March 31

As of April 1st 2020, we are placing a temporary moratorium on Seillib trading pending possible additions & modifications to Seillib and other parts of the game. We are aiming to reopen Seillib by mid-April if possible, but that is merely a goal.

Please be advised that this moratorium does not guarantee any particular outcome, but rather is intended to provide additional time to consider what changes, if any, will be made, without anybody attempting to abuse the current system in the meanwhile. Any unnecessary conflict regarding any of this will be met with severe consequences.

The April Star Shop raffles will begin unimpeded the first week of April. Stay safe!

March 29


This is a multi-part update, so let's get to it!

The Ultimate Eclipse Nerd Competition

Firstly, the player Dahlia is hosting the The Ultimate Eclipse Nerd Competition, taking place April 6–12! You must sign up beforehand by posting on the forum thread in order to participate in this contest. There are a number of wonderful prizes to get, so joining will be worth your while even if you only have a little bit of time to spare!

Additional details may be forthcoming in a future news update.

Community April Event


For two weeks starting April 14th, Pokemon Eclipse will be featuring a community-organized April Event by willing donators, which will be a precursor to the massive Spring Event in May!

New Pokemon released in the April Event will be chosen by donators, who can have some say as to how the event works. The event is themed and centralized around the popular proverb "April showers bring May flowers". Pokemon that fit the event theme could include, for instance:

* "Rainy" Pokemon or Water-type Pokemon in general.
* Thunderstorm-related Pokemon or Electric-type Pokemon in general.
* Weather-related Pokemon in general.
* Easter event Pokemon, or Pokemon fitting an Easter theme, such as Buneary.
* "Budding" Pokemon could be released closer to the beginning of the event.
* As we near the end of the April Event, flower-based Pokemon or fully-blossomed Pokemon could be released. Basically, Pokemon representing Spring.

... And so on. Really, your imagination is the limit, as long as you can justify how it might fit the theme (and we agree with that justification).

If you're interested in donating to include a Pokemon in the upcoming April Event, check out the Donations Guide and/or message Cless for approval of the pick. If you are interested in contributing to the April Event in general; if you have ideas to share; or if you have general questions about the event, message either Dylan or Cless.

Please note that the details of the event are not set in stone, and neither are the mechanics. It remains an early work-in-progress. The mechanics of the event will in part be determined by participating donators, coordinated by the member Dylan. I want to emphasize that although he will coordinate this project and handle some logistics, I am the ultimate authority on any matter in case of a dispute.

Donation Discounts

Shiny Easter Buizel Shiny Hyper Easter Komala Shiny Easter Jigglypuff

Furthermore, previously-released Easter event species (such as EasterBuizel) can be placed in-game for only $12.50 for a limited time! Check the Amount Viewer and use the search functionality to find Easter event Pokemon.

In addition, to celebrate the April Event, less commonly released/wanted species (such as 6th-gen Pokemon like Amaura) will qualify for the discounted $12.50 as well, if approved by Cless. Make sure to ask first, and don't be sad if the answer is no. You'll have a higher chance of being approved if your pick is destined for the April Event (and thus fits thematically somehow), but it isn't a hard requirement. Legendary/Mythical Pokemon, 8th-gen Pokemon, and Pokemon with custom Legacy sprites are excluded.

Upcoming Updates, etc.

First of all, expect another fairly bulky game update in the coming days, in addition to today's ??? DNA overhaul (see below for more).

We have a number of exciting things planned for April in addition to the aforementioned mini-events. That will include a long overdue overhaul of the Star Shop in early April, so if there's anything on Star Shop right now that you want, this is your last chance!

Furthermore, the March exclusive avatars will finally be unveiled soon, and they will be retroactively distributed to all March donators. We're aiming to unveil the April avatars at the same time as the March avatars, which should help get things back on track.

Finally, on a somewhat personal note: I want to apologize again for any delays. I'm still recovering and catching up on everything I've missed. I'm sincerely thankful to the many of you who have been so patient during this time!


March 28: New ??? DNAs!


The pool of Pokemon you can restore from ??? DNAs at the DNA Center has finally been rotated! All prior map, battle, and mine ??? DNA Pokemon are now unobtainable, excluding HyperGalaxyRalts, which temporarily remains available as a Daily Prize ??? DNA Pokemon. Otherwise, Cbox & Daily Prize ??? DNA Pokemon are unchanged. A big thanks to Kora ʕ ʔ for her help in pushing this update forward, as well as designing many of the new sprites!

Stay tuned for more updates in the coming days!


March 27: Pokemon Mansion

Rainbow Latios
The elusive Eon Pokemon RainbowLatios has been spotted at Pokemon Mansion, thanks to Baddy and Toxii! RainbowLatios is capped at 10ig (in-game), meaning it will become unavailable once there are 10 RainbowLatios in the game total. Pokemon Mansion is an Exclusive Legendary Area available for purchase on the Moon Shop. Good luck everybody, and stay tuned for further updates in the coming days!


March 24

Legacy Hyper Primal Rayquaza
The ancient LegacyHyperPrimalRayquaza can now be earned at the Rock Trade-In for 1 month by trading in 1,000,000 rocks of any kinds! Thanks to Dahlia for donating to put it in-game, and thanks to Nonexistent User for creating the sprite!


March 17: Happy birthday Kora!


Happy 22nd birthday to my darling Kora ʕ ʔ, I hope all your birthday wishes come true! ♥

Hyper Galaxy Origin Giratina
To celebrate, I've made HyperGalaxyOriginGiratina available to capture at God's Dream exclusively for the next 2 months or 22ig, whichever comes first! This gorgeous sprite was designed by the birthday girl Kora ʕ ʔ herself! Please note that God's Dream is an exclusive Legendary Area that must be purchased at the Moon Shop for 5,000 Moon Points.

Welcome the wise old Scrambled Eggs, I mean, Dan back to the staff team!


March 10

Message from Cless: A couple of days ago I unexpectedly suffered a major medical emergency. Please don't worry, I'm okay, but I've received a large number of questions from players who are eagerly waiting on me to answer/handle something and are wondering why I suddenly dropped off the face of the earth.

Between staying at the hospital for a long while and now focusing on recovery at home, I haven't been able to do much, and that will likely continue to be the case for at least a few more days. I'm very sorry to anybody who has been waiting on me for anything. Once my condition improves, I'll catch up with everybody as soon as I possibly can. If your inquiry is truly top priority, feel free to resend your message to bump it up the queue. I greatly appreciate everybody's understanding and patience through this challenging time!

March 7


Congratulations to both Dio and Night Shroud on passing their trials!


Message from the Webmaster: As we remain short-staffed, I would humbly request that all players continue to be patient with us and do their parts to be pleasant, positive influences on Pokemon Eclipse.

I ask that you treat one-another with kindness and understanding—or failing that, at least be respectful and don't make anybody's life harder than it needs to be.

As a community—and a home for many—we should all do our part to keep Pokemon Eclipse prosperous and fun, especially during this period of transition.

On another note, if you're interested in potentially donating for a Galaxy avatar or for a Galaxy Pokemon to go in-game, and would like to see how it might look first, feel free to PM Kora/Celeste with details of what you would like to see. Note that she won't reply to your PM directly—Cless will forward the resulting sprites to you when or if needed. We can also do variants such as Prism and Inferno Pokemon as avatars.
