Hello Everyone! Happy April Fool's Day! Here at GPX, however, instead of tricks, we have treats!

To celebrate (and to show you that we're an absolute hoot), you will get a special voucher upon logging in, just today.
Hope you guys enjoy whatever it contains! ;D

Congratulations to Azurite for winning this month's SWSH. The prize is an Otherworldly Voucher, with a new UB added to it! Enjoy!

Beneath the Frozen Forest: Kyurem

Protecting the Fragile: Keldeo

Three Singing Chatot: Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres

Summon the Hero: Zekrom, Reshiram



Staff Birthdays: Happy Birthday to Jen on April 13th.



Trinkets: April Trinkets are available this month! Reminder: The first chest opened each day of April will have guaranteed 4 April Trinkets.

Wanna Make Me?! Another novelty from the 'Wanna Make Me?!' design contest is now available! Check the Pokédex to find out what it is, and how to get it!

3DS news:
If you have a Pokemon Bank Subscription between now and Oct 13, 2019, you can get a free Passimian and Oranguru for your Sun/Moon or Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon. Only one set per account. So, pick which game you use carefully!

Please head on over to Jen's https://forums.gpx.plus/index.php?showtopic=75259for fun and laughter.

Happy April everyone!

Note that we're experiencing a bug with the little Pokémon/egg icons being invisible/broken for the new Pokémon available today (this isn't part of some event or anything, just a bug that should get resolved later today).

April is already here, man this year is going by fast. I'm so glad I managed to win the SWSH last month, wasn't really invested due to work but I'm glad I did.

Oooh, a new Ultra Beast? Sounds like fun, can't wait to see what it is.

Posted by: An Elric Brother Mar 31 2019, 11:22 PM

What a day to come back to the game! Wow! I'm excited to see what the egg hatches into!

Posted by: Cytosine Mar 31 2019, 11:22 PM

Thanks for all this stuff and updates! And nice job Azurite team. I couldn't hatch a shiny this month but glad to see we won this month for like the second time ever.

Also if that voucher is based off of what I think it's based off of, that's incredible. And super hilarious.

Where can I find the Ultra Beast voucher? I won the SWSH, but I looked through my inventory multiple times and can't find it. Did it only go to Azurites?

Posted by: pumpkinking0192 Apr 1 2019, 12:03 AM

Minor bug/oversight report: When using my UB voucher, I noticed Blacephalon wasn't on the list, even though it was introduced to the site a couple of months ago.

Posted by: ChibiNinja Apr 1 2019, 12:04 AM

It should be called an 'otherworldly voucher'

Also, I don't really get how looking in the pokedex is supposed to help someone figure out how to get a new novelty, since you can't check any data on things you haven't obtained...

Posted by: Zerxer Apr 1 2019, 12:06 AM

Since it's another novelty from the Wanna Make Me contest, one hint would be to look at the Dex entry for one of DK's favorite Pokémon, since all of the novelties had to be based off of one of those 3.

Posted by: timeerkat Apr 1 2019, 12:18 AM

Ah, ok, thanks!

Posted by: Luneon Apr 1 2019, 03:06 AM

Luckily I still had one of those vouchers in my inventory
Looking forward to seeing its sprite
As for the novelty(ies)... idk if there's more than 1 but one's name reminds me of a certain formerly chart-topping anime 😉

Posted by: Laikari Apr 1 2019, 05:21 AM

Is anyone able to link me the new egg from the voucher? I have a feeling it's the one I designed for the contest. I looked through the Pokedex and saw something akin to what I submitted. If it is, I'm going to be so upset that I wasn't able hatch a shiny >_> I had such a busy month and 259 eggs wasn't enough

Posted by: Manah Apr 1 2019, 05:50 AM

I'm tempted to spend all my prize points on vouchers because I'm sort of shiny hunting Poipole and I don't want to breed. I know that's a bad idea.

Lab, please stop being so full so I can find my Meltan eggs. Please.

Posted by: Gryphaena Apr 1 2019, 05:56 AM

Thank you for the new things, Admins!

What a nice present! :]

Posted by: Ev54 Apr 1 2019, 07:16 AM

Huzzah! Three Singing Chatot means I can finally finish the Kantodex!

Posted by: Melody Malone Apr 1 2019, 01:30 PM

I can never seem to get shinies for the SWSH anymore . Congrats to fellow Azurites who did though! Looks like I'll be doing the bird trio this month and maybe Kyurem. Can't remember how the latter goes.

Posted by: Zerxer Apr 1 2019, 02:31 PM

The SWSH Prize is the Otherworldy Voucher which gives you an UltraBeast, so no need to be upset! The new novelty, which came from the contest, is an evolution of an existing Pokémon that anyone can get.

Posted by: Laikari Apr 2 2019, 12:04 AM

Ohhh!! thanks a lot!

Posted by: Zerxer Apr 3 2019, 04:43 PM

Melmetal is officially available! You'll need 400 Meltan Candy to evolve your Meltan.


Note that there was a 24hr bug on April 1st (no, this was not an April Fools prank) where anyone could evolve their Meltan regardless of how many Meltan Candy they had, even though the Melmetal wasn't even enabled in the Dex yet. I will be letting them keep it and I apologize to everyone else who still has to work towards their full 400 candy. This did of course reset their Meltan Candy back to 0 so they'll be working their way back up as well.

It looks like 37 people were able to take advantage of the bug but only one person realized the mistake and took the time to PM me to let me know about it, so thank you very much to that person for the heads up. I will be giving them a Sh. Legendary Voucher Plus for the good deed. While I won't name drop, they're welcome to.

Happy Easter, everyone!

We can't wait to dive into an abundance of chocolate goodness and absorb it all.
Upon logging in today, you'll find a Chocolate Easter Egg, filled with treats! Enjoy!

But to our surprise, we discovered something else is also very interested in absorption. We should've known all those sweets would attract bugs! Watch out, you might get an unexpected guest in your party upon opening your chocolate egg!

Have a lovely day!

Posted by: RicFule Apr 21 2019, 12:45 AM

Ooo. I found that new egg. Now, to get it hatched. And it's still a Plus day, so it might be able to do that quick-fast-and-in-a-hurry. Especially since I'm about to go to bed, and won't have much time to be on later today either due to work.

We'll see.

Posted by: AregularFrankiefan Apr 21 2019, 12:58 AM

Hooray! What a pleasant surprise; certainly brightened up an otherwise messy evening. Happy Easter, if you celebrate. And if not, happy Day.

I got the Egg as well, only I clearly can't figure out hints very well considering I haven't the faintest clue what it might hatch into. oh wait, lol

Posted by: PokeNOM NOM NOM Apr 21 2019, 05:32 AM

Happy Easter/day, everyone! Hope the weather is as wonderful with you guys as it is over here!

I'm loving the Honey+ with the high multiplier. ^^

Posted by: Cycloneblaze Apr 21 2019, 09:23 AM

Good chocolate, both on GPX and irl

Posted by: Manchee Apr 21 2019, 10:35 AM

Um.... is this egg eating my other eggs? I keep coming back to my party and there are less eggs than the last time I checked.......

Posted by: Mamanator Apr 21 2019, 01:17 PM

Happy Easter Everybody!

Thank you for the chocolate egg. I should've come here before adding in that Scavenger Hunt egg. At least I didn't open the chocolate egg yet so I think I'll wait.

Question. The extra surprise inside... only available if the chocolate egg is opened today? I'm knee deep in that "horrid" explore so I won't have any additional spots in my party. So whatever this new egg does... or doesn't do... will it be available once I have more room in my party or is it only available if we open the chocolate egg today?

It sounds like a lot of fun! I just hate to wind up missing out.

For now, however, I'm off to church. So I'll stop back later today. I hope everyone is having a great Easter and I hope this absorption event offers some hysterical fun.

Enjoy!

Posted by: PokeNOM NOM NOM Apr 21 2019, 01:36 PM

Don't worry, if you open the egg later, it will have the same result. ^^

@Manchee: No, it will not eat your eggs.

Posted by: Esc Apr 21 2019, 01:49 PM

So I'm guessing it's a Buzzwole :?

Thanks for the present ! Happy Easter everyone !

Posted by: Lunar Eclipse Apr 21 2019, 04:14 PM

The weather is indeed freaking awesome. Makes me wish I was younger and still had someone set up egg hunts for me so I could go play outside

Also loving the Honey+ and multiplier. Feels like a very productive GPX day since we tend to make Easter a very relaxed, at home holiday.

Also realized I still have the chocolate egg from last year too. Not sure when I became such an item hoarder, lol.

Posted by: Mamanator Apr 21 2019, 04:53 PM

Thanks so much, PokeNOM NOM NOM. I was hoping that you'd say that, and when I read the comments from the other user I wasn't so sure. I'm looking forward to opening it at a later date then when I'm no so "land locked".
