Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players can now officially get two of the rarest Pokemon in the game very easily, shiny hunt them and get them with special badges, but there is a catch. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has mostly been in maintenance mode for quite some time now, especially since no new seasons were released for Gen 9 games and attention started shifting to Pokemon winds and waves year 2027 and Pokemon champion for VGC. Now, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet gets some new, refreshing events, but it's unclear how long this series will last.
The new one Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Summer 2026 events include a 7-star Tera Raid dedicated to Magikarp the Unrivaled, where players can farm for rare items and a chance to catch the unique, iconic fish creature. In this case, the Magikarp from the raid will always have the most powerful badge, which can only be obtained in this way. Additionally, there are mass outbreaks where Pokemon are more likely to have a rare badge, including Dondozo, Tatsugiri, and Veluza from the base game. DLC is where this gets more interesting, but it also means owning the expansions.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players can now easily obtain Shiny Basculin and Basculegion
One of the ongoing events is dedicated to the White Stripe Basculin and Feebas in Kitakami, which means players can now get the Basculegion in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet extremely easy, get a shiny, and possibly with a Mark. The same applies to Milotic. However, these Pokémon require ownership of The Teal Mask DLC to obtain. Both Feebas and White Stripe Basculin are extremely rare as mass outbreaks, and even changing the date on Switch or Switch 2 countless times can never produce a mass outbreak for either animal. In addition to that, the White Stripe Basculin is only available in a specific location, which is a lake-like location near the Timeless Woods. For this reason, most players who have a base legion that is shiny, marked, or both have captured it Pokemon Legends: Arceus or had a lot of luck in Kitakami.

Start
Now players can obtain both Feebas and White Stripe Basculin from guaranteed mass outbreaks daily until August 6, 2026. If players want to participate in the event but do not have time or luck is not on their side in the pursuit of a Shiny and/or Marked White Stripe Basculin or Feebas, the event can be extended even after the online player has been extended. August 6. This is a unique chance to get these otherwise super rare Pokémon Pokemon Scarlet and Violetand fans should pick up theirs before August 6.
It's also worth mentioning that Basculegion is one of the best Pokemon in Pokemon championand Milotic is also highly desirable due to its ability to counter Incineroar and other Intimidate Pokemon with Competitive. Also, Milotic is the only Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: ZA that must be traded in to get it, so bring one in Scarlet and Violet can then be great to then transfer it via Home.
Feebas are more likely to appear with the Prideful Mark during the event, while White Stripe Basculin are more likely to have the wild mark. This only applies to event-related mass outbreaks, which appear and change daily. To increase their odds, players can also use sandwiches that make Marks more likely to appear, or even combine this with increased shiny odds to get one of the rarer Pokémon in the game. Then Feebas must be traded to evolve into Milotic Pokemon Scarlet and Violetwhile to get Basculegion, players must make sure it can withstand 294 points of recoil damage without fainting, and then level it up.
