Why not an Easter Event? Currently, PokeMMO has three main seasonal events: Halloween, Christmas, and Lunar New Year. All of them are highly anticipated, bringing new content, challenges, and exclusive items. However, there's a problem: the gap between Lunar New Year and Halloween is too long. It's about seven months without any events, which can demotivate part of the community, causing many players to leave the game inactive. To solve this, an Easter event would be an excellent addition to the game, creating a new point of interest on the calendar and keeping the community engaged for a longer time. The event could take place between April and May, breaking the gap between events for four months and making the game more dynamic throughout the year. How Does Easter Fit into the Pokémon World? Easter has a theme that fits perfectly into the Pokémon universe, and there are several ways to turn it into a fun and unique event: Egg Hunt – An activity where players could explore the game regions in search of mysterious eggs that may contain items (similar to Halloween with the Candies, and Christmas with the presents). Egg and Bunny Related Pokémon – Pokémon like Togepi, Exeggcute, Chansey, Azumarill, and Lopunny fit the theme perfectly and could appear more frequently during the event. Egg Hatching Bonus – During the event, the time to hatch eggs in the Daycare could be reduced, further encouraging players to use the breeding system (just like other events have their bonuses, such as Christmas with the increased shiny chance, and Lunar New Year with the increased money earned from NPCs). Themed Cosmetics – Bunny costumes, mounts, accessories with decorated eggs, particles... There are many possibilities to bring new customization options to the game. Suggestions for Event Mechanics 1. Mysterious Egg Hunt – Eggs hidden across the map, containing rewards like exclusive items. 2. Easter Missions – Special NPCs offer themed challenges, such as battles against bunny-costumed trainers (like the battles against NPCs during the Lunar New Year event, where after defeating all NPCs, you get the event's exclusive cosmetic) or egg collection tasks to deliver to the Easter Bunny in exchange for items (similar to Christmas when we give sweets to Santa for presents). It could also be interesting to search for the Easter Bunny in the regions, and in the end, receive an event-exclusive Alpha Pokémon (similar to how we found Zorua/Zoroark by searching for the "Pumpcat" during the Halloween event). 3. Raids – Like other events, with exclusive Pokémon/Alpha Pokémon only available from Raids. 4. Themed Boss – Just like Pumpking in the Halloween event, there could be a special boss, like a "Guardian Bunny of Eggs" (I got creative with the name, but you get the idea), where players need to defeat it to earn rewards. Is the Event Feasible? Yes! There are three main reasons that make this idea possible: 1. PokeMMO has already added new events in the past The Lunar New Year event was implemented years after the game launched, and the 10th Anniversary event also proves that the staff is open to expanding the event calendar. 2. Other games hold Easter events Games like World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XIV, Pokémon GO, and RuneScape hold seasonal Easter events with similar mechanics, like egg hunts, themed missions, and exclusive rewards. PokeMMO already follows a similar model to other MMOs by offering seasonal events. An Easter event would fit naturally into the game's event cycle. 3. Benefits for the Community and the In-Game Economy Whenever there is an event, the GTL (Global Trade Link) becomes more active, new items move the market, and the number of players online increases. An Easter event would help maintain this activity for a longer period, making the game more dynamic and interesting. Monetization (Option for the Staff) In addition to benefiting the community, the event could also bring monetization opportunities for the staff, without affecting gameplay, such as: Themed Cosmetics in the RP Shop – Bunny costumes, exclusive particles, themed accessories, etc. Conclusion Introducing an Easter event would be a huge benefit for both the community and the staff. It would help maintain player interest during the months without events, bring new mechanics, and add more variety to the game's annual calendar. Moreover, it would be a great opportunity for the staff to test new seasonal event ideas and keep the game fresh and appealing for both veterans and newcomers. If you support this idea, share it with other players an d help bring this suggestion to the staff!!! Best regards, GodXander

Dear PokeMMO Team, My name is MataGod I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the rewards for ranked PvP. For many seasons now, the cosmetic rewards have remained almost the same, with little to no variation or new additions, and they are still untradeable. This significantly reduces the interest and motivation of players who seek more than just competition. The same issue applies to the reward Pokémon. Not only are they constantly repeated, but they are also untradeable, which limits their usefulness in the game and makes them nearly worthless for those who don’t need them. The inability to trade or find alternative uses for them negatively impacts the motivation to keep playing ranked. At this point, I have around six Lucario hats, six snake hats, and many other duplicate items that I cannot do anything with. Many players expected that, over time, the rewards would become more diverse, appealing, and useful within the game’s economy. Adding more cosmetic options, making them tradeable, or introducing new reward mechanics would help revitalize interest in competitive PvP. I hope you take these suggestions into consideration and work on improving the reward system in the future. Sincerely, [MataGod]

Hey Munya, I frequent forums and read every discussion for the past year, and I faintly only remember a thread about a possibility of a tier specific councils. If I remember correctly, I voted yes or reacted in a positive manner for it. I don't recall seeing an open thread for applications for the Tier specific council positions. Even three experienced "experts" for each specific tier could lead into more accurate tiering. This would total in 12 TC members instead of the current 6. This way, the three members could focus on the discussion of the specific tier closely. The voting could still be between the 12 members, but as a singles player myself, I would feel off voting for Jirachi follow me ban in dubs for example. In the current TC, no offense, I don't see how they can do proper tiering in dubs when only one (correct me if I'm wrong) even plays the tier. This goes both ways, I wouldn't feel comfortable dubs player voting on OU related stuff, even though they could claim to "know" the tier. Taking part in discussions and bringing up issues and related calcs is a different thing and is always welcome from any player with any background. Lastly I want to bring up my personal stance on tiering, that I think showdown does it the best. Anyone can vote in favor of ban or not ban, if they meet the requirements in ladder. Sadly, we can't really apply it here, and it has it's obvious flaws too (votes can be coached).

I know this might seem crazy at first but bear with me: It all started when I was going to get some Leppa Berries from my supplier. As usual, I arrived in Slateport city expecting our regular exchange, only to witness something shocking. My supplier was being robbed! in broad daylight! A group of thieves ganged up on him, rendered him helpless and took all he had. The last thing I remember hearing is "Lavaridge Looters" as I ran to the Slateport Police Department's office for help. Out of breath and shaken, I explained the situation to the officers, who listened intently. Their expressions grew serious as they realized this was no singular incident. They showed me a Newspaper report of an incident that happened recently that could be linked together with what I have witnessed: Since I had worked as a detective before, I told them that I could help with finding out what this is really about. This marked the beginning of my investigation working together with the Slateport PD. My plan was to find out where the looters escaped to after their robbery, since they left behind a trail of dropped items and footprints on the path. We carefully followed the trail and it lead to Lavaridge town as expected, we discovered that they seem to have some sort of "Hideout" deep within. The next step was to set up hidden surveillance and collect any evidence we can we and wait for 7 days. Our big breakthrough came as we managed to collect footage of a secret meeting. The video revealed what appeared to be 4 people of power gathered in one place to possibly discuss partnership or other plans. It became clear that the "Lavaridge Looters" were just one part of a larger network of criminals in Hoenn. So we spent the following days carefully dissecting and analyzing the Audio gathered by the footage. This detailed examination allowed us to map out the key players and their roles within the criminal network. "Lavaridge Looters" "Mauville Mafia" "Slateport Smugglers" "Petalburg Pack Pushers" "Rustboro Rascals" All these groups play a role in a bigger cime-scheme, I call it "Big Leppa" which is effectively the biggest Monopoly in Hoenn. By identifying code words and cross-referencing them with known information, we were able to pinpoint the locations of their hideouts and the flow of goods and money. We have meticulously mapped this out on a pinboard. It seems theres a group of powerful individuals from central Hoenn, we'll call them the Mauville Mafia. Their Plan appears to be gaining total control of the Leppa market in Hoenn. They buy large amounts of leppas for a huge discount from smugglers every month, the supply is suspected to come from Unovas most dangerous gang the "Castelia Crips" Anyways the Supply then gets delivered to Petalburg trough the Dewford Canal, where underpaid goons do all the dirty work for the mafia and sell the Leppas to shiny hunters. As if this wasnt bad enough, they clean the dirty money in Rustboro and funnel it back to the Mafias headquarters, paying taxes to no one except to the criminal groups that helped them to make sure they keep helping them. To finally help set an end to this, I provided the Slateport PD with a board full of evidence and the names of the Prime Suspects: If you've had any interactions with an Individual that goes by @CrudMud or @Juanks please contact slateport PD. From here I will leave it up to the Slateport Police Department to dismantle these Criminals, but I have decided to publish my investigation to spread awareness to the people of hoenn, and to open this discussion to them. Dear citizens of Hoenn, you might ask yourselves: Does Big Leppa have more power over Hoenn than the police? Is this the end of Private Leppa retail as we know it? How many people have been affected by this? Whatever the answers may be I can assure you I wont be stepping foot in Hoenn for a while. Thank you for reading.

PokeMMO World Cup 7 Discord Server Staff Host: RealDevilLegend Co-host: MonkeyDMatthew and gbwead Staff: Yjos, Subzi, TheDH, Shadow, Razimove Tournament Schedule 16-24 Teams This may vary depending on the teams so the dates will be edited before starting. Captain Nomination Anyone can apply to become a captain by filling the following template by replacing gbwead with your name and Canada with region in the world you want to represent (a country, a state, a territory, a province, etc.): Warning! I do not want to know if the place in the world you want to represent is a country, a nation, a city, a region, a province, a state, a territory, etc. Any sign up that deviate from the template in any way will be rejected and removed at my discretion. Potential captains will be interrogated by me or another member of the World Cup Staff to get certified. List of captain's obligations: Managing the funds of their team: captains will have to collect funds for their team Selecting a roster for their team: captains will have the final say on who is accepted or rejected from their team Submitting weekly lineups for their team Assisting players scheduling their duels Being active on Discord Campaign & Funding Each team must donate a minimum of 15M to participate. The number of spots are limited based on the number of signed up teams to ensure only the most motivated teams get selected and indirectly maximazing donations. Teams Selection On April 20th, 2025, all teams will send their collected donations to WCVII. Teams must do so before 11:59 AM UTC in order for their donations to be accepted. If more than 30 unique teams sign up, only 24 will be selected. The 22 teams that donated the most will be the selected. Out of the remaining unselected teams, the 8 that donated the most will be split into two qualifiers tournaments (4 easterner teams will compete for one spot & 4 westerner teams will compete for another spot). The teams that do not get selected at all will have their donations returned. The 18 teams that donated the most will be the selected. Out of the remaining unselected teams, the 8 that donated the most will be split into two qualifiers tournaments (4 easterner teams will compete for one spot & 4 westerner teams will compete for another spot). If there are 24 to 29 unique teams that sign up, only 20 will be selected. The teams that do not get selected at all will have their donations returned. If there are 23 or less unique teams that sign up, only 16 will be selected. The 14 teams that donated the most will be selected. Out of the remaining unselected teams, the 8 that donated the most will be split into two qualifier tournaments (4 eastern teams will compete for one spot & 4 western teams will compete for another spot).

This suggestion will likely be ignored like most others, but it would be nice and helpful if the user could choose which notifications should be displayed for simple reasons: - Notifications are annoying - Most of the time they cover parts of the user interface. - They are usually ignored I suggest a tab in the settings menu that allow us to select which notifications can be shown like this: This would give the user the freedom to choose which notifications they can see, allowing each user to have their own configuration based on their preferences. Also, I would like these options to be enabled by default for new users so they can familiarize themselves and disable them if they find them annoying. Perhaps there are absolutely necessary notifications that shouldn't be disabled, such as notifications when the server is going offline for maintenance/updates or when there is an error with a mod. Even Revz, a GM made a mod to get rid of the notifications.

Top 10 Pokemon to get into PvP Seeing the amount of OU games played every month in PokeMMO as well as the influx of new players it seemed weird to me that there aren't that many ressources to get into it. So I thought to make what I can to help people get into the wonderful world of competitive Pokemon, this will be the first of (hopefully) many guides. The content under spoiler balise are the start are mainly economical concern, I would suggest you read it if you're new to the game and don't have that much cash on hand, otherwise you can skip ahead. On "budget" competitive Pokemon On the topic of 30 vs 31 IV On what Pokemon to prioritize You can't take a random 6 pokemon from this guide and call it a day to make it a team, it's also advised that you use Pokemon I don't talk about here in your team. There are a lot of Discord you will find help in, you can also look at tournament or ladder battles in game to see what you might like to use, and what combines with the Pokemon I listed here you want to use the most. Try to breed pokemon that tend to go well together at first, this will give you a good base for multiple teams while you slowly build up your army of competitive Pokemon. Legendaries Not every legendary is created equal but 3 of them have stood the test of time in other formats and there's no reason they shouldnt follow the same development in PokeMMO as their strengths are applicable everywhere. They are expensive so I'm just giving a word of advice here in case you have the cash to invest in them, there are 10 other really good Pokemon below that are more affordable. Heatran The poster-child of hell, the skull-faced demon newly added to PokeMMO, Heatran. What a Pokemon this guy is. Boasting the insane Fire Steel typing with an ability that protects it from fire moves and boost it when it takes one it's immediately obvious that it's really difficult to take down. The story doesn't end here though, as it is one of the most consistent progress maker in the game, you can decide to hit crazy hard with Magma Storm and EarthPower combined with SolarBeam+PowerHerb and/or HP Ice, use Taunt with its previously mentioned signature move to ruin the life of Stall players, use it as a Toxic and Stealth Rock machine, it's even good with a Choice Scarf, you can really do it all. Zapdos Across all formats I ever played, and I played many, this is the Pokemon I have used the most and for good reasons. It's the embodiment of a great Pokemon. Its stats allow it to be either extremely tanking combined with a great defensive type, but also, its movepool and coverage with a staggering 125 base Special Attack makes it one of the nastiest Pokemon to switch into ! It's also one of the prime user of Defog, and a good user of Toxic, two of the best moves in the game, Zapdos really is the Pokemon to materialize all your fantasies. Suicune " For each team there's a Suicune set that beats it ", although it's not completely true, Suicune is a redoubtable monster to face as it circumvents the traditional ways you're supposed to beat a Pokemon using Calm Mind. Being able to choose between a very strong coverage in Ice Beam, the CM war winning machine Roar or the nasty threat of Substitute combined with its Pressure ability Suicune will often find its way to win even the hardest games, and it has been like this for years, so if you want a Pokemon that's able to get you back in almost any game this is one you must consider. The Immortal Ten Those Pokemon should never be outdated, they will always remain good, some might drop to UU but most that do should remain viable in OU. Chansey It is very difficult to not recommend the pink blob, it's as infuriating to play against that it's good, and for a cheap price too ! You only need perfect IVs in HP, Defense and either Special Defense or Speed (Do not bother with speed if you're using Teleport because generally the less speed the better on this one), note that even if you will not EV the 4 at the same time because it's not optimal you can decide to make all those IV 31 to be able to change its spread down the road. Keep in mind that speed is still a good stat on Chansey as 4 EV will let you outrun a paralyzed Heatran, so if Thunder Wave is a move you like on Chansey keep that in mind. Chansey is an extremely cheap and effective Pokemon if it fits your style of play, it can be used in a wide variety of teams and it will probably always be viable so don't shy out and add the beautiful nurse to your PC ! Skarmory Chansey's partner in crime, the Skarmory + pink blob core has been nefarious for two decades and it's still very relevant to this very day. With 140 base stat of Defense to boast it can either invest in its Special Defense in other to increase overall staying power agaisnt a variety of pokemon or go all the way down walling street and stop almost any physical threat from going anywhere near the rest of your team. It will always be an excellent Pokemon with access to Spikes, Defog, decently powerful Brave Bird, instant recovery via roost and moves like Counter, Whirlwind, Toxic or Stealth rock make it really customisable. The metal bird is definitely something you want to look into if it fits your style, and you may not want only one ! Garchomp Garchomp is already at the top of OU while lacking two of its most important assets, Outrage and Swords Dance. I don't think this Pokemon needs further introduction, if you read this you are probably willing to dive into the PvP scene or already familiar with it and you know the sheer amount of highly effective task Garchomp can accomplish. It's an extremely well rounded Pokemon that can be used in almost any team and its future look bright considering it's not at full potential yet, if you're serious about PvP you should definitely invest in a Garchomp or two ... three ... four maybe ? You never have too many Garchomp ! Dragonite Another Dragon friend, another top OU Pokemon that is good despite not having a good Outrage yet. Incredible Hidden Ability in Multiscale, insane stats, crazy movepool, a plethora of sets that can either win you the game from nowhere, or create considerable advantage early on. This is really another Pokemon you can't have too many of, Dragonite will be a staple for the many years to come and it seems that there does not exist a format where it's not excellent, get your hands on a Dragonite or two as soon as possible, especially if you are an offensively minded player, and you will see the game differently from this point onward ! Rotom The first quiet Pokemon of this list, Rotom is not flashy but god it's so good. The pricetag might scare you a little bit but it can recycle itself in all the other forms so there's no way its value will go to zero anytime soon. Rotom-W is a terrifying pivot utility Pokemon in OU and three different Rotom forms are excellent in UU right now ! This little guy has traversed the darkest ages of multiple Pokemon formats without being flashy a single time but adding cohesion to the best teams of many different eras. It is often considered that mastering Pokemon akin to Rotom is alike to mastering the game itself, so if you are burning with passion for this game and want to be the very best you know what to do. Scizor I thought for a long time before adding it to this list, Scizor might be on its last breath at the top of the game. I don't think it's remotely close to being unviable and if it were to drop in UU one day it would be formidable there, but as the game progresses Scizor will fall more and more out of the top of OU. Investing into Scizor is absolutely not a waste of cash, it's definitely a very potent Pokemon, but I don't think it will maintain itself as high as it is now, it will become more of a specialized Pokemon rather than the generally good into everything Pokemon it used to be. That being said the future isn't all grim for Scizor, and it's priority Bullet Punch will still make it a very good Pokemon for years to come, if we ever see fairy type and Megas it's something Scizor will be very happy to see so don't let an old man rambling put you away from it if it's your favorite ! Gliscor Gliscor really is like good wine, as time passes it becomes stronger and stronger, there must be something with this Pokemon that strives in adversity, I simply never seen this one getting power crept, even as it lost a lot of tools in gen 9 it's the format where it's considered to be banned !! I mostly avoided talking about non PokeMMO formats and I won't start babbling too much about it right now, but I wanted to express how good this Pokemon is. I don't think you can find a more future-proof Pokemon, this guy will always be strong. It's already very strong in the PokeMMO OU Format and it's not at full power yet, lacking its full power Knock off, one of its best move ! If you don't see yourself as the most aggressive player of all time, and you like to use Pokemon that can give you the edge in medium to long length games this Pokemon is for you, Tyranitar I wouldn't call Tyranitar flashy but it does big damage, setup a weather condition that's very skillful to use to its fullest and has one of the best toolkit in the game. What is impressive about Tyranitar is that it's often played despite its weather setting ability, in teams that do not attempt at benefiting from it, that's how good its stats and movepool are. Obviously, if you want to pair it with Sand Rush Excadrill they form a very powerful offensive pair, and they are very consistant together at controlling what your opponent tries to do, either via Tyranitar's bulk or Excadrill blistering speed under sandstorm. A lot of the most consistant players of all time are avid Tyranitar users, therefore it's a Pokemon I recommend to be used to play with and against if you want to be one of the best. Ferrothorn Isn't it funny that all the good staples pair together this easily ? Gliscor, Tyranitar and now Ferrothorn, brothers of a consistant and durable game which, while offensive, still makes use of the most powerful aspect of competitive Pokemon battling, passive damages ! And GOD is Ferrothorn a king in that department, Iron Barbs, Spikes, Leech Seeds, Stealth Rock, it has it all for you to use and abuse ! Boasting a very defensive profile it's still not a reactive pokemon, with 94 base attack and incredibly powerful moves like Power Whip and Gyro Ball in its arsenal if you choose to use them this Pokemon also packs a punch. It doesnt have Body Press nor a fully powered Knock Off yet in PokeMMO but it is for sure a force to be reckon with, so for all the same reasons as Tyranitar and Gliscor I suggest you pick one of those bad guys up. Serperior We are back on the flashy Pokemon for the last one, Serperior is an absolutely devastating Pokemon. It becomes more and more stronger as it attacks, it's one of the best Pokemon at generating free turns, using Substitute and Leech seeds to weaken your opponent as you get more health back and you boost yourself if they don't try to act on you, or using Glare to inflict a nasty paralysis condition onto your opponent, ruining their Pokemon for the rest of the game. Serperior like many Pokemon on this list can also use a wide variety of items and moves, making it incredibly good at tailoring itself to beat the metagame, making it a very good choice for players you see themself as being ahead a step or two on their competitor ! Closing Words I hope this quick guide was useful for at least a few people, obviously it's not enough to dive directly into the mist of the competitive scene but I believe it gives a way to choose the direction that best fits oneself, if you're fresh to PvP and you ended up reading this I wish you to love this way to play Pokemon as much as I've been loving it for the past decade and a half. Have a good journey in this new world !
