This will be the second Splatfest, following the gear, grub, and fun Splatfest, which had a great turnout and saw Team Gear winning it all. We expect a similar turnout for this Splatfest, but we hope the results will be a little more even and spread out between the teams.
This Splatfest comes right before the launch the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and we will likely get the results around the launch of the newest Pokémon titles. If you want to show your support for your favorite Pokémon starter type ahead of its launch, jump into Splatoon 3 and help your type’s team claim victory.
