🎙️ Player Interviews
This week's interviews are with both teams MVPs
HenrikCrimson Collective - Week 3 MVP
You are top of the leaderboard for Crimson Core Collective as of now, can you tell us how it feels?
Henrik: “Amazing, ngl. Was kinda bummed i didnt apply for Crimson core at first, because i was able to play a whole lot more than i thought. Right now im glad though, cause i reached a point of exhaustion i needed like a 7 day break.. Im slowly regaining my form, and will try to push hard for the last week. Certainly being #1 helps my motivation and eager to keep pushing.”
Out of all the shinies you caught so far, which one is your favorite?
Henrik: “I must say Ralts, which is now a Gallade. This was difficult and a main goal for me. Even though i randomly hatched a Chimcar while breeding 5x31 mons, the Gallade came from real effort, not by chance. Also ive made Gallade perfect nature, and 3x31 - its perfect for me.”
What has been your primary shunting technic so far? (Egging, hordes, fishing, etc)
Henrik: “Definetly hordes, both x3 and x5. I dont think ill reach a point when ill have the patience for single encountering lol..”
Do you have any planned shunts for the next season coming up?
Henrik: “Im not completly sure. I havent done the necessary research yet. On top of my head id say x3 horde Abra or x5 Trapinch. Im also keeping an eye on altering cave, i have about 2k bisharp encounters, so im going for it i guess.”
If you could be any Pokemon, which would you be and why?
Henrik: “Lugia i think, definetly a pokemon with wings. Id love to fly, and i also love legendary pokemon! Lugia is a symbol of nostalgia for me as well”
What was your favorite moment from this week?
Henrik: “Just the experience of being part of a team. This is my first time, and i love how PokeMMO has become a social game for me.”
Anything else you want to say before we wrap up?
Henrik: “Let Crimson core and collective end wars with wetness! Also looking forward to event season. Im really eager to meet some new raid legendaries, as its my favorite activity. I also need to get my yen up! I went from 50 mill yen before wars to now 2 mill yen lol. Mostly breeding shinys (gotta be usable) but also leppas, scharms and so on.”

Winter is gone, and Spring is here, marking the last week of the 2026 Shiny Wars, and with that both teams are pushing to the end, grinding away. I hope we can all have fun this last week and do our best, but no matter where either team ends up on the leaderboard, just remember to be proud and hold our heads up high, because for a new team, we absolutely crushed it, and next year will be even better! Let’s go out this last week with a bang and continue helping each other out and creating memories and friendships!
