Summary
The creators ofPokemon Scarlet and Violethave announced that a new holiday event is live, spawning a massive outbreak of Delibird in the game. Last year,Delibird was featured in a Tera Raid Eventduring Christmas, and this year repeats the tradition of featuring the Ice/Flying-Type creature during the holiday.
Delibird originally appeared in thesecond generation ofPokemongames. Ever since its debut, it stood out as one of the most Christmas-inspired creatures of the franchise. While the lore does not state that its bag actually carries gifts for kids who behave well, it’s clear that its looks are inspired by Santa Claus, and Delibird was even featured in a special Christmas episode of the TV show.
Now,Pokemon Scarlet and Violethave officially started the Delibird Mass Outbreak Event, which is a special time-limited Christmas event. Starting back on December 21, the event will continue until December 24 at 3:59 PM PST. During this time, massive numbers of Delibirds will appear in Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Academy, and players will be able to capture as many as they want. Also, the chances of a shiny Delibird appearing will be higher than usual, so this will be a good occasion to try to catch one. To participate in these events, players need to havePokemon Scarlet and Violetupdated and have the latest version of the Poke Portal News installed, which can be done via the game’s menu.
When Does the Delibird Mass Outbreak Event Start?
Normally, Delibird can be found inPokemon Scarlet and Violetby visiting the regions around Glaseado Mountain and the North Province. The Pokemon also comes with an exclusive future Paradox version inPokemon Violetcalled Iron Bundle, but not inPokemon Scarlet, which only features past Paradox creatures. Tocapture the Paradox Delibird inPokemon Violet, players need to go to the Zero Gate to enter Area Zero inside the Great Crater of Paldea, and then to Research Station No.1, where they can find this creature in the grass.
