Christmas is the shiniest season of the year, and it's less than a month away. What better way for Pokemon fans to celebrate than by having a Secret Shiny Santa Swap?
CLICK HERE TO ENTER!
If you'd like to participate, we'll need:
Your Friend Code
Your in-game name
Your "dream" shinies if you have any (up to 6)
The shinies you'd rather not get (up to 6)
Your favourite Pokemon type (up to 3)
Your least favourite Pokemon type (up to 3)
Are you happy for your shiny Pokemon to have a nickname? If you have a specific name, or theme for a name (eg Christmas, Star Wars, Flowers) in mind, we'll need that too.
And your timezone, so we can pair you with someone who is likely to be awake and online at the same time you are!
I will pair people up and PM each person's list (but not the FC) to their partner. That then gives everyone an idea of what to look out for for their partner without revealing who the partners actually are. Let us know when you have caught/hatched the shiny for your partner so we can mark that on the list. Then, on the designated day (a few days before Christmas Day, as people will be busy), we send out the FCs and you guys take it from there. This means that everyone gets to trade the actual shiny.
If the swap hasn't been completed within a couple of days, let us know and "angels" will step in and provide spare swaps. If I haven't heard from you that you have obtained your shiny for the swap, you will be removed from the list. I've done enough swaps like this to know that life happens, people drop out or forget and I don't want someone doing all the work only to find that their partner hasn't bothered. So we'll be needing some "angels" to volunteer.
SV-ed, chain fished, MM-ed shinies are all allowed. You don't get to specify gender, level, egg moves, IVs or anything like that, and if your entire dream list consists of legendaries we might have to re-think your participation. The point of this is not to get a specific shiny, but to get a shiny surprise Christmas present. There are NO GUARANTEES on anyone getting anything from their dream list, but we'll try at least not to give out Pokes on the don't want list. This is meant to be fun, and provide a shiny Pokemon with memories attached of a fun time, not a way for people to fill their shiny want list.
This swap is available to members of TBT and/or USGamers.
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SWAP, CLICK HERE
Sign ups end at midnight your time on 11th December.
We will start sending out the lists on 12th December and then it's time to GET HUNTING!
Deadline for letting us know you've caught/hatched your swap shiny is midnight your time 17th December.
We will send out Friend Codes on 18th December.
Deadline for trade to take place is 20th December.
If your trade has not taken place by 21st December, let us know and we will provide "angel" assistance to get you your Christmas Shiny.
IMPORTANT NOTE: it would be fine for you to try to find/breed a shiny before signing up, if it worries you that you might not find one in time. If you want to do that, PLEASE LET US KNOW SOMEWHERE ON THE FORM what you have (most of it is text boxes, so you can just add a sentence like "I have already found a Gothorita for the swap" after you fill in the relevant details in any of the boxes). The pairings are going to be done by a human being, not a computer, so we can tailor it all to suit.
Incidentally, even if you already have a shiny for the swap, and have let me know, you are not obligated to send that shiny IF you find something more suitable for your partner. Example: you already have a shiny Gastly for the swap, so I match you up with a partner who would really like a shiny Eevee and their favourite type is Dark. You find a shiny Eevee or a Sneasel before the trades happen. You can choose to send either the Eevee or the Sneasel rather than the Gastly if you prefer. Just so long as you let me know, just PM me.
