Hello, everyone!
Valentine's Day is approaching! We hope you all have a wonderful day, whether you celebrate Valentine's or not, especially with quarantine still being necessary.

We present you with a repeat of last year's event which will last 12 days (it's the site's 12th birthday after all)!
It will run from the 14th until the 25th of February at reset. (Feb 13th 11:55pm ET -> Feb 25th 11:55pm ET)

The Valentine's Day candies will be back, replacing the regular berries until the event ends.

If you had any leftover Heart Mail from last year, your total will be reset to 0 when the event begins. If you had enough to exchange for a prize, please consider doing so before they're reset.

The Valentine's Day exploration 'A Show of Friendship' will be active throughout the event.

On the first day of the event, we'll have a distribution, with an increased chance of obtaining a shiny Pokémon!

More things may be announced later.

When the event begins at the designated time, the following Pokémon might hatch with a cute Valentine's Day surprise - Heart Mail:

• Cleffa
• Igglybuff
• Slowpoke
• Exeggcute
• Lickitung
• Happiny
• Mime Jr.
• Porygon
• Hoppip
• Snubbull
• Corsola
• Smoochum
• Miltank
• Whismur
• Skitty
• Luvdisc
• Cherubi
• Munna
• Audino
• Alomomola
• Spritzee
• Oricorio [Pa'u]
• Fomantis
• Stufful
• Bruxish
• Pink Caterpie
• Pinkan Rhyhorn
• Valentacool
• Floral Togepi
• Magikarp [Pink]

If you've saved enough of these 'Heart Mail' items, you'll be able to exchange them for some lovely prizes!
Prizes range from 10 Heart Mail to a top prize of 400 Heart Mail. You cannot collect more than 400, so be sure to redeem them if you hit this max so that you can resume collecting more!

We hope you'll have lots of fun with this event!
Make sure to keep a party space open on the 14th around 4 p.m. ET (server time) to have a chance in the distributions!

If you had any leftover Heart Mail from last year, your total will be reset to 0 when the event begins. If you had enough to exchange for a prize, please consider doing so before they're reset.

Let the pink magikarp apocalypse begin! Thanks for this event again. Always fun. Happy birthday site!

... pink ... why does this bring to mind a period of manic swirling chaos?

Happy Anniversary!

Posted by: Kingis Feb 9 2021, 03:49 PM

Looking forward to the event! Not gonna go anywhere as crazy as last year though lol

Posted by: Professor Eucalyptus Feb 9 2021, 03:59 PM

It's big, scary, and pink!
Also wow, I was totally unaware A Show of Friendship was a V-Day exploration.

Posted by: AkaruTheYoshi Feb 9 2021, 04:16 PM

Time for more pink fun this year! Hopefully I'll be able to get me a nice, not-so-pink shiny out of it.

Posted by: Eryth Violet Feb 9 2021, 06:47 PM

Some people went really hog wild last year, so I want to remind everyone to not overdo it! Take care of yourself during this event! The karp are very tempting.

I'm excited though! I always really enjoy these hatching events, and I think this will be very fun.

Posted by: Zotz Feb 9 2021, 08:38 PM

Gosh, I'm trying to figure out what creature to breed for this event.

Posted by: Darky Feb 10 2021, 01:23 AM

Happy upcoming birthday site=3So, are the prizes the same as last year?

Posted by: CheerDream Feb 10 2021, 09:51 AM

Wow! Great! I've always wanted to try something new!

Sparkle time!

Posted by: timeerkat Feb 10 2021, 07:08 PM

Sounds fun! I'll have to try and log on and hatch as much as I can during the event!

Also, just making sure - is Heart Mail different than the Heart's Wish egg voucher item?

Posted by: pumpkinking0192 Feb 10 2021, 08:18 PM

Yes, Heart Mail is a "Miscellaneous Item" rather than a voucher.

Posted by: timeerkat Feb 11 2021, 12:51 PM

Great, thanks!

Posted by: Mr Spaz Feb 11 2021, 10:08 PM

I only got to 392 last year and I held them, thinking, "oh, I'll be able to get those last 8 next year."
So much for that.

On the first day of the event, we'll have a distribution, with an increased chance of obtaining a shiny Pokémon!

Make sure to keep a party space open on the 14th around 4 p.m. ET (server time) to have a chance in the distributions!

A limited number of eggs will be distributed, so you are not guaranteed to receive one.

Posted by: Yamper Feb 12 2021, 11:36 PM

ooooooooh yeeeeeeeeeah

Posted by: Professor Eucalyptus Feb 12 2021, 11:45 PM

This is highly suspicious. You mean an increased chance for all eggs or just this particular pokemon?
Either way, I hope it's Pink Karp. I just gotta squeeze it.

Posted by: Yamper Feb 12 2021, 11:46 PM

The distribution Pokemon will have an increased chance of shiny, not every single egg.

Posted by: The Kraken Feb 13 2021, 10:13 AM

Just to make sure, the distribution would be tomorrow, not in ~6 hours from now, right? Cause timezones are confusing.

Posted by: timeerkat Feb 13 2021, 11:54 AM

Ooooooooh!

Posted by: Amberfunk Feb 13 2021, 12:16 PM

Yes, tomorrow.

Posted by: ThunderMoss Feb 13 2021, 10:09 PM

Usual time which is the afternoon in continental US.

Posted by: Eryth Violet Feb 14 2021, 04:15 PM

And Snom officially joins the site! I'm sure everyone will love having this cute bug around.

I'm one of the lucky ones who got a shiny! Genuinely very exciting!! Thank you Nick and our contributors.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Feb 14 2021, 04:17 PM

Oooh yay I got a Snom, mine wasn’t shiny but that’s okay, I’m happy I actually got an egg from the distribution!

Thank you.

Posted by: Amberfunk Feb 14 2021, 04:23 PM

Thanks so much for the distribution! So happy to have gotten what looked like to be the first shiny snom on the site. Soon there will be tons of squishy bug for everyone.

Posted by: timeerkat Feb 14 2021, 05:36 PM

Congrats to those who got an egg from distribution, especially those who got a shiny! No luck for me, but I'm guessing I'll be able to get one from the shelter soon enough.

Posted by: SallyAnn Feb 15 2021, 06:53 AM

My Cleffa + ditto couple are turning out to be lucky, just not for me: 243 children - 4 shinies.

Posted by: Vulpix D Feb 18 2021, 12:21 PM

Think i have most of the prizes already but am participating anyway

up to 45 Mail and guarantee i wont get up to 400 mail

Posted by: Imperial Magala Feb 19 2021, 09:19 PM

Does anyone have a list of the possible prizes?

Posted by: Amberfunk Feb 20 2021, 12:37 PM

List of prizes. Spoilered for those that like the surprise.

Posted by: timeerkat Feb 25 2021, 11:47 AM

Good luck getting loads of heart mail to all in the final day of the event!

Posted by: Zerxer Feb 25 2021, 11:57 PM

The event has now ended! I hope you all had a lot of fun. Thank you all for 12 years.

As a final surprise, every user who logged on at least once during the event has received 5 https://gpx.plus/scratch-cards as well as either an N-Solarizer or an N-Lunarizer! Thank you LightKunai for getting those items, and the corresponding Pokémon, ready in time. If you're lucky, you may also receive one of them in your scratch cards.

Posted by: Eryth Violet Feb 26 2021, 12:00 AM

Whoa! Definitely didn't expect the fused Necrozma forms to be added!

Posted by: AkaruTheYoshi Feb 26 2021, 12:13 AM

Managed to get enough Heart Mail for a Sh. Voucher and a Mew! Took a lot of hatching just for today. but I'd say it was well worth it. I think with the Fused Necrozma forms, now we have just about every Gen 7 mon available.

Posted by: Darky Feb 26 2021, 12:52 AM

Thank you for the event=3 I've collected 200. I was decently active, but bot too overwhelmingly.

Posted by: Ness 64 Feb 26 2021, 01:08 AM

Almost. Apparently we're still missing Ultra Necrozma. Still glad these forms are finally in, though. LightKunai OP

I may be probably the only one who cares about this, but... I'm hoping Ultra Necrozma gets the 650 base stat total like the Mega evos and Complete Zygarde do, since it's Necrozma's super form (it does not count as a Mega, but it effectively works like one in the actual games) and I think its stats would be decent for the Tower/Subway if rebalanced towards a 650 total. Estimates of what it could be like for comparison:

650 BST = 84 HP/Def/SpDef, 144 Atk/SpAtk, 111 Speed (probably taking 1 point off any of these because the total here is 651)
600 BST = 77 HP/Def/SpDef, 133 Atk/SpAtk, 103 Speed

This is assuming it gets rebalanced from the games's total instead of being a stat boost to what's already there like a Mega is, though (which would get complicated in this case because Necrozma can go Ultra from either form). But let's wait and see.

Anyway, I got lucky and got a Solarizer from one of the scratch cards... Except I got that one from the distribution too, so I can't get Dawn Wings yet. I wonder how we'll get the items later, it doesn't seem to be in the prize shop at the moment

Posted by: ThunderMoss Feb 26 2021, 01:49 AM

Cool new forms to explore! But now I need a couple more Lightless Vouchers after I just managed to purchase one and use to fill out the egg dex! Always something new to explore which keeps things fresh.

Now... perhaps next anniversary could be any color other than [Pink]? Hatching madness will swirl in the back corners of my mind for a few days.

Posted by: Jon Snow Feb 26 2021, 08:03 AM

Thank you for the scratch cards! Much needed replenishing of my vitamins!

Posted by: KuzuPekoyama Feb 26 2021, 02:06 PM

Thanks for the event! Managed to get a Shiny Voucher that I'm going to use on a Ditto. <3 Was a lot of fun! Can't wait for the next one!

Posted by: timeerkat Feb 26 2021, 02:28 PM

Was able to do a final push yesterday and got enough mail for a shiny voucher and 40 extra points; haven't decided what I'll use them on just yet.

And thank you for the free item and scratch cards! Got a solarizer from the giveaway. Now to be on the lookout for lightless vouchers and lunarizer.

Posted by: Gym Leader Winona Feb 27 2021, 03:49 PM

Thanks for the fun event guys! I'm so glad to be part of such a wonderful community! Happy anniversary!
