    Houndoom's Shiny Hunt (Week 1)

    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]
    Welcome to the Summer Scramble Shiny Hunt: Team Azure vs Team Crimson Edition! For this event you have to catch as many unique shiny Pokémon as you possibly can with your team in-game. There'll be themes for the entire month each running a week.

    This week's theme: Unique

    Rules

    - You may not enter duplicate submissions. That means that if your team already has entered a shiny Eevee, you may not submit a second one.

    -Only Pokémon caught from July 1st to July 7th will count.

    -You must provide a photo of the date and the Pokémon caught. A single photo of the summary is enough.

    Example:
    image (2).jpg

    - It is not allowed to evolve a Pokémon and then submit it. Only caught or hatched Pokémon are allowed.

    -The eligible games are: Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, Black/White, Black 2/White 2, X/Y, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Sun/Moon, Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.

    - The use of emulators are not allowed.

    - It is highly recommended that you make a shiny claim thread in your Team Hub, to prevent multiple people from hunting the same Pokémon. (Waste of time seeing as you can only enter one shiny of each Pokémon)

    -When you submit a new entry, please do so in the same post under a different spoiler, and number the entries. This prevents the thread from becoming too long to scroll through and allows "me" to check the shinies easier.

    Prizes

    1st Place - 50 PP + A catcher encounter of your choice*
    2nd Place - 30 PP
    3rd Place - 10 PP

    *Note: The catcher encounter cannot be a legendary or shiny and it must already exist in the catcher

    Each participant submitting a shiny (Only the first one will count for this) will net you a Scramble Point and added to your team's stash as participation prize!

    If I am understanding this correctly, we submit the pictures directly to this thread, correct? I'm just double checking.

    So I'm assuming the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes are for who's caught the most shinies in the end?

    So I know for tokens, each first submission has to be unique, but what about after when we're just going for the "Most Shinies Caught"? Do dupes count, or does each one we find have to be different?

    The rules clearly state that if you team already have submitted x you may not submit x again so no, dupes are not allowed.

    Someone in your team have already submitted a Sigilyph so I'm afraid yours will not count, please remove it from your post when you have the chance.

    Please remove the second image as only one is needed of the summary as proof of the shiny, adding more than one of the same pokémon will only create clutter and confusion when I start counting up the shinies at the end.

    I still don't really like the flat rule of "no dupes at all". Apart from the Wormhole Shinies, any shiny Pokémon is still a relatively low encounter rate, even with the Shiny Charm/Masuda Method, so people shouldn't be forced to look for an alternative if a Pokémon they really want to find is already taken. (For example, I'm sure lots of people would love to have a Shiny Eevee as in your example.) I feel it would be better if the unique Pokémon was listed per person instead of the whole team (that way someone can't just hatch a ton of shiny Magikarps or nothing but Wormholes.)

    EDIT: Maybe as for proof, we should also provide pics of the Trainer ID to show we're not just trading stuff between games; that would be a big no no.

    There could also be a further token reward instead of just the Participation Award :/:. I know I personally just got my first one and haven't really felt like hunting since, since the only award for anything after only benefits me and no one else on the team. Like my idea in the Arcade thing, where tokens were also awarded when certain numbers were reached (Ex: another token at 5, 10, 20, etc). Wormhole Shinies/Chain Fishing could have a reduction (Perhaps you'd need two to qualify for a token instead of just one; even with the insane odds, it still takes a fair amount of time to get everything), while things like SoS, Masuda, PokeRadar, and Friend Safari would be full tokens.

    Extra scramble points rewards will not happen, that was decided by the admins that only participation points would be given to encourage participation and teamwork rather than competition.

    The no dupes is because of this week's theme and I will not change that, this week's rules are the exact same as last year's SS shiny hunt's and over 100 shinies (half which were caught by a single team) was accumulated between all teams in that month so that rule are not hindering in the slightest when it comes to getting shinies submitted. Things may change doing next one since what you can submit will change each week so of course rules will have to change slightly too to make sure things don't become impossible.

    Hey Hrae, I have a question. Would I be able to use my shinies later in the month for a giveaway?
