[Finished!] The Great Egg Swap IX: The Christmas Egg-stravaganza!

[ForeverKip]

Hosted by [user]Kip[/user] and [user]Forever[/user]

In December 2010, a small bunch of people got together and swapped
Pokémon eggs for a surprise Christmas present and celebrated a new year.
We never looked back.

Join us for our five year anniversary ~

Welcome, one and all, to PokéCommunity's ninth 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 you 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 will end at 11:59PM (EST) on Christmas Eve.
Click here to convert to your local timezone.
A banner will be posted - after that, points will no longer be counted.
The swap is open to all Generation VI 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.​

Certainly did! Though not as a prize or anything. That was our very first Egg Swap back in 2010. Air Pichu just happened to get a shiny Shinx and win the swap. Goes to show you never know what you're going to get at the end ~

Ah cool, I figured that was luck based. It could happen again with how the chance of shinys from eggs works in the new gen; which be fun and nice to see!

I think you're missing a digit in your code...


Is it ok if I use Y instead of AS?


Look forward to swapping with everyone! ^^

Sure ~ So long as you use just one game for the swap, that's fine. ^^

Oh! thanks for pointing this out! I thought the full code was there!

Haha - I missed that too. ~ Updated!

I'm a bit late, but...

Go! Go! Go!

Remember to read the rules carefully before you play.
