what's going on everyone austin john plays here and today i'm going to be going over some
early tips for massive mass outbreaks in pokemon legends
rcs the pokemon legends rcs update that went live today pokemon day february 27th
introduces a brand new mechanic called massive massive mass outbreaks and there's a part of the
story that kind of brings you through every region and you kind of get a little bit of a sense of
what's going on here i've been messing around with it for a few hours now while we don't know any
numbers specifically we do know a few things in regard to how the regular mass outbreaks work it's
been observed that they tend to despawn instantly now so the previous shiny hunting methods that
we've discussed in version 1.0 through version 1.0.2 seem to no longer function at all or as
well as intended as they did before example of that if i go over here to the swine up outbreak
and if i go ahead put down a save and then i leave this area when looking back at the map
i've never had the same pokemon show up again so it would seem like the method that we did where
you save it camp and come back it seems like it no longer works we are doing some more research
on that but for the time being my shiny hunting method on mass outbreaks on the previous versions
i've now denoted in the titles so you should know they no longer work anyways here in the obsidian
field lands i have a massive mass outbreak let's head over there you can choose either camp we're
currently running more testing on exactly how the timer for this works if it's related to how many
outbreaks you clear or anything else like that i am going to be releasing videos on more optimized
methods and additional information i may pin it at the comment down below you may see a card right
over my face right now for these massive outbreaks i don't even bring smoke bombs with me in fact the
only things i bring are regular pokeballs maybe i i to be honest i haven't even used a stealth spray
i've just been doing very aggressive tactics for this so i'm just gonna bring pokeballs ultra balls
jetballs sticky globs and a tier one stunning item for example the balls of mud or the snowballs or
the spoiled apricot and the exact order in which i keep these actually is very dependent on what
pokemon i'm going after actually this kind of works because i'll have the pokeball and the
spoiled apricorn and the jetball in a carousel and then i'll have the jetball the sticky glove
and the ultra ball and a carousel i think that's gonna work out really well in addition my next
piece of advice is clear out your top row of boxes all the pokemon you catch always go to box one
and that's gonna overflow if you do a couple of these back to back because you're catching a lot
of pokemon i'm just gonna bring a powerful team with me including my arceus over here
so the pokemon that you're gonna be finding in these massive mass outbreaks there's a lot of
them you're gonna be finding evolve forms that you previously have never seen in the wild including
things like ursuluna arcanine you're also going to be finding alpha pokemon easier and the agav
berries here as you learned in the tutorial if you keep five of golf berries on you and you speak to
the munchlax over here he's going to be able to reveal all of the massive outbreak pokemon on the
map my advice is before you even do the agav berry in the settings turn off your autosaves
put down a hard save and now we're going to go ahead and speak to mai give over the five of golf
berries if there's absolutely nothing you want on this map feel free to turn your game off and turn
it back on again what's this one at the top right oh that's a paris don't really care about that
you are gonna be seeing pokemon you've never seen in this area before like chad is now no longer
exclusive to just the coastlands chimchar is no longer exclusive to just deer track heights in
romanus park we have zarora showing up over here and in addition you are going to be able to find
both the pla starters and the sinnoh starters throughout most of the regions when the map is
revealed to you we may be seeing some icons by the pokemons faces and i have literally no icons
well that's a bad example okay let's let's go find another massive outbreak by the way to get another
one you just go back to town just go back to town look at the map again and then if there's nothing
you want go back to camp go back to town the same way you used to shuffle it to get a regular
outbreak to spawn you do the exact same thing for massive outbreaks wow i got three of them okay
well now knowing that you can get the starters in all of them i actually really like the coronet
highlands because you start so high up and also the meyerlands because you start so high up you
can use braviary to make some nice quick streams down so let's go here and we'll start at the
summit camp as i mentioned she's going to be at all the different camps i have five of golf
berries in my inventory with auto saves off i'm going to put down a hard save right in front of
her and if there's nothing i don't want i'm just going to turn the game off turn it back on to get
those five berries back although i don't think the berries are going to be in very rare supply
great we have some icons here on the map if we take a look at this yanmo over here you're
gonna see that it has this little star icon this star icon through early findings signifies that
after you clear out the first group there's going to be a chance that there's going to be
a second group and the second group is going to have either all alpha pokemon
or all evolved pokemon or a combination of the two so in theory after going to this yama outbreak i
may experience a full outbreak of alpha janmegaz and that could be a little that could be a little
spicy not gonna lie so from here my strategy is actually a little weird and i'm gonna turn
the game off i'm gonna turn it back on so that they're not revealed on the map for me
i'm gonna start seeing all them one by one and because it has this question mark icon that means
i don't know what it is and what i want to do is i just want to look at the first four pokemon
that's it i just want to go i want to observe what the first four are observe what the first
four are and look at all them because there's a chance that one of the first four pokemon
can be a shiny as i have already experienced with my first ride-on outbreak here in the highlands
there it is so i say the fastest and easiest thing to do if you just want a shiny is just look at all
them granted having pokedex level 10 is going to make the higher increased chance of a shiny
pokemon and the shiny charm of course is going to increase your chance of shining pokemon as well
if there was an alpha pokemon or regular pokemon nope where one of these are it seems like it's
not going to be there like normally there's an electrifier hanging out over here and he
ain't here from here i'm just gonna mark the next one on a path by my little flag marker head over
to it bunch of luxios nothing from here i'm just gonna head on down and i'm gonna sort of make like
a nice downhill path seeing all the outbreaks from what i've seen so far you can fast travel
and that doesn't run out more of the timer so fast traveling is your friend for this we've got some
mime junior showing up no shinies if you're flying too far above them you actually won't
uncover what the icon is it's up to you if you do want to uncover what they are oh we got an alpha
ellicott do i need that no i caught one last night okay again just continuing on with the path seeing
what they are uncovering them one by one nice way to mark off what you have and have it seen already
bunch of gasolines nothing spicy feel free to just fast travel whenever you want as that's going to
make it so you can go between them a little bit faster you are going to have a limited time for
my early testing i don't think you're able to do every single outbreak no matter how fast you are
this seems like the best way at least you know in the early days of this for you to actually see
all the pokemon and you know get that low hanging fruit oh that's an alpha garchomp just hanging out
there you'll also see that it says the rainstorm has no signs of stopping soon that tells you
that it's going to be continuing on nope nothing spicy here a bunch of good bites bunch of glygars
a bunch of bronzers a bunch of shinxes not only are you looking at all the different outbreaks
you're also seeing if there's going to be any of the you know random shinies in the overworld which
you know always best always the best shinies are the ones that you're not expecting while
you're just flying around usually the birds bugs and rocks bunch of gravelers
last thing i need is another shiny graveler and i only have two left these two right over here
right where ryperior likes to hang out and we have some hippopotas right where the bronzong oh look
shiny ghastly so now we know that this ghastly outbreak is going to have a shiny it's going to
be set in stone because we saved right before we started exploring all these i'm going to turn the
game off and turn it back on that was the only visible shiny out of all of them you may have
three or four of them show up do one lap make a mental note if you see any overworld shinies and
now we could do a more optimized route just going to the ones that do have a shining i'm going to
now just go after the ghastly immediately and then i'm going to be heading out after the pokemon that
have the little shiny star listen i'll be honest i want to see a full alpha gengar outbreak i think
that's gonna be pretty amazing so objective number one let's go get our shiny gastly we already
know where it is it's early hours at time of recording we don't know if there's really a way to
manipulate well what pokemon are gonna be spawning out using the ko vs catch methods that have been
discussed via the rng people so for now just go through just catch them all i've uh i've gotten
into some spicy situations with this i'm not gonna lie so you may want to pick up a charm now
also i could probably just use the regular and yeah just regular pokeball be fine for you
just single apricorn that's all it needs to stun the level ones the haunters may require several
apricorns i'm starting to think that the more outbreaks you clear the longer the storm goes on
it's just like my early feel and also there have been people saying that even without the little
star icon it is possible to get the outbreak to continue so looks like we're just going to need
more testing for that now i have the shiny gastly i'm actually not going to be saving there's this
yamaha i could get there's that other ghastly outbreak there might be something even better
along the way if i turn the game off and i turn it back on i'm guaranteed that ghastly the rainstorm
shows no signs of stopping anytime soon beautiful sir i would like to obtain you i want to see your
next your next outbreak you know what i'm doing this a very poor way i could just go on top of
the hill and i could just jet ball snipe them i think i'm gonna do that yeah this is much better
okay and now we're gonna see the text a new horde seems to have formed
and now we have janmega showing up the rainstorm may go on a little bit longer okay let me that
lets me know that you know we gotta we gotta hurry it up because it might be ending soon
okay reported pokemon are gone we got nothing good from that let's go over to that ghastly
one because the rainstorm is gonna be ending soon this whole time you're being timed you're
going against the clock that's the reason i chose to not save after that original gastly
because i might find another one here or you know i might want to see what's at the end
of this sparkle let's just go ahead for these guys can we keep our distance nice and easily
oh look we got another shiny gas leak beautiful
seems like it's about to clear up okay clock is ticking and now we're going to
see the second round yep a new horde seems to have formed and we have haunter showing up
game
oh my game crashed
okay i know the outbreaks i want to do i want to go view that one shiny ghastly and then
i'm going to go to the other ghastly outbreak and after i catch a few i know there's going
to be one there and then honestly there's nothing really too beneficial that i saw
if there's another pokemon i want to go after go for it but i know my priorities now because it's
only the two i'm going after i didn't even give them the ago berries i just make a mental note of
you know where the alpha pokemon was or which one was replaced i could just come over here i'm gonna
catch this one shiny gastly he's gonna be the slightly bluer one back there one ball one catch
great let's go on to the next ghastly outbreak which is this one over here
doing this i'm now saving a bunch of money on all those jet balls that i had
conserving that money again or you know the real evil villain of the game the final boss
the guy who expands your storage and after the first four we found that shiny right
yep there he is jetball and are we good we should be good got him if you have a reason
for continuing this mass outbreak go for it me personally i don't i'm very happy with getting
two shiny ghastlies with very minimal effort i'm gonna go ahead and put those in my box of pokemon
that i need to sort out that are alpha or shiny i have gotten a stupid amount of shiny so far today
i got a ponyta i got a munchlock still during the tutorial you know the first five missions
that you have to go through i got that ride on so even though i wasted all those jetballs seeing
what the janma we're gonna do and everything else there you go look at that those eight pokemon i'm
gonna make four thousand dollars back that doesn't even cover the amount of jet balls that i used but
i got two shinies from it gotta pay you gotta pay i'm gonna go ahead and apply the exact same
strategy to here at the crimson meyerlands but the crimson marlins also has unknown and spirit tomb
and to see those out in the wild that's pretty crazy plus i'm pretty sure the entire syndical
line is here we got a spirit team outbreak that's dope i also need an alpha crow gunk so that's
convenient is it both foggy and heavy rain in my game at the same time is the thunderstorm
just a cosmetic thing related to the massive mass outbreak going on i guess i would need to enter
a battle and then you know hit the plus button to see what's going on with the current weather
conditions all right so i've looked at all of them except for the spirit team one here i mean
i'm now looking at the spirit tomb one here and there's nothing i really want to like really catch
all right well after clearing out the spirit tomb and the only other thing that i wanted from here
i did not get any desired results although i'm noticing that this toxic croak still has a star
so maybe there's another level to that one let's go test that out oh no yep timer's over
well you know what that's fine i'll leave that to to a little bit more testing to see you know
if it goes additional rounds or whatever else goes on like that and honestly out of everything that
i did on this run i don't want any of it turn the game off turn it back on this is a brand
new aspect to how this game works with these massive mass outbreaks and there's a little
bit more testing to do in figuring out you know how to do it the best way so guys if you found
