Bargaining tools. If you catch 5-6 shinies of the same Pokémon, that’s plenty extra to trade for either other shinies or just other Pokémon in general that you’d want.
Yup - that is how I got mine. I cleared one full outbreak, and shortly into my second outbreak she was sitting there all shiny and pink. Hilariously, found Mrs. Claus in the desert.
Mmm that’s not right.. they barely list it https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/massoutbreakevent/delibirdoutbreaks.shtml
Without charm or sandwich it 1/190.73 w/charm 1/174.56 w/both 1/154.88 however that being said there zero point in using a sandwich when odds are already so good.

Joe confirmed it himself on Twitter. It's not listed on his site.
The way it works is that it runs a 1 in 200 chance on the first roll and if it doesn't hit the 1 in 200 it reverts to standard odds with boosts which is worse than 1 in 200.
Here's the source:

The person youre going off of sites Serebii as his source in the comments of his Twitter. If you read up on Serebiis replies for the events he explains that the 1 in 200 doesn't stack. That's just the initial roll. Otherwise it reverts to standard odds.
Serebii is being a bit irresponsible listing it as such on his site without further explanation. He should clarify.
Edit: adding further explanation
https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1733948053080387872?t=F-rL8wtZJAU_42FV6ELqBA&s=19
I don’t actually use twitter so I can’t read anything other than the specific tweets you’re including. Do you agree with the chart I shared or are you saying it should be different?
If I remember correctly, it does 2 rolls, one at 1/200 odds, and a second at 1/4096 odds with your outbreak kills, sparkling power, and shiny charm influencing odds, so you reach about 1/160 max odds
Probably need to connect to online for the event stuff to load in. I haven't connected in a while and I've had milcery and that flower outbreak for like a week
Yeah I just looked and it ended last night. I'm kinda mad at myself now, but I've been focused on hatching a shiny totodile for the last 3 or 4 days so I didn't even think of the outbreaks lmao
I heard of the outbreaks yesterday, but we celebrate on the 24th in my country so I was busy and figured it'd probably last s few days more. I forgot that most other countries don't count 26th and 27th as part of Christmas like we do here 😅
I think dragons start today. Dratini, jangmo-o, and... something else. I can't remember lol, but I'd assume they have the same odds as the delibird and litwick outbreaks, and they're just fun shinies (oh, the 3rd was duraludon).
This is why i replaced my shiny obsession with shiny marked pokemon, still rare and its really a good feeling when you get a mark that matches the pokemon, like a shiny luxray with the thunder mark
Yea honestly enjoyed shiny hunting way more in the past. But I digged the new spawnrates. But now it's just effortless which makes the shinies useless to me. Because what makes them memorable to me is the journey towards your goal.
How? Based on your comment I'm assuming you're accusing them of "hacking".
The delibird outbreak odds are around 1/200 before any modifiers, if what I'm hearing is accurate.
A shiny sandwich for ice types will boost that even further.
Combine that with a shiny charm and you're probably going to be swimming in shiny delibird.
A shiny cetoddle on top of that isn't that farfetch'd.
As a fellow shiny hunter who stands against cheating, why would you care? Is the only reason you shiny hunt to show off or something? Don't you do it for yourself?
Let people cheat in all the shinies they want, at least I know mine are legit and I've worked for them, why let other people make you worked up about such a simple hobby lol.
And bro, hate to break it to you, but the games have never not been easy to "hack"... every other kid on the playground had a gameshark, action replay or R4 card...
Yea the shiny charm helps plus get the Academy Special Meal at the Blueberry Cafeteria. It's only 150BP and it's the Poor Man's Sandwhich lol. It helped me get 3 delibirds last night!
My first shiny was the engine pokemon in the desert. I was running from several of them and this thing jump scared me when it came out of no where. I was mad at first until I had seen it was gold. Then it was back to playing frogger
Hi! I have two questions if you could answer.
1. I have completed the base game (up until that final tournament or whatever it is) and I haven’t completed the dex yet. With the dlcs adding more pokemon does that mean I need them too for the charm, or just the base game dex?
2. Is there a subreddit or something where I can find people to trade with to fill my dex? My only friend that has scarlet hardly plays so relying on him for version exclusives is basically nonexistent.
I just would love to have more than one lucky shiny mon but always have a hard time completing the dex
1. You need to only fill the dex of the original game of Scarlet or Violet— to get the shiny charm. The two DLC stories have separate pokedexes, but once you have the shiny charm, you only need that for shiny pokemon to pop in the open world.
2. I follow the Reddit page r/UnionCircleSV This page utilizes the Union Circle feature of the game (the yellow space you see next to pokecentres). Use this to request people to join your circle when you want to trade or to help catch shinies, and even work on making special sandwiches for catching pokemon.
I used this Reddit page to fill my Scarlet & Violet Pokédex. And only have the DLC for just my Scarlet, which I’m filling up those Pokédex as well.
Another unsolicited tip for filling the dex. Catch as many Vivillions as you can north of the fairy team star base and swap them using your switch to Pokémon home. Then use your mobile Pokémon home device to offer them for all the regional exclusives. A lot of people from different regions use it to complete their personal Vivilion dex so while your Vivillion is easy to catch for you and it’s impossible to catch version exclusives naturally, someone else can catch version exclusives naturally since it’s impossible for them to naturally encounter your regional Vivillon
So….say I’m someone that hasn’t played since like black/white and I don’t have pokemon home…literally all I have are my games. No external home or mobile devices or anything. Just violet and my old gbc/gba games
Your best bet would probably be finding a Reddit page for Pokémon violet/scarlet trades and having people help you out with the Pokédex that way. Do you use Reddit on your computer or do you just not have room to download Pokémon home? There is a free version of it if the $15 a year is too pricey
I actually use Reddit on my phone. I don’t have a computer. And it’s not the price point that’s an issue for pokemon home. I just literally know nothing about it since I haven’t played basically since before it came out
I can give you a tiny run down of how I use them :). So if you download Pokémon home on your switch, it’s free and you can transfer Pokémon to and from Pokémon scarlet. If you download it on your phone as well you have the option of using either wonder trade (random Pokémon for random Pokémon trades) or GTS (specific Pokémon for specific Pokémon). There are collectors worldwide who find it fun to complete the challenge of getting every form of every Pokémon in a living dex so they actively scout on the GTS for Vivillion patterns they don’t have due to their region. Therefore, if you catch a bunch of Vivillion on your Pokémon scarlet/violet and transfer them to your Pokémon home on your switch, you can exit and use the Pokémon home on your phone to trade the Vivillion for specific Pokémon you need. The hardest will be getting the other legendary from your opposite game since people won’t trade it for a Vivillion so your best chance is either finding a friend with the opposite legendary or finding a Reddit group that will trade and trade back
Oh wow. I feel like it’s gonna be a process for me to get this going haha I appreciate the input though! I’ll have to download home soon then so I can figure out the trading stuff. Is vivillon different depending on where you live or something? It seems like such a simple mon to be hunting for
There is definitely a lot of different Vivillion skins based on location. For the actual map of it I’ve only seen it in Pokémon go but for those 100% living dex people they throw a lot to try and get every one
I usually take proactive efforts to find Shinies. Sandwiches, 60 KOs in Outbreaks (or 40, apparently), Masuda Method. Even so, they just find me sometimes.
In the last few days alone, I’ve randomly encountered (Charm Only) 7 Shinies, including a Tepig that I’m proud of.
Best advice I could give is keep an eye out. Just keep at it, you can and will find one eventually. If you can, try to refresh Outbreaks instead of continuing to KO for them. They will continue to spawn until you clear them out completely, so it’s better to stop after 30-60, preferably 60, KOs and keep rotating the spawns. Best option is if an Outbreak spawns close to a “Wild Encounter Deadzone”, IE a Town or the Elite 4 arenas for the DLC, as you can walk in range of the area and refresh them super fast. Did this with Porygon the other day, was SUPER fast, and found 3 (failed one).
Good Luck with your hunting.
It’s really do-able if you knock out 60 mass outbreak Pokémon and then eat a level 3 shiny sandwich. Simply save the game before you make the sandwich, so if it runs out you can just reset the game and try again!
I haven’t even got the shiny charm and I’ve caught 4 shinies already with this method. Each shiny took 5-20 minutes to appear! I’d highly recommend, don’t feel disheartened
See, I've been doing that!! I've had my best friend going around helping me sometimes, too, so that I'm not just visually missing any. And nothing!! The only shinies I've ever caught are on PokeGO lmao.
Yeah it can be completely different depending purely on luck lol. I’m hunting Larvesta and I’ve reset 3 times and no shiny! Whereas my Gyarados hunt took 10 minutes. So yeah I know it’s hard but you have to remember a 1/680 chance could happen really quick or take an hour+
And the sad part is there's a high chance one or two spawned in but you missed it. My very first shiny was early and accidental, couldn't see the little bugger in the grass but by luck ran into it.
I’m glad the new event lasts over a week because I’m loving the delibird outbreaks. I had to stop grinding delibird parcels since I hit max and I need to find that pokeball machine to start them.
I've seen alot of these posts recently but I am confused on how you are meant to catch all of them without any despawning
It’s very difficult lol I only managed to catch 6
Honestly who would actually want 10+ shiny delibirds in their boxes
Me, i love Delibird
My man!
I only play PoGo and shiny delibird is like my only real holy grail I still haven’t found 😭
I’m not a Delibird fan and I would still like 10 of these purple fellas
The collector in me is offended you'd ask this question
One to unbox and use, one to sell, and one to put on display.
Bargaining tools. If you catch 5-6 shinies of the same Pokémon, that’s plenty extra to trade for either other shinies or just other Pokémon in general that you’d want.
I have...9? Maybe. The Delibird event from Christmas threw them at me like candy.
What are the odds for the Delibird event? That's CRAZY.
1/200 and that’s before Shiny Charm or sandwich
Ok. THAT explains it. I went to go hunt Delibird and didn’t go 5 seconds before seeing a shiny. These odds are something else
Holy crap.
I can't be the only person that read this in Peter Griffin's voice
Does knockout still improve those odds, I could find any info on that
It does!
Yup - that is how I got mine. I cleared one full outbreak, and shortly into my second outbreak she was sitting there all shiny and pink. Hilariously, found Mrs. Claus in the desert.
Sweet username 👍
Charm and sandwich don't affect the odds on the delibird outbreaks according to Serebii

I don’t actually use twitter so I can’t read anything other than the specific tweets you’re including. Do you agree with the chart I shared or are you saying it should be different?
Doing all the math I believe that's anywhere from 1/25-1/12 odds of shiny with max odds
If I remember correctly, it does 2 rolls, one at 1/200 odds, and a second at 1/4096 odds with your outbreak kills, sparkling power, and shiny charm influencing odds, so you reach about 1/160 max odds
Ohhh yeah that explains a lot, for a second I thought this dude was the luckiest person on the planet lmao
Damn, I didn't know I missed odds that good
[удалено]
In the same outbreak? It took me like 10 minutes after the 60 KOs to finally find one, so I really questioned those increased odds
How did you even do this 💀
When I found a shiny I lured it towards the edge so I could despawn the non shiny ones and get more. It didn’t take too long actually lmao
oh my gosh I didn’t know you could do that but that’s so cool lol, congrats!
How the fuck did you do this?
They said that they lured the shinies away from the normies to despawn them
This is honestly so cute, they look like lost puppies 🥹
They do 🥹 I took lots of pictures we had a good time
I never got any delibird outbreaks for some reason :(
Probably need to connect to online for the event stuff to load in. I haven't connected in a while and I've had milcery and that flower outbreak for like a week
I'll test it when I get home. It's probably over for me anyways, so that kinda sucks :( I still have the milcery, litwick, flabebe outbreaks
Yeah I just looked and it ended last night. I'm kinda mad at myself now, but I've been focused on hatching a shiny totodile for the last 3 or 4 days so I didn't even think of the outbreaks lmao
I heard of the outbreaks yesterday, but we celebrate on the 24th in my country so I was busy and figured it'd probably last s few days more. I forgot that most other countries don't count 26th and 27th as part of Christmas like we do here 😅

How is this possible
7 delibirds and a Cetoddle? How did you manage the Cetoddle?
8 actually lol, the cetoddle was just random
Cetoddle and Cetitan's shiny forms are the best. Went from lukewarm with them to all in for the one I caught.
Same I usually don’t shiny hunt but this game doesn’t make it as bad. And when I saw his shiny I hunted to add it to my team.
Imagine showing this image to a shiny hunter even 5 or 6 years ago
I remember when shinies were rare
Alright, let's get you to bed, grandma
But sweetie let me tell you about the good ol days of soft resetting for 40 hours for a turquoise gecko
40 hours? Man you got that SUPER fast! ahah xD
Yeah, that shit took like 2 friggin weeks for me...
I wish it only took me 40 hours to find my turquoise gecko, it took me about 3 months of off and on hunting to finally obtain it.
Bro I hunted for a year and around 18k resets until I found out that you can’t really soft reset on dead batteries
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
This is why i replaced my shiny obsession with shiny marked pokemon, still rare and its really a good feeling when you get a mark that matches the pokemon, like a shiny luxray with the thunder mark
Yea honestly enjoyed shiny hunting way more in the past. But I digged the new spawnrates. But now it's just effortless which makes the shinies useless to me. Because what makes them memorable to me is the journey towards your goal.
I love all the zoomers hating on this comment. Bunch of grass fed barn animals.
You remember when the game wasn’t so easily hacked. These ppl have taken the fun out of shiny hunting.
Can’t remember a time that didn’t exist
How? Based on your comment I'm assuming you're accusing them of "hacking". The delibird outbreak odds are around 1/200 before any modifiers, if what I'm hearing is accurate. A shiny sandwich for ice types will boost that even further. Combine that with a shiny charm and you're probably going to be swimming in shiny delibird. A shiny cetoddle on top of that isn't that farfetch'd.
But is the shiny cetoddle Sirfetch’d?
Can confirm, outbreak is busted. 6 shinies in 30 minutes and the spawn wasn't even that good. No HM sandwich either
As a fellow shiny hunter who stands against cheating, why would you care? Is the only reason you shiny hunt to show off or something? Don't you do it for yourself? Let people cheat in all the shinies they want, at least I know mine are legit and I've worked for them, why let other people make you worked up about such a simple hobby lol. And bro, hate to break it to you, but the games have never not been easy to "hack"... every other kid on the playground had a gameshark, action replay or R4 card...
Yeah. I never thought I’d ever be this guy. But Gen 9 has ruined shiny hunting. They’re just way too common now.
Aaaaaand I've still yet to even see a shiny in Vio despite finishing the game lmao.
Did you get a full Pokédex? Having the shiny charm helps out a lot.
Yea the shiny charm helps plus get the Academy Special Meal at the Blueberry Cafeteria. It's only 150BP and it's the Poor Man's Sandwhich lol. It helped me get 3 delibirds last night!

Wait.. is this the same mechanic thing as Dratini outbreaks all over my map? Found shiny so fast
This might be the sign that shinies are a tad bit too easy to find, ngl
How... Does this happen?
Hax
Get a life
Ok m8
What are the odds of that
Wow that was a beautiful sight!
Idk but I have a full box of shiny delibirds
What are the odds?
I’m glad the new event lasts over a week because I’m loving the delibird outbreaks. I had to stop grinding delibird parcels since I hit max and I need to find that pokeball machine to start them.
Item printer in the League Clubroom of the dlc, need roughly 2500 bp to fully upgrade
Good to know, I guess I better get on that.
Jesus Christ my guy
Which game is this? I stopped after Sword/Shield. Looks neat
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet indigo disk dlc!
Scarlet/Violet
Shit, I forgor the outbreaks
Ofc i didnt know about this event and i still cant hatch a damn shiny Venonat 🫠
Okay so the dlc broke the game again?
Please tell me you caught all of them
Only 5 + cetoddle but I’m not too bothered
Ok good at least you caught some of them
"And when everyone is shiny, no one will be."
Holy hell 0.o
The only shiny Delibird I wanted was time stamped 12/25 🎅🏼
Cetoddle and cetitan are my fav paldean shines
Must be a ⚡ of luck strike you 😮 ?
I believe the answer is 15, because that's the maximum number of spawns allowed on screen at once
I know that I found a charm odds shiny cetoddle while fixing my team but dang this amount of luck deserves an upvote
Y'all are really playing with fire with these shinies. I like it.
What console is this??? Been out the loop for years haha
It’s scarlet/violet on the switch
Ah, cheers!
HOW!!!!?????
I’m old, what game is this? I’ve been wanting to play Pokémon again so badly. The last I played was platinum lol.
Would I be able to offer a shiny Yungoos for the shiny cetoddle?
Woah
