Two teams pit themselves against one another to claim victory of the second ever ShinyDex Skirmish event!
This event has been put together to encourage participation from as many people as possible as we try to complete the Kanto Shiny Dex together, but with a nice element of competition involved!
As usual with Skirmish events, all participants who submit a shiny to the event will receive a special event-exclusive badge!
If you are streaming the event alongside the Ambassadors you can use the scoreboard overlay via this link here: [LINK COMING SOON]
Our ambassadors have been split into 2 teams and will be fighting for your support while they try to get their team to be launched into victory!
This event has tied in nicely with the launch of Fire Red and Leaf Green on the Nintendo Switch. As such we're encouraging 'full odds' hunting in either new odds or old. We are also banning methods / games that go against the spirit of the event because of increased encounter spawn rates.
