Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ News and Updates _ December Events

Posted by: Zerxer Dec 9 2018, 02:27 PM

It's December again! Time for some events! This year won't be as grand as the last 2 years, though, sorry about that. We're still doing 3 of the events, but Hanukkah started really early in the month, so we missed out on that, and I'm crazy busy with work right now.


I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season and end of 2018!


Explorations
The two Christmas explorations, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and "Secret of Christmas", have been activated and will run through the end of the month.

Secret Santa Exchange
Deposits will be open sometime on Sunday the 23rd and will last thru Tuesday the 25th, with the exchange itself happening after reset. I will post additional information around that time, but it'll work about the same as https://forums.gpx.plus/index.php?showtopic=74512.

New Year's Raffle
This will work the same as it did previous years: you'll have a day to be as active as possible, and for every 2019 points of Activity Score earned, you'll get one entry. We'll then distribute a certain number of vouchers for a new Pokémon, and you'll have a chance to get one based on the number of entries you earned. I'll post more information about this later, as always.

Ooooohhhhh, Secret Santa time. Now, time to figure out what to put into the Exchange...

Posted by: Myou Dec 9 2018, 07:46 PM

I'm sad about the Hanukkah event, but that's how life goes sometimes and the past few months have been especially hectic, so I can understand it.

That said, I'm really jazzed for the Secret Santa exchange, and I know exactly what I'm going to put in~

Hopefully, I can get my tail in gear and finish the special explorations so I can do a Christmas exploration or two.

Posted by: Luneon Dec 9 2018, 08:41 PM

Too bad about the Hanukkah event, but I'm glad the raffle is still a thing
Gonna have to think about what to throw in this time

Glad we still have a while for this

Posted by: Gryphaena Dec 9 2018, 09:54 PM

Thanks for the Exchange and the Raffle!

I know I can take part in those! :]

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Dec 10 2018, 06:04 PM

I already know what I'm going to put in for the Secret Santa Exchange, definitely going to try and be active for the Raffle though, gotta see what the prizes are after all happy.gif.

Posted by: Esc Dec 10 2018, 09:58 PM

I'm glad that we're getting the exchange and raffle. Gonna be fun!

Posted by: timeerkat Dec 11 2018, 01:42 AM

I need to remember to actually enter the exchange this year! I missed it the last two years and it's one of my favorite events here so I was pretty bummed at myself when I realized I missed it.

Posted by: Mamanator Dec 16 2018, 06:58 PM

I was surprised at how early Hanukkah came this year also and totally missed its kick off. Ugh! I'll definitely participate in the Secret Santa, but don't think it'll yield me much as I don't really have anything. There's only one Pokemon I hope to get in exchange, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll just cross my fingers (I'd cross my eyes but I don't know how LOL).

Also looking forward to the New Year's Raffle. While I'm on vacation now, I can only hope New Year's Eve will be nice and slow to allow me enough time to grab a few entries. Here's hoping!

Tomorrow I'll begin the Christmas explores as well. It'll be nice to give them another go through.

Thank you, GPX for always offering us choices and fun events. I haven't played any other internet games (think FB games) in a long while because I have enjoyed coming here and diving back into the explorations again. happy.gif

Another shiny unsummonable legendary, if someone else puts one in. Otherwise, an unshiny unsummonable legendary.

Presumably it's around December 31st, since it rolls over into 2019 the next day.

Posted by: timeerkat Dec 23 2018, 12:35 AM

Whew, actually remembered to enter the exchange this year! Good luck to all who enter for getting what you want!

Posted by: Gryphaena Dec 23 2018, 01:04 AM

I hope someone likes the shiny Novelty I put in!

Posted by: Myou Dec 23 2018, 10:37 AM

And with that, a shiny unsummonable legend has made its way into the exchange in hopes of finding a new home~

Also, it's funny how I seem to forget every year that the exchange takes a slot in my party until the exchange happens because my brain is all 'you must put something shiny in now or you'll forget later'. Oh well.

Posted by: AregularFrankiefan Dec 23 2018, 07:25 PM

I put in the Genesect I nabbed from the Safari Zone forever ago, I hope someone enjoys it...even though we just had the Genesect explo lol

Posted by: grumpish Dec 25 2018, 10:44 AM

Never mind. Answered my own question.

I deposited a shiny meloetta, hopefully someone enjoys that happy.gif

It will most likely be the 31st. Just because it's the day before New Years. It's how it is every year.

Posted by: Zerxer Dec 29 2018, 11:36 PM

To clarify here, the New Year's Raffle will use your activity score from Monday, December 31st, as that is New Year's Eve. Sadly that falls on a Monday.

You will receive one entry in to the raffle for every 2019 points of activity, however large amounts of entries will not guarantee a prize. As with any raffle, you could win with just one entry.

Posted by: Trainer Emily Dec 30 2018, 02:23 PM

Has the 'certain amount' of vouchers to be distributed been confirmed yet, or are we not allowed to know?

Best of luck to everyone entering, I certainly will be, this is the first time I would have entered!

Trainer Emily.

Thank you for that clarification. Tomorrow is my first day back to work following my holiday vacation, but I am certain that I can score one or two entries. happy.gif I'm hoping for multiple entries even though I know it only takes one; that's just how my luck has been running lately. *blush*

I do hope everyone had a wonderful and Merry Christmas. Here is to a positive and strong end to the year! Cheers!

Trainer Emily, I'm of the opinion that they won't tell us the number of vouchers. That would make some give up even though they might have a chance. I'd say just click as much as you can when you can tomorrow and be aware of your local reset time for the site. Remember the main factor for tomorrow. Click to have fun. grin.gif That's what I'm going to do once I get back from the mail tun to the office. wink.gif

Posted by: Snowsky Dec 30 2018, 08:04 PM

Ooh! I really want the new Pokemon! (I'm guessing it's Zeraora, Meltan, Buzzwole, or Poipole.) I hope there's a big multiplier tomorrow!

Good luck everyone!

Don't lose hope! Like Zerxer said, it's possible to win even with just one entry!

Posted by: timeerkat Dec 31 2018, 11:40 PM

16.8k interactions and I'm done. That should net me 8 entries. Good luck, everyone!

Posted by: Myou Jan 1 2019, 12:17 AM

Phew, my activity score totaled out to 792,208... so 392 entries?

I think my fingers are about to fall off after that. Here's to hoping for something nice, good luck everyone~

Hard same. I've gotten a couple k as well, but just like in previous years I'm not being too hopeful haha.

Posted by: Mamanator Jan 1 2019, 12:27 AM

I'm kind of afraid to even look to see if I got one. Maybe they haven't even gone out and perhaps tomorrow (the "real" tomorrow) will tell for sure.

Good luck to all who vied for the voucher(s). And... while I'm 1.5 hours on the wrong side of it... HAPPY NEW YEAR to Everyone!

Iirc, don't we usually get scratchcards alongside prizes or was that for the Hannukah event last year? In any case, I'm guessing the script's probably not going to run until later.

Posted by: YoRHa No9 Type S Jan 1 2019, 12:50 AM

I haven't seen a single user with a new egg, so I'm guessing the vouchers haven't been distributed yet.

I've seen a couple of people with an interesting Novelty while mass-clicking, though. There's been two; I think one was shiny but it might have been just an alt. sprite.

Yep, there was a shiny. It looks like the new novelty was added before reset yesterday. If you check the dex entry for its base Pokemon, it'll tell you how to get it.

Hmm, so the possibility of getting a completely new thing from a Voucher isn't ruled out after all. Thanks for letting me know.

Guess i'll have to round up a few of the base 'mon, I seem to have accidentally released my only one..

??? How do you know what to look for? If we haven't come across the new novelty egg yet, how can we know what to look for on how to come by one for ourselves? Because, yeah, my GPX Good Luck Charm must still be charging up. I won't tell you how long it's been charging... but no voucher over here. *sad expected sigh* So how do us normal folk find what to look for? ???

New Novelty has to do with Swablu! There's no special Egg in that case. I can't say much more. But the Novelty has nothing to do with the Voucher, that's an entirely different thing.

I checked the Pokedex. It looks like the Pokemon that'll come from the voucher has been implemented, but I haven't seen anyone with an egg that resembles it.

Thanks for that, YoRHa No9 Type S. I'm not quite sure how I can check the Pokedex when I don't know what to search for, but I guess I'll find out for sure tomorrow. That's ok. I like surprises. And I think my house is falling quiet now so I can actually get some sleep. Here's hoping that those wishing will get a voucher and those wanting sleep can find some as well. Apparently my house isn't as empty as I hoped as I hear someone else's voice. May it be the quiet one who is left. *smirk*

If you go to the pokedex and clear all entries. Scroll all the way to the bottom, you'll see what you dont have yet. The pokemon will be there.

Hey, happy new year everyone!

Sadly, there was no post about the new year's raffle on the main page, and I came here to find out I missed it entirely. I was waiting for more info, which did not come. I had been saving up boxes of pokémon to release just for this and I am feeling kinda cheated.
Maybe next time put it on the game's main page if there is an update? I didn't know it was yesterday sad.gif

And I've got the same problem, at the first page it didn't say when the raffle was in the first post, but I had 25k of interaction points worth of Pokemon saved up crying.gif

Hello everyone!

We hope that 2019 will be an amazing year for you.

But if you haven't received a voucher... don't worry! We have some more news:
Since this year will most likely bring more Ultra Beasts to the site, we wanted to make them easier to obtain.
Have you guys tried putting one in the Daycare with a Ditto, yet? There seems to be a new egg group in town!

The Ultra Wormhole header event will continue to give out Ultra Beasts, including the new one just added to the site.

New Year's Raffle:

As originally mentioned, for every 2019 activity score you had yesterday, you earned 1 entry into the raffle. There were 633 eligible users, and 336 prizes went out. Given that it's a raffle, a prize is not guaranteed (nor is the rarity of the prize), you simply increase your chances by having more entries.

Here's the list of prizes that went out:
The first number is how many of that prize were distributed, and nothing to do with your number of entries. Someone with just 1 entry, and someone with 250 entries, were both eligible for all of the prizes.

Happy New Year!

Posted by: Lusamine Hotsuin Jan 1 2019, 04:50 PM

I got a friend bean!!!!! This is literally the best prize I could've gotten out of these, because I'd probably use a shiny legend voucher on Poipole anyway (the legend I most want shiny is Giratina and given that's a summonable...), so better someone else gets it and I get it specified to what I wanted, one of my favourite Alolan beans~

Thank you! c(^-^ c)

Posted by: Cycloneblaze Jan 1 2019, 05:05 PM

The Ultra Beast egg group is a great idea! I didn't end up entering the raffle (only heard about it late in the day, which seems to have been common...) so it's especially nice since a Poipole is all the prize I really would have expected from it. Thanks NOM n' all grin.gif

Hello everyone!

We hope that 2019 will be an amazing year for you.
  • After so many sparkly fireworks, we thought it would be nice to have a twinkling new novelty at the start of this new year: Altaria [Constellation]!
  • By now, the raffle has taken place, and multiple Voucher types were handed out. Some vouchers turned out to be out of this world! Hope you guys will enjoy the new Pokémon and its evolution.
But if you haven't received a voucher... don't worry! We have some more news:

Thank you, happy new years to you as well!
I was already wondering what that strange voucher was doing in my inventory all of a sudden.

Speaking of vouchers, regarding Magearna & Marshadow, will they remain exclusive to their respective vouchers or will they eventually be added to the Legendary Voucher Plus lineup?

You should have. I knew about it, but another site was having New Year's Eve things going on, I only got to GPX around 11 PM Eastern, and I STILL got an Otherworldly Voucher.

I managed to get a Sh. Novelty voucher! Wow! Now to decide what to use it on, XD

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Jan 1 2019, 07:53 PM

I got another Shiny Voucher Plus, this is the second year in a row that I got one grin.gif(plus one from an event a looooong time ago). I used the one I got last year on a shiny Unown !, no idea what I'll use this one on.

Posted by: Myou Jan 1 2019, 08:04 PM

Woah... I seriously got the Sh. Legend Voucher Plus? Holy crap, thank you! crazy.gif

I'm tempted to go for the shiny poipole (I just realized its name sounds like purple, derp) since it's the only legend I don't have yet, but I've been pining after a shiny mew since I joined the site. I'll probably wait until my birthday to decide and redeem it, make it special~

Thank you again for the event, I'm so freaking jazzed right now!

I got a Shiny Voucher Plus too, and used it on Ditto. Since Poipole is breedable now, and all the legendaries I really want the shinies of can be summoned or bred, this was the best outcome for me. happy.gif

Oooh, Otherworldly Voucher! Tempted to use it on Poiple now, but my birthday is in a few weeks so I might wait until then and use it if I don't come across an egg in the shelter.

Hello everyone!

We hope that 2019 will be an amazing year for you.
  • After so many sparkly fireworks, we thought it would be nice to have a twinkling new novelty at the start of this new year: Altaria [Constellation]!
  • By now, the raffle has taken place, and multiple Voucher types were handed out. Some vouchers turned out to be out of this world! Hope you guys will enjoy the new Pokémon and its evolution.
But if you haven't received a voucher... don't worry! We have some more news:
Since this year will most likely bring more Ultra Beasts to the site, we wanted to make them easier to obtain.
Have you guys tried putting one in the Daycare with a Ditto, yet? There seems to be a new egg group in town!

The Ultra Wormhole header event will continue to give out Ultra Beasts, including the new one just added to the site.

New Year's Raffle:

As originally mentioned, for every 2019 activity score you had yesterday, you earned 1 entry into the raffle. There were 633 eligible users, and 336 prizes went out. Given that it's a raffle, a prize is not guaranteed (nor is the rarity of the prize), you simply increase your chances by having more entries.

Here's the list of prizes that went out:
  • 1 - Sh. Legend Voucher Plus
  • 10 - Sh. Voucher (this is specifically for a Sh. Poipole)
  • 25 - Sh. Novelty Voucher
  • 50 - Sh. Voucher Plus (for all non-Legendary, Canon Pokémon)
  • 250 - Otherworldly Voucher
The first number is how many of that prize were distributed, and nothing to do with your number of entries. Someone with just 1 entry, and someone with 250 entries, were both eligible for all of the prizes.

Happy New Year!


Looks like i got the otherworldly voucher. used it to get poipole. Thanks for the event... happy.gif
Happy new year to one and all

Can you use voucher eggs for achievements like 'Good Luck'? I was under the impression you couldn't, though I don't remember where I read it.

Huh, that's good to know. I knew it worked for shiny hunts since I used a shiny voucher for a ditto last year and it registered the hunt as complete when I hatched it... but for some reason, I thought it couldn't be used for achievements. Glad to see I was proven wrong, thank you~

I honestly can't quite believe I was lucky enough to get one of the shiny Poipole vouchers!!! Thank you so much! I'm even more excited than when I managed to get a Tapu Koko voucher a few years ago.

Happy New Year everyone!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful 2019!

Yet again another great event!

Thank you for the voucher, I'm excited to see Poipole for the very first time!

Trainer Emily.

A question. Would the hatched pokemon redeemed using voucher still be shiny if its corrupted?

Say, if I redeemed for a Milktank and corrupted the egg using chocolate bar, would it hatch into a sh. Chocolate Milktank?

That's right. It's one of the prefered methods of getting corruptible shinies, as unreliable hassle they usually are.

I think Zerx or someone said that it'll now be available through Wormholes in another thread.

Posted by: Gigadyne Jan 2 2019, 07:03 AM

Check out the minor updates thread as well, UB's are now like Type Null, with separate egg group.

So, I miss the event?
I thought the event would not be held.
And I don't get anything.
It's so sad.

I'm sure you'll get a Voucher next time. Besides, with the fact that Poipole, Nihilego, and the Cosmog line can now be bred, it'll be easier to get Pokedex entries of those.

Oh wow! I'm totally floored! I got myself a voucher from the raffle event!! Thank you, GPX!!! love.gif love.gif I scored one of the Sh. Voucher Pluses. I saw someone mentioned using it the previous year on a Ditto. That's a good idea. I'm sure I can't use it for the one I have been seeking since that is a novelty, but I do have a ton of shiny hunts going on. Just don't know if I want to use it on a "standard" Pokemon. I think something like Ditto, or one of the Pokemon that can be corrupted, might be a better plan. For now, I think I'll hold on to it though. Let me think about it some first.

Congrats to everyone who vied for the raffle and walked away with something. It sounds like almost half (if not exactly that) walked away with something. That is a rather large pay out and I am very grateful for it.

Again, thank you, GPX. love.gif love.gif

There was a raffle? I never knew about this! Oh well. Congrats to those that got a voucher.

Sorry to everyone who was available on NYE but didn't realize there was a raffle... sad.gif I should have added an update to the header and posted on social media.

Congrats to everyone who won something, especially Myou! But also everyone else, of course. happy.gif
