Hope everyone had a spooktacular month! Now that it's getting colder I'm quite appreciating the days where the floor isn't too cold to want to get out of bed. Looking forward to the next SWSH!

Just wanted to apologize for doing the poll so late on the month BUT if you are still interested in it, you can always vote for it over here:

I'll keep it running at least five more days, so if you are interested in changing the result... Well, this is your chance!

In the meantime... I hope everyone had fun with the event! I myself am still trying to get that elusive shiny Zombidofo :'D
Hope everyone else got what they wanted/have enough coins to get it!

Can we look into improving or getting rid of Prize+? It feels like every other plus in the game gives SOME benefits over all 3 days, whereas Prize+ is good for... 5 minutes? Maybe? And even then, it doesn't even actually stock everything someone might want to buy. Maybe if it had summon items/QoL items (florb/honey/etc.) it might have a little more value, but right now it feels like just a waste of credits that could be put to something more useful -- and especially frustrating on the last day of an event where just about anything else other than Pass+ or Trinket+ would be more useful. (Not that either of those are bad; just not for last days of events.)

I feel like getting rid of it and folding it into a pass power would just be better in general and allow users more freedom and ACTUAL quality of life.

Edit: I feel like this is especially important too with how much more sparse pluses have become in the last few months. This event finally was better for that, but it's still a concern that perceived "low value" pluses probably don't help with the lack of pluses.

Wow, we used up all the candy already?

Hungry 'mons ate it all up?

That was a fun event! I took it a little slower than usual (for me), but I still got enough coins for everything I wanted.

I'm actually starting to want to see some of the more newly-added pokemon show up in the SWSH again. There was a period where it seemed like only the most recently added were getting picked, but now we have a decent backlog of gen 8 pokemon that haven't made it in. Maybe they can in one of the upcoming months?

Friendly reminder that the current 'In the Shadows' Event Shop will close tonight upon reset. This is the last day to use any leftover coins!
