How to Manipulate Outbreaks in Pokemon Scarlet
Best answer

The key to manipulating outbreaks in Pokemon Scarlet is understanding the game's internal clock. Outbreaks reset every day, so you can adjust your Switch's system clock to change the date and trigger new outbreaks. Remember, though, playing with the system clock might make some timed events unavailable for a while, so use this trick wisely!

Honestly, I wouldn't bother too much with manipulating outbreaks. Just play the game as it is meant to be played. There’s plenty of fun to be had in the randomness and the challenge it brings. Catching them all is more rewarding when it's a surprise!

I've had great luck with outbreaks by keeping an eye on the in-game news through the Poke Portal. It gives you hints about where you might find them next. No need to mess with the system clock, just pay attention to the game cues and be a bit patient.

From my experience, resetting the game until an outbreak appears where you want it is also an option, though it's a bit time-consuming. On the plus side, it doesn't involve changing your system settings, just a lot of patience and maybe some good luck!
