Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Mass Outbreak Event to Feature Electric Rodents July 2025

The Pokémon Company has officially revealed the next Mass Outbreak event for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, bringing a spotlight to the franchise's beloved Electric-type rodent Pokémon.

Scheduled to run from July 4th through July 6th, 2025, this limited-time event will take place exclusively on the Nintendo Switch platform, allowing trainers around the world to participate across various in-game locations. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, have continued to evolve since their global release in November 2022.

The Mass Outbreak feature remains one of the most popular in-game mechanics, giving players increased opportunities to encounter and catch specific Pokémon species.

In this upcoming event, the focus will be on several fan-favorite Electric rodents: Pawmi and Dedenne in the Paldea region, Morpeko and Pachirisu in the Kitakami area, and Plusle and Minun at Blueberry Academy. According to the official event announcement, trainers exploring these distinct regions during the event dates will notice significantly increased appearances of the featured Electric-type Pokémon.

Additionally, Pokémon caught during these Mass Outbreaks will have a greater probability of being shiny, making this an exceptional opportunity for completionists and shiny hunters alike. A spokesperson from The Pokémon Company noted, "This Mass Outbreak event is designed to celebrate the diverse world of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and connect players through special, time-limited activities.

The selection of Electric-type rodents highlights both classic and modern creatures that fans have cherished across generations." Since its launch, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has amassed impressive sales milestones, surpassing 20 million units sold on the Nintendo Switch eShop and at retail as of early 2024.

The continued deployment of themed Mass Outbreak events helps maintain strong engagement within the game’s active community while supporting the franchise’s long-standing reputation for innovation in gameplay experiences. Players eager to participate should ensure their games are updated to the latest version and plan to log in between July 4th and July 6th, 2025.

For further details and updates, trainers are encouraged to monitor official Pokémon channels and Nintendo Direct announcements.

The event reinforces the enduring collaboration between Game Freak, The Pokémon Company, and Nintendo, continuously delivering memorable experiences on the Nintendo Switch platform.
