviously gonna have less Pokemon this time so we had 10 last time we've got one two three four five here got our fifth one being up here so we battle five this is spawned in on our sixth one it's spawned in when we were catching them on our seventh one but as they say because we've captured so many at the same time there were many spawning in so we don't know whether it was the sixth or the seventh but it's there there's no difference between catching the Pokemon or battling them one by one now what we're going to do is we know that that shinks is spawned in on this save in this mass outbreak right here so we're going to approach it one more time but this time we're going to approach it by doing multiple battles all at once and see what this does to the mass outbreak and how you do not want to approach a mass outbreak by doing multiple battles all at once because it will change the outcome of an outbreak it will dictate different Pokemon or respawned from the ones that are respawned when you just catch a Pokemon or battle it one at a time so back in game once again we'll travel up to the mountain camp and we'll make our way this time and we're just going to be head on go for these shinks not worry about any items make sure that our Pokemon's at the start of our party enter the outbreak and you can see aggro Pokemon going to come for us they're not going to be spawned they're all going to be aware of us and we'll see if we can battle as many of these as we can see how many pop up we got all four so that's perfect this is like the worst you don't want to battle four at a time it is not the way to approach the outbreak so technically when we battle all these four are going on the logic of if if it doesn't matter how you approach a mass outbreak by battling or catching or whatever then the logic should be the next four Pokemon that's spawning one of those should be a shiny right one of them should be a shiny we've taken two down got two more to go so i'm just going to try and park myself in this bit of grass here we're not too far away from the battle we've got one more to go and the four that's spawning next one of them should be a shiny on the logic that we know that there is a shiny on the sixth or seventh spawning right so one two three oh no shiny no shiny at all which is quite interesting so what we'll do is we'll just try and pick these ones off six that we've caught and that would take us to at ten but we'll go back to the camp now and this proves this proves the point that if you do multi battles you get a different selection of Pokemon so yeah you can see there's the six we battled four we got the same amount of Pokemon in all three different situations but the only difference was in this last one the only one where the shiny didn't pop up is because we did a multi battle which then affects how the seed plays with regenerating the Pokemon don't need to go into too many details about it but that will affect how your shiny is pretty much missed out from doing a multi battle because you're generating four Pokemon under a different seed to what you would have been doing if you were doing it one at a time either catching or battling so this is the point so we'll reset the game again and i'll prove that we haven't lost this shiny and there's no way we've lost this shiny we'll go back to it we'll catch the Pokemon and this is the point i think on our streams we've not been super strict when we've been doing shiny hunting but we've been in the mind where i didn't want to get into battles with any Pokemon ever predominantly because their battles take longer catching Pokemon is a lot easier stealth mode feels a bit more appealing than heading straight on and battling Pokemon and despawn them or whatever so i'd prefer to catch them we've had a really good success on our shiny hunting streams um so in regards to that i would always say just catch the Pokemon it is the simplest method doing this you aren't going to miss a Pokemon either now doing mass multi battling with the Pokemon can obviously affect how your shiny is going to be spawned so knowing this is such good information because there has been occasions where i've been hunting rufflet and we went 64 chained deep in our outbreak just to get the rufflet and that was because we were doing multi battles with them because they're aggressive Pokemon we were doing one-on-one battles with them which then affected after the multi battles and things like that so we did a bunch of different things it was always going to be affecting how the shinies were found and if we'd known that all you need to do is just catch the Pokemon and make sure you catch all of them or make sure you just battle them all one at a time or despawn them one at a time then it's not going to affect how we should get the shiny pop up now should pop up there we are there we go you see we knew it was going to pop up in that second that second lot after the initial four and there we go so we didn't catch it for a second i was like we've got a second shiny what's going on though but this is basically proving that if you just stick to the same method every time you come to a spawn just catch it or defeat them one at a time you're gonna not miss shinies if you start going into multi battles it is going to mean you're going to miss shinies now if a pokemon despawns if it's a skittish pokemon like a heppiny for instance like run away or you can't catch them or one of the starters for instance don't worry despawning a pokemon despawning running away is pretty much exactly like you catching it or battling it it will count in exactly the same way the only thing that's going to deviate your results and give you variations is when you battle and defeat multiple pokemon at once so it's a good idea just to stay clear of doing that but don't be under the illusion the catching is better than battling or battling is better than catching they all do the same thing as long as you're doing it in the same sort of fashion one at a time so then your respawns are spawning in one at a time so if we come to a pokemon professor you can see here i've got a first cohort of four and we may have caught you know the the next cohort of four before getting this shiny but the idea is that the shiny is still spawned we did a sneeze all hunt earlier on in the alabaster ice lands where we came to this area we caught the pokemon and a shiny popped up reset the game came back battled them one by one the shiny still popped up came back again after resetting the game and then we multi-battled we only did two pokemon multi-battled two of them at one time and then caught the rest and no shiny popped up in that specific one we set the game again came back caught the pokemon from the start and the shiny respawned in the spot where it was meant to originally but by doing the multi-battle we skipped over that spawn and generated other spawns randomly from deeper into the kind of seed of this mass outbreak and missed the shiny so by doing that and not understanding how to approach a mass outbreak you could be missing shinies along the way and that's not something you want to do we did it with a chimchaw outbreak as well and what you can do as well to get multiple shinies from an outbreak is as soon as you catch a shiny from an outbreak leave that outbreak and then head back to camp check how many pokemon you've caught and then save your game at camp and then go back to jubilee village and then come back again to that area if the the mass outbreak is there which it should be if it's not just reset your game and then come back to jubilee check them up the same outbreak should be there you can come back to the same outbreak and then repeat the process again there may be fewer pokemon appearing in the initial few outbreaks but as you get deeper into resetting into those chain outbreaks you're going to get more pokemon again the chimchaw outbreak i did it started with the we've got the shiny on pretty much the the the fifth last pokemon so there's four pokemon remaining in the outbreak come back catch the four pokemon and the outbreak would end did that over and over again until the point of that outbreak actually spawning multiple chimchaws once again and then after about 40 minutes of resetting another shiny did spawn in that area did the same with the sneeze all outbreak as well didn't take as long but you can get multiple pokemon from the same outbreak by just chaining the same outbreak over and over again just make sure that you follow the steps of coming from jubilee village to the area where the mass outbreak is drop a save in the camp head to the mass outbreak catch all the pokemon if there's no shiny there reset your game go back to jubilee life come back into the area hopefully it's the same outbreak if it's not just reset your game and then come back to jubilee life again go back into the map head back to the area where the mass outbreak is drop your save hit the camp head back out to the outbreak and then rinse and repeat catch the pokemon and you're going to guarantee yourself for shiny by doing it this way don't deviate away from the process you remember you can catch or defeat pokemon but when you're defeating them you have to do it one at a time you can't go into multi battles that's the rule of thumb but the best advice is just to stick to catching pokemon it's a lot easier it's a lot more streamlined if you make a mistake and the shiny appears and then you you lose it for some reason you need to reset and come back you know the exact steps that you've taken to that point where the shiny spawned so you can get it again so good luck shiny hunting friends hope the guide has been useful today the update
