Super happy about the prize for Gryph, it's really nice to see that community effort. Good job on that. Thanks.

In other news, also happy about Yveltal explo being available, since I still need one ~

I tried as hard as I could given my limited free time, but the shiny Omny evaded my grasp. I was really hoping that the SWSHy prize was going to be some type of tribute to Gryphaena and I see that GPX did not disappoint. I picked up a couple of the beautiful soul hearts and knew, by reading the description, it was her tribute. That's one of the reasons I love GPX so dang much. You all care so incredibly much.

I'm going to keep hunting for my shiny Omny and hopefully it'll be a girl.

Congratulations to those that walked away with a shiny this time around.

Please send warm regards to PokeNOM NOM NOM for spriting the new novelty and to Yamper (Sam) for spriting the Soul Heart! (I only know this because Nick credited them in the Discord).

I am so happy that this SWSH Prize was dedicated to Gryph! I've seen it already and it is beautiful.
Thanks to everyone who came together to make it happen!

Thanks for the appreciative posts, guys. I hope Gryph would've liked the novelty.
It was really nice to see everyone think of her with the SWSH choices, I love this little community!

It's August already, oh man. I'll be focusing on finishing up some shiny hunts (including this month's SWSH).
I've been neglecting my monthly explorations. But... I might still go for a legendary bird.

And happy birthday, Jeff! Thanks for the nice multiplier!
