Grass vs. Fire vs. Water is the second Splatfest event for Splatoon 3. It was announced on social networks on 7 October 2022 and in-game on 4 November 2022 at 08:00 UTC.[1] This is the second Splatfest in the Splatoon series to be themed around the Pokémon franchise after Pokémon Red vs. Pokémon Blue/Green.
Details
This Splatfest is a celebration of the then-upcoming release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, which will launch roughly a week after the Splatfest on 18 November 2022. The Tricolor Turf War stage will be Sturgeon Shipyard.
In the Pokémon series, the player has a choice between three Starter Pokémon and choose one to accompany them as they start their adventure. Players choose between a Grass-type, Fire-type, and Water-type Pokémon, with those of different types having various strengths and weaknesses against each other.
Merchandise
T-Shirts and keychains based on the Splatfest teams were made available from the My Nintendo Store in Japan, United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Hong Kong.[2][3] In North America, the Splatfest Tees were only sold in the Nintendo New York store.[4] Most regions outside of Japan sold the Tees as pre-orders to be delivered at the start of 2023.
