Crimson Core Events
✦ Shiny Wars ✦
Crimson Core is entering the official PokeMMO Shiny Wars as a single team. We need between 25 and 30 members on the roster. Put your name down now and we will register together once the official announcement drops.
We need 25 players minimum to enter. Registration closes once we hit 30.
What is Shiny Wars?
Shiny Wars is an official, recurring PokeMMO seasonal competition that turns shiny hunting from a solo grind into a team sport. Teams of up to 30 players accumulate points by finding shinies throughout the season window. Rarer catches score higher. The team with the most points at the end wins. Crimson Core is entering as one team in the official event.
One Team, One Roster
All CC participants enter together under one team. Every shiny any teammate finds earns the whole team points. We need at least 25 players on the roster to register, with a cap of 30.
Season Window
The official PokeMMO Shiny Wars runs over multiple weeks. The 2024 season ran for two full months. During the event window, PokeMMO also boosts wild shiny rates by +10% for all players.
Tier-Based Scoring
Not all shinies are worth the same. Each species is assigned a rarity tier, and higher tiers score more points per catch. Legendaries carry multipliers on top of their base tier value.
Screenshot Proof
Every catch must be verified with a screenshot posted in the team Discord channel. No screenshot means the points don't count. Staff review and log all verified catches.
Scoring System
Points are awarded per verified shiny catch based on the species' rarity tier. Rarer species belong to higher tiers and score more. Legendary catches carry additional multipliers on top. Nature bonuses may also apply.
