During the Splatoon 3 Pokemon Splatfest, players must choose the team they want to be on and then compete in Turf War battles to see who comes out victorious at the end of the three-day event. And it makes perfect sense to have this Pokemon-themed Splatfest in early November because one week after the Splatfest, the next generation of Pokemon games will come out, Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet.

Splatoon 3 Pokemon Splatfest Start and End Time

The Pokemon Splatfest in Splatoon 3 will start on Friday, November 11, at 4 PM PT/ 5 PM MT / 6 PM CT / 7 PM ET. It will come to an end on Sunday, November 13, at 4 PM PT / 5 PM MT / 6 PM CT / 7 PM ET. A few days leading up to the big event, players can pledge to one of the teams by visiting the pledge box in the middle of Splatsville. Players will receive a shirt after choosing a team, and the shirt will need to be worn during the Splatfest.

How Do I Win the Splatfest?

In order for Team Fire, Team Water, or Team Grass to come out on top of the competition during the Splatfest, there are three things players need to keep in mind.

Votes: The team that gets the most overall votes will be given 10 points. Clout: To earn Clout during a Splatfest, players need to essentially just keep playing and winning matches. The winner of this one gets 10 points too. Sneak Peek: A few days before the Splatfest begins, players can earn Conch Shells by leveling up their Catalog level. These can then be used at the Shell-Out Machine to get rewards. The team that collects the most shells will get 10 points toward the overall Splatfest score.

Splatoon 3 is available for the Nintendo Switch.
