February 2025 was quite the month for Team [Mr]. We managed to secure Castform into the Mr Shiny Dex with a bounty claimed relatively quickly by @luiofficial, even though we all thought it was going to be a long bounty. We also saw a shiny riolu run from Rizzly, Psycho got a shiny Bagon AND and shiny Beldum, BattleBrown made his dreams come true by ending his dry spell with a shiny Hitmonchan, CoffeeDaily got a shiny Eevee AND a SHINY ALPHA Shroomish, and we saw a lot more rares below. Congrats to everyone who got rares this month, keep up the hard work! Thanks as always to @cloo (clooh) for making this bulletin, and @Servor5555 (Fongus) for helping with the data for it! Team Mr February 2025 OT Shiny Bulletin:

Team [Mr] kicked off 2025 with a serious bang! Shortly after the Xmas event ended, we started our 8th semi-annual team shiny war event - "Team [Mr]'s Shiny War 8.0: A Historical Boss Battle! Awk vs. Flare!". Our team's former leader @FlareBlitzz and myself, the current leader, were the mascots for each of the 2 teams (and we both found wild shiny rares during the war, too). @GingerMatt & @Qiyist were our inspiring team captains, and during that 1 week long war, they each helped rally their teams, and collectively between all of the war participants, we found 97 total shinys that week - that's more than we find for entire individual months sometimes! Lots of amazing shinys this month were caught, some tragic shinys fled, but we all had a great time together. More importantly, on January 17th, 2025, Team [Mr] Celebrated our 10 year anniversary as a shiny-themed team in PokeMMO. This was an excellent way to kick off the year and celebrate the team existing for a decade - thank you to everyone who helped make the beginning of 2025 a blast, and as always, thank you to @Servor5555 (xXFongusXx) & @cloo (clooh) for making the bulletin below. ♥ Team Mr January 2025 OT Shiny Bulletin:

Team [Mr]'s Shiny War 8.0: A Historical Boss Battle! Awk vs. Flare! is officially over! Thank you everyone who participated. The Founder of [Mr], @FlareBlitzz faced off all week vs. Me, the current team Boss. In the end, tradition overcame modernity, and FlareBlitzz took the win at the end of the week. We saw tons of epic shinys, some shiny tragedies, and a LOT of back and forth during this war, and in the end, Flare snatched the victory from Team Awk by getting a last second SECRET shiny Skarmory. It's safe to say that this war will go down in history as one of the most EPIC [Mr] wars ever. This war was a really exciting way to celebrate the team's 10 year anniversary, and we couldn't have asked for a more interesting and intense war. Great job to everyone who participated, and thank you to @GingerMatt and @Qiyist for being amazing team captains! Congrats to Team FlareBlitzz for Winning the War!

Team [Mr]'s Shiny War 8.0: A Historical Boss Battle! Awk vs. Flare! Eighth Edition of the legendary bi-annual [Mr] team shiny war Event (This event is for in-game [Mr] Members only and NOT open to the general public) (Thanks JMmainard for the artwork @JMmainard) With Team [Mr]'s 10 year anniversary rapidly approaching, we are hosting the 8th edition of our legendary bi-annual SHINY WAR event for all of our (in-game) team's shiny hunting members to join. This is a 1 week long, 2-team, group shiny race. Every player wishing to participate can sign up, and their IGN will be noted down and then drafted to 1 of 2 groups/teams on the day that the event starts. Each shiny found during the week long event will gain points for that player's team, and at the end of the week, the team with the most points wins! The winning team will receive the majority of the donation pool, split evenly amongst their members (except for the MVP prizes). Points per shiny will vary, and more points will be awarded to different shinys depending the encounter method (single encounter, safari catch, 3x horde, 5x horde, egg hatch, etc.). We will be hosting a team draft for both of the teams, right before the event starts, to decide who goes on which team. The captains are going to be Qiyist and GingerMatt, and the teams will be Team awkways vs Team FlareBlitzz. This event will occur during the team's 10-year anniversary, and we will have bonus days during the week to spice up the event. You may mail me in-game (IGN: awkways) or via Discord to sign up to participate - again, this event is for in-game Team [Mr] members only. Sign-ups start now (as of this posting)! May the best team win! Point System: 45 Points - Legendary shiny 35 Points - Wild Caught Alpha shiny 20 Points - Egg Hatched Alpha Shiny (30 points during the 18th) 15 Points - Egged shiny (Born from non-shiny parents) 12 Points - Revived Fossil shiny 7 Points - Safari CAUGHT shiny (fled = 0 points) 6 Points - Single Encountered shiny 5 Points - Double Battle Encountered shiny 2 Points - 3x horde shiny 1 Point - 5x horde shiny +1 Point if the Pokemon is also a secret shiny (ex. secret shiny found in a double battle: 6 points) +2 Points if the Pokemon is also new to the [Mr] Team Shiny Pokedex (ex. single encountered shiny Qwilfish: 8 points), *Species List in Discord* Please Note: Any shiny obtained via Mysterious balls (Mysterious Poke Balls, Great Balls, Ultra Balls, Premier Balls, Dusk Balls & Cherish Balls) will not count, and will score 0 points.

If a shiny is found/caught in a region without an active bonus, the region does not rotate. The +2 point bonus goes to whoever finds the shiny first in the active bonus region.

As 2024 comes to a close, we can take a moment to reflect both on the entire month of December, and the whole year of 2024. In 2024, Team [Mr] members found a total of 1490 shinys! We are substantially closer to completing the Shiny Pokedex than we were at this time last year. In the last month of the year, we saw Parke @Parke get 2 shiny Bulbasaurs in the same batch of eggs, Aidenjc @Aidenjc got his 1st rare (a Kecleon), MlTCH @MlTCHclosed out the year with a literal LAST MINUTE rare (Pawniard), SkiddyPoo @SkiddyPoo made a splash into the team with his 1st Mr shinys by failing a safari Poliwag and then redeeming himself by catching a SECRET shiny safari Poliwag the next day, and several other Mr rares as shown below! Also, congrats to HokeyMMO @h0keyMMO for being the Mr who found the most shinys two months in a row. Thank you as always to clooh @cloo & xXFongusXx @Servor5555 for helping to make this bulletin, and all of the bulletins this year! Team Mr December 2024 OT Shiny Bulletin:

I am a bit confused what you are asking here, so I will answer both of the different interpretations of which you might be asking. If you're asking "I have a natured 4x31, how do i make it into a natured 5x31? do I need to consume a 5x31 non-natured shiny?": Then yes, the only way to go from a natured 4x31 shiny to a natured 5x31 shiny (without potentially losing millions of pokeyen to a low IV roll) would be to consume a 5x31 non-natured breeder shiny. In most cases when I see people do this with Metagross, they end up breeding together 2 beldums at a lower stage of the breeding process, for example around the natured 3x31 + non-natured 4x31 stage and praying for the best outcome. If you mean "I have a non-natured 4x31, and I want to add nature (to make a natured 4x31), do I need to use a 5x31 to do that?" Then the answer is no. In that case, all you would need is a natured 3x31 shiny with 3 of the 4 IVs overlapping to get a 4x31 natured. For example: 31 HP --------------- overlaps --------------- 31 HP = 31 HP 31 ATK ------------- overlaps -------------- 31 ATK = 31 ATK 15 sp.def --------- <-braced ----------- 31 sp.def = 31 sp.def 31 Speed ----------- overlaps ----------- 31 speed = 31 speed the nature you want --- everstoned -----> bad nature = the nature you want the child would be 31hp, 31atk, 31sp.def, 31speed + the nature you want

All of the unbraced IVs have a chance to randomly max from the parents. To answer your question here: No, the 2 that randomly max do NOT include the ones that you braced from the parents. So if you brace HP & use the Everstone: HP - (braced, cant be selected to randomly max) ATK - can randomly be selected to max from 31/31. DEF - can randomly be selected to max from 24/27. SP.ATK - can randomly be selected to max from 25/11. SP.DEF - can randomly be selected to max from 31/26. Speed - can randomly be selected to max from 31/31. For example some outcomes could be: - Def can be selected to max at 27 AND Sp.atk can be selected to max at 25 (and the rest average). - Atk can be selected to max at 31 AND speed can be selected to max at 31 (and the rest average). So with the Everstone, with 5 unbraced IVs: 2 (of the 5 unbraced IVs) will randomly be selected to be the best case IVs from the parents. 2/5 unbraced IVs will max. If you didn't use the Everstone, and braced 2 IVs from each parent, leaving 4 unbraced: 2 (of the 4 unbraced IVs) will be randomly selected to be the best case IVs from the parents. 2/4 of unbraced IVs will max. Hope this helps!

Team [Mr]'s Annual Secret Santa Event (v5.0) (This event is for in-game Team [Mr] members only) About the Event: Happy holidays, team Mr! As we have done for the past 4 years, we are going to be hosting a team Secret Santa event for the (in-game) players of team Mr for the 5th year in a row. This event is a little different than normal Secret Santa events, and is also (in a way) a bit like a lottery system. Each member wishing to participate can mail me a gift (or multiple gifts) worth a total value of anywhere from 250k minimum to 3.5m maximum to enter, as long as everything fits in 1 mail. As I receive each gift the mail is assigned a number, and on Christmas Day (December 25th), I will mix up the numbers and re-distribute the gifts accordingly back out to everyone who entered. The more in-game members that participate in this event, the more fun it is. I will list the gifts in the order I receive them on this post as the event progresses, but the sender of the gifts will remain anonymous. You can send any gifts you like (Shinys, Leppas, Vanities, etc.), as long as they all fit in 1 mail. Feel free to check out last year's list of gifts if you're looking for inspiration, but please be thoughtful of your teammates, try to send something that you believe any Mr would be happy to receive. Also please make sure you are only spending within your budget. The event starts now, and the deadline to enter (by submitting a gift) is December 24th, 2024 at 11:59:59 PM EST. **Please remember to keep your gift / entry PRIVATE at least until everyone has their gift, and then feel free to tell each other what you gave / received** How To participate: -To enter, send a gift or multiple (please not just boring cash), worth a total value between $250,000 - $3,500,000, to me (IGN: awkways) via in-game mail with the title "Secret Santa" **Note: All gifts must be able to fit within 1 mail, do not send multiple mails.

November 2024 started off with the PokeMMO Halloween Event, and many players battled the Pumpking for stonks for the first 2 weeks of the month. Even though the event took up about half of the month, we still managed to collectively get 63 shinys, and my lord the quality of those shinys is insane! Qiyist @Qiyist got a Shiny Togetic AND a Shiny Carnivine (OT Dex shiny), Pandarc @pandarc did the same thing I did in October and claimed a Shiny Riolu from a SWARM, Tipsy @TipsyTurvy pulled a Shiny Umbreon from a SWARM, XRDZIIN @xRdZiiiN got both a Shiny Scyther and a Shiny Shroomish, Porkmas @porkmas added Shiny Pansage to the Mr OT Dex, and many more amazing shinys were found. Even though the Halloween Event took up so much time, the team managed to kill it this month. Thank you to @cloo (clooh) for making this bulletin with the help of @Servor5555 (xXFongusXx)! Team Mr November 2024 OT Shiny Bulletin:

October 2024 was an interesting month for the team. With most people still mentally recovering from the Official Shiny War, many others took the month to re-grow their money stacks to prepare for the Halloween event, and it was a bit of a slow month. A lot of people took time off from Shiny Hunting in general, but we still managed to get a whopping 92 shinys total. I randomly found a Shiny Riolu in a SWARM, @Skeletus finally hatched his Shiny Charmander, Fongus (@Servor5555) inched closer to completing his Shiny Unown dex, and many more dreams came true. Below is the bulletin highlighting the good stuff everyone found, as always, thanks to @cloo (clooh) for making this with the help of @Servor5555 (xXFongusXx)!
