Nintendo has announced an upcoming Splatoon x Pokémon Splatfest. The Splatfest will begin next Friday November 11th at 4 p.m. Pacific and run until Sunday, November 13th at 4 p.m. Pacific. But as of today, you can get on Splatoon 3 to pick your team for this upcoming Splatfest and get your Splatfest Tee. In addition to unlocking abilities on your Tee in preparation for the Splatfest, you can also start earning Conch Shells to spend on the Shell-Out Machine. Feel free to check out the teaser trailer down below and read a little bit more about the Splatoon x Pokémon collaboration Splatfest, from the latest press release.
In the Pokémon series, players typically start their adventure by choosing a Pokémon with one of these three types: Grass-type. Fire-type. Water-type. What a conundrum … and a cute one at that! Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses. When choosing your partner Pokémon, which type would you choose? If you have thoughts on the matter, it’s time to settle it in a Splatfest! Starting today, you can make your choice for this epic Splatfest from the Splatsville hub area.
When you participate in Splatfest Battles, the goal is to ink as much of the stage as you can. Splatfests also feature Tricolor Turf War battles, where players splat it out in three-team messfests! It’s a great opportunity to gather some friends – you can squad up with three other players that voted for the same side and battle for your cause together. At the end of the event, the winning side will be revealed and in-game Super Sea Snails will be handed out, which you can redeem to add sub ability slots into a piece of gear. The side that prevails will win more Super Sea Snails!
