The VPP Community DCC
A place to relax and talk with your fellow trainers!


Welcome!


Hi everyone! Welcome to the Virtual Pokemon Pet DCC. Here you're free to chat, ask questions, schedule trades, and everything else you'd like to do! You can ask fellow trainers to arrange tag-teams, talk about new VPPs you've gotten, pitch ideas to the staff, and generally hang out! If we get questions that keep popping up regularly, they'll be added to the FAQ in the Guide.

Feels up for a tag team. Makes sense with the upcoming event. Listed Psychic-types as one of your focuses. Could use one for a future Legendary summon. Would you be willing to partner up for a Meowstic?

Edit: Just noticed other changes, such as the new challenges. Added a lot of them. Spotted some other interesting things too, like posting milestones and new ribbons. Missed the boat on the Eeveelution Ribbon. Hard pass on every shiny eeveelution.

Dang there's a lot of new stuff =o
hadn't noticed it yet xD

Anyway, I'm definitely down for a Meowstic tag =3

ReKoil April 15th, 2022 9:40 AM

Just a couple questions for clarification:

Quote:

You cannot use Unown to obtain:
- Legendary Pokémon
Does this just mean you can't use them as a requirement for a legendary, or do they also not count for the 10 VPP's between masters/legendaries?

Quote:

Unown are a unique kind of Pokémon. They only require 25 posts each to complete, however, they come with their own special gimmick: You need to "spell out" a VPP that you would like and put careful consideration into what Pokémon makes the most sense to apply the Unown gimmick to and how it would be most beneficial to you.

Example 1: You want a Ponyta? Ponyta has letters in its name, so we simply multiply the post requirement for an Unown by the number of letters in the Pokémon's name.

25 x 6 = 150.
A non-seasonal Ponyta would be 175 posts, so you’d get a good discount!

But, for other Pokémon, it might not be worth going the Unown route to obtain them:
Example 2: Magikarp. If it’s not seasonal than it will take 175 posts to finish.

25 x 8 = 200
If you try to spell it out with Unown that’s 8 letters meaning 200 posts total to complete. So, that would not be worth it. It would be better to wait until Magikarp is in season or have a Club discount applied.
This reads slightly confusing to me... In order to get Unown, you need to spell out a VPP that you want. Then judging from the examples, you get the VPP you spell out instead of the Unown?
So how do you get the Unown themselves then? 🤔 Or is the spelling out thing separate from obtaining Unown themselves and only for obtaining other mons using the Unown gimmick?
Or do you instead get the Unowns that make up the word of the VPP? Like, Skrelp would get you Unown S, Unown K, Unown R, Unown E, Unown L & Unown P.

Asking mainly because this part reads highly ambiguous to me:

With the addition of the Unown challenge I intend to start grabbing some Unowns after my next legendary =3

Since Unown are easy to get (and due to their gimmick) they can't be used as a requirement for Legendaries. They also don't count as part of the 10 VPPs you need to get between legendaries. Right now, they do count towards your next Master. However, that may be changed at some point. So don't count on it too much.

You can request Unown anytime you want. If you manage to get enough of them to spell out a Pokemon's name you can request that particular Pokemon as a free VPP.
However, you can use every Unown you raised only for one free VPP.

Our Guide is currently still being ironed out, so sorry for all the confusion. ^^"

Duck April 15th, 2022 1:15 PM

I didn't realize we got a new DCC. The artwork there on the OP is lovely.

I'll take a look at the guide later to check on the cool new stuff, but I'd just like to wish everybody luck on the Community Event!

Edit: The guide says legends can be Tag Team but Arceus can't. Is that every Arceus, only Type Arceus or an editing mistake?

This is for all Arceus formes including the regular one. But don't worry: legendaries are one of the things that we're currently still reworking. So this may be subject to change! :)

How does Greenery Day work? Says -10 posts on all Grass-type Pokemon. Does that apply to all Grass-types currently being raised, or Grass-types started on that day only?

(Serves as a good reminder too. Occurs on April 29. Remembered an event during the Easter Community event. Spaced on it until right now.)

Only those that are requested on that day count.

Devalue April 28th, 2022 6:57 AM

Fair. Seemed awkward to adjust everyone's ongoing Grass Pokemon, in terms of stat-tracking.

On that note, does anyone wish to start a Grass-type Tag Team during the event? Prefers Shiftry for one of N's challenges. Would not be opposed to Lotad, Snivy, Serperior, Swadloon, Leavanny, Lilligant, Maractus, Skiddo, Gogoat, Rowlet, Decidueye, or Flapple either.

ReKoil April 28th, 2022 7:55 AM

I'm not sure if Tags count for that event, but I'd be down for a Serperior or Leavanny Tag if you want ^.^
(or any stage of those lines really)

Agrees to Leavanny. Will request one during the event. Qualifies for the seasonal reduction, if nothing else.

Finished one-half of the Leavanny.

sigh

My tag-team partner went MIA so I’m still waiting for enough time to pass until I can post an inactivity clause request and start doing tag-teams again... I miss co-raising Pokémon with everyone! 。゚(。ノωヽ。)゚。

Megan May 2nd, 2022 5:03 AM

StCooler and I are done. Technically, I would wait for Starlight for our special Tag Team. However, I'm not quite sure when she'll be back. So, I may still be able to do a quick one.

Lmao I guarantee you can. And I say that not to imply that Staright won't be back soon, but that you could without a doubt squeeze another VPP in even if she returns in like the next hour. xD

The problem is that Tag Teams also depend on the other user, and they might take a while

I am literally going to sit back and watch you unintentionally accumulate 25 posts over the course of the next hour.

Devalue May 2nd, 2022 8:45 PM

Do you need a Legend Plate (and 3 normal types) for your first Arceus? Noticed the Legend Plate (50% off in May) in the Mart. Indicates needing it in the Arceus Type Creation challenge, but not in the Mart or the Legendaries section.

Also, wow on that "Who Came First?" challenge. Requires two legendaries, sure, but 5000 points? Might be the biggest bang for your buck on there. Considers the Zodiac Challenge fairly strong too.

I'm a little bit upset that I keep rolling shiny on other people's VPP while I myself had the last seven VPPs all be non-shiny. :(

You don't need a plate for regular Arceus. They are only required for the other Types.

Fairy May 4th, 2022 5:58 AM

I remember that happened to me for a period, where like at least 8 VPPs in a row I did rolled shiny. I know it’s not outside of the realm of possibility, I mean even a coin toss can land on heads a theoretical infinite number of times.

But then it’s like, why you gotta not work in my favor when I want you too. ლ(ಠ_ಠ ლ)

ReKoil May 4th, 2022 11:12 AM

Would anyone be interested in Tag Team raising a Castform or Sawsbuck with me?
They now have challenges related to them and they only require 4 VPP's each.

I'd be down for anything I don't yet have though if not.
Anyway I'm available for tags =3

Finally caught up on drawing tamagotchis. Let Ninetales sit for quite a while. May not care much for Vanilluxe. Cannot claim to be a good artist either. (Copies pretty closely.) Still chuckled while making the ice cream cone's.

_____________

Would be interested in a tag-team with someone also. Earns an extra 100 points for starting one today (May 5th, Children's Day). Favors N's challenge Pokemon, especially the seasonals (Shiftry, Ninjask, Gastrodon West, Rhyperior, and Mamoswine). Could be convinced to do other non-seasonal N challenge Pokemon or some unrelated seasonal Pokemon like Yanmega, Skarmory, Flapple, Noivern, Rowlet/Decidueye, Fletchinder, Staraptor, and Hitmontop.

Adorable! Love the effort put into your VPP tamagotchis. :’)

I would 100% be down for a tag-team but I have to wait… something like 20ish more days before I can participate in a new one. (; ̄д ̄)

But yeah we definitely did not skimp on challenges that we thought would be fun and play more into VPP mechanics (like N and his seasonal teams!). We tried to really shake up what challenges were previously seen as and just give the whole thing some more personality. :) And hey! It’s far from the end! We’ve got a whole new gen on the horizon after all!

Fairy May 8th, 2022 8:32 AM

Anyone have any specific challenge or goal you're working towards atm? I'm trying to finally reach 6 Legendaries.. I definitely did not take advantage of my ability to get them early on in my VPP journey, so I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm also slowly creeping my way towards having a Silver Medal in all types but, uhhh, that'll take a bit longer me thinks.

What about y'all?

ReKoil May 8th, 2022 8:37 AM

The Mega-thon challenge is my current focus. I only need to finish Mega Metagross and I'll have the 10 Megas required for finishing it =D
I also intend to do the Castform and Sawsbuck challenges, but I want the Mega-thon done first =3

I also need to raise a couple Electric and Poison types. They are the only types I have no Bronze medals of D=

Devalue May 8th, 2022 9:29 AM

Aims for the N challenges currently. Funds the later goal of ten Mega evolutions.

Probably accumulates enough points without the N challenges, given the new Mega Stone discounts in September and November. Averages maybe 600-650 per Mega Stone. Already bought two. Totals 4800-5200 for the remainder. Drops to 2400-2600 with the discount. Sits on 2035 points without redeeming any medals or challenges. (Sees little point. Declines to use Pokemon on the any six shinies challenge. Detracts from more interesting challenges. Qualifies for maybe Grass, Ice, and Ground Bronze medals. Waits for a more meaningful reward there.)

Duck May 8th, 2022 11:39 AM

I guess I'm working on medals.

I suppose I should start working on the Arceus challenge too.

_confused_piplup_ May 9th, 2022 8:30 AM

Hi people, I m basically new to this section of the forum, but especially I have almost no knowledge of how things work lol. So, I was reading the guide and I noticed that there are challenges and I was a bit unsure on how to apply. Like, I have to say it somewhere or can I just ask for the VPP ( I wanted to do the Ash Sinnoh challenge btw)

You just request a Pokemon you want in the obtain thread. Once we give you your VPP you just post until it reaches level 100. When you're done you request the next one and repeat that until you have gotten enough Pokemon for the challenge.

In order to keep track of your finished VPPs you can/should make a thread in this section.

Also: if there are things in the guide that need to be clearer, then let us know. So we can make it clearer. :)

welcome to the thunder dome, lmao.

But like Megan said, if anything is at all confusing or you're unsure of something, don't hesitate to ask! And there's some wonderful examples in the threads below of how to keep track of your finished VPPs (if you want!), that'll give you an idea of how we generally organize stuff around here. :)

Does anyone wish to start a tag team on the 22nd? Celebrates Ash Ketchum's birthday on that day. Adds an extra 200 points. Agrees to pretty much anything not already owned. Prefers to avoid the N challenge fossil Pokemon, though (Kabutops, Omastar, Cradily, and Armaldo). Plans to complete those as sets.

Well there doesn't seem to be any restrictions as to what the bonus points apply to.

But if you want an Ash challenge mon, how about Krookodile? Or Pignite/Emboar?

I'd fine with either. I guess I'd rather Emboar.
Do you want to post on the Obtain thread first or would rather I did?

Wonderful! Luckily I'm not 100 posts this time, haha. :)

Fairy June 17th, 2022 7:53 AM

And done! :D

Open to another tag-team with anyone available atm. I'm specifically looking for Steel, Dragon, or Electric types -- but honestly, I'm not picky and just looking to help with challenges. n_n;;

Would be up for a third straight Tag Team. Understands if you want to team up with others for variety too. (Waited a day to give others a chance.)

Fulfills Electric and Steel with Togedemaru. Would be fine with Zebstrika, Galvantula, and Alolan Raichu also. (Affords a regional stone easily enough after yesterday.)

Well, I can't in good conscience turn down another tag-team offer! Looks like it'll be you and me again, my friend. I'm sure we'll sync up with other people at some point -- but until then let's keep going! :D

Hm, I'm leaning towards Togedemaru, but wouldn't mind A-Raichu either.. it's like a 70 / 30 for me. You can make the final call if you'd like!

Picks Togedemaru, then. Helps towards legendary summoning requirements. Owns fairly few Steel-types. Costs several between Solgaleo / Dusk Mane Necrozma, Magearna, and Kartana.

I'm available for Tag Team if anyone's interested.

ReKoil July 4th, 2022 2:22 PM

Just wanted to coin a potential Challenge, I just checked the list of Challenges and didn't see one with this focus.
It's a challenge involving Pokemon with royalty in their name.

Royal Pokemon:
Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Seaking, Slowking, Kingdra, Slaking.

Addtional options:
-Vespiquen (likely originates from Queen, though short an E)
-Tsareena (Tsar is likely from tsarina, a Russian female monarch)

Edit 6 July: completely forgot about Kingler!

What ? And Gardevoir isn't in there ? Does this pokémon not look royal enough ?


Just kidding! ^^

There are currently 28 Ribbons available, meaning you can earn up to 5 VPPs! If you have an idea, help us make more!
Some options that came to mind:

-Electric Rodent Ribbon:
Given that there's an Eeveelution Ribbon, why not make one involving the counterpart mascot too?
You'd have to raise:
Pikachu, Raichu (either form or potentially both forms), Pichu, Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, Emolga, Dedenne, Togedemaru, Morpeko (and Pawmi once SV are out)

-The Power of Friendship ribbon:
Raise the evolved form of all Pokemon that evolve via friendship/happiness. This would be a total of 20 Pokemon.
This does include a regional form (Alolan Persian), as well as one legendary (Silvally) though.
For three stage mons where the Friendship evolution is from 1st to 2nd stage, such as Budew to Roselia, I'd personally say either Roselia or Roserade would count.

-Excluded from Evolution / Single Stages Ribbon:
Raise all normal single stage Pokemon (so excluding legendary Pokemon and UB's). Would be roughly 85 Pokemon.
Something to note here, some Pokemon have a regional form that does evolve, but the original doesn't. For example Farfetch'd.
Imo Kanto Farfetch'd would still be a part of this Ribbon, but obviously not the Galarian one.

-Shiny Rainbow Ribbon:
I know there's already 2 Ribbons related to shinies, but I watched some videos on YouTube at some point where people race to be the first to catch a shiny for each color of the rainbow.
Thought it could be a Ribbon in VPP too: a Ribbon for shiny Pokemon with each of the rainbow colors as their dominant/most prominent color. People wouldn't have to obtain their shiny VPP's in rainbow order, but when requesting/submitting for the ribbon they would have to list them in rainbow order.

Using the participation ribbons as a base I slapped them together to make a new ribbon graphic:

(also not saying no btw! but it is something the team will discuss!)

Is available for a new Tag Team with someone. Agrees to most any Pokemon you want to raise. Only requests something not raised before.

Fairy July 13th, 2022 12:21 PM

I am also available for a Tag Team! I'm specifically looking for a Fire type atm, but I would also agree to Electric and Dragon. I have enough points to buy items if anyone wants to tag-team a Mega or GMax too! :)

Would be up for a Tag Team with you. Prefers to propose three options for you to choose from. (Hates to pick a Pokemon you might dislike, even if it does not matter.) How about Ribombee, Drapion, or Typhlosion? Qualifies for the seasonal bonus either way.

Done. Asked for one in the Obtain Your Pokemon thread.

Fairy July 14th, 2022 5:35 PM

Lol perfect, I'm already working on two Typhlosion as we speak.

Anyway, still open for a Tag-Team! And have both a SYLVEON and a MINIOR [YELLOW-CORE] available for trade!

If you haven't yet, make sure you check out our updated (and much better imo) Trading Mechanic!

We've both got the Trade Cable so we can do both trades if you're interested. Do you want to do Sylveon for Torracat and Minior for Yamper?

I am a fool and already forgot the rules lol. One regular/regional trade a week, lol. You down for just the Sylveon for Torracat?

Sure.
We could swap the other two in a week as well if you want =3

I raised these quite a while ago for trading and they've just been sitting there waiting for a new home for so long xD

Haha same. Gosh the Sylveon is so old it's from when M&G's Pokémon raising game merged with VPP! It's technically still considered a [Legacy] Pokémon! But hey, she's all yours~

I'll post my half of the trade in the Obtain thread. Luckily that lil' kitty is gonna earn me some more goodies!

Edit: Oh and if you named the Torracat do let me know as I would like to preserve it!

Well I never named either officially in my stats, but I named them in my head anyway, and iirc I called the Torracat Mittens, since it's a fiery kitty =3
But like said I never actually named it in my stats, so you can just come up with a new name if you want.

Boop! I might help you there- currently interested in one of those Sawsbuck forms if that's ok... and yes I tried to look for a Pokémon you didn't have, as hard as that is... not sure if I got it right to be fair!
I always say I need to get back into VPP and honestly, I do this very much in short bursts followed by... not much. But I've seen some of the new things happening in here and couldn't resist ♥♥♥

Hypeeee! I’m totally up for a tag team with you! And I definitely don’t have a Sawsbuck yet so it’s perfect! Best of all I get to badger you with increasing frequency if you fall behind, he. (屮`∀´)屮
watch I’m gonna be the one who is 100+ posts behind lmao

Which one would you like to raise, dear? I’m honestly open to any of them! Though I do admit I’m partial to the Autumn form cause it’s my fav season and Normal/Ground type. (⑅˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈ )

But please pick whichever one you have your heart set on and we can come up with some cute names!

Edit: oops sry it’s Normal/Ground not Grass my bad!

Autumn? Not a seasonal... so I have to at least point that out. But you know what? If that's ok with you too, why not go for it anyways? I love that form too, we're both born in autumn, and more posts gives you more chances to poke me (I guess). My activity hasn't been that great lately so don't worry about being behind, it's probably gonna be me who's late ;)
