In a massive mass outbreak, many mass outbreaks (11 to 15) occur in an area. Massive mass outbreaks draw on their own set of mass outbreaks that has some overlap with species seen in normal mass outbreaks, but also many unique species. Initially, each outbreak location is only visible as a question mark; they can be revealed by visiting each location or by giving 5 [[Aguav Berry|Aguav Berries]] to [[Mai]]'s {{p|Munchlax}} (near the area's exit). When revealed, some locations may be highlighted by a yellow circle, with either a Berry or a star marking it. A star indicates that that location has extra waves to its outbreak. A Berry indicates that each time a Pokémon from that outbreak is defeated or caught, the player will receive one Aguav Berry. There may be zero or multiple locations with a Berry or a star (but never with both). Each outbreak location has a 10% chance to be a Berry location, but only if it is not a starred location.

If a location in a massive mass outbreak has a star, then it will spawn Pokémon in waves. After clearing all Pokémon in the first wave, a second wave will spawn with Pokémon that are either evolved versions of the original wave (with a small chance for any to be an [[alpha Pokémon]]) or one of the species from the first wave but always as alpha Pokémon. When the location is on its last wave, the star will disappear from the map.

All Pokémon found in massive mass outbreaks will be at least level 60, unless the Pokémon's species is one that evolves starting at some specific level, in which case non-alphas of that species will be found 1-3 levels under the level required for evolution.


Massive mass outbreaks last for a limited time after the player arrives at the containing area. They may start with 7, 9, or 11 minutes of time. As the time wanes, the game will display a warning at certain intervals.
