    It's summer! You know what that means!

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


    [PokeCommunity.com] The Great Egg Swap XVI: Swapping in Paradise
    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.​


    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!

    This event will run the entire length of the GT from 12th - 27th August. I am on vacation for a lot of it so update may be slow.

    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 at least one of you have 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).​

    I'd love to do this, but must I really list my friend code? Cause I'd really rather not.

    That's fine, you don't have to share your FC if you don't want to. People can request it if neccesary.

    Also, welcome!

    Awesome! Now I just have to wait for anyone else to join up! 👍

    Edit: And thank you!
     
    I just realised that for anyone only doing things on the forums and not the Discord, they might not know how to approach someone to egg swap. So if you are one of those people, just send me a PM on here asking for an egg and we'll work it out! I REALLY want that high score!
     
    So for the final weekend, I'll be relaxing the rule about trading with other players.

    From now on, only one of you will need to trade with someone else before you can trade again, rather than both.

    Let's keep going until the finish!
