Outbreaks

Outbreaks are the game's rotating target-hunt system.

The board

• Two outbreaks are active at a time.
• Each outbreak is tied to a specific route.
• The boosted spawn pressure only applies inside that outbreak hotspot.

On the map, you are supposed to think:

• What species is live?
• Which route has it?
• How deep into combo can I push this board?

Outbreak combo

Combo is the main chase layer.

• Catch the active outbreak species repeatedly on the current board.
• Your combo is species-specific to that live outbreak target.
• The important Shiny surge breakpoints are now:
  • 30 catches = 1 in 2,500
  • 45 catches = 1 in 1,250
• The surge ends when the board ends or you catch a different species.

Board orders

Every board also has short-cycle outbreak tasks.

These are the repeatable rewards for that live board only.

Examples:

• survey the board
• catch the target species
• build combo

The board rewards were tuned down so the best prizes stay concentrated in the harder combo breakpoints instead of flooding every easy board.

Permanent outbreak reward pass

Outbreaks also track long-term progression in three lanes:

• total outbreak target catches
• best outbreak combo ever reached
• species clears

A species clear happens after 10 target catches on that species.

Rewards

Outbreak rewards are split on purpose:

• Board rewards are the short repeatable payouts.
• Reward pass milestones are the prestige rewards that stick.

Reward bundles can include:

• coins
• battle pass points
• items
• titles
• profile badges
• profile frames
• inspect badges

Best way to use outbreaks

If you want fast value:

• chase the active hotspot
• decide early whether you are farming rewards or pushing combo
• stay on the target species if you are trying to hit the Shiny breakpoints
