Las massive appearances in Pokémon Scarlet and Purple It’s an interesting mechanic, especially because it allows us to capture shinys more easily. These herds were already present from the second generation. And in a more similar way to this new installment, in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. In this article we will compare both video games to study the differences they have with respect to this mechanic.
For starters, the mass apparitions both in Pokemon Scarlet and Purple like in Pokemon Legends: Arceus They allow us to catch shinys for as many of the same Pokémon in a given area. In short, they make our task easier and in this sense they fulfill the same function.
What are the differences between the mass appearances in Pokémon Scarlet and Purple and Pokémon Legends: Arceus?
In Pokemon Legends: Arceuyes, the mass apparitions they are unlocked once you finish the quest “The Fury of the Lord of the Woods”. Therefore, before it is necessary to advance in the main story. It is at this moment that we can talk to the guard at the gate of Villa Jubilee so that he informs us of these herds and it is possible to see them on the game map. On the other hand, only one outbreak can appear for each area. It is not possible for several to come out at the same time in the same area.
If you go to the area of the massive appearances in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you will meet a group of four Pokémon. More will appear as you catch and defeat Pokémon, up to 15 Pokémon. Each mass appearance You can get to have an alpha Pokémon, but only one. In addition, the probability of finding a shiny is base 1 in 4,096 and a maximum of 7 out of 4,096 adding the necessary bonuses (Iris Amulet, perfect Pokédex and complete Pokédex.
When you finish the game, you will unlock the supermassive appearances. These differ from the mass apparitions normal in that they only appear in adverse weather conditions and are only there for a certain time. They are also characterized by several occurring at the same time in the same area. In some of them, the evolved Pokémon appear during their life and several alphas can even appear, but only when you defeat all the Pokémon. You can tell what they are if they have a star on the map.
On the other hand, the appearances in Pokémon Scarlet and Purple they are very different. Several arise and change daily.

Although it is true that the same possibilities of finding shinys in the massive appearances of Pokemon Scarlet and Purple like in Pokemon Legends: Arceus: 1 in 4,096 without the Iris Amulet (with it it doubles); This latest installment of the franchise makes up for it with the number of Pokémon we have on screen. When we defeat 30 Pokémon, the chances increase from 2 in 4,096 and with 60 it increases from 3 in 4,096. In Pokemon Scarlet and Purple many more appear, between 100 and 120 for each outbreak.
However, in Pokemon Scarlet and Purple There is not supermassive Appearances, which came in handy to capture shinys. These add +12 to the probability rate and we can get up to a bonus of 32 of 4,096 with the sum of all the bonuses.
