THIS IS NOW A GEN 7 EVENT: Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon


Hosted by Kip and HeroLinik

9 years of this and I still haven't swapped enough eggs. GIVE ME MORE!

Welcome, one and all, to PokéCommunity's fourteenth Great Egg Swap!

How Does it Work?

1. Breed ONE egg. It can be absolutely anything you like - the more unusual the better!

2. Register your name here. Use the registration form below to register your name and friendcode. It will appear in the scoreboard and you will be assigned a number. You cannot begin swapping until you've got a number.

3. Get swapping! Swap your egg with someone using the standard trade system, then swap that egg with someone else. Keep swapping with as many people as you can.

4. Report it. Once you have completed your swap, post here using the report form detailing who you swapped with.
1 swap = 1 point each.

The swap is open to all Generation VII games!


You can register all throughout the event, but bear in mind that the sooner you do it the sooner your name gets on the list!

And of course, after it has finished, be sure to post which Pokémon you got!


A Few Rules...

1. Breed ONE egg for this event. Once you have traded that egg, you cannot breed another.

2. Do not switch the egg you receive with any other eggs you happen to have in your game.

3. You may only use one game for the event.

4. DO NOT LET THE EGG HATCH. Trade directly from a box to prevent this from happening.

5. Your swap points will only be counted when both users post to report the swap. If you're unsure on how it works, have a look through last time's thread.

6. Once you have swapped, you may not swap with the same person again until you have both swapped with another person. Try to swap with a variety of people.

7. Avoid trading in circles - it's just the same eggs going around and around. Try waiting for others to come online.

8. Do not deliberately exploit the system to boost your score - (through excluding players, trading pacts, etc.). Anyone caught doing this will be disqualified. If you suspect any player of being in a trading pact or are somehow cheating the system, you can PM the hosts anonymously.

9. NO HACKED EGGS. Do not create an egg that is not legitimately obtainable in the games (e.g. a Mew egg). Anyone caught doing so will be disqualified and referred to a moderator.

Registration Form

Username:

Trainer name:

Armor or Tundra?

Game:

Friendcode:


Report Form

If you're the first to report the swap:

Swapped with: (Number) + (Name)



If you're the second, quote the first post:
(Quote of first report)

Confirmed. Swapped with: (Number) + (Name)

Feel free to post chat along with the report, just make sure the report comes first so we can keep track of your points.

Remember:
If there are not two participant numbers in a confirmation post (1 in the quote, 1 in your post) the points will not count.

I wonder, is there any chance there would be a Gen VII edition of this?

Unless there's more demand for Gen 7, that would be impractical. It would effectively mean we'd have to run two events at once.

Big welcome to Sheep!

To try and give everyone a bit more time to sign up, we've delayed the start of the swap until Saturday at 22.00 UTC, that's 8pm EDT. Check the OP for that time in your local timezone!

Registration Period
Accepting registrations only. Do not start swapping.

As participants slowly trickle in, the competition starts to slowly heat up with it. Everyone pour one out for Fafrir, who has hopped aboard! Only time will tell what eggs they have cooked up for us. There is still a fair amount of time to play with before the swapping starts, so if you haven't done so, get your egg primed and ready!

For all participants, I also recommend turning off autosave for this event. Leaving autosave on can potentially prove disastrous if you accidentally hatch your egg before hatch time and your game has automatically saved over it.

Registration Period
Accepting registrations only. Do not start swapping.

Hey guys

We've had some conversation behind the scenes and we wanted to know if everyone would be happier if we switched this event to Generation VII (i.e. Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon).

We've not had that many sign-ups and we wanted to check if this was due to this being a Gen VIII event or if you needed more time to sign up.

Vote here

Please let us know!

=( oof sadly my high-speed wifi connection is too modern and isn't accepted by the 3DS as it's outdated, so if we do Alolan games I won't be able to participate since my system can't connect to wifi anymore. but if SwSh will still end up being counted on top of gen VII, that would be nice!

While I have no preference, going back to the Gen 7 games to gain more participants is for the best.

With 9 votes for and 1 against, we are switching to Generation 7 for this event.

The swap start in 2.5 hours, so get registering!

Sadly we don't have enough people playing SwSh to swap eggs for a fair competition this time around. Maybe next year with potentially another Gen 8 game we'll have more. If it's any consolation, I don't have my 3DS with me at all so I will also not be able to participate. If you like though, we can swap eggs anyway just for the fun of it!

After our last minute switch, welcome to Fafrir, Chr. Draco and Candy! With Hero, our host, that makes 4 active players! So without further ado...



From now on, all points are counted! Remember, you can still sign up throughout the event!

Remember to read the rules carefully before you play.
Breed and trade only one egg. Don’t substitute the egg you receive for another.
