New Paldean Arrivals
Event Distribution
New Pokémon from the Paldea Region have arrived in Emera Town: The popular Pig-Pokémon, Lechonk, the cute Mouse-Pokémon, Pawmi, and the loyal Dog-Pokémon, Fidough, are now available exclusively in a new Event Distribution! They will become available via Professor Rowan's Lab eventually, but this is your early-bird chance to get your hands on them much earlier. Plus: Every Egg from this distribution has a higher shiny chance than usual!

With this new Event Distribution, a new update has been implemented as well: As you know, the activity point requirement increases with every Event egg you claim. This curve had been very steep in the past - for example your 5th egg required 7-times as many activity points as the 1st egg. With this update, the curve has been relaxed a bit, making this challenge more motivating. The 5th egg, for example, now only requires 3.8-times as many activity points. Enjoy!

Paldea Research
Explore past and future
Greetings, Trainers! Allow me to introduce myself – I am Prof. Sada. With an unquenchable fascination for Pokémon from both the past and the future, I extend to you an invitation: a journey through time unlike any other.
In this new quest, your path will be determined by your affinity for eras – past or future: If the past beckons, you'll immerse yourself in the Path of Nostalgia. For those lured by the allure of the future, the Path of Anticipation awaits. Choose wisely! Your decision will not only determine the outcome of the quest, but also future opportunities.

The quest is all about studying the Pokémon from a certain Professor in town. There's something truly paradoxical about them. ... My point is: Shiny hunting is a distraction in this quest. Take a well-deserved break when you get the chance! The quest has no time-limit, so finish your current hunt and then make sure to help me with my research.

Some more info you might find relevant: The legendary Pokémon you might obtain in this quest can only be traded with trainers who also own their EggDex entries. It's also worth to note that currently they are shiny-locked - though hunting options will become available!

And remember, this is only the beginning. Stay prepared for more research quests arriving in Fall 2023. I hope to see you again soon!

Shaymin is back
... with a few improvements
Shaymin is back in Emera Town and wants to make kind-hearted trainers a very special gift! As every year, you can choose between: A Shaymin egg, a Shaysola egg, a Gracidea Flower, or a Shaymin Plushie. Just like last year, you can actively increase the shiny odds for the next time you claim a Shaymin egg by accepting a bunch of Shaymin Plushies first. The more patience you show, the higher the shiny chance will rise.

The Shaymin Event lasts until September 10th. This is a slightly shorter than usual; however, in return, the chances of finding Shaymin have been increased. We have noticed that the motivation of our players declines after about two weeks - so having a shorter but more rewarding experience should make it more worth your time!

And as always: Sky Gifts are available again as well! You can buy and send three gifts to your friends for a small amount of Pokedollar every day. These gifts contain random items; such as Berries, Gems and Poké Balls. Or, if you're lucky, perhaps even a Pokémon Egg! (QoL Update: You will no longer lose the Pokemon Egg when you have no empty spot in your Party. You will receive a warning instead and be able to claim it later.)

Freeze your chain
Have you ever got bored of your endless Shiny Mega Perfect IV Ditto hunt and want to take a break - but at the same time you don't want to break your chain and restart it later?
