Note that some Pokemon don't appear in Mass Outbreaks. For example, Legendary Pokemon will only appear in Space Time Distortions. If there's a particular Pokemon you're aiming for, be sure to check the list below before attempting to find them in Mass Outbreaks.

If You Don't Go To The Relevant Area, The Mass Outbreak Will Disappear
▲ Upon arriving to a specific area, specific Pokemon from other areas will change.
If you go to a certain Pokemon, the rest of the area will change. If you want to leave a Mass Outbreak to be at its current state, avoid going to other Mass outbreaks.
If You Don't See The Pokemon You're Looking For, Go To An Empty Area
If you go to an area where a mass outbreak is occurring, the Mass Outbreak will remain the same. If the Pokemon that you are targeting is not appearing, go to an Empty Area to reset. If you are not aiming for anything you can either go to an empty area or go back to the village.
You Can Only Reset A Few Times Randomly
Even if you return to the mass outbreak in the target area, if another Pokemon's mass outbreak flag is set, the mass outbreak of the target Pokemon will be overridden. The amount of times the targeted Pokemon's mass breakout occurs is determined at random.
You Can Start Over When You Save Data
You can resume the game and start over if you store the save data with the location of the Mass Outbreak, even if you switch to another Pokemon. Don't forget to turn off the auto save feature so it doesn't save automatically.
Avoid Battles As Much As Possible
Battles during Mass Outbreaks are basically many vs. one, and you are likely to be at a numerical disadvantage. Because of this, unless you have a very powerful Pokemon, avoiding battle is recommended.
Recommended Items For Avoiding Battles

|---|---|
| Stealth Spray | Stealth Spray erases the sounds of your footsteps so you would not be noticed. |
| Smoke Bomb | Blocks the sight of Pokemon |
