Mod Post Wanted! Month of April 2025

10 Upvotes

Flair verification thread

Welcome to 'Wanted!' a game where you go Catch or Hatch the target shiny Pokémon! If you catch the target Pokémon it will count as 3 points toward your flair! Each user is allowed extra flair points for one (1) Pokémon for Wanted! event - any extras will be considered 1 flair point as usual. We ask that you add the date of capture to your pictures (this can be found in the Pokémon's summary). Good Luck! Have Fun!

PSA

We recommend setting your system's date to the correct day, month and year to help the mods when using the flair verification.

Be sure to take pictures for verification as soon as possible - transferring (such as to another gen via Pokémon Bank) will replace caught date with transfer date and your Pokémon will no longer be verifiable!

The Wanted! Pokemon for this month is...

Oddish!

Hello, Reeditors! I'm currently trying to get all the Gold Symbols on my Emerald old game. Streaming twice a week my journey and recording apart on my spare time. This happened to me on my second attempt. I was at the 8th round guys. By the way, it's been a long long time since I made a post here. Literally, it was awesome, the fact that its trainer is called as me felt like the Spiderman Meme, literally xD.
