...Anything other than a megastone is worthless to have because I won't use it unless there's an egg to use the shard on. I already said this.

There are future claims and events, but honestly I was just clarifying in case there was confusion.

As the announcement mentioned, we are extending another week so that people still have a chance at getting the bonus prize. All you have to do is defeat a challenge for prizes three out of the four weeks.

Thus, the week you do not battle for prizes is simply for exp, if you even do (or did) it at all.

You can claim a Crystal Shard from the first week's 'non-balm mushroom/mega stone' event item prize, I think Shadow Dragon was referring to that.

Dropping this here for an answer when someone wakes up. XD

Anyway, as long as I have the entirety of the challenge already plotted out in the actual order where all the icky mechanics for battles are placed in my posts and as long as I use the proper team members for each battle, would it be alright if I did them out of order in the RP portion even if it's spread out across multiple posts as long as I keep the actual battle information (including order) in all posts for the challenge? For instance, in this go around, I plan on having Jin face the Gengar during the mirror challenge, which is fifth in the actual order of pokemon to face, but for the RP posts, I want it to be the last one encountered out of the group of eight. As long as I have all the battle details figured out for the other seven battles in advance, would that be alright along with other possible in-RP jumbling?

Since you're doing the mirror challenge, yes, I think that would be fine :0 Those in particular are essentially just single battles, so the order isn't quite as relevant as on the Normal Challenge.

M'kay. ^ _ ^ Just wanted to be sure before getting things too far underway, especially since things are apt to become slightly jumbled anyway. XD

Yeah, no worries, I understand x3 And thank you for asking! I think, especially for Mirror Challenges, the order isn't quite as strict. Thanks again for checking : )

So, if I complete a challenge before tomorrow, it'll count as week one instead of week two?

If I want to use a Crystal Shard, is there anywhere I should post for it and say I've used it?

Would it just be in the "Welcome to the Sharp Shop" or is that only for regular Star Shards?

The Shard Shop is just for Star Shards (which are a different system), but just mentioning it here, or in the ooc, is fine : ) You actually don't really have to mention it if you don't want, but it does help the mods keep track of things if you do. There won't be any negative consequences or anything if you don't, though ^^

Ahh, cool. Just wanted to be sure in case I used it, thanks.

Question:
If a move causes one of the challenges pokemon to flinch, does that count as their first move and then try the second predetermined move the next move they get, or will they try and perform the first move again given the chance?  

[Shadow - Dragon]

I'm not understanding badly poisoned, how does it work? I have 990 HP, normally it would take 61 dam if poisoned

It counts as their first move and they will move on to their second : )

If 61 is how much they'd normally lose, then the first time they would lose 61, the next time they would lose 122 (2 x 61), then 183 (3x61) and so on ^^

Is it okay to fight two at a times? Because i feel it will be quicker when my normal posting speed is one a day, not going to make it in time, i fear.

As long as your fighting them in order i dont see why not. Iv done a few post with 2 or even 3 battles one after another. but iv not done any double battles if that's why you mean so id maybe avoid those until spec's or loona can weigh in.
