Howdy all! It's June! We're at the half-way point of 2016. Which means we're ever closer to American Football season starting! Yay. What? This is Global PokeDex Plus? Not Global Patriots? Yes! Plus? Okay, we're also closer to the release of Sun and Moon, too. (I hear new info is being released tomorrow, on June 2nd).

Anyhow, Congratulations to Wulfenite, once again, for winning the latest SWSH. Also, congratulations to anyone who completed their shiny hunt.

There is a voucher in your inventory containing your prize, but it is NOT currently useable. We just need a few more days before the prize can go live. (I can't wait for you all to see! It's pretty cool)


This month's Explorations are:

Guardians: (Fairy trio) Azelf, Mesprit, Uxie
Beneath the Frozen Forest: Kyurem
Mansion of the Gods: (Earth, Wind & Sky Trio) Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus
Protecting the Fragile: My Little Keldeo


Thank you to all the trinket makers for answering the call and completing their sets. It's much appreciated. Apologies for not releasing the last batch of trinkets last month. There were a few hiccups related to my health (and I had no glasses for a week and a half). They'll be released sometime this week.

I will also open up submissions for two weeks starting the 17th to accept July-themed trinkets and July-themed trinkets only. Please do not submit any other trinkets during this window.


Now, head on over to Jen's http://forums.gpx.plus/index.php?showtopic=73986for fun, conversation and maybe even strategies to take down the mighty Wulfenites during our next SWSH.

Halfway through the year, eh? Hard to believe. Again.

If I manage to finish DotW this month (which I totally will try to do!), I'll attempt for a shiny Kyurem and maybe Mesprit. I tend to gravitate towards blue shinies.

And yeah, just hold tight for your eventual prizes, folks!

Posted by: Asbel Lhant May 31 2016, 10:59 PM

Awesome, still can't believe it is halfway through the year already, its crazy.

I think I'll do Keldeo and one of the genies, I need to get the final one for its Therian forms.

Posted by: Much Lawlz May 31 2016, 11:00 PM

The two trios sound like what I'll be aiming for

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin May 31 2016, 11:03 PM

Thanks for making the Lake trio one available. I really need to start it and have been waiting awhile for it.

Posted by: H1Z1 May 31 2016, 11:07 PM

I'm glad the prize for this SWSH was a voucher. Sigilyph didn't want to hatch for me at all. It just hatched...

June's here and tomorrow's Colossalcon for us Ohioans.

Also who cares about flateball when we've got NHL/AHL and NBA Finals right now(shameless Cleveland Cavs/Monsters plug is shameless)?

Posted by: Kari ShadowWolf May 31 2016, 11:14 PM

Omg I cant believe its already June @.@ i missed so much May.. and holy cow I forgot my anniversary was yesterday... shoulda spent more of it on here lol. Cannt wait to see all the sun and moon goodies and the new stuff for the month.

Posted by: m190049 May 31 2016, 11:17 PM

Dang, couldn't manage to get a shiny Sigilyph in time. I want my blood totem though, so I think I'll keep looking anyway~

So the prize was the "Artifact Voucher" eh? Sounds interesting, looking forward to it see what it does!

Pretty sure I'm good already on this month's Special Explorations, think I'll try and get through a couple of the other Explorations I haven't gotten through yet.

Ooo nice, return of the sprite trio. Totally forgot about the SWSH for a few days so didn't end up with a shiny this time.

Posted by: Tyranisaur Jun 1 2016, 12:44 AM

If this is the halfway point of the year, what is the end of the year, November 1st?

Posted by: mijzelffan Jun 1 2016, 03:12 AM

June again, I remember june last year is when I started eagerly awaiting the announced new achievements. Maybe in june 2017. :P

Posted by: GBomber Jun 1 2016, 04:46 AM

I tried and failed that exploration with Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit. Maybe I'll give it another try.

Posted by: Luneon Jun 1 2016, 05:12 AM

That sounds like a pretty interesting prize

I think I might attempt the pixie one, since Azelf is one of my favorite legendary pokemon.

I'll be looking forward to the scavenger tasks and the new trinkets

Posted by: Crasyforce Jun 1 2016, 06:07 AM

Im really looking forward for the new trinkets, been collecting chests for the whole month already and it seems I got more time to do so now.

Ill be doing Kyurem and Keldeo once im done with Arceus (if I make it in time)

Posted by: Novibear Jun 2 2016, 05:58 PM

Time sure does fly. I got tricked by a youngster... coincedentally i went to a party as youngster joey. Blue hat, Yellow shirt, blue shorts with a pokeball keychain.

Posted by: Jalakins Jun 3 2016, 03:04 PM

Keldeo egg while I'm on the Keldeo exploration. But hey, shiny maybe?

Posted by: EmpoleonRules Jun 3 2016, 04:36 PM

I love football, but I like basketball better. Although, I really dislike both teams currently in the Finals. But at least the Olympics are around the corner!

I can't wait to see what the voucher is for. Sadly, I had to get it from the prize shop since I didn't get a dang shiny in 335 eggs but oh well.

Posted by: DevilsClap Jun 4 2016, 08:53 AM

I didn't get a shiny this time from the SWSH so I as well had to buy the voucher from the shop

Posted by: DrSnap Jun 14 2016, 11:43 AM

Could we have some news about what was supposed to happen in June ?...

Posted by: Zerxer Jun 15 2016, 12:42 AM

You may now use your Artifact Voucher, if you received one.

If not, keep digging away in the Underground.

Posted by: RicFule Jun 15 2016, 10:49 AM

Does the voucher always give the same item? Or does it give out any of the items for the three new ones?

Posted by: Esc Jun 15 2016, 11:06 AM

Any of the three! I used 3 and got one of each, but I don't think it's guaranteed you get one of each. I think it's random.

Posted by: pumpkinking0192 Jun 15 2016, 12:04 PM

Can confirm. I got two of one, then three of another, before I got even one of the last one. There go all my Prize Points...

Posted by: Mamanator Jun 15 2016, 12:12 PM

Thanks for that update, Zerxer! And thank you, Esc and pumpkinking0192. I think I'll hold off on my vouchers until I finish this current explore and then see what pops up from my 3 vouchers. Hopefully I'll get lucky, but I'm sure some UG work and prize points will need to be utilized in order to get all 3. I can't wait (but guess I'll have to, LOL) to see what comes from the vouchers!

Posted by: KatTheBard Jun 15 2016, 01:05 PM

I love this new cycle of items! These are based off one of my favorite episodes (because when Ancient Jiggly gets mad, the fury of 1,000 heavens rain down upon those who fall asleep).

Posted by: MewJewel Jun 15 2016, 01:36 PM

The result of the ancient voucher wasn't that surprising though I've been wondering when some of the 'unique' pokemon we saw in the anime would appear on the site

Posted by: Kazuchan Jun 15 2016, 03:02 PM

I activated the voucher, it said an urn is going to appear but nothing appeared in my party. o.o Is this an error?

Posted by: PokeNOM NOM NOM Jun 15 2016, 03:40 PM

Try looking in your Inventory, Kazuchan.

Posted by: Sally Ann Jun 15 2016, 04:32 PM

The Artifact pokes look amazing, thanks so much

I hate to ask but is there any update on the trinkets that were supposed to be released in Mid May then got delayed?

It's only 15 days til the July monthly set is available so that'll be a pain in the ass if they don't get released til July for those of us who are new and don't have many monthly trinkets.

Question answered, they are out TY so much!

Posted by: fluffle Jun 17 2016, 12:59 AM

New trinkets out? I just got two Rocket Grunt's Caps from the "Last" group. The only 2 in existence apparently... it's kinda funny to see.

Posted by: KatTheBard Jun 18 2016, 10:45 AM

ooh I'm going to have to start opening Poke Chests again

Also, MewJewel, there are several Novelties from the anime: Valencian Rhyhorn and evolutions; the Clone cycle; Crystal Onix/Steelix; and Pudgy Pidgey and evolutions.

Posted by: Leorobin Jun 22 2016, 11:46 PM

Just got one of the summoning items from the underground, perhaps the rate is better during this month?

I got around a thousand pokechests, so time to open some.

Posted by: MewJewel Jun 23 2016, 05:17 AM

I know that I was saying that it took quite a while fr them to appear on GPX like the pink butterfly, it was available to us in Feb of this year but it appeared in the anime in the very first season way back in the 90's

Posted by: x Sam Jun 23 2016, 08:28 AM

Things aren't added in chronological order - they just get made into novelties when they do.

Posted by: MewJewel Jun 23 2016, 09:58 AM

Makes sense n makes me wonder what pokemon will be next

Posted by: Samhain Jun 28 2016, 09:39 PM

Wish I could do the scavenger hunts for this month, but I haven't been having any luck at all. All the ones that require too high a level, I never bother with. Any that have required it to be a certain type AND nature, I can't do....gods this month for me for the hunts is not going well.
