thanks to @hasty sky's demands, I've added some key pointers to the SFX winners of this week. I'd like to add that if you want, you can @ me or DM me if you want an explanation on why your SFX is a good representation of the theme or why it might've not made the podium. (I oughta prep a bit more since I'm sharing a thread with Pix, these people are ruthless
)
Pory's Hero’s Weekly SFX Awards!!!
I'm done procrastinating
and here I am to tell you that this week's SFX prompt will be…
Air SFX!
think clouds, wind currents, or even things you'd see looking up at the sky laying on some grass! (no smog
)
You have until:

ELUSIVE POKÉDEX WEEK 9 RESULTS
<@&734833821429661816>
So many cuties and great sprites were submitted! It was hard to pick the winner 
Big thank you to the submitters for all the great entries we got to see 
As a reminder, the criterias where a head whose name start with the letter G and a body type with just head and legs.
The winner this time is...:
@clear scarab with her adorable Girafarig/Porygon2!
A big congratulation to all of the participant!
You can see the entries and the comments we had here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JFoavfF11A9VxekXjYH8nTComXmENa6HvVQkjQLnKso/edit?usp=sharing
and here we get to see all the wonderful entries 
Hiya everyone! It's us, @gaunt fulcrum and I!
-# I'm not pinging again 
We are having some issues still... Hmmm let's say that the office is closed for the moment and leave it at that
.
-# The "days since last accident" counter keep getting reset a bit too often
In any case, you know the drill by now, still need to do the report
.
We need as usual, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
This time on the
ELUSIVE POKÉDEX
**The fusion we are looking this time has a name starting with the letter T 🇹 and belongs to the *mineral egg group 🪨🪺 * **
Reminder: the first letter is the same as the head's and the egg group is determined by the body

Attention gamers, it's time for
Spritedoku week 12 results!
in 1st place, @eager umbra : 4.2
@silk laurel: 4.6
@marsh jewel : 3.2
@thorn rapids : 4
@vagrant hawk : 4.1
@clear scarab: 4
@deep rose: 3.8
Favorite Sprite of the week goes to @silk laurel 's Flareon/Sentret,
A fluffy, precious little lad. I'd love him for the fluff alone, but turning the belly ring into a fire shaped marking was such a simple yet creative touch, it easily elevates it to the top of my list.
-# I will defend him with my life.
Also, as a small incentive for Spritedokus, winner gets to request a sprite (surely I won't regret this
)
Head to #1210021946105004052 to participate on the next ones!
link to all sheets: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1R32FpETzeI4mqhVcPr7Eqc0q5b5HlO1Z?usp=sharing
slight edit, but the actual winner is @eager umbra, I've been told there's an issue with the winning sheet (sorry @silk laurel, I'll explain in #1210021946105004052) oops

It's time for the Theme Blitz!
**This week's theme is Hug At Your Own Risk! ⛑️ **
Not sure what the Theme Blitz is? Here's the short of it: Spriters work together to complete all fusions between a selected set of Pokémon before the end of a relatively brief period of time.

You have until the end of Wednesday to get your sprites in the gallery. The results will be posted on Thursday. <@&734833821429661816>
When Sirius—the Dog Star—appears in the sky just before the sun rises, you know that the Dog Days of Summer have begun.
Hot, humid, and frequently uncomfortable, these days span from July to August: bringing sweat, bugs, and thunderstorms to the Northern Hemisphere.
...And this year, they also bring with them a contest!
🐶 The Dog Days of Infinite Fusion 🐶

NOTE:
Many eeveelution designs have very few similarities beyond body shape!
As such, it is often difficult to make a fusion with an eeveelution head appear visually related to another eeveelution head.
Instead, I would suggest making:
- a fusion wherein the body of the fusion is either Eevee or an eeveelution
- an Eevee head-fusion inspired by one of the eeveelutions
- an eeveelution head-fusion inspired by an Eevee
AND/OR, - a fusion which incorporates a unique design aspect, trait, or theme which is specific to the fusion & its inspiration

POKÉMON OF THE WEEK RAFFLE
<@&1270914214646648927> 28 people participated in the Pokémon of the Week raffle last week! The one lucky winner is...
@quartz tendon!
The latest Oddish sprite pory posted to the gallery was this: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/543958354377179176/1271157056941985833/326.43.png?ex=66b650c3&is=66b4ff43&hm=46414df3ff7d17cc7b9fc65b561569911db40c91286aed12125788f869a1e1f3&
The next Pokémon of the week is...
Larvitar!
Its dex number is 246!
To participate in the weekly raffle, simply post a sprite using Larvitar as either the head or the body of the fusion to the #sprite-gallery. In exactly 1 week from now, a winner will be picked randomly and given the POTW Raffle Winner role, and another Pokémon will become the new Pokémon of the Week!

<@&734833821429661816> Quick reminder that today Pokemon: The First Movie will be shown in The Stage (a currently archived VC, that will unarchived for the event) in ~5 hours from this announcement, AKA <t:1723240828:R>
I hope to see you there!
<@&734833821429661816> A little bit of a 2-in-1 announcement here
First off, this is the final reminder & ping I will do for the first movie, the VC is unarchived early and a link for quick-access is available here: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1148785825178460241
Alongside this is the announcement of a Role Icon Mini Contest
We've currently got that feeling like our icons are a bit aged, so what better way to fix that with some brand new ones entirely? 
It's Staff discretion on whether these will actually be used, but that's not the main appeal:
Also, as a special prize, the winner of this contest gets added to that special vote, so trying is worth your while
-# is that even a phrase? 
Role icon contest
You can submit icon for any role, whether it already has a custom one or not
-# the usage of submitted icons or replacement of existing custom icons will be made at the staff discretion
Here are the rules:
- 5 entries max
- Work in 32x32, upscale & submit in 64x64
You can submit until the <t:1723824000:f> by using this form
That's <t:1723824000:R>
Good luck and a big thank you to everyone participating! 





Access Google Forms with a personal Google account or Google Workspace account (for business use).
Per usual, if you have any questions, ask me or @quartz tendon
I went within each general chat at the start of the movie, and let everyone know the movie had began, but did not announce here

But across that time is the time to decide which version it'll be
It's a bit basic, since the poll stuff doesn't work in this specific channel, but
<@&734833821429661816> Please react with ⬛ for Pokemon the Movie Black: Victini & Reshiram
or
⬜ for Pokemon the Movie White: Victini & Zekrom
Which ever has movie reacts by <t:1723586429:R> will be the movie of choice
Imagine not having Nitro
Having to use server emotes (Nitroless behavior) or using something like Vencord (and getting automodded
)
But what if I told you there's a solution for your woes?
Introducing,
Emote/Sticker Contest! 
Rules:
- No collabs (you're fighting for a 2nd vote, no buddies here
) - Emotes must be legible (and comply with the Discord's rules
) - Maximum of 2 entries per person (can be any combo of sticker/emote
) - Files must be named Sticker/Emote by DiscordUsername.png (or .gif if it's a gif, e.g. Clueless by Pory.png
) - Happy reminder that emotes can be uploaded at any size, but Discord recommends 128x128 (it resizes it to 32x32 and has a max size of 256KB) and 320x320 for stickers (max size of 512KB

Hi everyone! This time @gaunt fulcrum and I have a very special request!
Our boss is on sick leave and the replacement asked us to make a report on a shorted notice this time but the problem is...
No matter what we tell them, they keep insisting that we should make a report on a half non-native pokemon for a change, whatever that means. 
So we came up with the idea on searching for a pokemon fusion that is half non-if
.
We need, as always, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
The winner(s) will also receive a special prize!
As they will be able to participate to the second vote for adding a new pokemon line!!
Note: In case of a collab, you can only submit 1 line, so be sure to agree on it together!
-# and it doesn't have to be the one used in the winning fusion 
for this week...
🔴 ELUSIVE POKÉDEX ROAD TO 500K 🔴
There is no pokedex criteria this time!!
*
** The pokemon must be a fusion between a pokemon found in IF and a pokemon eligible to the vote! (in any order)*
- Self fusions aren't eligible
- no grace period this time if you made a sprite before the announcement

- 5 entries max (if you do a collab it count as one for you)
Come join the https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1240773622612889681 thread if you need more infos and get the list of the eligible non-if pokemons!

And so you don't forget as well, here's a message letting you know the movie is <t:1723586402:R>
Of course I'll ping when it is time, but until then, we wait.
<@&734833821429661816> The Stage is open!!! And as decided by your vote, the version we will be going with is
Pokemon the Movie Black: Victini & Reshiram
I hope to see you there, the stream will be up shortly
Your journey so far is something you’ll never forget. You’ve had so many amazing firsts, and now it’s time for one more: It’s time to fuse your first Pokémon for the first time. You know that you’re going to celebrate highs and conquer lows with this partner, so you’re eager to learn all that you can about what your best friend has become. You slide open your Pokédex and…
Huh? No data?
Sounds like it’s time to do some research… 
That’s right, <@&734833821429661816>, it’s time for a brand-new
Pokédex Entry Contest! 
We’re asking you to write the best Pokédex entries that you can! Your entries will be graded on creativity, readability, and correctness. Entries will be sorted into one of four tiers, but only one entry can claim the top tier!
The winner of the contest will claim the snazzy Event Winner role, and their entry will be pinned in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1201260356182483134 as an example for aspiring Pokédex authors. In addition, the winner of this event will be allowed to add their choice of Pokémon to the second voting poll! 
The theme for our second contest is First Starters! All submitted entries must be written for a fusion that includes at least one of the following Pokémon:
Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Squirtle, Wartortle, and/or Blastoise
Rules:
• Limit three entries per person. If you are discovered to have four or more entries, they all will be disqualified.
• The content of the entries must follow the server rules and the rulings set forth in the FAQ section of https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JOqitOP72D-s_es1-F7OzVPUkKJ3tytjfvhptx1KAK8/edit?resourcekey=&gid=114427759#gid=114427759.
• Entries are graded partially on correctness. This includes following grammatical rules, using words according to their definition, spelling words correctly, and ordering sentences with the proper syntax.
• Entries are also graded partially on readability. This includes how easy it is to understand the entry and how fitting the tone of the passage is.
• Entries should use regular text and punctuation. This means no emojis, and no obscure characters like (🙺).
• Your entry cannot and will not be edited once you have submitted it.
• Both US and UK versions of spellings are accepted, but both should not be used in the same entry. Similarly, both the Imperial system and the Metric system are accepted for measurements.
You have <t:1724212740:R> to submit your entries.
Submit your entries here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe7gLTKrSjeVeaaNKfc6q9V3FxZjZfUqFMhbOjF7OBx_RYO-Q/viewform?usp=sf_link
(This is not a submission form for entering your Pokédex entry into the Pokémon Infinite Fusion game! If you want to see your entry in-game, make sure you also submit it via the form linked in Custom Pokedex Entries!)
Good luck, authors! 🫡
If you're entering a Pokédex entry for a contest, submit it with this form!
ALL POKÉDEX ENTRIES MUST FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:
Should be 2 sentences or so.
Between 100 and 220 characters long.
No grammatical/syntactical errors.
Nothing that breaks the PIF Server rules.
Should make sense in-universe. No direct references to other media, etc.
You ...
In case you miss it within the mighty wall.
Don't forget. Winner gets into that second vote ;)

<@&734833821429661816> <@&1174730003129303050> Before giving a hearty congrats to our winner, there is something crucial things I would like to point out for the next tournament (Gen Lock) & Big Boss.
Thanks to the Pokeathelon team, there are now easy ways to validate your team within those 2 formats, and the rules have been update to such match the format you should build them in.
The much more important thing to point out is within these 2 formats, there have been some changes in the language for more clarification, so I HIGHLY encourage re-reviewing the rules again.
With that out of the way...
Congrats to @pliant rose on their win within Simple Singles!!!
I also hope to see you tomorrow for Hoopa and the Clash of Ages

So hey guys! I'm one of the hosts of the ELUSIVE DEX EVENT and since this is a special case and a great opportunity, we're going to extend a bit the deadline!
So the new deadline is <t:1724103014:t>!
Have fun y'all and good luck with your entries!

Howdy, <@&734833821429661816>
You know the drill by now probably, it's Movie Night!
We'll be watching Giratina and the Sky Warrior <t:1724104846:R>
Hope to see you there!
Also heads up, I plan to make Movie Nights a regular thing after the celebration, albeit not as consecutive as this & at earlier times [[ For you, EU.]]
Maybe we'll bring back the Movie Night role (probably not). Probably easier just to use Special Event Pings

POKÉMON OF THE WEEK RAFFLE
<@&1270914214646648927> 13 people participated in the Pokémon of the Week raffle last week! The one lucky winner is...
@frozen mist!
The latest Sandygast sprite atlas3339098 posted to the gallery was this: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/543958354377179176/1275868979134599273/252.459.png?ex=66c77515&is=66c62395&hm=e16dc4671240deef2d6fbcd11cacfaec70946bb18d991552d9c7959b4597c598&
The next Pokémon of the week is...
Pichu!
Its dex number is 172!
To participate in the weekly raffle, simply post a sprite using Pichu as either the head or the body of the fusion to the #sprite-gallery. In exactly 1 week from now, a winner will be picked randomly and given the POTW Raffle Winner role, and another Pokémon will become the new Pokémon of the Week! If you'd like to discuss and brainstorm your POTW sprites, use this thread: #1197974573644255343
Just a head's up for the Concept Art participants!
keep in mind that the concept art will be resized for the judging (since it has to fit in a google sheet
) so small details might not be translated well!
🏆 Custom Pokédex Contest Results! 📇
First of all, all of us Unown would like to give you a big thanks for participating in this writing-focused contest! We had so many excellent submissions!
And now, the results! Entries were placed into tiers based on their quality and correctness. The rubric for grading was as follows:
C-Tier: The entry contained one or more grammar or spelling error, and/or it did not follow the guidelines required for PIF Pokédex submissions.
B-Tier: The entry was free from spelling errors, grammar errors, and rule breaches, but the way it was phrased resulted in one or more elements of the content being unclear.
A-Tier: The entry was free from spelling errors, grammar errors, and rule breaches, and it was clear and easy to read. All A-Tier submissions are looked at as candidates for the winning position.
Only one person can claim the top rank, though. Our winner this time crafted an entry that creatively illustrated the fusion's behaviors while exhibiting an attention to detail and a strong grasp of the rules of grammar.
POKENAME uses its cannons to paint intricate murals across its territory at confounding speeds. It is theorized that POKENAME flexes a complex set of muscles in its back to mix colors and create patterns while firing.
Congratulations, @heavy pebble, you are the winner!
Your entry will be pinned in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1201260356182483134 as an example to aspiring Pokédex authors.
If you entered the contest and would like to see how you placed, page over to the Contest Results tab in https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JOqitOP72D-s_es1-F7OzVPUkKJ3tytjfvhptx1KAK8/edit?gid=436149667#gid=436149667](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JOqitOP72D-s_es1-F7OzVPUkKJ3tytjfvhptx1KAK8/edit?resourcekey=&gid=557446530#gid=557446530) to view the entries!
Once more, a huge thanks to all of our entrants! Good luck and happy writing to everyone as you continue to expand PIF lore!

Wassup <@&734833821429661816>, the stage is up and running, and the 500k vote raffle will be <t:1725307200:R>! See you there!
It's a beautiful day outside.....
Not that you'd know it, never a lot of natural lighting in Mt. Moon. You are working hard to hit it big and get rich quick!! After all, what else does a treasure hunter like yourself dream of?
With your trusty partners Sableye and Carbink, finding those riches just comes naturally! Stardust, Nuggets — regular and Big, and even the occasional lucky find of Star Pieces.
All these glittering goods constantly keep your pockets lined with change to spare, but it's all nothing compared to your penultimate hunt: The hunt for a Comet Shard. Sure there's been no record of any Comet Shards in Kanto, but that's the exact reason you believe one to be here in Mt. Moon — call it a treasure hunter's intuition.
And so forth you continue to hunt, for....
✨ All That Glitters ✨
Rules:
- Animation is not allowed.
- No collabs.
- Maximum of 5 entries per person.
- Entries Must Use Carbink or/and Sableye
- All Pokemon must be within IF.
- All entries must be submitted to the drive in the correct format (see pins).
Submit your entries here:

You've been waiting for this day for weeks!!
It's your tenth birthday, and you know what that means — it's the beginning of your grand journey as a Pokémon Trainer
You rush out of bed, eat some delicious breakfast that your family has so graciously made for you and speed on down to Professor Oak's lab.
Thanks to years of inter-regional conferences and negotiations, young trainers have plenty of options to pick as their first partner. Most recent to join within the Interregional Partner Pact was the Kalos region.
And that's very convenient for you as the Kalos region & it's Pokémon were your top-pick... but you just. Don't. Know. Who. To Pick.
It's a toughie alright, I would even call it a...
Kalos Konflict

Hello everybody! It's @gaunt fulcrum and I as per usual!
So the boss is back. And someone forgot to bring ice cream that week so she's not in a good mood and became very nitpicky.
We need to do a good report so that the mood doesn't go any lower
.
We need as usual, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!

It's time for the Theme Blitz!
**This week's theme is Candlelit Dinner! 🍽️ **
Not sure what the Theme Blitz is? Here's the short of it: Spriters work together to complete all fusions between a selected set of Pokémon before the end of a relatively brief period of time. If you're interested, make sure you come over to https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1197396047434088518 and read the pins. You have until the end of Wednesday to get your sprites in the gallery. The results will be posted on Thursday. <@&1270914214646648927>
Howdy, <@&734833821429661816>!!
Get ready to dazzle and be bedazzled, as it's almost time for the All That Glitters Contest Results!
Y'all went absolutely insane, with a full 196 fusions submitted! Some shone brighter than others, so before we get into that shiny new podium, let's first take a look at some of our....
Staff Spotlights!!
-# It's been a while since our last spotlight, so what better than to put it on stuff that sparkles! ✨
Not every gem is bright and warm. Some can even be downright creepy. The creepiest of all, we found, was Sableye/Goodra by @trim kettle! The crooked neck and creepy smile is perfect for the upcoming spooky season!
From creepy to downright adorable, our hearts absolutely melted at the sight of Carbink/Bulbasaur by @turbid briar! The little fellow captured my heart with its bright eyes and round little face.
A few entries brought us some good laughs, but none quite tickled us as much as Sableye/Carbink by @inland imp! His little body dangling inside gemstone, and yet he's as happy as can be!
With a podium absolutely dominated by Carbink heads, many Sableye fusions fell to the wayside, yet they still stood out among all the gems. @eager umbra's Carvanha/Sableye particularly stood out, with its amazing expression and deadly spear!
Lastly, but certainly not least, with so many of the shiny Carbink heads taking the top spots, some of the bodies didn't quite get to shine. A few caught our eye, but @hushed plaza's Eevee/Carbink especially caught our eye with its sparkly evo stones worked into it! Plus its also incredibly cute 
That's all for our Staff Spotlights this contest! The podium will be announced just shortly, so make sure to stay tuned 👀
It's a beautiful day inside.....
...for a treasure hunter. Seeing the cave floor filled with shiny profits is a sight that you’ll never tire of. There’ve been no Comet Shards yet, so you’re not calling off the haul now. Your partner, Sableye, is using its sharp claws to break down the walls. However, Carbink has gone missing…
You’re reminded of when it was just you and Sableye, before you went all-in on this profession. You’d met Carbink in Kalos, right after a trainer abandoned it within Glittering Cave. If Sableye hadn't stepped in to save Carbink, it surely would have died.
It was thanks to Carbink that you found your love for treasure hunting. Before making your way back to Ambrette Town, Carbink had found your biggest find — __ A Sail Fossil__! Carbink was so proud, so despite the fossil’s value, you chose to keep it. It's a symbol of your relationship with your Pokemon.
That’s the real treasure, for sure.
Time for the All That Glitters podium, it's a big one this time:
🥇 Carbink/Aurorus by @south rune with (54 plus tiebreaker) AKA 55 pts!!
-# ((In Order))
🥈
: Carbink/Torterra by @vocal nexus
: Carbink/Delphoxby @south rune
Both with 54 pts!!
-# ((In Order))
🥉
: Carbink/Pidgeot by @visual skiff
: Carbink/Slowbro by @serene pagoda
:Carbink/Ultra Necrozma by @warm kelp
: Necrozma/Carbink by @vocal nexus
: Carbink/Klinklang by @silk laurel
:Carbink/Lapras by @maiden laurel
: Carbink/Magneton by @vocal nexus
: Carbink/Milotic by @amber quest
All with 53 pts!!
You can view the full results here, including some feedback and notes!

Hey, <@&734833821429661816>, we need your help with something...
We staff and Mime Jrs were gathered in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1234176627718623232 to discuss the reveal of the next Pokémon to be added, when we noticed that among our old posts, some deleted user had left us a cryptic riddle! We're certain that wasn't there before... We're having a hard time figuring out what it means, so maybe you can figure it out! Maybe it'll lead us to something good. Here's the riddle:
A stick in my hand, and a stone in my throat
**High in a tree, **
Red for all to see
Draw me
Then sprite me,
Cherished without a vote
Hey contest participants, @quartz tendon here dropping some fresh rulings for contests, as well as more clear grading criteria! These will be updated as needed, so be sure to check it from time to time!

We'd like to thank you guys for your hard work yesterday! Who could've expected that the mysterious riddle would've lead us to @quartz tendon? You've come up with a lot of interesting theories, so we've taken the liberty of organizing a few of them for you. Hopefully this should help us as we try to solve this mystery. We'll keep checking the restricted channels for interference... https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1234176627718623232/1290045776302571611/riddles_board.png?ex=66fbb100&is=66fa5f80&hm=d35611801ad066668c26290bac6d5a8d04609cc2f40e6be9e73b722ead5bdce1&
Uh, <@&734833821429661816>, you know how I said we would keep checking the restricted channels for interference? Well...
We found that the deleted user had left us another riddle! Since you did so well with the last one, perhaps you can help us again:
Preceding color, I am the first
When morning dawns, I end your thirst
My vivid walls, pitted and bitter
Surround the treasure, juicy glitter
Each divot a pixel, every shine, a sprite
Show the feel the best to win the fight
Yo <@&734833821429661816>,
did you enjoy picking your Pokémon for the Kalos Konflict? The judges did too
Speaking of which, here are the
Judge Spotlights!
Not every fusion has to be a humongous destroyer of worlds to deserve recognition, sometimes a certain detail or creative idea is what makes a sprite look special. There is nothing crazy going on this this this one design or concept wise, but with @tame idol's Poliwag/Froakie, the simpleness itself is what makes this super cute entry stand out so much.
Some fusions are born to be popular, and that's definitely the case for @lapis mason's Delphox/Lurantis, it displays a nice blend between its pose and texturing (the fur especially), and the design is a really good in-between of the two Pokémon.
Some Pokémon get neglected because they're going through mid-stage crisis, but that's definitely not the case for @vocal nexus's Entei/Frogadier, reason being that it's a really slick design, the spriting is top-notch, and it shows that NFE fusions still deserve love, since they often get overlooked.
Not everyone vibes with the Chespin line, but @lethal siren's Chespin/Mawile is definitely a sprite to make you reconsider that. Besides being an LC in a contest, the Mawile mouth is masterfully done in this silly little fusion!
And that being said, picking Quilladin was an even bolder move (certified lose, if you ask me
). That being said, they do have their merit, as shown by @placid sorrel's Mr. Mime/Quilladin, it's sad to be a Quilladin fusion, but it still showed up to grace us with its presence 
Those are the results for the spotlights! Stay tuned for the results 
Alright, you finally made up your mind.
-# about damn time 
You've pondering this pick for a while, and Professor Sycamore is about ready to just send you home for your indecisiveness.
But, as you approach the table and are given your options again, you decide you could never live with a Quilladin, thus you skip the Chespin. Moving onwards, you've never cared much for amphibians, and you're not about to change that now, so you pass over Froakie, and concede to your one true pick: Fennekin!
You even have some picks lined up for what you want to fuse with it, and you show it to the professor, who in turn, gives you...
...the Kalos Konflict podium!
🥇 Corsola/Delphox by @serene pagoda, with 108 points and 2 11's, netting it the tiebreak point for 109 points!
-# ((In Order))
🥈
: Delphox/Golisopod by @reef yacht with 108 points!

POKÉMON OF THE WEEK RAFFLE
<@&1270914214646648927> 18 people participated in the Pokémon of the Week raffle last week! The one lucky winner is...
@signal arch!
The latest Salamence sprite coilcreachure posted to the gallery was this: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/543958354377179176/1287557504741544078/22.336.png?ex=66f1fade&is=66f0a95e&hm=6265001a56dd67b78cc0a1ad372e4b3dfd96dca87809cc50cb419ffd11928b69&
The next Pokémon of the week is...
Quilava!
Its dex number is 156!
To participate in the weekly raffle, simply post a sprite using Quilava as either the head or the body of the fusion to the #sprite-gallery. In exactly 1 week from now, a winner will be picked randomly and given the POTW Raffle Winner role, and another Pokémon will become the new Pokémon of the Week! If you'd like to discuss and brainstorm your POTW sprites, use this thread: #1197974573644255343
A third riddle!? What trickery is this? We've contacted Discord to see if this is some kind of glitch, but in the meantime, <@&734833821429661816>, maybe you can figure this out:
My progeny atop my back
Carried through, myself as snack
With age I blush,
Though small, I’m lush
In milk and cream
A flavor dream
With trine and trine, array the nine
Meet the challenge to truly shine
smh those riddles are making me hungry
ATTENTION SPRITERS
<@&1270914214646648927>
The concept art week for Concept Craze is over. I will list the Concept art in #1279489583393800256 .If you wish to claim anything, please react with an emoji.
You have until next week (same time) to submit your sprite to the gallery. Also be sure to credit the concept artists and put "Concept Craze week _" in your sprite gallery post.
Have fun 
Also, for artists who are both concept artists and spriters, you cannot claim your own concept art, you are free to claim other concept art if you want! Here's the drive link so you can check out the concept art: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tfxjkZUhn6dnmTFOyCeyTlK3OqquqUNs?usp=drive_link
This is getting pretty spooky, <@&734833821429661816>... Not only is there a fourth riddle, but Discord says that the riddles don't show up on their end! Perhaps if you keep solving these, we'll get our answer. Here:
Furred cannonball from way up high
Struck by ivory flesh, and you could die
Deep in my case, you can find life
Survivor’s bliss in a land of strife
To find such liquid, pay close attention
You get two hints to solve the tension
Sprite and write,
Spread comprehension
Well, <@&734833821429661816>, one of our staff members has a friend of a friend that doesn't mind doing a little research to see where these posts are coming from. While we wait on this investigation, we need you to solve yet another of these riddles:
Poppy flesh with charcoal spots
Or orange flesh with green-stripe rim
The options for this kind are lots
Green within with craggy trim
One thing agreed:
Such girth can feed
Just like above, the world is varied
Compete in many, or just one if harried
It's time for the Theme Blitz!
**This week's theme is Many Faces! 👥 **
Not sure what the Theme Blitz is? Here's the short of it: Spriters work together to complete all fusions between a selected set of Pokémon before the end of a relatively brief period of time.

Hopefully @quartz tendon isn't rushing into anywhere dangerous. We've got the name of the deleted user: Their real username is anubistheory! However, according to Discord, that account was deleted years ago...
You need to solve the riddle! Hurry, <@&734833821429661816>! Pory could be in danger!
Not a firearm, not a telephone
Where I live, I don’t dwell alone
Age will come for us all
Blackened spots we can’t forestall
My only wish is to be completed with the rest
To unite all seven is the true test

So it turns out the boss wanted ice cream more than normal because she’s stressed out: her niece is coming to stay with her for a few weeks (in a couple of weeks!), and boss has no idea how to host a 9-year old girl that asks an endless amount of questions about everything around her.
Apparently her niece is (currently) wanting to be an entomologist when she's older, she’s already exhaustively studied all the Bug Pokémon where she lives. (She’s probably bringing some of the subjects she’s been collecting with her!)
She apparently told her niece about a very unique Grass Pokémon recently discovered in our region that LOOKS like a Bug Pokémon, and her niece went absolutely wild for it.
Now we want to get as many Pokémon reports done that can fulfill the most recent obsession for the boss's niece, and hopefully we can keep the young girl occupied and out of the boss's hair for a while.
We need as usual, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
This time in the
ELUSIVE POKÉDEX
**The fusion we are looking this time has the primary type BUG 🪲 and the secondary type GRASS 🌱 **
Reminder: the primary type is determined by the head and the secondary type by the body
Check out the thread for more infos !
-# there's a chart and lists of the eligible fusions
The deadline is for <t:1728502200:F>!
You can submit entries here
And view submitted entries, including past events, here
Well, that was strange. What a silly trick they played on us, but at least it ended with a sweet surprise!
Wait a minute... Trick... Treat...
Oh yeah, I knew I was forgetting something!
<@&734833821429661816>
Welcome to Spritober!
A prompt-based event inspired by similar art challenges, such as Inktober and our very own Mergemay! Each day throughout October will have a theme, and the goal is to create a sprite each day inspired by that theme, filling out your chart as you go!
Each week, we'll be dropping new prompts for people to work on, all of them submitted by you last year! Feel free to work on previous or future prompts, but please do not post them until their respective day! (or after)
Participation is easy. Simply create your sprite inspired by that day's prompt, then post it to #1050404143807873157 and later, #sprite-gallery, with Spritober + that day and prompt in the post!
You may also notice some extra prompt(s) at the bottom. These are Alt Prompts! If you're struggling with inspiration for a particular prompt, simply swap it out for an alt prompt! You can only use each one once, so use them wisely! A new one will drop every week alongside that week's prompts.
You can find the beautiful charts below, created by the wonderful @maiden laurel and @serene pagoda, with week 1's prompts filled out already. Additionally, there's alternative color options Here! that will be updated every week!
In addition, we've got something a bit special this time around...
Trick or Treat!
You may have noticed we've got some brand new Pokemon joining us in Infinite Fusion. To celebrate our new friends, we'll be challenging spriters with an *optional *bonus:
Complete Spritober using ONLY Pumpkaboo or Swirlix line fusions!
Below you'll find a pair of themed charts for Team Trick and Team Treat. Whichever line achieves the most sprites by Halloween has a little surprise in store for them! What's more, we'll be having a few other bonuses you might be able to unlock along the way 👀
*Good luck to all spriters, and happy spriting! Hope to see yall in #1289760237804589057! *

Yo <@&734833821429661816>,
did you enjoy catching your bugs? The judges rated them on a scale from 🦘 to
! Here are the
Judge Spotlights!
Some bugs just ooze personality. That's definitely the case for @glossy charm's Mareanie/Fomantis! It's difficult to put that much expression into such a small sprite, but this little bean has so much character in its pose and expression that it stood out :з
As many spriters can now attest to, Golisopod is not a particularly easy Pokemon to work with, especially as the head of a fusion, but @prisma sentinel's Golisopod/Meloetta-Aria proves that its definitely doable! From the really creative use of SFX and palette to the overall design, this sprite is a really creative display of a few of the many things Golisopod can contribute as head of a fusion!
Some sprites manage to balance out being busy with clever designs, and that's definitely the case for @eager umbra's Klefki/Lurantis, for being able to have a complicated/detailed design and yet still look so clean,the idea of turning the arms into swiss army knives is really neat, and the fact that they're both unique and not just the same one copied/pasted definitely adds to it!
Brainrot award
uughhhhh leg fish
(beautiful closing words from a judge directed at @woeful inlet's honse)
Sometimes, fusions are too cute to pass up, as is the case for @oblique marsh's Shinx/Fomantis! It's so cute, and a great example of a clean small boi splice. The small bois deserve love and attention!
Those are the results for the spotlights! Stay tuned for the results 
⏰‼️‼️
You hear the alarm go off on the judges' stand, and you watch as, one by one, every contestant presents their bugs to be judged.
Although you're confident about your bug buddies, you can't help but wonder about the other bugs there, and wonder if your bug has what it takes.
Even so, you still walk up to the judges' stand, you notice that your palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, but you manage to give them the Pokeballs for your entries.
As you turn around, you hear being declared over the PA system...

You finally made your way down to the Arena,

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're so sorry to inform you that our planned contestants will not be able to participate in this edition of the Reptile Rumble, our sincerest apologies!"
The crowd roars with disapproval until one trainer stands up and proclaims, "I will take anyone on right now for the Reptile Rumble!"

anyway
Hi everybody! it's @hasty sky, @tawdry turtle and I again!
We finally met our boss’s niece! She’s super adorable and curious about everything. Almost immediately upon arriving, she began talking about traveling all the way from Kalos where she lives, and showing us all the bugs we could see and telling us all about them!
We started talking about that new Grass Pokémon, and how it basically wears a costume to look like a Bug Pokémon, and then she launched into detail about the Gourgeist Festival back in her home region, which involves dressing up at the end of the month and traveling around for candy and snacks.
Since we don’t have the Festival here, though, we offered to decorate the office and invite our neighbors over at the end of the month for free snacks and candy anyway!
For that, we will need some inspiration as well as a fitting pokemon to present in the report!
We are asking for you to help us with a picture and a description of a fusion!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
This week in the
ELUSIVE POKÉDEX
**The fusion we are looking this time has the *primary type GHOST 👻 * and has a 9 as the second digit from the right of the body pokedex number ❔9️⃣❔ **

Evening folks!
This lil paragraph here you're reading would normally hold the story and theming for our contest. But not this time, no.
Today is a blast to the past, and to truly honor that, I'll use the formatting of the past as well (mostly
)
Thought I would have more to say here, so I called this a paragraph, but it's really just two sentences....now three, paragraph achieved 
But with this forth (and fourth
) sentence and edit, I think tomorrow would be a better day. See you then 
With this fifth sentence, I ask you to enjoy the beta please.... don't take too long 
The Theme Blitz has updated!
Thank you all for your constant support, <@&1270914214646648927>. Thanks to your continued efforts, the Theme Blitz charts have had the room to grow to include eight featured Pokémon, a minimum of 24 empty spaces, and two Pokémon from the same evolution line! However, that's not all that's new. I'll be explaining the updates to my event in detail in #1197396047434088518.
Again, thank you all for your support!

Double Trouble 4: Middle Child Syndrome
Welcome to the fourth instalment of the Double Trouble series, this time around we'll be doing it oppa awesome style
In this one, you will need to group up with another Spriter and create a fusion from one of the listed Pokémon.
For those unfamiliar with Double Trouble ((which is going to be most of you probably)), we have a sheet that sorta acts as a hub to help us stay informed.
When deciding with someone to collab with for an entry, you gotta put in a team name, and mark down you and your partner in the the corrosponding columns. You'll also use as the name on your sprites (ex: #.# by Example Gaming.png)
You don't have to all your entries with the same person, but each person you do collab with would be a different team.
There's also a column to help those looking for people to collab with find others to collab with. All you gotta do is put your name there.
The Sheet of Information
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1C7ZpImsjSb3BQhqE6_Z9YgNQUjfh-zP5PDdvEikAPEc/edit?usp=sharing
With that out of the way, here's the rules:
The Pokémon you must use as atleast the head or the body of the fusion are:
Hakamo-o, Quilladin, Frogadier, Braixen, Lombre
You MUST collab with another spriter to enter.
You CANNOT use any old sprites.
You may enter up to 5 times.

Yo <@&734833821429661816>,
did you enjoy picking your Pokémon for the Reptile Rumble? Get ready for a fight in #event-general about these picks! Anyways, here are the...
...Judge Spotlights!
Not every cool fusion uses the coolest Pokémon, as proven by @wooden parrot's Muk/Torkoal, this thing has an incredible custom smoke palette that pairs amazingly with the dull dark colors of the back shell and purple goop. I adore the vision at play here.
Some sprites make dithering work really well (much to Blaquaza's dismay , and one the best examples of this was @glossy charm's Necrozma/Torkoal! While it is rather unconventional for the typical Pokémon sprite, the dithering and colors that were applied to this sprite look fascinating. The very simple blocky shading of the body and the pastel smoke with its strong texture create contrasts that are simply nice to look at.
)
We had some daring daredevils in the running this time, like @turbid harbor with their **Darkrai/Hakamo-o!**Absolutely based for not only doing the least popular Pokémon in the line, but also executing it really well. The texture of the lower jaw and hair/fur is really solid and it came out looking awesome!
Not everything in the Reptile Rumble was a turtle body, as proven by @deft imp's **Torkoal/Golisopod!**The entire body being a long torkoal within a shell armor perfectly executed gives it a shine that needs to be seen, every shell and particle of smoke looks amazing!
Some fusions are just vibing, like @glass basin's **Pyukumuku/Torkoal!**This little guy is such a great, simple idea! If I didn't know better, I would think that it was a real Pokémon, not a fusion. Peak design!
Those are the results for the spotlights! Stay tuned for the results 
As you step on stage,
You ready your Pokeballs for this battle, wondering if you turtle can beat their lizard. You then realize you're a pretty bad writer, and that you wrote yourself into a hole with the announcement message, so now you're appealing to meta commentary to derive humor from your hubris and your mistake, hoping that people will be sympathetic to your skill issue. Oh, your Pokemon won btw, and here are...
...the Reptile Rumble results!
🥇 Torkoal/Goodra by @harsh dagger with 120 points!
🥈
: Kommo-o/Meloetta-Pirouette by @prisma sentinel with 115 points!
🥉
: Lickilicky/Kommo-o by @lethal siren with 114 points!

If you're interested, make sure you come over to https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1197396047434088518 and read the pins.

WEEK 4 CHARTS
Welcome to the Hair Texture Awards!
Every other Sunday I’ll be giving <@&1270914214646648927> a texture category, for this one you’ll have until <t:1730782740:R> to add your sprite to the drive.
This week’s theme is Hair! Creative hairstyles, facial hair, or even body hair are all recommended. For the texture itself, I’d actually recommend looking at Pokémon trainer sprites to see how hair is drawn in the Pokémon style

<@&1270914214646648927> guess what? Due the new Mon (Minior) getting added, I decided ||It was @woeful inlet ‘s idea|| to extend the deadline for the Glow SFX two more weeks! ||The fact that there’re only 7 entries has nothing to do||
The new deadline is <t:1731311940:R>
Any sprites made during the last two weeks are valid :D
Post all of your entries here:
Time’s up!
Good luck everyone! And have fun!
It's time for the Theme Blitz!

Drive for Double Trouble 4: Middle Child Syndrome is now closed!
Good luck everyone!~ 
With all the messages I've been sending in here today, sure one of them had to be a ping 
<@&734833821429661816>, we got LC3 polls today, both Round 8's (Winner's & Loser's)
Go vote - #special-contest-polls
Too bad that ping isn't Minior contest yet 
it'll come soon.
Thieves! 
Amélie, our boss' niece, was up late last night, and she saw something! (We are having a sleepover in the office with her while our boss is away for the weekend.)
We had the decorations put up and everything looked amazing thanks to your help!
We had the candy, as well as some ingredients for some other food for the festival, and they were all in the storage room off of the office kitchen.
Apparently Amélie couldn't sleep last night and got up to get some water. While going to the kitchen, she thought she heard something, and when she got there, she briefly saw something stealing the candy! She ran to get us up, and we found that all the festival foods and candy were gone! Even the decorations were missing! We have to find the culprit.
All Amélie told us she saw was a head, and she said it looked like it was red? Could it be a Pokémon? Are there Pokémon that fit that description? 
If anyone has any information, please send any information you have and include a likeness, we need to track these thieves down quick!
For that, we'll need a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
Beware, for this time in the
ELUSIVE POKÉDEX (Halloween edition)
**The fusion we are looking this time is of the color red 🔴 and has a body consisting of only a head
**
**And as a bonus, there is an optional theme for that edition: Spooky 👻 **
Reminder: the color is determined by the head and the official pokédex color classification and the body shape by the body
Check out the thread if you need help or to keep us informed on your search ! 👀
-# there's a chart and lists of the eligible fusions
Also a reminder, there's is a 2 day grace for sprites made before this announcement but any fusion using a new pokemon (starting from Jangmo-o) can be entered regardless
The deadline is for <t:1731011400:F>!
You can submit entries here

Not all trash is garbage, as proven by Team Creechur's Trubbish/Lombre, a clean sprite that also cleans the environment??? 😮 So what if it's made out of garbage?
-# ~~ <@&734833821429661816> ~~
Some teams really tried to use Quilladin (my condolences). All I can do for you unfortunate souls is spotlight Team Galactic's Quilladin/Garchomp, a bold fusion that shows that Quilladin is usable, I guess? Jokes aside, love what was done here
Typically middle evos tend to look like anything from awkward lost child to angsty teen, but Team Dancypants' Oricorio-Baile/Frogadier proves that doesn't have to be the case, as it looks very charismatic and like a kind gentleman!
Team Creechur is back at it again with Litwick/Lombre, a well done, classy fusion capable of starting a small civil war in #contest-judging-panel! Not a lot of sprites can claim that title 
Is the doduo free? Yes, the doduo is free! it's the Rock Lobster's contribution to society (and what a contribution Lombre/Doduo is, have you seen this silly dude?) Silly friend with silliness to spare, another great buddy to join us in the spotlight!
Those are the results for the spotlights! Stay tuned for the results 
As you step on stage,
🚀
...the Double Trouble 4 results!
🥇 Spiritomb/Hakamo-o by DaPrincessAndDaFrog (@maiden laurel and @prime lily) with 97 points!
🥈

It was a beautiful day inside,
but you seem to have lost your trainer! Last thing you remember, he pulled out his badge case, looked at his shiny new badge, and muttered something about "beating Wispy for Tide Badge" or something like that. He saw something that glittered, and next thing you knew, you were by yourself. You have no clue of where you are, but of one thing you are certain: You need to find Crispy before your trainer and Sableye get the Dawn Badge!
As you stumble in the dark looking for an exit, you see a bit of light trickling in. An exit! You rush forwards towards it and make it outside, only for a bright flash to blind you as something CRASHES right in front of you!
Dazed from the impact, you slowly open your eyes to see... a rock? But, before you have any time to take in what is in front of you, that something starts floating and asks you: Where am I? What is this place? and while you don't exactly know where you are, you respond, in a level tone: This is Mount Boon. I am currently lost looking for a way out of here, but it seems this wasn't it.
You begin to turn around, and that weird sky rock introduces itself: I am Minior. I was flying over this so-called "Mount Doom when I got separated from my cluster and got lost. Would you mind if I joined your venture in looking for a way out?
Not wanting to be rude, you allow Minior to join you, as you both delve deeper in...
🌠 All That Twinkles 🌠
Rules:
- Animation is not allowed.
- No collabs.
- Maximum of 5 entries per person.

It's time for the Theme Blitz!
**This week's theme is Laboratory, submitted by @deep cape! 🧪 **

If you're interested, make sure you come over to https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1197396047434088518 and read the pins. You have until the end of Wednesday to get your sprites in the gallery. The results will be posted on Thursday. <@&1270914214646648927>
Not all fashion is current and trendy, but that's okay, that why we have... || <@&734833821429661816> ||
...The Judge Spotlights!
Some sprites won us over with their silly dance, such as @glossy charm's Ludicolo/Xatu! The movement on this sprite is perfect for a Ludicolo/Xatu fusion. It has just the right amount of silly energy. Combine that with the soft but intricate pattern on the torso and the little guy on top and what you get is a pretty memorable sprite!
Greatest Pineapple Award goes to @signal arch's jolly pineapple Victreebel/Ludicolo! It's a great example that simple splices can still yield great results if done well!
- Cheese
- Rat
- Ratatta/Lotad by @glossy charm
Some sprites have major girlboss energy, like @lavish vale's Scrafty/Meloetta-Aria, she owns the contest like a punk girl, with radical and dynamic movements, colors mixing well like a queen, and a harsh pose showing her expression! 
Some fashion is pretty out there, and @eager umbra's
Carvanha/Lombre proves that with a design that is pretty creative when incorporating a pirate, the green color from the shiny is a really nice touch to the clothes.
Those are the results for the spotlights! Stay tuned for the results 
You can't always get what you want,
but at the very least, you know you and your Ludicolo tried breaking into the fashion world. And you were so close, too! 3rd place isn't bad, but it's a far cry from what you were hoping for!
Feeling defeated, you grab your C-Gear on the verge of tears, ready to call your mother and tell her of the Fashion Fiasco that took place today, but before you can look into the camera, a shadow stands over you. It's Elesa, Nimbasa City's Gym Leader and the single greatest fashion designer in the world!
You wipe your tears and turn to face her, who, with an air of grandiosity, informs you that, despite how things turned out, she'd like to give you an internship! You're overjoyed at this, and Elesa inputs her contact in your C-Gear. As she turns away, she tells you...
The Fashion Feud Results!
🥇 Girafarig/Scrafty by @craggy apex with 101 points!
🥈
: Exeggutor/Scrafty by @topaz oak with 99 points!
🥉
: Ludicolo/Kecleon by @vocal nexus with 96 points!

Hello! It's @hasty sky, @gaunt fulcrum and I!
Everything is mostly back to normal at the office again, as Amélie has to return home to her family shortly after the Festival. We can tell that our boss is sad, although she doesn’t want to let us in on it, so she’s trying to fill up our free time to distract herself (and us).
Our new task is acquiring a tree for the upcoming Christmas holiday. The boss claims she wants to get the best quality tree and the lowest price, both, so she insists we look now, even though the Gourgeist Festival was only last week and Christmas is in more than a month. 
At the tree farm, we took longer than expected, and the sun had almost set when we found the perfect tree! Even with the artificial lights, it was splendid!
Suddenly, all the lights went out, and once they came back on, the tree was gone!
All that was left behind was a single, pink leaf. The authorities said there wasn’t enough evidence for them to help in any way, so now we need you! 🫵
Please send us a picture and a description that fits the criteria!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
In the
ELUSIVE POKÉDEX
for the 16th event:
**The fusion we are looking this time is of the color pink 🩷 and belong to the *Grass egg group 🥚🌿 * **
Reminder: the color is determined by the head and the official pokédex color classification and the egg group by the body
Check out the thread for more informations !
-# there's a chart and lists of the eligible fusions
Also a reminder, there's is a 2 day grace for sprites made before this announcement but any fusion using a new pokemon (starting from Jangmo-o) can be entered regardless
The deadline is for <t:1732221000:F>!
You can submit entries here

The Trick or Treat Judge Spotlights!
Eldritch horror award for Unown/Gourgeist by @sonic gust, the long bendy arms paired with an unsettling amount of eyeballs is truly a sprite fit for spooky season, and the large eye on the main body is just really well done.
We had some pretty spooky fusions, such as Pumpkaboo/Wailord by @wintry hearth, being genuinely spooky in the Pokémon style is something that commends appraise, great job!
Some fusions strayed away from the main halloween theme, such as Gourgeist/Greninja by @brazen linden, it gives some really good fantasy vibes, and on top of that, the light source is perfect!
The mischievous cotton candy monkey Swirlix/AIpom by @simple bridge is very cute and well shaded, it also has a great dynamic pose and expression, which is pretty impressive for a small sprite and with a Pokémon that isn't very popular as well
A most fortunate good boy, Chespin/Slurpuff by @maiden laurel is a very cute sprite with a really creative slurpuff body design, while keeping Chespin's recognizability in the mix!
the Silly award goes Gourgeist/Slowbro by @glossy charm, look at that head, no thoughts, head empty, simply inspiring, love the tail, love the cornucopia theme!
Those are the results for the spotlights! Stay tuned for both results 
Trick or Treat Contest!
🥇 Gourgeist/Meganium by @wooden parrot with 120 points!
🥈

It must be a beautiful day outside,
but you've been exploring for hours with no sign of your Trainer! Has he forgotten about you? Minior has been trying to "help", but it's been the opposite of helpful.
You lose hope as you continue into Mt. Bloom, and for the 50-somethingth time, Minior darts off, exclaiming: I found the exit! You have good reason to sincerely doubt it, but this time Minior seems certain, saying: I see light! This must be it!
Excited about leaving the cave, and no longer worried about all the Sableye that have been attacking, you scurry towards Minior's voice, only to find that there's not an exit but a breathtaking Pokémon! Before you can say anything, they introduce themself: Hi! I'm Diancie! Your friend here said you guys were lost, so do you need help leaving Mt. Moon?
YES! Overjoyed, you earnestly accept Diancie's offer, as you prep yourself for...
All That Sparkles! 
Rules:
- Animation is not allowed.

Up there! Is it a bird? A plane? No, it's... || <@&734833821429661816> ||
...The Judge Spotlights for All That Twinkles!
Some spriters were daring enough to do a Meteor body, such as @eager umbra with their Cacnea/Minior-M, it displays a nice blend of both Pokémon's palette and features, while simultaneously introducing interest via the pot, and keeping the sprite fairly simple.
Not every shell was exactly a shell, and a great display of this is @dense estuary with their Minior-M/Persian, the yarn is such a nice touch and a good way to introduce Minior's shell in an unique way, bringing value to an otherwise underrated Pokémon.
The next 3 spotlights all were picked under a similar premise, that being their superb use of color. What makes each of them interesting is how they went about that! While @serene pagoda's Minior-C/Ninetales blends the colors using AA and a mix of Ninetales' natural colors and a nice cool blue,
@mint elbow's Minior-C/Doduo uses its colors to exacerbate ||
|| the fusion design idea, all while making a lovely little buddy that darn stinkin' cute.
Lastly, @young condor's Minior-C/Onix opts instead to not blend the colors, but rather display them side-by-side in order to bring together a stunning mix of distinct colors that just work wonderfully together!
Those are the results for the spotlights! Stay tuned for the results 
It is a nice day __out__side,
since you're finally out of that cave! You thank Diancie for the guidance and set off towards Cerulean City towards your trainer.
You're glad to be outside, especially since you've made a new friend in Minior! You're sure your trainer can help it find its family, since in Kanto's night sky, if you pay close attention, you can spot...

It's December 1st. And you know what that means.
It's time for this years' Secret Spriter
Per usual, this first week of December will be us collecting your requests, which will be done in a separate channel: #secret-spriter-2026
This channel can only be seen by Spriters.
To those of you familar with Secret Spriter n' such, off you go now to submit your request 
But for those unfamiliar with Secret Spriter, it's an event consisting of 3 phases
-
Submission Phase ((We are here))
-
Spriting Phase
and -
Contest Phase
Submission Phase is typically the first week of December, where we collect your requests using a Google Form. There's further instructions within the form as to how to write your requests, albeit if you have any questions, ask me!
Spriting phase lasts typically about 2 weeks, ending around Christmas. This is where requests are passed out randomly, making sure a person doesn't get their own request.
You as the Spriter simply complete the request, and will complete this phase.
You will receive your request via DM, that should be us passing out requests sometime between the 9th and 11th.
You'll see this within the #secret-spriter-2026, but I'll re-iterate it here as well. If any complications arise when you get your request, and you can't finish it, let us know. Please.
Contest Phase is just the entries being thrown into a polled contest at the end of it, nothing special.
It's time for the Theme Blitz!
**This week's theme is Horse-Like, submitted by @visual skiff! 🐴 **
Not sure what the Theme Blitz is? Here's the short of it: Spriters work together to complete all fusions between a selected set of Pokémon before the end of a relatively brief period of time.

...The Judge Spotlights for All That Sparkles!
Some sprites are just shrimply good, such as @zealous ravine's Diancie/Exeggutor! Love the flow of the dress, the rounded edges (laces?) look great, and the Gen 5 style is simple at first glance, but is executed amazingly (exegguted amazingly, if you would
)
Also by @zealous ravine, Diancie/Lotad takes the Little Guy award. Might be a silly award, but aside from being cute, the absolute level of craftsmanship at work here is stunning, the petals of the flowers are angled correctly, with a crazy multicolor shine while being clearly gems, which we know is hard 🙏
With Diancie as the pokemon for this contest, everyone got to work on their gem shapes, but @ebon wadi, not settling for just gems, also threw Necrozma/Diancie's prisms into the mix! It's such a cool use of both pokemon's elements, and the Z-crystals are such a nice touch, what a splendid sprite!
The Friend-shaped Award goes to @stark crest's Sliggoo/Diancie they're is round 'n' squishy 'n' I love them! Also gorgeous gooey texturing and just a simple lovable friend, huge fan!
To no one's surprise, here is one of @south rune's sprites, this time being her Diancie/Cofagrigus! With its graceful ribbons, delicate gilded edges and inlaid patterning, this sarcophagus is fit for a queen to make her glamorous and ghostly entrance into the afterlife, but she must be wearing her lip gloss first 💅💅💅
Those are the results for the spotlights! Stay tuned for the results 
I hate you Yanmega
<@&734833821429661816>
Btw, I have to be honest with you guys, today I found an oopsie of my making
Today, I have made an amend to the Contest Guidelines so that only your highest-placing sprite makes it to the podium, so that this Podium never happens again. That being said, this is what the All That Sparkles podium would've been if there were no amends:
The All That Sparkles Gasmask Podium!
🥇 Rhyhorn/Diancie by @serene pagoda with 114 votes!
🥈
: Bruxish/Diancie by @serene pagoda with 113 votes!
🥉
: Diancie/Parasect by @serene pagoda with 112 votes!
You can view the full results here, including some feedback and notes!
Now, the actual podium post-amend (and the one that's being registered):
The All That Sparkles Podium!
🥇 Rhyhorn/Diancie by @serene pagoda with 114 votes!
🥈
: Ho-oh/Diancie by @vagrant folio with 110 votes!

As I was about to post the very first Theme Blitz chart, back in the old Spriter-General-Lounge, a thought occurred to me. Wait a minute. Is this going to be one of those things that seems inconsequential in the start, but later turns out to be a really big deal? Am I actually starting something important? I thought about it, and decided on Nah, we’ll all have forgotten about it in a week like so many other games, and posted the chart.
It’s been one year since then, and looking back, I really should have listened to that small part of me; it has a pretty good track record. But if I had, I might’ve been too nervous to post that first chart. A lot has come from the Theme Blitz, and the only way I’ve been able to take each step forward is because I’ve had lots of great Spriters, Event Organizers, and staff help me through. So, I would like to very sincerely say:
Thank you.
It means a lot to me.
With that said, I’ve got a very special theme for you this week…
It's time for the Theme Blitz!
**This week's theme is World of Pokémon! 🌏 **
<@&1270914214646648927>
There are 36 or 81 fusions to complete, this is the 52nd theme, and you have four charts to complete before you unlock 10x10 charts.
Confused?
This chart isn’t a normal chart. In order for this chart to count towards your completion streak, you just have to complete the fusions in the large boxes. However… 
If you complete every fusion in this chart, you’ll unlock a special new surprise mo- Oops, I almost said too much! 
You’ll have extra time to complete the World of Pokémon Blitz. You have until <t:1734235200:f>, <t:1734235200:R>, to submit your sprites to the gallery, following all the rules pinned in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1197396047434088518. Due to the extended time limit, any sprites posted after <t:1734235200:f> will not be accepted.
I’ll post a half-time report on Wednesday to show you your progress.
In addition, you can look forward to an extra-special commemorative picture at the end of this blitz!
After the World of Pokémon Blitz, I will be going on hiatus from my Staff Helper duties, and there will be no Theme Blitz for the next two weeks. ||I’ve been doing this for a year
I need a break to keep things fresh.|| I encourage you to enjoy the holidays with your loved ones.
The Theme Blitz will resume on <t:1735502400:D>.
Happy spriting!
3600s remain for #secret-spriter-2026 submissions!
I shall throw out a ping for this, to ensure it's not missed
<@&734833821429661816>
All but one Secret Spriter request is passed out, therefore we are entering "Spriting Phrase"
Here is the run down on how this works: This info will also be present in #secret-spriter-2026 for a quick and easy spot to hold on to all info rather than having to scroll back to this message.
Now that you receive your request it is best to:
- put your sprite into spritework like any other sprite.
- In the title put (Secret Spriter)
- You may mark it as spoiler if you wish.
- Ping me, @opal briar in your thread so I can mark down that you have started your request.
If you see your request being made in spritework:
- You may give feedback/praise on it
- Do NOT say that it is your request.
And one more very VERY important thing within this section of "rules":
Do NOT freeload:
If any issue comes up, (IRL stuff, you feel like the sprite is too difficult and need help, you can't do it for religious reasons, etc.), DM me, @opal briar, so I can take care of things and make sure all requests get done. You won't be in any trouble as long as you let me know.
The deadline for your request is <t:1735264800:R>, AKA <t:1733718110:T>.
With that all said and done - here is the link to the Google Drive where you will put your finished requests (and also the drive for the "Contest Phase")
Contest Phase Drive
Roughly 10-12 days into the deadline, I will post a Google Spreadsheet here that will show whether I, @opal briar have seen that you have started your request in #1050404143807873157 with a colored bar next to your name in either 🔴 red or 🟢 green.
If your name is next to 🔴 red, it means I have not seen your sprite in #1050404143807873157 yet, either by you not having it been posted in #1050404143807873157 yet, or I having missed it. Either way, when the deadline comes you do not want your name to be 🔴 red. It only leads to bad things for you if your name is red.
If you name is next to 🟢 green, it means that I have seen your sprite in #1050404143807873157 and you've done your part in Secret Spriter. yippee 
-# Just be sure to still finish your request.
Hello! It's @gaunt fulcrum , @hasty sky and I!
We managed to bring the tree back and have finished most of the decorating, but we cannot take a break yet even though we want to! 
My fingers are frozen, and I think Goocolo is not taking well to the current temperature as well, not to mention the tree. 
But we don't have anything to warm us up yet, the office heating is broken.
So we though about it, and we could use a fire type to replace it in the meanwhile! 
We need as usual, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
This time in the
ELUSIVE POKÉDEX
**The fusion we are looking this time has the head with the number x5x❓5️⃣❓and has for secondary type *Fire 🔥 ***
Reminder: the secondary type is determined by the body and can be influenced by the head type

Im really sorry i left y’all in darkness for all this time, I’ve been super busy lately with a blinding amount of work.
But without further ado, let’s start with some shining spotlights:

In related news, I’ve decided to extend the deadline for the Worked Stone Texture Awards to <t:1735793940:R>. That means <@&1270914214646648927> have until the end of the year to sculpt the perfect fusions for it

Howdy, <@&734833821429661816>!
It's a week until the deadline for Secret Spriter is up, so now is the time to release....
the list.
If your name is 🟢 green on this list, you're fine. Nothing more that you gotta do for the event, you've posted your sprite into #1050404143807873157 , and that's good.
If your name is 🔴 red on this list, then it means I have not seen your sprite on #1050404143807873157
More likely than not, that means I did not see your ping, and you should re-ping me in your thread, so I can correct it.
Alternatively it means that you've not posted it in #1050404143807873157.
Regardless of such, you should do wat's in your power to make your name not 🔴 red.

oh yeah, you have like, 4 days to finish secret spriter or else
Hello! It's @gaunt fulcrum , @hasty sky and I!
The office is now decorated all warm and cozy with a beautiful tree! We can finally start the festivities! 
Wait, what’s this, I think we have a surprise guest?
It's white as the snow outside (??
), so it blends in and we couldn't spot it.
Headquarters requires any Pokémon we keep in the office NOT “get along” with our assigned office Ditto in any way, and this poor thing fortunately does not, so we assume it’s not part of any Egg Group? Since Ditto isn’t an issue, we have one more at our little office party.
We need as usual, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
This time in the
🌲 ELUSIVE POKÉDEX 🌨️
**The fusion we are looking this time is of the color white ⚪ and belongs to the no egg discovered egg group ❌ **
Reminder: the color is determined by the head and the egg group by the body

Merry Fishmas everyone!
<@&734833821429661816> Evening everyone, this announcement pertains to Secret Spriter.
I've decided to extend the deadline by another 2 days to better accomodate for the holiday season and give that needed extra time to those who need it.
The new deadline is ** <t:1735513247:R>, AKA <t:1735513215:D>**
-# One more thing, during this time as well is the time I'll start looking for replacement spriters for the requests people could not finish.
-# If interested, DM me, and I'll try and give you one that matches what you're good at.
That was fast, I'm already out of requests that need replacements at the moment. If that changes, I'll let y'all know 
Rather than just making a new message each time, I'll edit this one:
Requests Left: 2
Well then. I'm not 100% sure on what to do in terms of Secret Spriter during the down time that's stated in #event-announcements, but I think I got a rough idea
If your name is still 🔴 red, instead of putting it in #1050404143807873157, just DM me @opal briar so I can fix your name on the list.
You should still be able to see #secret-spriter-2026, therefore still having access to the drive and information in there, if not DM me, @opal briar.
Alternatively, if you have any questions, well, I think there's someone you can DM. Wonder who? 
-# Hint: It's me @opal briar 
@burnt stream Technically missed this one, although I think closing it would not let me edit the "Requests Left" message here.
So you got all the channels

-# If you need a reminder on how Community Voting works: see #event-general message
Due to the extra work involved with a difference in blitz mode, the release of today's blitz may be somewhat belated.
Thank you for your understanding 🙇♀️
ahem
Despite the technical difficulties:
It's time for the Theme Blitz!
The mode is Team Blitz!
**This week's theme is Team Rockruff Family, submitted by @buoyant veldt! 🐺 **
One random participant will be chosen to choose the theme of the next Team Blitz, so come out and sprite to represent your team!
Not sure what the Theme Blitz is? Here's the short of it: Spriters work together to complete all fusions between a selected set of Pokémon before the end of a relatively brief period of time. If you're interested, make sure you come over to https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1197396047434088518 and read the pins. You have until the end of Wednesday to get your sprites in the gallery. The results will be posted on Thursday. <@&1270914214646648927>
Hello again! It's @gaunt fulcrum , @hasty sky and I!
To anyone that noticed last month when we mentioned the outside was white and snowy, you are correct, there is something going on
.
It was December in Brazil! It’s supposed to be beach season!
We’re trying to investigate the cause of this anachronistic cold snap, and we’ve heard rumors that there’s a Pokémon shrouded in aurorae, wandering in the blizzard.
Time to investigate and hopefully bring back summer. Can you help us narrow the list for our search? We know that it must learn Aurora Veil, and those that spotted it described it as a bird traipsing on the ground, so it must be a Flying type?
We need as usual, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
In this edition of the
ELUSIVE POKÉDEX
*The fusion we are looking this time has a head knowing the move AURORA VEIL and has the secondary type FLYING **
Reminder: the secondary type is determined by the body (but can be influenced by the head if it has the same type)

Case Nine
-# The Catcher of Some Rye
Well, now that things have calmed down, this case load isn't half bad! If you keep getting nice, lax cases like that last one then maybe you can rest easy and get that sweet sweet cash flow coming in! Even though it's all on company card...
As you go to get yourself some breakfast, you notice that there isn't any bread left in your pantry. Huh, you must've eaten the last of it yesterday when you had your "triple decker toast and jam" thing. Oh well!
You pull out your RotomPhone and punch into a grocery list "Bread (a lot)". The RotomPhone buzzes and flips out of your hand.
*BZZT* GOOD MORNING DETECTIVE! SINCE TODAY IS YOUR DAY OFF, I CAN ORDER A RIDE TO THE GROCERY MARKET DOWNTOWN!
That would be great! You deserve a little fresh air, and since the market is all outdoors with vendors all about, maybe you can get yourself a little treat as well. You tell your RotomPhone to go ahead and order a ride, and throw on a quick casual outfit. It's mismatched, but you've never been one to have a good sense of fashion.
Your ride arrives. It's a RotomCar, of course. Ever since the introduction of Rotom into the Pokémon technological ecosystem, everything is run off of these guys. It's a bit of a symbiotic relationship, the Rotom get an electronic to possess, and we get hyper-powered electronics to use! You hop in the car and it takes off faster than you can think.
Once you arrive at the market, you see it's gotten much bigger than you remember. Vendors line the streets as far as you can see, and the main roads look like a festival is happening. You push through the crowd to try and get a grip on where the groceries you need might be. A bakery vendor catches your eye, under the name "Puff's Puffs". Once you get up to the stand, you see a few police officers crowded around the front of the stand. Upon closer inspection, you see Lieutenant Yuma talking to the vendor.
[Yuma] - "Now, Ms. Slurpuff, we just need you to sign some of these papers claiming the witness report and we'll get this case processed for you as soon as we can. Is that okay with you?"
[Slurpuff] - "Puff! Puff Slurpuff!"
You push through the crowd some more and call out to Yuma.
[Yuma] - "Ah! Detective! Fancy seeing you here, especially on your day off! Well, yeah we got a call down at the office that there was a thief running around the market. A lot of criminals committing theft lately, I have a feeling something big is happening behind the scenes... B-But that's a separate deal! I'll get to the bottom of that in my own time, for now I'll hand this case report to you. I know it's your day off, but just take a look at it and see if anything sparks your mind."
You stow the case report away in a bag you brought for groceries and ask Yuma directly what happened.
[Yuma] - "Oh, w-well this vendor was one of many that reported a thief taking their goods. As you can see, half of their stand is gone, but this vendor hasn't reported a sale at all today. It's a shame, too. I usually come to "Puff's Puffs" for all of my personal bread, especially when I get donuts for the comp-"
Yuma stops speaking and starts stammering. You for sure have never seen a donut a day in your life at the agency.
[Yuma] - "W-Well, I-I mean I uh, uhm WE uh, o-oh jeez. Look, just take a look at the case file, call me when you have a lead! Bye!"
Yuma speeds off as fast as they can, the police officers that were around them chase down the street to try and catch up. A big sigh escapes your body as you approach "Puff's Puffs". You hand the Slurpuff working the counter ₽50 and grab a large, puffy loaf of bread. You offer your condolences, and leave the stand. You reach into your bag and pull out the case statement:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case 009: The Catcher of Some Rye
At apprx. 8:00am on Sunday, January 12th
Many vendors at the downtown PIF Outdoor Market report stolen goods and products, totaling over ₽750 and counting. Since the area was so crowded, the criminal should have easily been spotted. However, due to the nature of the criminal in question, it seems there is little information known about the matter. Here are the few witness reports we could scrounge up:
[Owner Slurpuff (Translated)] - "I was setting up my shop for the morning, and I go to sit out my stock. I realize soon in that my stock is cut nearly in half! Only my pastries were targets, none of the baked goods seem to be touched. I found this tooth in one of the bread loaves, and it does not belong to me. It looks like a shark tooth to me, but I am not good with these things."
[Street Thug Alfredo] - "Huh?! I didn't do NOTHIN! I came out this mornin' 'cause me and my buddies were supposed to be sellin' these little charms on the corners today, y'know, make some quick, easy cash? We set 'em down on the ground for a second, a SECOND! Alls of the sudden we hear cracklin, like the ground moved, and then they were all GONE! We spent a long time nabbin' all those ch- I-I mean, we stayed up all night makin' those charms for today, heh heh..."
[Picnicker Snoot] - "As you know, today marks the start of our annual bake sale. All of us picknickers bake and sell as many cookies as we can, for charity! So because of um- my commitment to our cause, I was here at the bakery early, before it opened. I wanted to make sure I was the first customer, didn't want to risk them being sold out of cooki- ahem, anyway. The owner was still busy setting things up, but the weirdest thing happened when they turned their back! A hole appeared, right there in the ground, and all of the little cakes and pies and stuff just floated into it! I could also swear I felt the temperature drop a few degrees, although that might have just been the early morning breeze. I don't know who took those pastries, but I'm just glad they didn't take the cookies too!"
This criminal is wanted for grand theft of public property, causing a public disturbance, and terroristic threats to the general populous.
It's up to you to make a criminal sketch of the perpetrator for Lieutenant Yuma. You have until <t:1737392340:F> to submit your sketch into the P.O. box:

It's a beautiful day somewhere else......
For simply put, I don't really have any good way to tie this in to the rest of the "All That" series, so instead I'm using this section as my yearly sum-up. So buckle up, this is a year's worth of thoughts written in one day 
Last year really shook up the event system, and I took a good step back to see how it'd all play out, what works, what didn't, and everything in-between.
Starting with the POTW, it's a simple automated event that gives people motivation to sprite a particular mon, just because they can. It's a simple thing that truth be told I'm happy about because it enables us to not have to do classics often (with exception to new additions, but even then we have more variety in that department now)
Beyond that was our first big series of the year, "Going, Going, Gone". If there is one thing I regret about this series, it is how on everything else that followed ended up being more story-focused in terms of theming rather than creating difficult challenges and criteria for those interested to explore. Seriously take a look back through our other contests and series this year, it's all heavily story-driven with this one being the exception.
Oooh, another notable topic: all the new events popping up in #1149373303669145751, the other Mimes' have been killing it.
Like in this year alone, we've had Sprite Bingo, Spritdoku, SFX/Texture awards , Elusive Pokedex, Theme Blitz, a surge in more Sprite Duels, Telephones, and the ocassional Pain Trade, and as mentioned earlier there's POTW, and still, way, way more!! If I were to go in to each of these posts alone, this sum-up would be like, 3 full Nitro lengths long
. Rather, the whole Mime Jr. system, while having some flaws, is overall a plus I'd say for giving other event creators a platform to make things to do for other people, and get the tools and support they need to do so.
Next thing I wanna touch on. Last year, we had a loooooooot of month long events.
3 rushes, Mergemay, Spritober and Secret Spriter, half of the year was month long events and all I can say is:
Oops 
We'll probably not being as many of those this year, although we'll see because if there's anything about events I've seen in the past 4 years it's that we absolutely forget and then end up doing the same thing anyways, I mean just read [my sum-up on 2023](#event-announcements message) how many of those things did we really accomplish 
I'd talk more about the April Fools contest: Totally Real IF 3DS Port, but I've had another April Fools contest planned for months and talking about it would most likely spoil what I've got coming so we're skipping this one 
Next up: Fusion Day and the 500k celebration!!!
I didn't list it in the month long event section, because I warrant it special enough to talk about here.
The 500k celebration was a challenge to coordinate well that took people from all over the community to make something to celebrate the server and more importantly the community as a whole. That month had everything, new additions, fun events scattered throughout the month, battles, movie nights, yet...I still know I could have done better to include more, and that is the goal with this year's Fusion Day. I can't promise new additions this year, I'm not Frog, but I'll work hard to have something special on my end ready.
And here we are the last thing on my list: Secret Spriter.
Last year I mentioned that I wanted to try [allowing vaguer prompts in Secret Spriter](#event-announcements message), and well we tried it.
It did wonders!!
Of requests received, I only had 8 dropped, and 3 that swapped around their original request, which is down 50% from last year.
-# Just barely not enough characters to fit in one, oh well 
This is definitely something that will stick around for future Secret Spriters, and I'm happy that I got the suggestion, and happier I tried it out.
I originally was gonna post this earlier into the month, but sometimes just getting all your words and thoughts out is hard. And now here we are almost one month deep into 2025.
Well, let's make the rest of this year a great one.
And now the podium

Hello everyone! It's @gaunt fulcrum , @hasty sky and I!
The snowstorm has ended! 
We believe the previous Pokémon was actually causing the snowstorm to protect itself. Why? Because now, we're experiencing the polar opposite: severe heat, harsh sun, and no clouds in sight.
It is summer here, but this extreme heatwave isn't normal. 
We tried asking around to see if anyone had seen a Pokémon that might be the cause of these extreme temperatures, or if they have an idea to counteract the heat.
Turns out somebody suspect a pokemon who dries everything around it.
If this is a Pokémon, we need help finding it before it causes too much damage!
Based on the descriptions we received, it has the ability Drought and is as solid as a rock.
We need as usual, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
In this edition of the
ELUSIVE POKÉDEX

Hi! It's @gaunt fulcrum , @hasty sky and I!
Thanks to your help, we managed to pinpoint the cause of the drought! Who would have thought such a cutie could cause such drastic changes in the weather? 
Well now that the temperature and climate are more reasonable again, we can finally enjoy a much-needed respite after all these hectic weeks.
And just when we though we could relax, a new problem has arisen: the Amacor discovered previously and the new Torsola that was just found don't really get along at all, and they keep fighting. Why can't they just be friends? 
We decided to try to find a Pokémon able to mend hearts and create bonds, which will hopefully help them get along! Mostly for our peace of mind... and also to spare the office furniture...
But this creature would also need to have a unique advantage that works on both of them, just so that it doesn't get hurt if caught in the middle of another spat.
We need as usual, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
In this Valentine edition of the
💝 ELUSIVE POKÉDEX 💝
** The fusion we are looking for this time has a head capable of learning Sweet Kiss 💋
and a body that belongs to the egg group Water 2 🌊
As a bonus, there is an optional theme: cupid

And any Luvdisc made after the rush started is eligible!

And here's last week's sprite collage!
It's time for the Theme Blitz! 
**This week's theme is Pain, submitted by @prime forum! **
Not sure what the Theme Blitz is? Here's the short of it: Spriters work together to complete all fusions between a selected set of Pokémon before the end of a relatively brief period of time. If you're interested, make sure you come over to https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1197396047434088518 and read the pins. You have until the end of Wednesday to get your sprites in the gallery. The results will be posted on Thursday. <@&1270914214646648927>
You've learned so much on your adventure with your Pokémon. You've truly encountered a startling array of new fusions. That's how you know that this one in front of you is something special. Why is it acting so strangely? You slide open your Pokédex and…
Huh? No data?
Sounds like it’s time to do some research… 
That’s right, <@&734833821429661816>, it’s time for a brand-new
Pokédex Entry Contest! 
We’re asking you to write the best Pokédex entries that you can! Your entries will be graded on creativity, readability, and correctness. Entries will be sorted into one of four tiers, but only one entry can claim the top tier! Make sure you follow the [rules](#dex-entries-discussion message)!
The winner of the contest will claim the snazzy Event Winner role, and their entry will be pinned in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1019208546916761660 as an example for aspiring Pokédex authors.
The theme for our third contest is special... We're introducing something new that we're calling Poké Pages! Poké Pages are handy little informational pages that teach you all about the do's and don't's of writing for certain Pokémon. You can expect new Poké Pages to be released with each 'Dex Entry Contest.
All submitted entries to this event must be written for a fusion that includes at least one of the following Pokémon:
Paras, Parasect, Porygon, Porygon2, Porygon-Z and/or Spiritomb
Read these carefully. Your reading comprehension is an important part of being a successful author! You can open the images in a new tab to view them more clearly.
This set of Pokémon has the theme of "What makes a fusion?" as they are 'mons that test the boundaries of your grasp on the concept of Pokémon fusion.
Your entries do not need to follow that theme. All that we ask in terms of theme is that you use what you learn to inspire more creativity.
You have until <t:1740261600:f> to submit your entries.
Submit your entries here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe7gLTKrSjeVeaaNKfc6q9V3FxZjZfUqFMhbOjF7OBx_RYO-Q/viewform?usp=sf_link (This is not a submission form for entering your Pokédex entry into the Pokémon Infinite Fusion game! If you want to see your entry in-game, make sure you also submit it via the form linked in Custom Pokedex Entries!)
Good luck, authors! 🫡
If you're entering a Pokédex entry for a contest, submit it with this form!
ALL POKÉDEX ENTRIES MUST FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:
Should be 2 sentences or so.
Between 100 and 250 characters long.
No grammatical/syntactical errors.
Nothing that breaks the PIF Server rules.
Should make sense in-universe. No direct references to other media, etc.
You ...
Luvdisc Heads have reached 80%!
Y'all are crushing it and spreading the Luv

This contest will be a public vote!
Drive Link

And with the contest now available comes....
Luvdisc Body Milestones!
Since Luvdisc Bodies have already reach 50% Completion, you already got your second contest entry, right from the get go! Yippee. 
Since Luvdisc Bodies reached 90% Completion, the heads and bodies will each get their own podiums! Heads and Bodies each get 2 entries!
Will be noted that if Luvdisc Bodies reach 100% Completion, then Luvdisc body will also grant the Completionist role, but there isn't even 100% heads yet, so no Completionist role yet anyways

<@&734833821429661816>
Howdy! LC Loser's Round 14 is up in #special-contest-polls!
-# Also what's above this message 
Luvdisc Bodies have hit 90%!
This means heads and bodies will be seperated in the contest and in turn, will receive their own podiums!
-# Click the replied message for a quick link to the contest & it's rules.

Heh, Boodies
My gleeby deeby ass can't spell 😔
Hello everyone! It's @gaunt fulcrum , @hasty sky and I!
Life has calmed down SO MUCH since we were able to reconcile Amacor and Torsola! The chaos basically stopped right away once we found Clefdisc. (Honestly I think the stress was getting to me, I've been hearing all these bird sounds lately, but no one else appears to be hearing them...)
We wanted to decompress and celebrate by bringing the whole office gang to the upcoming festival, but no one in the group knows how to dance (to be precise, no one can dance WELL👀)
🫠🫠
Ideally, we could find a local Pokémon that learns powerful dance moves and has a natural proclivity to replicate new dances easily. (They can teach us new moves and hopefully also learn the festival choreography quickly, too, we need serious assistance 🙃)
We need as usual, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
For this edition of the
ELUSIVE POKÉDEX
The fusion we are looking for this time has a head capable of learning DRAGON DANCE🐉 and a body that knows the ability Dancer💃

🏆 Custom Pokédex Contest Results! 📇
First of all, all of us Unown would like to give you <@&734833821429661816> a big thanks for participating in this writing-focused contest! We had so many excellent submissions!
And now, the results! Entries were placed into tiers based on their quality and correctness. The rubric for grading was as follows:
C-Tier: The entry contained one or more grammar or spelling error, and/or it did not follow the guidelines required for PIF Pokédex submissions.
B-Tier: The entry was free from spelling errors, grammar errors, and rule breaches, but the way it was phrased resulted in one or more elements of the content being unclear.
A-Tier: The entry was free from spelling errors, grammar errors, and rule breaches, and it was clear and easy to read. All A-Tier submissions are looked at as candidates for the winning position.
Only one person can claim the top rank, though. Our winner this time crafted an entry that concisely described the fusion's behaviors and integrated its aspects with its environment.
POKENAME hides in cavernous ruins, remaining dormant in its shell. When it awakens, it erupts from its shell and causes a monstrous sandstorm that can last for over a month.
Congratulations, @next tendon, you are the winner!
Your entry will be pinned in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1201260356182483134 as an example to aspiring Pokédex authors.
If you entered the contest and would like to see how you placed, page over to the Contest Results tab in https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JOqitOP72D-s_es1-F7OzVPUkKJ3tytjfvhptx1KAK8/edit?gid=436149667#gid=436149667](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JOqitOP72D-s_es1-F7OzVPUkKJ3tytjfvhptx1KAK8/edit?resourcekey=&gid=557446530#gid=557446530) to view the entries!

The world of Pokémon, a spinning globe of wonderment! Home to an infinite array of creatures too varied to fully comprehend. And no matter what corner of the world you find yourself - rest assured, you'll for sure find Pokémon there. Join us as we explore the lives of these wonderous creatures alongside Sbeve Irwig
"The Kanto-Johto area is such a fascinating place where so many species of Pokémon get to thrive freely and happily, it's always great to be able to see Pokémon happy and healthy. Today we'll be going through three different locale environments, looking for interesting species because whether it be by land, by sea or even by the air - nature will always have a treat for us."

Howdy folks! Apologies for the wait, Luvdisc Quarters are up in #contest-polls
<@&734833821429661816>
Hi again everyone! It's @gaunt fulcrum , @hasty sky and I!
Thanks to our participants, we managed to find a great dancing teacher! The mood of the office has greatly improved, though it seems some of our coworkers are lost causes (when it comes to dancing).
In any case, we got a strange case this time: a nametag with most of the letters washed out, with only the first and last letters visible. And it appears to belongs to a Pokémon!
Speculation is that a newcomer is joining us, and bets have been placed on what kind of fusion it is. (We aren't participating, but wouldn't it be funny to guess right and put them in the next edition before they join us?!)
We need as usual, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
In this forecast of the
ELUSIVE POKÉDEX
*** The fusion we are looking for this time has it's name starting with a M 🇲 and ending with a Y 🇾 !***
Check out the thread !

Dexdoku Grid 5!!!
This Grid's Theme: Wild Encounters Volume 1!
Infinite Fusion has a lot of Pokémon in it, and a lot of the time certain evolutionary lines tend to go overlooked or have simply too many options to choose from. It's fun to go for the big flashy popular Pokémon, but what if we slowed down, maybe... did some radar hunting? 
You have until 11:59 PM EST Wednesday, March 26th to submit your Pokédex Entries, with the following Thursday acting as a sort of buffer for any fixes/edits/fill-ins before the results are posted the following Friday, March 28th.
As always, I and the other Unown will be in #dex-entries-discussion and #1210021946105004052 for help on any questions or edits regarding Pokédex Entries
Now then, have fun, and let's see how you can make the underestimated impressive. 
And I actually have my example grid ready this time! 
alright gamers, it's time for
# Spritedoku Week 22!
This time around, the bonus is to make at least 3 sprites with planets or stars!
Results for Week 21 come out *eventually

Before the announcement of the podiums for the Luvdisc Contest - first we have some quick spotlights we'd like to share!!!
Our first spotlight is to the.....
Funniest Fish
The fish that made me laugh the most, because of its concept and execution of the joke
Which goes to @leaden willow's Honchkrow/Luvdisc AKA King Neptune's cousin.
-# With how bald it is, surely they are related 
Next we have:
Most Romantic
Luvdisc is a Pokemon all about love and romance, and to not spotlight something around that aspect would be criminal.
This spotlight goes to @outer timber's Luvdisc/Palossand, depicting a place of cheesy, comical romance - a Tunnel of Love.
Last on our list of lovely spotlights, we have
Most Underrated Sprite
There's a lot of talented spriters here, each who deserve a chance to be recognize, and sometimes it's just hard to be when everything around you is bigger or flasher that you don't notice the amount of work someone puts on something smaller.
That's why this final spotlight goes to @noble merlin's Luvdisc/Shelgon - after all, middle stages are always neglected 
With that out the way, here's the podiums
Luvdisc Heads
🥇 Luvdisc/Giratina by @tardy pollen with 31 points !
-# ((In Order))
🥈
: Luvdisc/Gardevoir by @short crow
: Luvdisc/Noivern by @glossy charm
both tying with 21 points!
-# ((In Order))
🥉
: Luvdisc/Probopass by @wooden parrot
: Luvdisc/Porygon2 also by @noble merlin
both tying with 13 points!
Luvdisc Bodies
🥇 Cofagrigus/Luvdisc by @dusty fulcrum with 32 points !
🥈 Cacturne/Luvdisc by @tidal zodiac with 28 points !
🥉 Cacnea/Luvdisc also by @tidal zodiac with 23 points !
Deadline is fast approaching - be mindful of it

Hi people! It's @gaunt fulcrum , @hasty sky and I!
We got to meet the newcomer and you were right on the money! (Well, figuratively, we definitively didn't actually bet on anything 👀)
Yet more weird events: a soothing fragrance has been wafting throughout the office recently, like the cherry blossom blooms on the spring, but... it's autumn here. Since the newcomer isn't the source (we already definitively ruled them out, but that was our first guess, too
), we theorize there must be yet another rogue Pokémon! It's certainly been a frenetic year so far!
The only way such a fragrance could permeate so completely is if the Pokémon can both produce the sweet, floral scent, and also spread it around efficiently. Let's keep our eyes and noses open during our search!
We need as usual, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
In this edition of the
ELUSIVE POKÉDEX
The fusion we are looking for this time has its head learning sweet scent by level up 💮 and its body belonging to the Flying Egg Group! 🪺

Alright time for the results of the March Encounter Dexdoku aka Grid 5! First off, thanks to each and every one of you that submitted entries! I'm really happy with how you guys interpreted the options and wrote your entries! Hopefully this exercise encouraged you all to write more Nidoran entries, right? 
As always, let's start with our runner-ups! This time we have @tardy pollen with Vileplune/Bibarel, @lone gust with Nincada/Eevee, and @light fjord with both Nincada/Zubat and Lurantis/Ninjask!
You all had such wonderful other entries as well, I just wanted to make sure these got some highlights. Overall just very good quality this round.
But at the end of the day there can only be one winner, and the winner of the Hello March Dexdoku was... @oblique whale !

They were even kind enough to provide their own grid!
(Stars are sprites Busilisk actually made themselves, and a formal grid will be coming when my internet cooperates)
The understanding of the fusions and lore really shiny through with the imagery of entries like Stantler/Nidoking or Chespin/Fletchling helping bring the images to life or Ninjask/Gliscor and Noibat/Absol where such a simple combination of lore paints a straightforward yet amazing picture. Very well done across the board and thank you all so much for your work!
Anyway now then... <@&1270914214646648927> it's time for...
DEXDOKU GRID 6!
This Grid's Theme: April Showers!
Now then, we need more specific options of Wild Pokémon, but it's no fun if I only give you evolutionary families, now is it? No, you want themes and options of course, and that's just what you'll get! So this grid is all about welcoming the upcoming month in a theme that gives you as many options that are likely to be on the Priority list as possible, and just some starters for fun or Remix mode shenanigans.
You have until 11:59 EST on Tuesday, April 8th to make sure you are on the record as participating, with revisions or late entries being accepted through the afternoon of Friday, April 11th. Have fun and stay dry! 
Also because it fit on the Priority List and I thought it would be silly... I did something special for my Example Grid this time 
Also I am going to double the <@&1270914214646648927> because Pory called in the cavalry so I am also here to help with...
Spritedoku Week 23!
This time around, the theme is FAIRYTALES! (Would you believe it's a complete coincidence this is around the time when the Live-Action Snow White is coming out?
)
This time around, the Bonus is to Make a reference sprite. Could be a reference to a fairytale, could even be a reference to an anime. If it has lore that you'rewilling to share and fits the server's rules, it counts. Any reference is a good reference for this bonus.
A formal process of determining results for recent and future Spritedokus is in the works and potential winners of the past two have been narrowed down, but we thank you for your continued patience as we finalize the process. You have until 7:00 PM FRIDAY, APRIL 11TH to complete your grid
As always, any help or review for Dexdoku or Spritedoku will be in #1210021946105004052 and Happy Spriting!
Drive for "By Air" is officially closed!
-# Stay tuned for By Sea results soon!
Howdy folks! <@&734833821429661816>
As promised - here's the results for By Sea!
But first.... our spotlights
Our first spotlight is........
Aspect of the Sea
While this sprite did not win, it was a sprite overall well-received that takes a creative spin on the theme.
Which goes to @outer timber's Dhelmise/Tentacruel - the fact that it's a capsized ship and also a Man O' War(or in this case a "Mon" O' War
) is so cool
Next up on our list is.....
The Shiniest Sealife
All of these entries were absolutely glowing, but some were literally glowing. This spotlight goes to a fusion that brightens up the depths below.
This spotlight goes to @gray ruin's Crobat/Lanturn - which hones in on a simple concept spectaculary and shining an extra light on details within it's shading, especially that nice blue glow.
Our last Spotlight of the Sea is a pretty simple one.
🐙
...............................................🐙
-# .................................................................................................. ............ .. .. .. . . . 🐙
This spotlight goes to @deep rose's Cranidos/Octillery for being 🐙
-# It's an amazing sprite that deserves the attention 🐙
-# Also sorry for forgetting spotlights for "By Land"
With that out of the way... here's our podium!
By Sea
🥇 Seaking/Raikou by @deft imp with 87 points !
🥈 Gyarados/Reshiram by @tawdry turtle with 86 points !
🥉 Milotic/Greninja by @glossy charm with 85 points !

- Entry Count
- Breaking the Collab Rule means both people in the collab break the collab rule, cannot use to break 2 rules

)) - May be updated as needed if I see something stupid.

FAQ
Triple (or more) Fusions?
- I'm deciding against it this year. Maybe next year, alongwith animations.
I'm confused about the "Gen 5 Style rule", doesn't breaking the outline/half-pixel rule also break that rule?
- Well yes, but actually no. The "Gen 5" rule is moreso focused on the "game style", and if the game style you break that rule to change it to doesn't have outlines or inherently uses double pixels, that's just how it is - and stays part of the (Style) rule.
If the Style rule can be used to use your own art style, doesn't this mean you can use it to break multiple rules.
- Well yes, but....not really??? If your art style inherently doesn't use outlines, then that's something that is is resultant of the Style rule break. It is breaking multiple rules, but it in itself it changing the nature of the rules. So all of this to say - it's an acknowledged loophole. Don't overabuse it.
Similarly so, if you break the outline rule, you're just taking that away from the traditional Gen 5 style and the rest of your sprite must still follow the rest of the style through it's shading.
I want to post my entry to #1050404143807873157. What do I use?
- Mark your entries with the April Fools tag in #1050404143807873157, so it doesn't flood the channel

I'm confused about the canvas size. What's the deal there and how do I not break the half pixel rule?
- For sprites on canvases under 160x160, upscale by 3.
- For sprites on canvases bigger than 160x160, but smaller than 240x240, upscale by 2.
- For sprites bigger than 241x241, do not upscale.
Can I collab with more than one person??
- If you can get more than one, and as long as there's no other rule breaks in that entry and each person can still enter (i.e - doesn't go over the 3 entries allowed), the answer is yes with a maximum being a 5 person collab.
Is this contest voted or judged??
- We'll figure that one out together.

Do the "PokeStar Studio" and Glitchmons (i.e Missingno, Decamark, Bad Egg) count for Non-IF
- I'm saying yes they do. Also includes the "Substitute doll"

Hello everyone! It's @gaunt fulcrum , @hasty sky and I!
After locating the origin of the mysterious sweet scent, things are finally back to normal around the office. No weird weather or pervasive smells or anything out of the ordinary.
Well, mostly. We found a mysterious letter from a stranger on the office entrance desk... (Apparently we have a reputation of finding Pokémon now?
)
The letter implored us to find a Pokémon, but most of the letter is smuged by coffee!
All we could read is a partial pokedex number and "multiples in one"!
We need, as usual, a picture and a description!
We will give feedback to the submitted entries and pick a winner amongst them!
For this

SPRITEDOKU WEEK 24!
This Grid's Theme: Missing Links and New Opportunities
There's a lot of Pokémon out there, it's just the nature of the game some will be more abundant or more commonly left behind than others. Well today, we look to change that. We're going to find what makes these Pokémon special, we're going to find those that have been lost in the rush, and we're going to bring them to life in ways that only we can!
Speaking of making sure nobody's left behind, an important category we should cover as much as possible are Starter Pokémon, so that will be the bonus! Simply choosing 3 slots to have Starter Pokémon as part of the fusion.
You have until 7:00 PM EST on Friday April 25th to submit your grids. Unfortunately, we are still working on the current plans for judging, but we appreciate everyone who uses these templates as inspiration and will do our best to fix it within this grid to make sure that we can bring you the best experience possible.
As always, if you need any help on either 'Doku, feel free to reach out and share your work in either #dex-entries-discussion , the corresponding Sprite Channels and threads, and most of all #1210021946105004052 Good luck and happy spriting!

People of Pokémon Infinite Fusion,
Your days of listlessness are over; you have been selected for a higher calling!
My superiors have contacted me. It is time to take action.
Unfortunately, you and your leadership are not to be trusted with heading this level of responsibility.
As such, I, Chairman Rose, am here to announce THE FULL-SCALE INVASION OF POKÉMON INFINITE FUSION.
My higher-ups will arrive <t:1745614800:R>. Those of you who would like to join us, please do so. We will embrace you, and you will be protected under the leadership of Team Rainbow Rocket.
Otherwise, prepare your strongest fighters to fend off this invasion; we have more than enough power to demonstrate just how outclassed you are.

Prize Hunters Special Map: Exploration of Iris Island
You are relaxing on a weekend, recovering from previous adventures and not expecting any break in a perfect day of doing absolutely nothing, when suddenly you receive a high-priority message from the coordinator of elite fusion hunters:
"Hunters, this is an urgent transmission that I am relaying directly from our sponsor themself. There has been reports of a unique fusion located in the center of the remote Iris Island. We have reason to believe that certain groups will coming to retrieve this fusion very quickly. It is imperative that you and the rest of the hunters reach this fusion first, and make a record of it. Time is of the essence."
You sigh, and reluctantly begin packing for a trip to sea. There is no rest for the adventurous, it seems.
~~ -~~
Welcome to a special map in the Prize Hunters event series. If you are familiar with prize hunting, you will soon see that this map is slightly different from the others. Namely, we know where the prize fusion is. It is located in the center of the previously mentioned Iris Island.
This fusion was revealed not through a close connection in the fusion hunting community, but rather on a public forum. A whistleblower from a private lab revealed in the forum that one of their subjects had escaped their confines in the lab, and has fled to the island. The fusion itself was described as one of a kind, and potentially dangerous. We have verified their claims to be credible, and our sponsor is determined to obtain a description of this rare specimen. However, even as I type this, hired hunters and private collectors are surely already en route to its location to retrieve it.
But you, dear hunters, have an advantage. The whistleblower also revealed one key piece of information, namely that this fusion will likely not be found easily. For whatever reason, the informant suggests that it will only reveal itself to someone presenting a large quantity of information on the local fauna. We do not know how this will be done in practice, but you hunters already have hard-won experience cataloging everything in a large area. We believe you will be the first to collect this information.
In the name of expediency and efficiency, we will be splitting you into 4 teams to approach the island with. The terrain of this island is conducive to this arrangement, as you will soon see. You will join either the red, green, purple, or blue teams, and make your way to the center of the island. The team which records all fusions in their area and the prize fusion first will split the reward equally.
Best of luck on your journey, hunters, this one will really put your exploration skills to the test. #1355989314290450452 <@&1270914214646648927>

...wait, what is this? Our sources said this facility has successfully discovered unique, powerful, and elusive Pokémon during their research, but this looks more like... they just go wandering around and asking for people to help them?
-# This is NOT what I signed up for, they can't expect me to basically become a park ranger and walk around like some peasant interacting with the commoners! UGH! How do I use this damned thing!
*Steps out of the shadows from the corner of the room*
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, you insufferable tramp!
I have been scoping out this place for weeks! You can't just barge in here like this!
You weren't even subtle OR successful! They aren't even here to intimidate, they're out on their most recent investigation!!
I brilliantly opted for sneaking in to see what resources and information I could find in their absence, and then I decided to wait for them to return and hold them up for whatever else they have of value.
-# I didn't find much anyway, I'm betting they have some secret spot where they keep everything, or something...
I shouldn't be surprised that you're so incapable, you've always been difficult!
I'm guessing your recent partner finally gave up on you, since you're once again alone?
Too bad MY partner, Hutch, isn't here to appreciate the irony!
grrrr where are these idiots when I need them 
maybe doing something better, I'd also prefer that than being close to you 😵💫
It fills me with wonder,
the myths and stories of past times. The histories, the mysteries, all of that— It fascinates me. To think that this world is so full of wonder which is still left undiscovered...
Now, do tell me: Do you have any stories of old to tell me? No, no, don't just tell me; write it down, so that generations henceforth can enjoy the wonders of this generation, so that they may know of the
Creative Writing Contest!

POKÉMON OF THE WEEK RAFFLE
<@&1270914214646648927> 5 people participated in the Pokémon of the Week raffle last week! The one lucky winner is...
@modest cloud!
The latest Mr. Mime sprite mr.person__prinplup_enjoyer posted to the gallery was this: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/543958354377179176/1363972614464339979/122.323.png?ex=6807f9fc&is=6806a87c&hm=600b5a9e7917240387c3320ec6cb139aee5c6be4b38e30436e39d6362964cd74&
The next Pokémon of the week is...
Noibat!
Its dex number is 440!
To participate in the weekly raffle, simply post a sprite using Noibat as either the head or the body of the fusion to the #sprite-gallery. In exactly 1 week from now, a winner will be picked randomly and given the POTW Raffle Winner role, and another Pokémon will become the new Pokémon of the Week! If you'd like to discuss and brainstorm your POTW sprites, use this thread: #1197974573644255343
Attention all employees and guests of PIF!
Before I get to the announcement, I'd like to thank Ms. Lusamine for so graciously entrusting ME with organizing this event and leaving me in charge of the Aether Foundation Pokémon reserve. You've made the right choice, Ms. Lusamine!
-# Maybe while she's so busy with all these fools from Rainbow Rocket, I'll finally be able to put my brilliant plans into action, and no bunch of stupid kids will be able to stop me this time...
...So, where were we?
Ah, yes. Due to the merger of our teams into a single powerful organization, we found ourselves in need of more non-fused Pokémon to train and examine, so I, the gracious FABA, allow you to assist me in this task! ✨ Especially now with the addition of more than 60 new specimens from the Hoenn region, how exciting! Of course, we could ask Archie and Maxie, our original leaders from Hoenn, for help, but since they are so busy fighting over the last donut in the dining area, I was entrusted with the task as the... only capable adult in this blasted facility.
It is as follows: we are looking for the new base specimens for the Aether Foundation Pokémon reserve! Do not worry your pretty little heads about it, though, as all Pokémon you are about to donate to us will be well taken care of, and none of the fusing experiments we are about to put them through will hurt them. Promise ||🤞||
And with that, I announce...
🥼 Faba's Custom Base Research Contest! 🥼
In order to participate, you must follow the rules:
- No animation
- Must be in gen 5 style
- No AI
- Must be made after the announcement
- All contest rules from the pinned doc apply
- Max 3 entries
- No collabs
- All Pokémon must be in IF
Upload the sprites to the Google Drive: Link
The Aether Foundation reserve will be open until <t:1746824400:R>. Do not let us down! Everyone is free.
-# And I'll go snatch that donut while no one's watching...
<@&1270914214646648927>
you saw nothing 
<@&734833821429661816>

Also we'll do movies in a sec, I'm dealing with a personal matter
<@&734833821429661816> we'll be doing Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea in 12 minutes! Be there or be 🟦
also sorry for the 20 minute double ping 
Hello <@&1270914214646648927>, I require your help. it's time for...
SPRITEDOKU WEEK 25!
This Grid's Theme: The Darkest Day.
The Darkest Day is upon us. We need your help to contextualize what this monstrous creature would look like, and these are some of the traits we have found that it could have.
Your bonus this week is for at least 2 sprites of yours to contain flowers, as we have found that may help in our cause.
You have until 7:00 PM EST on Friday May 9th to submit your grids. Unfortunately, we are still working on the current plans for judging, but we appreciate everyone who uses these templates as inspiration and will do our best to fix it within this grid to make sure that we can bring you the best experience possible.
As always, if you need any help on either 'Doku, feel free to reach out and share your work in either #dex-entries-discussion , the corresponding Sprite Channels and threads, and most of all #1210021946105004052 Good luck and happy spriting! 
death to you Yanmagma!
Transmitting event data:
<@&1270914214646648927>
Hello, Writers of Infinite Fusion. My associate, Turo, and I, come bearing a challenge for you. We both pursue information, yet our fields take us in two different directions. So while we are here managing your events in place of your staff, we decided we would provide you with TWO Dexdokus. Or as the normal overseer of this event would put it:
DEXDOKU GRID 8 AND 9!
Both of these grids will be themed around the same concept: Paradoxes. My grid will be themed around the strength and wisdom of the past.
Data incomplete. I shall have a grid as well, focused on the fluidity and possibility of the future.
Yes... that as well. We have chosen Pokémon from your time that interest us based on our studies.
We simply must have the opportunity to study these specimens up close. An exchange is offered.
You may choose which one you wish to fill, both grids will be judged during this event and two winners will be chosen. If you wish to do both, you would be allowed, but only one of your grids would be eligible to win.
However, regardless of the winner, research assistants who complete both grids shall be rewarded. I shall innovate a fusion for each applicant, in the form of a sprite of their choice.
You have until 11:59 PM on Wednesday, May 7th to make sure you are on the record as participating in Dexdoku, with revisions and late entries/finalizations being accepted until the afternoon of Friday, May 9th, where the results will be announced that night. We look forward to the knowledge you have to share, especially your knowledge of your history.
Impress us with your boundless potential.
Oh and by the way... this won't be the last time we visit this channel.
End Transmission.
Alert to all Dexdoku Participants: The data within my previous example appears to have been corrupted. Please disregard and use this reference instead:
Welcome my children
A simple yet very important reminder that a tournament in which you are to showcase your strength, your worth, will be happening soon on https://play.pokeathlon.com/. Show us what you're made of!
|| <@&734833821429661816> ||
<@&734833821429661816>
Tch. Timezones are confusing, so I'll do us both a solid and gives you a timestamp!
<t:1745694059:R>
So bring your best teams, but it won't matter - I'll crush you and everything you care about all the same!
And in case you need a reminder of the format, it's this one - [Gen 7] IF Dex Doubles OU
And before you ask, "Wasn't this mean to be earlier?"
I already said timezones are confusing!
Battles have started!
Congrats to @pliant rose for winning the tournament...
and I guess also for besting us in battle, or something.

~~if some of you were curious ~~
Hmm...
As I was kidnapping random Johto citizens and shoving them into Voids (Wormholes),one guy had this open on his phone and I decided to take over.
Anyway, help me build my army to take over Johto by turning these concept arts into sprites!
You have till <t:1746288000:R> to help me or you'll be sucked into the Void as well. Insert maniac laughter
No rules apply, do whatever you want fair or unfair but help me or perish.
Check out the concept art here:
The plates were not enough, I have failed in my quest to defeat Arceus
Despite the eagerness to help, the plate holder fusions that my researchers found weren't strong enough... After all, most of them weren't fully evolved... Can I ask you to help them reach their full potential? Can you-
FINISH THE LINE: VOLO TAKEOVER 

Like a friend of mine used to say in the distant past of Hisui:
With so many lines, there's bound to be gaps.
Yes that's right to help me defeat Arceus you will be helping with filling the blanks replacing the pesky autogens 
The themes are simple:
- You either make fusions with Giratina or Arceus, with so many soldiers by my side, I will let Arceus have its army as well

- Or you find me more Monotypes, they are the key to the power of the plates
The #Monotype Team might be able to help you.

Usual rules apply:
- Read the classic [event info](#1260003758256160828 message) (They might be updated for the next FtL week);
- Only fusions happening naturally are allowed (No Charizard/Mudkip since their evolution levels contradict each other)
- Joke/Reference alts are obviously excluded;
- Any fusion that already has a custom sprite will be excluded;
- Collabs are allowed
; - We are limiting entries by 2 per spriter.

Here is the submission form
The deadline for submissions is <t:1747000740:R>

This event is judged and includes ranks as well as feedback for who wishes for it:
For this edition the spriters who helped me round up the plates will be allowed to see and comment the submissions but only if they so choose, I will translate their words into feedback and take into account their preferences for the ranking 
Finally the Top 6 will be an open poll here for everyone to decide 
All feedback will be given in the form of bullet points, but I can elaborate as much as needed in the corresponding thread if necessary 

"What about the new Hoenn pokemon?" Yes none of them are in the packs yet, but you can take the line from the gallery!
If you need more information or have any question, you can come in the Finish the Line Thread:

<@&1270914214646648927>
You all have impressed me thus far with your dedication to your work. You have created many powerful fusions for Team Rainbow Rocket. However, my intelligence has told me that there is an even more efficient task force in this world of yours, capable of creating over 50 fusions in the span of three days.
These efficient Spriters have reached a level of such cooperation that they even organize themselves, managing workloads and checking each other for errors. Putting together the potential of many is how you produce a huge power... That's what an organization is... That's the strength of an organization!
The “Theme Blitz” is perfect for the goals of Team Rainbow Rocket, so all are called to take part in this next task. I have provided you two charts to fill. The first chart is themed to create fusions fit for a Team Rainbow Rocket admin. In your local terms, it is the Villain Blitz. The second chart is themed to create fusions fit for a Team Rainbow Rocket grunt to wield. As you are more numerous, the empty spaces are more numerous. It is the Grunt Blitz.
Once, a long time ago, your Blitz Admin had two themes at once. It was called a Double Blitz. I believe it is time to reinstate such a custom.
It's time for the Double Blitz! 
This week's themes are Villain and Grunt.
If you wish to participate in this assignment, be sure you understand the rules pinned in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1197396047434088518. You have until the end of your Wednesday, whenever it is for you, to get your sprites into the gallery. The results will be posted on Thursday. <@&1270914214646648927>

Downloading Event Data...
Data received. Proceed with Transmission.
Hello, people of Infinite Fusions. We seek knowledge on how these odd forms of modern Pokémon you refer to as "Fusions" function, so despite our research normally guiding us in two different directions, we have put our differences aside to bring you...
A Pokédex Entry Contest!
We seek your utmost expertise in regards to these fusions, and as such, we will determine the winner based on creativity, readability, and correctness. Entries will be sorted into one of four tiers, but only one can claim top tier, so please be sure to properly read through the following archive containing the rules: #dex-entries-discussion message
The winner of the contest will be granted the Event Winner Role, and will have their submission pinned within your #dex-entries-discussion channel as an example for your fellow researchers.
This theme was decided upon by our leader, Giovanni, who determined that these modern Pokémon would correspond well to the specialties of Turo and I. The file he provided also claims this theme will "Screw those incompetent grunts' heads on straight to make sure they know what's right." To quote him directly.
Included with the file are the designated Poké Pages we will be using for this event. Our research of your server indicates that Poké Pages are used to specify rules regarding confusing information of the Pokémon you write for, so we request you read carefully and thoroughly. The included files contain information for The famous conflicted history of Cubone/Marowak
And the pinnacle of future innovation, Mewtwo.
You have until <t:1746392400:F> to submit your entries, as our archives can only process so many forms before we must clear out data. If you wish your entry to be read for this contest, please submit here:
As this contest is determined separately from how your staff manages your Pokédex, this submission only applies for the purposes of our data. You must submit your writing to the regular form for your world in #dex-entries-submissions should you wish them to be uploaded to your Pokédex.
If you're entering a Pokédex entry for a contest, submit it with this form!
ALL POKÉDEX ENTRIES MUST FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:
Should be 2 sentences or so.
Between 100 and 250 characters long.
No grammatical/syntactical errors.
Nothing that breaks the PIF Server rules.
Should make sense in-universe. No direct references to other media, etc.
Yo...
Best of luck to you all. We eagerly await the knowledge that you shall provide.
Given your history, our hopes for you are high. Do not let us down.
End Transmission
Hello, grunts. Listen carefully.
We'll be postponing tomorrow's Singles tournament to <t:1745877600:f> , apologies for the inconvinience.
Good evening, denizens of this server!
A humble reminder of your chance to show your Truths in a test of battle! Show up to https://play.pokeathlon.com/ to test how strong your Ideals are! I can't wait to see which Pokémon enslaver comes out on top!
|| <@&734833821429661816> ||
It seems that TrainManAnime has bested me and my "colleagues" in combat.
Congratulations to the strongest trainer here.
@steep viper I believe you've earned these.
@unreal mirage has awarded @steep viper 100 grunt points!
Listen up grunts! <@&734833821429661816> Cyrus, sir has an important announcement to make so you should all listen well.
My fellow Rainbow Rocket members
It fills me with great pride to see @sage dove has helped so many of you see our shared purpose, and I am pleased with how many of you have shown your loyalty and joined our cause as a Team Rainbow Rocket grunt.
I come to you bearing exciting news: our glorious hour is nearly here. Soon, we will embark to a perfect world, without spirit or strife, that we have the power to mold ourselves. The opportunity to start anew is upon us!
I must call upon you, my loyal grunts, to ensure that we can take this new world as our own within the day, and thus I must task those of you willing to assist our cause with an important task: We must quickly increase our forces with new powerful fusions fit for the new world.
I have taken the liberty of scouting ahead and finding some suitable fusions for our conquest, you will find them in the attached drive link. Our takeover is <t:1746046800:R>, so you will only have until then to submit your creations to the drive before we must begin our march to Spear Pillar.
The distortion world has strange effects on fusions, meaning they must also follow all of these rules:
- we have limited space available in our caravan to the new world, so only one entry per person.
- No collabs, this fusion must be one that you have raised and trained yourself.
- All other standard contest rules apply such as no art theft, no use of AI, no NSFW, ect. We must not allow any dishonor into the new world.
Please send your brave warriors to this submission drive before the time limit expires.
Now go, bring glory to Team Rainbow Rocket! May our hearts beat as one!
(Oh, and do keep an eye out for any RR rebels submitting fusions, they may be attempting to sabotage our plans. Stay on your toes)
Cyrus's excitement outpaces his sense. Allow me to make some things clear. The title of this event format is:
Speed Spriter
This is a brief contest. Create the highest-quality sprites you can, as one of them will be placed above the others as the winner.
* BZZZ * Your Holo Caster is vibrating. * BZZZ *
It seems it's a message from Lysandre.
Greetings, trainers all around the world.
This world is severely lacking in beauty (with few exceptions, such as Diantha). It cannot go on like this!
But even if I want to put an end to this ugliness as soon as possible, I will still grant you the possibility to change the fate of your world.
Here's my final challenge before I decide whether to or not to destroy it with the ultimate weapon of Kalos:
The Hat Contest
You have until <t:1747864740:F> to make a custom hat. With those, maybe this world will finally reach a state of beauty!
Here are the rules:
- Must follow the #custom-outfits-submissions rules.
- Must be made after this announcement.
- File must be named "hat_contest by yourDiscordID" & "hat_trainer_contest by yourDiscordID", exemple "hat_contest by ._term.".
-# * If you do two entry, please name them "hat_contest_1 by yourDiscordID" & "hat_contest_2 by yourDiscordID" - No collabs.
- *Max 2 hats per spriter.
- Submit here : https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/mobile/folders/1ojPU_okrLOSethklx56bctPVddJkveSf
Good luck, and may you put your fierce passion to good use with this event!
* BZZZ * Your Holo Caster shuts off, it seems that's the end of the transmission. * BZZZ *
As you question yourself about the veracity of this message, you notice that everyone around you is in state of distress.
It seems that everyone got the same message at the same time, which makes you, sadly, think that this isn't a fake message.

Attention <@&734833821429661816>
Our leader has a message for you.
Attention, loyal Team Rainbow Rocket Members,
I have an announcement to make. To start, I would like to thank you for your dedication to this organization. You have poured your talents into this group, and the result is that we are stronger than ever. Your talents in creating, exploring, and discovering exceed my original expectations. Thanks to your efforts, we have gathered more than enough fusion data and powerful Pokémon. You have contributed 1,427 Pokémon for the reserve forces commanded by our powerful branch leaders and 1,419 Pokémon for the direct use of our grunts. More data about your contributions can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Kw_17uA0xDq-ta3LYMS23kqc5iNVVI9Mby9cOb4O_Cg/edit?gid=746689798#gid=746689798 Your other assistance in gathering data, raising our power, and rallying our forces together has been inestimable.
However, as some of you have noticed, we have faced some internal strife, most notably the loss of our valuable prisoners, the Pokémon Infinite Fusion server’s admins. Their evil leader, @native ocean, has been working behind the scenes this entire time. I did not think I would ever find a leader more villainous than I… Frog’s admins have defeated too many of mine for me to maintain order here. I must announce our tactical withdrawal.
Facing such opposition… For some reason, it makes me feel nostalgic. Well, one must acknowledge one's defeat before he can move on. Despite the protests of my admins… Yes, you have won this battle. However, you have not won the war. I shall step aside this time, but remember, my Team Rainbow Rocket will never fail! Never forget that! To all my loyal underlings, stay vigilant, and work hard. I hope we meet again…
Team Rainbow Rocket… is blasting off again! 
-# ... 👀...
... Are they gone? Finally, we're free from this Rainbow Rocket buffoonery.
So uh, about those fusions. We may have studied that phenomenon... a little too closely. 
These splicers hold untapped potential! Just think of what we can unearth in Hoenn with these! We need to dive deeper into the study of these fusions!
BWAHAHA, I like the way you think! Now that the rest of the Rainbow Rocket crew has has set sail for new shores, we can continue to dig up data on the fauna of this region!
Before we give back this server to its usual handlers, we have one last mission for you, spriters of the server. We're proud to announce the grand return of the one and only:
<@&734833821429661816>
Mergemay 2025!
This is a yearly event similar to Inktober, where each day of the month will have a prompt. The goal is to create a sprite using that theme as inspiration each day, filling the chart as you go!
The prompts will be revealed in batches at the start of each week. Feel free to work on previous or future prompts, but please do not post the sprites until the start of their respective day! You're free to post them later, though!
To participate, simply create your sprite inspired by that day's prompt, post it to #1050404143807873157 , and later, #sprite-gallery with Mergemay + that day and prompt in the post! E.g., Pikachu/Bulbasaur (25.1) Mergemay Day 1, Cool Prompt
You can find the Mergemay chart below and in this drive, with the 1st week of prompts already filled in!
-# A color variation is available in the drive, too.
Please also notice the extra prompt(s) at the bottom; these are alt prompts. If you're struggling with inspiration for a particular prompt, simply swap it out for an alt prompt! You can only use each one once, so use them wisely! A new one will drop every week alongside that week's prompts!
-# The prompts were submitted by our most loyal grunts (you guys) and selected by our very own <@&641801785618726956>s! The chart was drawn by the talented @serene pagoda, @prime lily, @maiden laurel, and @forest bane! please direct any questions to @tribal sandal.
I'm not these 2, but there'll also be a post in #1149373303669145751 for Mergemay up soon

It's time for the Theme Blitz! 🐲
**This week's theme is Neglected Dragons, submitted by @subtle laurel! **
Not sure what the Theme Blitz is? Here's the short of it: Spriters work together to complete all fusions between a selected set of Pokémon before the end of a relatively brief period of time. If you're interested, make sure you come over to https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1197396047434088518 and read the pins. You have until the end of Wednesday to get your sprites in the gallery. The results will be posted on Thursday. <@&1270914214646648927>
Last time on Prize Hunters...
The hunters, lead by Team Purple, have made their way to the prismatic spring on the center of Iris Island. There, they are approached by an unstable fusion of Palkia and Porygon-Z, Palkgon-Z. It reads through their devices and minds for data on our world's fusions, and with the power of this newfound information, and possibly this island's unique energy, it creates a portal to a constructed world.
Based on it's telepathic messages, we believe that entirely new fusions are being used to populate its world on the other side of the portal. Our sponsor will richly reward you for records of these artificial combinations. Spurred on by this incentive and sheer curiosity, the hunters step through the portal...
~~ ~~
As you step through the ominous-looking portal, a shiver like a light static shock emanates from where you and the portal touch. Instantly, you feel dread and regret at your decision as you look around, and see open space with no sign of an atmosphere around you. This feeling quickly fades, however, when you realize you are breathing normally.
Shifting fragments of what looks like parts of Iris Island float in the space around you, but they seem to occasionally change in color, shape, and material based on no recognizable pattern. Other fragments of matter, which can only be described as looking like a physical texture glitch, circle the fragments. And yes... you see fusions. Some of them appear to be running into walls, randomly changing in proportions, or even T-posing... but they do look like flesh-and-blood Pokemon fusions at least...? You pause in your observations as your devices all alert you of an incoming communication.
"Hunters, can you hear me? I was worried because I lost connection with your devices for a second, but it looks like they are back online. It's the darndest thing though... when I ping your devices, the latency is exactly 0. I'm not sure how that works, but it's pretty convenient to be able to communicate in real time.
I reached out to our sponsor, and yes, they are ravenously curious about the fusions you might be seeing there. I think they won't be very picky with rewarding you, either, so this is a great chance for you. Record as many fusions as possible, but come back at once if you deem it no longer safe."
Jumping experimentally, you find that gravity is more of a suggestion rather than a rule here. You should be able to freely explore this strange digital world.
Best of luck! The portal entrance is here: #1355989314290450452 message

So, it seems that while we were, well, kidnapped, the Rainbow Rocket members replacing us decided to hold a Pokédex Entry Contest. (This was a very interesting thing to come back to.
) Despite the fact that the contest was decided upon by a crime lord and administered by two robots... Well, we can’t exactly say no to more Pokédex Entries, can we? We’ve graded and judged your submissions, and now it’s time for the
🏆 Custom Pokédex Contest Results! 📇
First of all, all of us Unown would like to give you <@&734833821429661816> a big thanks for participating in this writing-focused contest!
And now, the results! Entries were placed into tiers based on their quality and correctness. The rubric for grading was as follows:
C-Tier: The entry contained one or more grammar or spelling error, and/or it did not follow the guidelines required for PIF Pokédex submissions.
B-Tier: The entry was free from spelling errors, grammar errors, and rule breaches, but the way it was phrased resulted in one or more elements of the content being unclear.
A-Tier: The entry was free from spelling errors, grammar errors, and rule breaches, and it was clear and easy to read. All A-Tier submissions are looked at as candidates for the winning position.
Only one person can claim the top rank, though. Our winner this time crafted an entry that imagined the sprite in a creative way and described it fluently.
The bubble that POKENAME forms around itself is created by its psychic power. Attempting to disrupt this bubble results in a powerful concussive blast, incapacitating any who are unprepared for this attack.
Congratulations, @fierce walrus, you are the winner!
Your entry will be pinned in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1201260356182483134 as an example to aspiring Pokédex authors.

so without further ado,
Congrats @lethal siren for winning the Loading Screen Contest!
although, there was another envelope attached, give me a second to find it
Huh, it seems that all of these will be featured across PIF and PIF: Hoenn! Congrats to everyone that participated, we appreciate the love and support!
Sorry, gotta make these spotlights quick, we took too long judging 
Speed Spriter: Distortion Spotlights!
Alright, so a spotlight on @silent path's Seaking/Cubone, a small, cute and simple guy that just does everything it sets out to do while breaking our hearts.
Check it, spotlight on @civic widget's Fomantis/Froslass, simple but clean af style of shading, plus it's impressive how many overlapping parts it has that don't get muddled at all! And, it's nicely designed :)
Spotlight on @harsh dagger's Charmeleon/Goodra; Sometimes a solid foundation and excellent use of a dynamic pose is all you need for a perfect fusion!
Also, a spotlight on @arctic crane's Darkrai/Machamp, it was a well done sprite, just didn't meet the criteria of the competition :P
Lastly, a spotlight on @deep rose's Litwick/Litwick, because it's silly and the wavy and floaty design looks adorable and interesting!
no time to announce,
speed spriter: distortion results

btw, quick reminder that both the Hoenn Contest and the Hat Contest close in about a week!
Based on the custom bases that are the base of what this contest was based on, here are the (based) Base Contest Spotlights!
First up, we have @deft imp's Gulpin, It perfectly respects the original Pokémon proportions while being simple enough to be easy to use as a base, with a really nice expression that gives it some dynamism.
Next, @oak citrus's Shiftry (not the last you'll hear of this household name when it comes to base-making) has a nice stance, really good hair and proportions that make using it easy, while bringing unique parts to the table.
Having said that, it should be no surprise that @oak citrus's Wingull is also featured here. To quote a judge quoting another judge, "To me, the most impressive base is one for a Pokémon that is not really known for varied and dynamic angles and that breathes new life and potential into it."
Let's take a step back from Mildnight's bases and shine a spotlight on @woeful gale's Linoone, it respects the size and shape of the Pokémon with a fun, dynamic pose added on top of it!
Last but not least, we have @pliant folio's Baltoy, it's a nice, simple cute sprite that brings fun possibilities for an otherwise less appreciated Pokémon.
