many of you have been eager for more information about shadow pokémon, so below the cut you’ll find the process of obtaining and purifying shadow pokémon on the site!
obtaining
with the recent return of shadow pokémon, many efforts have been made by the o.p.s. to counter the illegal entrapment and corruption of pokémon. their research has led to the creation of the snag ball, a specialized poké ball that harnesses the power of the snag machine and will steal a pokémon from its trainer. given the nature of these items, the o.p.s. issues them only to trusted fellow members of the organization. snag balls can be purchased from the general store for ¥1500, but only if your character belongs to the o.p.s. you may then request an encounter with a shadow pokémon like you would with any wild encounter, but you should tag your thread title with [SP]. the shadow pokémon generated can be any pokémon, common or rare, and will range between levels 15 and 25—so make sure your team is prepared to battle. you will have to weaken the shadow pokémon first, but the snag ball is guaranteed to work.
members of team snagem and cipher are also eligible for obtaining shadow pokémon. while the source of the shadow pokémon still remains unknown, the black market thrives on the sale of these pokémon. members of team snagem or cipher are able to purchase shadow pokémon from the black market shop, which are randomly generated and range considerably in price.
purifying
once a shadow pokémon is obtained, it can be purified—essentially, a trainer has the ability to open up its heart again. in order to do this, you must have the pokémon for 14 days real-time, post with it in your character’s party at least 20 times, and participate in at least one battle with it. please keep in mind that, until it is purified, it will not gain any levels from battling or posting. while it is in its shadow pokémon state, it will only listen to every other command it is given in battle (meaning it cannot be used on showdown) and will often exhibit very aggressive behavior towards human and other pokémon alike. this process is based off of the honor system, though if a member is caught cheating, any and all shadow pokémon owned by that member will be deleted.
as long as a pokémon is in its shadow state, they cannot be sold or traded to another member—the exception to this rule is if the character is part of team snagem or cipher, who are allowed to trade, sell or give away these pokémon. shadow pokémon can be sold at the pokémon resell shop, but for ¥500 less than their usual price.
once the purification process is complete, the pokémon will become a regular pokémon and will follow the same rules for trading, selling, leveling up, and evolving.
rumors of the return of shadow pokémon have been circulating around the region over the past year. with the issue being so new and having little evidence to fully support it, the ranger association and orre law enforcement has done little to step in and investigate the claims. many fingers point to the work of team snagem or cipher, but whispers of an independent group of thugs working in the region have been made heard. it was initially thought that all snag machines had been destroyed and the technology of the devices had been lost. however, reports of stolen pokémon from trainers and highly aggressive pokémon have been escalating, and a group of citizens have decided to band together and investigate what officials have been avoiding. the group of volunteers call themselves the orre protection society (o.p.s.), and have found little evidence thus far. as their search continues, there is little telling what they will uncover.
hi everyone!! we’re going to kick off our second contest with a content contest! we’re all aching to see what kind of characters you guys have in mind, so what better way to see what you’re all up to than host a contest all about characters?
all you need to do to enter is post some kind of content pertaining to the character(s) you have in mind in the tag, including (but not limited to!!) drabbles, graphics, playlists, moodboards, etc! each post counts as a separate entry, and only posts put in the tag between june 20 and june 28 will count.
a handful of lucky winners will be eligible for an early face reserve, and maybe an even cooler prize will be given away!!! ;)
good luck to all, and remember — tag your posts with #orrerp, or else we won’t see it!
