Encounter Power Affects Mass Outbreaks Appearing in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

So, bit of a tip for anyone hoping to get a shiny Eevee, don’t reset at the city shown here, reset at the bug gym town. It can also appear there. It still can spawn the outbreak in a bad spot, BUT, it can also spawn north of the olive roll field or in the plots of farmland next to the west Pokémon center, which when they are there, actually are normal outbreaks with large amounts of spawns. I guess they REALLY wanted to make Eevee hunting hard since both of these spots have chances of attempting to spawn them partially or entirely inside towns

I like how much sandwiches are becoming more well known to be helpful. I've recently started a habit of making Raid power sandwiches while farming Herba Mystica and XP Candies, and its really made a huge difference. Those 2 extra rolls have given me 4 HMs from a single den, and that was insane. It only has happened like twice? But that's still an hour of shiny hunting from ONE tera raid.

Once again, the sheer joy you feel every time you find an unexpected shiny makes me so incredibly happy as well. It's so infectious and you deserve it for all the ridiculous hard work you do :)

I just wanted to point out that you don't even have to move the day forward to reset the outbreaks. All you have to do is set the timer to 12:00 PM and they'll automatically reshuffle. If you don't like the ones you get, you can immediately go back into settings and if the clock is still at 12:00 PM, all you have to do is click "ok" without even changing any numbers and the outbreaks will reshuffle again. Otherwise, all you have to do is roll the clock back to 12:00 once more. It saves just a bit of time not having to change the day.

This could not come at a better time! It's my brother's birthday soon and I'm trying to get him a shiny eevee for his playthrough. Thank you for all your hard work! Edit: his birthday was today, managed to get him the shiny and he was very happy! Her name is Petra and she's now on his playthrough team♡

Poor Austin! I'm so sorry recording and spreadsheets haven't been going your way this past few videos. Pressed like, and hoping things get less exhausting. Thanks for all the work you do!

So many hidden systems, It’s actually great. Love these games.

I appreciated the Eevee hunting section. It's one thing to hear about what happened, but way better to see and experience it with you.

16:41 it was actually a Zorua according to the pop-up, makes sense as Pineco only spawn in trees

Austin, i found your channel only when scarlet and violet came out, and i’ve binge watched all of these vids. multiple times. you are a saint for this community. i/we appreciate you so much more than you know. because of this vid alone, i got a half dozen shiny eevees outside of medali in a day. so thank you!!

17:27 Finally somebody who calls Eevee a fox. You have NO idea how long I've been waiting for someone to call Eevee a fox.

I’m sorry this hunt was so painful. For what it’s worth, your videos are great and I absolutely love your humor during them. Keep doing what you’re doing!

The eevee bug happened to me as well with Lokix right by Alfornada. It was a Lokix outbreak on a mountain bordering the town, zero spawns morning day or night.

Your commitment and patience does not go unnoticed .. thank you for all you do !! I would’ve called it hours ago and called it a day😂

You are literally killing it on this game. Thanks so much for all the content and fun clips, it helps souch and is so much fun to watch!! Thank you!!!

I watched probably like 5 videos on sandwich mass outbreaks and you're the first person to actually crunch the numbers and provide proof that it makes a difference. Everyone else was just going off feelings. Thanks for properly confirming this!

I have definitely seen the effects of this. I made an encounter boost 2 for dragon trying to find applin. To which I promptly fell asleep because I’m sick, but when I woke up there was an applin outbreak right on top of where I was.

I love your dedication to researching shiny hunting. You’ve helped me end successful in every shiny hunt I’ve started in this game using all of your guides. Just caught myself a chrome Iron Valiant last night and was thrilled. This video just reassures me that jumping back into the Go app last year for the shiny Eevee event was the right call. Once Home is active for SV, I’ll just transfer the 14 I caught in Go from Home lol

“Didn’t realising I was muted” that made me laugh much more than it should have love your videos, thanks for all your time and effort my guy, you’re doing Arceus’s work

A trooper and a hero. Hopefully I can finally find a Cetoddle or Charcadet outbreak now. Thanks for all you do, man!
