I can wait no longer. I demand the immediate release of raids, by no later than midnight tonight.
Please comment below to send a message to the unjust devs who continue to withhold our God given right to fight the raids today.

Evil devs were the real raid bosses all along.

I understand that staff members may not be located in other regions like SEA to accomodate those specific timezones.
But a probable solution to this is to just stagger the events more evenly, instead of having only 3 timeslots. As you can see, all qualifying catch events from weeks 1 to 8 only had 3 timeslots: 21:00, 01:00, and 04:00 (China time). If we could spread the schedules of catch events more evenly, then it would be fairer for all players around the world. A large playerbase in SEA can only conveniently attend twice (the 21:00 timeslots), unless they sacrifice their sleep while other regions can just do them in the middle of the day.

Is any organizing staff members going to acknowledge the issue with the time zones? At least let us know whether it is a problem that SEA/Australia have most of the events at 3am. Or whether you are okay to cut out this part of the player base from this particular series of event. So far these comments have been straight up ignored and its a bit disheartening.

Thank you to all the beautiful people in the replies, I will go apologize to her now since I hatched this yesterday night while roaming Unova, Apparently my egg hatch animations were straight up turned off, This is a sure sign for me to try and gain her back so our relationship blossoms once and for all, I will be working on my various addictions, Toodles.

riolu can be shiny ✓
GF can't be shiny X

Relationships come and go. Shiny Riolu will only go if you will release it

Hello, I am.
I used to have a girlfriend, 3 years together, very pretty, even shared hobbies and interest, but something devestating has happened lately.
I've gotten very absorbed into the game, To the point that I acted badly to her and ignored her by ghosting or being hostile.
She's broken up with me, Blocked me on all social platforms, and moved to Minnesota of all places, why Minnesota?
My question is, Do I work on my addiction and apologize to her to rekindle our beautiful bond or do I keep egg hunting riolu/lucario? i'm currently 43k dry
Also leveling them up seems to be awfully slow, does anybody have tips for that? I've been using a shiny locked account with 7 badges to level them up to avoid phasing.
Any tips for my egg hunt is greatly appreciated.
Thank you my kind pokemmoers, pokemmo forever!

This mod is cute af! Thanks Efe ❤️

Sparkling Shinies 
This mod makes it so the shinies have a sparkling effect on top of them.
 
Thanks for: @Got2CatchEmAll,@superworldsun and Team Radiance for their help
 
 
Frequently Asked Questions
1.  How do I install the mod?
Drag the .mod file into your data/mods folder in your game directory and enable the mod in Mod Management tab.
2. Why is my Pokemon Sparkling animation is running at a different speed than my other pokemon?
Since some sprites have different frame timings the sparkling animation might run faster/slower than other pokemon.
3. Why is my female pokemon look like its male counterpart
There are inconsistency issues regarding to gender differences so i chose to use male sprites only. I might get back to this later.
4. Can you make X Pokemon's sparkles Y colour?
Please give me your recommendations. The algorithm i have used to determine which colours to use on which pokemon might not find the most suitable colours. If the community asks for a specific pokemon to be some other colour i will update it so.

The Challenge
Intro:
Spoiler
What kickstarted my shiny hunting in PokeMMO was a random shiny Cofagrigus while running through the Unova region, making me realize the potential of shiny hunting in this game with every region available. To not overwhelm myself while giving progressive goals, I wanted to create a shiny challenge that would slowly open up each region for hunting while working towards an overall shiny goal. I created a list to fill out for each region before progressing to the next, and since I started the game in Unova with most of my favorite shinies, it worked out perfectly. As the challenge of getting a full shiny team in each region was pretty daunting and realizing I could get very bored only hording with no incentive to do harder hunts, I gave myself a freebie space to account for any phases and a separate 6th slot to grant free access to an additional region for a rare target shiny.
Fun fact: I got shiny Deerling, my final Unova horde target, 10 hours before Johto was released allowing me to unlock it as my next region, very clutch.
More Rules and Specifications:
Spoiler
Targets should not be phases that you wouldn't hunt for after getting the main target of the spot (see below rules for rare cases)
Spots with multiple rare targets cannot all count for the rare slot, only one should be chosen for that (if same encounter rate) and any other can take a target slot if it is desirable, if multiple are desirable and have different encounter rates, then the rarest one will automatically be chosen for the rare slot (ex. Petalburg Woods has 3 desirable rares, but Shroomish is less rare than Treecko and Slakoth which have the same rates, so I would have to choose Treecko or Slakoth for the rare slots)
Rare targets should be no more than a 10% encounter rate from singling (including all stages) or a 10% chance of finding and catching a safari shiny (ex. a 15% encounter rate and a less than 66.67% success rate is under 10% total), repel trick should be evaluated case by case
While listing targets (in completion + targets tab below) is preferred, other hunts with different targets can be hunted at for the challenge
Lastly, if you have any questions or want more clarification, I can respond and add rules as needed here

Current Hunts:
Spoiler

Isn't this too high in the other direction? Basically makes it a requirement to join at least 6/8 of these which all but eliminates most from the oceania/east asia regions from participating due to the consistantly poor timezone selections for them or anyone that might want to go on a holiday for a couple weeks or weekend workers etc. 600 to me makes way more sense for a number since it means if you can average a 150 score then you only need to participate in 4/8 which is still a commitment but at least respects peoples time.

I think you missunderstand my core issue. Not saying it should necessarily be easy to qualify but the requirements are so heavily biased to certain timezones. It is basically a free pass to qualify for anyone in europe or the americas. Meanwhile it is incredibly difficult for anyone with a life in australia/newzealand/china/etc to actually qualify, take ol mate in the post just above yours for an example of someone who could not hope to qualify with the 800 point requirements in conjunction with his timezone. If you want to compare it to the pvp seasonals, their timings were incredibly varied which allowed people from all timezones to parcipate and qualify for finals if they were good enough.
 
The difficulty would artificially be the same if you just flipped the timezones of some of the weeks. Personally I think commiting to 4 seperate occasions should be more than adequate to qualify for a seasonal event, especially one where the odds of an individual actually winning are astronomically low and entirely luck based.

In celebration of the team being together for our 1st year we are going to be catching the PUREST pokemon. We all start our journeys with a PURE 6x15 pokemon so today we will be looking to catch the pokemon with IVs as close to that as possible. Points scored will be decided by counting every IV FROM 15, for example:     Pokemon 1 is - 12, 15, 15, 15, 15, 17 this pokemon would be 5 points.   Pokemon 2 is 10, 20, 15, 15, 15, 15 this pokemon would be 10 points.   PLEASE CHECK THE EVENT TIME IN DISCORD    In our server up the top where it says 'Team PURE Official' click the event to get the time and date for your timezone.   𝒟𝒶𝓉𝑒: 19/10/2024 𝒯𝒾𝓂𝑒:  12:00PM AEDT (Check our discord to see the event time converted to your country!)
