UPCOMING EVENTS AND HOLIDAYS
The following will be taking place over the month of February only, and may or may not be accompanied with a mod-run log. These include game-wide events, player plots and holidays celebrated around the map. Participation is encouraged but by no means required.

PROPOSAL DAY
February 14
Proposal day is upon us, marking the beginning of the wedding season! Also a holiday centered around romance, where elaborate gifts and fancy dates are a must. Even with the rebuilding effort, Union citizens expect to take some time to at least enjoy this as a break from the routine. Have YOU proposed to your soul mate yet? If not, now’s a good day to do it! There will be a general mingle log available for this holiday going up on 2/14.

ENEMIES OUTSIDE THE GATE
February 27 - March 5
There will be a small event in late February as Union rebuilds and assesses the situation. This will have opportunities for some scouting and exploration, as well as interaction with NPCs in various cities. More information will be made available as we get closer to this event. This will be a smaller scale event.

ONGOING EVENTS
These mini events have no active expiration date, and will continue until they are resolved, and may or may not have a lasting impact on the game as a whole. These mini-events can be initiated by any players in the game through a plot request (submitted here), and may garner the attention of an event-specific NPC, so be on guard!

UNITED
After the attacks on Union, the city works to rebuild. A number of posts will be made over the course of this month that will deal with the fallout of the event and Union’s response.

MAP EXPAND
With the recent signal expansion, there are still many areas yet to be explored! Trainers seeking new discoveries or experiences are encouraged to check them out!
CURRENT AREAS UNEXPLORED: Frozen Delta, Western Coast, The Great Crater

SWARM WATCH!
A swarm will appear in a location for two weeks. Pokémon in a swarm act as an Ultra Common to that area and scale with their level. Requests for a swarm Pokémon can be made in the Map Post for that particular week. Players are not required to make a post in the swarm area, but are highly encouraged. Shiny chaining does apply to swarms, and works the same way as in other areas. Swarm Pokémon are not eligible for blurbs and will follow the general behavior provided.

Luvdisc | VERDANT FOREST (Old Rod)
Level 3
Luv is in the air, and the Luvdisc population seems to have taken the idea to heart. Until Proposal Day the swarm will linger in the waterways of the Verdant Forest. They are obsessive matchmakers, trying to get anyone who’ll listen to accept romance into their life.
AVAILABLE 02/01 - 02/15

CHANSEY | UNION
Level 5
A large number of Chansey have arrived in Union from all over the land. They’ve come to help out and are not taking no for an answer. Seemingly young, the entire gaggle of them is made up of busybodies that just can’t leave the suffering to suffer in silence. They’ll push aid on anyone and everyone they can get to.
AVAILABLE 02/16 - 02/29
