All Pokemon HOME Transferable Pokemon

Mass Outbreak Locations

The Pikachu and Friends Outbreak Event will be held in all three maps in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Pichu will appear in Paldea, Pikachu and Mimikyu will appear in Kitakami, and Raichu and Alolan Raichu will appear in the Terarium.

This means that only those that have purchased the DLC have access to Pikachu, Mimikyu, Raichu, and Alolan Raichu outbreaks.

Raichu and Alolan Raichu Locked Behind Base Game and Teal Mask Post-Game

The Raichu and Alolan Raichu outbreaks will only appear in The Indigo Disk's Terarium, which is only accessible if you have finished both the base game and The Teal Mask's stories.

That means that if you want to hunt for a Shiny Raichu or Alolan Raichu, you need to finish both the base game and The Teal Mask.

The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC

Has Boosted Shiny Chance

The Pikachu and Friends Outbreak Event features boosted Shiny encounter rates. You can further boost your chances of getting Shinies for Pikachu's evolution line with a Level 3 Sparking Power: Electric. For Mimikyu, you can use either a Level 3 Sparkling Power: Ghost or Level 3 Sparkling Power: Fairy sandwiches!
