Halloween Trick-Or-Treat
Hello all! Happy October, and upcoming holidays!
For this, our first Halloween, we wanted to do something fairly light and fun. So, we're doing a Trick-Or-Treat and Battle event between the regions!
We've also made several Event Items postable during the event. Your character does not need to be in a Haunted House, or even participating, in order to post for these items. They are post anywhere, and are listed below.
While this event is in effect you may post for:
Sweet Hearts = 10 posts
Rare Candies = 20 posts
Paper Lantern = 35 posts
Rage candybars = 35 posts
Sweet Incense = 35 posts
Please note, though, that Pickup does not effect the post count for these items.
*** Also note that you can post for Area Specific items in the Haunted Houses. Please see below, in the FAQ, for more information : ) ***
As well, each region has been giving a 'Haunted House' attraction in one of their creepier locations. These haunted houses are filled with spooky tours, attractions, and various activities. In order to get to the Haunted Houses, you may travel normally or be teleported. There are various Mediums across the land, trying to help with all the increased activity. Psychics, Hex Maniacs, and others wander around with their pokemon; you may NPC one, and have them teleport you to one of the Haunted Houses.
They may not be used to travel elsewhere, however, you may be teleported back to your original location when you leave the Haunted House.
This is purely to make it easier for people to get to the event, and should not be used to travel between other locations.
The Haunted House Locations are:
Kanto: Lavender Town
Johto: Ecruteak
Hoenn: Mt Pyre
Sinnoh: Old Chateau
Unova: Strange House
Kalos: Haunted House
Now, while at the Haunted House, there are a few things you may do. Further explanation is below; if you have any questions, please check the FAQ in the next post. If your answer is not there, or the wording is not clear and you're still confused, please feel free to ask for further explanation in the Questions, Comments, and Concerns thread.
Haunted House Activities
There are a few things to do at the Haunted Houses. Along with several different attractions and various locations to explore, you may also Trick-Or-Treat and Battle.
Trick-Or-Treating may be done once a week, while visiting the Haunted Houses, regardless of how many you visit. To do this, roll a 10 sided die. The corresponding number below is the prize you get!

Battling is a bit more complex. There are two types of challenges to choose from.
When your character arrives at a Haunted House, please quote a mod and indicate, in rp context or in the quote, which Challenge your character will be attempting.
They may attempt both challenges, if you want, however, prizes will only be rewarded once a week for one of them. The other is simply for exp.
If your character completes one of the challenges, congratulations! They may receive eight of the food items listed below, and an additional prize.
The additional prize is essentially dependent on how many times your character has completed a Challenge for prizes. The first time you complete one of these challenges you will get an event item of your choice (excluding Balm Mushrooms and Megastones)
The next week, if you complete one of these challenges you will get x2 TMs of choice and a Lucky egg.
The third time you complete one of these challenges you will get one TM of choice, x2 Big Mushrooms, and a hold item of choice.
If you complete a challenge all three weeks, you get a bonus prize of One event item of choice, a paper lantern, x5 rare candies, and a lucky egg.
The two challenge types are:
Normal:
The pokemon will start at level 15, and increase by 5 as you progress through them.
So the first one will be level 15, the next 20, the next 25, and so on.
This must be done consecutively, however, you will be allowed to heal your pokemon after the first 5.
You may use healing items, however, you are only allowed three "regular" potions.
If your first pokemon faints, you may use two more, however, if three of your pokemon faint, the pokemon will flee, and you'll have to restart. We don't want to make the challenges too difficult, but there should still be a challenge.

Mirror Mode:
The pokemon's level will match the pokemon set out against them.
Their HP will also be the same, and the exp gained from them will be whatever their mirrored level falls under. For instance, if the pokemon sent out is level 14, the pokemon will be level 14, and, if defeated, will yield 10 exp.
You do not have to battle them consecutively, however, you also may not switch pokemon DURING a battle.
You may, however, switch pokemon between battles, but keep in mind that if your pokemon faints, you've lost, so choose carefully, and make sure to strategize!
To help for those that have lower level pokemon and more limited movesets, we've added in that you will be guaranteed the first move for each battle.
