About the event

The month of October becomes DUCKTOBER! 

The aim of this event is simple, come together as a community and try to catch a Shiny Psyduck in every available game throughout October. 

All applicable games will be listed in the Rules, but it's open-to-all event - the more the merrier!

Why only Psyduck?

Let me take you back to Christmas 1999, I got Pokémon Blue for christmas and absolutely loved playing it. I caught my first Psyduck, named it Lucky, and from then on it stayed in my team. Like, the whole way through. I didn't let it evolve, took it to Level 100 and beat the Elite Four with it proudly. I still have that cartridge, and the save file works!! So Lucky lives on as a Hall of Famer 2000. Throughout the years, I continued the theme in various games, right up until Z-A broke my heart. How could they not include it? Anyway, I got over my sulk, had one tattooed on my leg and decided - What if I created an event to bring everyone together as we all try to catch a shiny psyduck in every game possible? Ducktober was born!

I will be streaming the event on Twitch, so feel free to pop in when I am live and share your catches, and get your username featured on screen! I will also have a "Game Dex" of the 16 main games on stream, trying to tick off each one before the end of the month!

Best of luck, may the DUCKS be with you!
