Hello, everyone!

This month's theme for the Coin Event is based on a Snow on the Beach theme. I've been listening to the new Taylor Swift album, and thought it seemed like a fitting name for a lot of the ice types we have!
The event will run from the 9th of December until the 26th of December at reset. (December 8th 11:55pm ET -> December 26th 11:55pm ET)

If you had any leftover Coins from the previous event, your total will be reset to 0 when the event begins.

The dreidel will be active from December 18th until the end of the event on December 26th. It will work the same as usual.

The Event Shop will remain open until December 30th 11:55pm ET. Try to purchase what you can by then!

When the event begins at the designated time, the following Winter and Hanukkah themed Pokémon will hatch with a Coin:
Winter:
Alolan Sandshrew
Alolan Vulpix
Amaura
Bergmite
Castform
Chingling
Crabrawler
Cryogonal
Cubchoo
Delibird
Eiscue
Galarian Darumaka
Lapras
Pineco
Piplup
Rolycoly
Seel
Shellder
Smoochum
Sneasel
Snom
Snorunt
Snover
Spheal
Stantler
Swinub
Vanillite

Hanukkah:
Baltoy
Charmander
Litwick
Tyrougue
Vulpix

If you've saved enough Coins, you'll be able to exchange them for some lovely prizes in the Event Shop!
Prizes range from 1 Coin to a top prize of 500 Coins.

We hope you'll have lots of fun with this event!

Ditto has been disabled due to an unforeseen circumstance. It will not continue being in the event.

So overlapping coin event, Dreidel and presumably a scavenger hunt as well? That should keep young trainers too busy for mischief. Oh... and of course a few Pokehunts as well. And Dreidel coins are the same as Event coins and we get some coins for finishing Scavenger hunt or am I just needing to go clear my head with fresh, cold (but no snow) air?

It is interesting the Event Shop closes just a few days after the event ends. I guess that would help reduce the "big pile of coins" for any unlimited summoning/resurrect/egg items.


ETA: Rolycoly? I am sure it might be useful on a snowy beach day for some warmth.... but I think I may be missing part of the common lore here? And the only <5k egg in the bunch it will be popular but perhaps not so much since it was recently in other events/hunts/something which allowed many to hatch some shinies already.

ETA2: Since event eggs appear more commonly in the lab and Ditto is an event egg will it appear more commonly in the lab? This would be great as I still am seeking just one more Sh. Ditto...

Aww you're all good, TM. They're good questions. I'm not really sure either, but it should be all the same. I had Zerxer look over the thread before posting it to make sure that nothing would clash. We'll see when the scavenger hunt and dreidel go live... If not, then someone will ping him in the discord probably.

There was a comment in the Planning Events thread that suggested rolycoly as a "coal for christmas" option that I thought was really clever and added it in there.

As for maturity, I don't look at that anymore. If something fits with the theme - though this theme name is a stretch, since I didn't want to go with the generic Winter Wonderland name - then it'll go in.

With that said, the coin event themes are set for over the next year in advance right now except for next December. If anyone has a theme in mind for December then go suggest it in the planning events thread!

Also, if anyone has breeding requests for these events then feel free to ask in here, or ask others what they would like bred. This list felt pretty long to me, so I imagine some will be more favored than others. I'll be breeding Alolan Sandshrew.
