The Site-Wide Shiny Hunt (often shortened as SWSH) is an event held every every other month, alternating with the Scavenger Hunt. The goal is for users to shiny hunt for specific species of Pokémon during the second half of the month. Successful users will win Prize Points and special items. Users must own the Shine Recorder to participate.

Mechanics[]

The Pokémon featured in the Site-Wide Shiny Hunt are either pre-selected by site admins or voted on by the community. Community voting starts at the beginning of the month, and users are able to vote for 3 Pokémon to hunt. Community voting typically ends a few days before the middle of the month. The 3 Pokémon with the most votes will be chosen as the ones to shiny hunt.

Starting around the middle of the month, after voting ends and a few days before the Shiny Hunt begins, users can begin signing up through their Shine Recorder. When signing up, users will be given a specific, temporary Shiny Hunt slot to sign up for the hunt within the Shine Recorder. If this slot isn't used, participation will not be recognized. This slot does not count against the 4+ already provided in the Shine Recorder and its expansions. Sign-ups will remain open until the end of the month, when the hunt ends.

Any shiny Pokémon hatched during the sign-up period, but before the start of the Shiny Hunt, will not count.

During the Site-Wide Shiny Hunt, if the user is signed up to hunt one of the shiny hunt targets, they will be able to obtain eggs from the Egg Shelter without spending any of their daily shelter grabs, provided they have at least one grab remaining.

An option is provided in the Shine Recorder to either cancel the hunt or continue it as a normal hunt if the user does not obtain a Shiny Pokémon during the allotted period. If continued, it will continue to use the Site-Wide slot; should one of the user's regular Shine Recorder slots be vacated (by completing or cancelling a normal hunt), the Site-Wide Hunt will be moved to a normal slot.

At the end of the event, participants that hatched a shiny Pokémon will earn 45 Prize Points and a special prize such as a Rare Evolution Item or Egg Voucher. Participants that didn't hatch a shiny Pokémon will earn one Prize Point for every 15 eggs hatched, up to a maximum of 30 Prize Points at 450 hatched eggs. In addition, participants that are a member of the Affinity that hatched the most shinies will earn an additional 15 Prize Points, provided they hatched a shiny or hatched at least 50 eggs.

If a user finishes their shiny hunt before the end of the event, they can sign up again to hunt for another shiny Pokémon. However, hatching multiple Shiny Pokémon will not give the users additional points or prizes.

History[]

Initially, any users who hatched a Shiny Pokémon received a special prize; all other Hunt participants received other Rare Items, Enigma Stones, or Nuggets. Prize Points were used as rewards instead of items once they were introduced.

Because they were introduced before the Site-Wide Shiny Hunts were implemented as a regular feature, the first two Hunts had markedly different properties. The Hunts lasted only one week instead of two, and users could not sign up once the race had started. The reward system was also much simpler: the first hunt rewarded a Shiny Voucher for the Pokémon for users that hatched over 150 eggs without winning, while all other non-winners received an Enigma Stone; during the second hunt, users hatching over 150 eggs received an Enigma Stone, while others received a Nugget.

Trivia[]

  • Users who hatched more than 1000 eggs in the March 2011 Site-Wide Shiny Hunt received a Blue Stone as a consolation prize.
  • Due to no new Pokémon being ready to be added to the site, the prize for the March 2022 and May 2022 Site-Wide Shiny Hunts was a Novelty Voucher and one day of Prize+, with the intention that the users could spend their earned Prize Points on any of the previous Site-Wide Shiny Hunt voucher rewards. These are the only times a Plus has been the reward for the Site-Wide Shiny Hunt.
