When Does Tinkatink Massive Outbreak Event Start/End In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
The Tinkatink Massive Outbreak event will run from Thursday, November 28, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. PST to Thursday, December 5, 2024, at 3:59 p.m. PST. There’s an enhanced chance to find this Pokemon with the Ferocious Mark, which will give Tinkatink and its evolutions the title “the Rampaging” each time they enter the battlefield. The chances for a Tinkatink with a Ferocious Mark to appear are 1 in 20 (5% chance) but this lasts only during the Mass Outbreak event, so go get yours before it ends.
And, of course, there are also more chances for players to find a Shiny Tinkatink to add to their collection, but for that, they will need to eat some Shiny Sandwiches and pay a lot of attention, since shiny Tinkatink and the regular ones are quite similar.
Differences between Normal and Shiny Tinkatink: while the normal version is fuchsia and its hammer purple, the shiny version has a slightly lighter pinkish tone, and the hammer as well as the jewel in its body are brown.
Where To Find Tinkatink Massive Outbreaks In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Tinkatink Massive Outbreaks are appearing all across Paldea, so every player that has the base version of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet can enjoy the hunt. Just pay attention to the map and check when the Icon of Tinkatink pops up on the map, then quickly go to the marked area to begin the hunt.
Remember to carry lots of Poke Balls, especially Quick Balls and Nest Balls, as these will have more chances to catch Tinkatink at the first turn of battle. Players should also bring a Pokemon with False Swipe to leave Tinkatink at 1 HP and facilitate its capture.
Best Shiny Sandwich & Charms To Boost Tinkatink Farm In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
To enhance your chances of getting a super ultra rare Shiny Tinkatink with the Ferocious Mark, players should use the following consumables and charms:
- Shiny Charm – Obtained after completing 400 entries in the Pokedex.
- Mark Charm – Obtained after completing 240 entries in the Blueberry Pokedex.
- Fairy Tomato Sparkling Sandwich – Crafted with Basil x1 Tomato x1, Sweet Herba Mystica x1, Spicy Herba Mystica x1
- Steel Hamburger Sparkling Sandwich – Crafted with Basil x1 Hamburger x1, Sweet Herba Mystica x1, Spicy Herba Mystica x1
Since Tinkatink is both Fairy and Steel, using these Sandwiches will boost Fairy and Steel shiny Encounters, and also Title Encounters, which means even more chances to get one with the Ferocious Mark.
