How long do I have to wait for another Massive Mass Outbreak?

How long do I have to wait for another Massive Mass Outbreak? - Blonde Woman Lying on Massive Forest Tree Roots and Gesturing

Request 96, "Massive Mass Outbreak in the Fieldlands", requires you to clear three of the individual outbreaks within a Massive Mass Outbreak. I was severely waylaid clearing the first one, and the Massive Mass Outbreak disappeared while I was still clearing the second one, leaving me unable to complete the request.

Talking to Mai, the questgiver, has her suggest going back to Jubilife and waiting for another one to spawn. This I've done, but I've gone out on three excursions now, spanning a few in-game days, and another Massive Mass Outbreak still hasn't spawned. I know that Massive Mass Outbreaks don't start spawning regularly until I've completed the entire "Daybreak" questline, and I'm now starting to get concerned that I may have locked myself out of the questline entirely.

How much longer do I have to wait before I get another shot at clearing Request 96? Is there something specific I can do to get the Massive Mass Outbreak to respawn? Or am I at the mercy of RNG?

How do you wait for another massive mass outbreak?

1 Answer
  • When you get back to Jubilife Village, if the rainstorm is gone, you'll see no Massive Mass Outbreak; a regular Mass Outbreak doesn't count.
  • The next time there is a rainstorm or blizzard, there will be another Massive Mass Outbreak. ...
  • Complete the outbreak collection and you'll be good to go on the quest.


  • Do massive mass outbreaks Respawn?

    Massive Mass Outbreaks are an iteration on the usual Mass Outbreaks. Instead of just one specific Pokemon amassing, multiple hordes on a map will appear all at once. However, these outbreaks only last for a limited time as long as the rainstorm (or blizzard, in the Alabaster Icelands), persists.

    Do massive mass outbreaks continue after the quest?

    You can feed Munchlax 5 Aguav Berries to reveal what's at each outbreak, otherwise they'll remain a question mark on your map until you go to the area. The Massive Mass Outbreaks will only be around for as long as it's storming, and once the storm ends the outbreak will end.
