FOUL PLAY
January-April 2026 || TL;DR:
- Team exploration event
- Plot relevant
- Explore the foggy depths of Ketheran, and find the source of a cosmic-type invasion
All things considered, the rangers did their job pretty well. It was exceedingly rare for a pokémon to attack humans, especially in or near more civilized areas. Some types - like fighting, or dragon - were more prone to violence, but as mentioned the rangers kept them at bay well enough. Oh, there was the occasional hiker, eaten alive by a garchomp, but it was really on them for venturing so far out without a team capable of defending them. In general, the system worked.
But there had been a notable increase in number of incidents in the last few years. Through no fault of anyone - there was a new type in town. One even more destructive than the others and that, unlike even dragons, didn’t seem content in merely being left alone, out in the wildest parts of the regions. Cosmic pokémon caused rangers all sorts of issues, not least because they simply wouldn’t _let_ themselves get relocated, seemingly drawn to more populated areas, to attack.
Still, nobody expected an attack of that magnitude. Not one, not two, but multiple dozen cosmic types rampagned through a small town in northern Mindara. The League and Rangers were called, the situation, handled, but still. No one felt like they could ignore the screeching of the Ketheran rangers anymore, a small team of eccentric, mostly meteorologists who monitored the abandonned wasteland. For months, now, they claimed the cosmic population in Ketheran had been growing out of control. It was only a matter of time until there were other attacks, and given the type matchup, it wasn’t out of the question that they would get to the capital, Aurephos.

PROMPT -
Things are looking quite dire. The population of cosmic-type pokémon in Ketheran is growing completely out of control! You boss calls you, and it’s now _your job_ to figure out how, why, and stop them/catch their leader (depending on the boss).
RULES & HOW TO PLAY -
Due to the nature of the event, it is recommended to participate in teams. You can use the Characters category to look for teammates. I recommend teams of 2-4 characters/people (similar to missions), but the absolute maximum number of characters in a single team is 8.
- If you prefer going alone, you can (some XP reqs might just be a little daunting). Just make a team of 1.
- Multiple characters that belong to the same person can go together in the same team.
- A single player can have multiple characters split between multiple different teams.
- I recommend using the opportunity to team up with other people’s characters, for interactions!
Once you have decided on a team, create a thread in Eclipse > Event Rolls. You should:
- Make the title of the thread the name of your team (yes, your team needs a name, or else you can’t participate).
- Each teammate should post, saying which character(s) they’re sending (can bring multiple characters per person). Each character needs to bring between 1 and 6 pokémon with them. You can only bring pokémon that are reffed + named.

- Once everyone has posted the form, ping @Staff and someone will give you your first roll!
- Due to the inner workings of uh. Everything. Being a lil complex. I’ve made a helpful document you can consult for more information on how those event rolls work, how to get more, and how to make progress in the event!
EVENT SPECIFICS -
- You’re going to Ketheran, therefore can expect to be facing mostly poison, ice, steel and of course cosmic type wild pokémon.
- The air in Ketheran is highly toxic, therefore your trainer should probably be wearing protective gear (mask and clothes) in your submissions (once you get there).
- Some steel- and poison- type halfwilds may be immune, but not all of them.
- For the same reason, you should be bringing mostly steel- and/or poison- type pokémon that are immune to the toxic gases, or pokémon with special abilities making them immune.
- I have introduced a new held item for pokémon, the Cleanse Tag, that grants immunity to poison-type attacks and poison (the status effect). You can buy it in the shop for $2000_, but also get a free one after completing step 0 of the event. You should give one to non poison or steel mons you want to bring. I mean do you have to? No. But c’mon… Don’t be mean. ^_^
- This event has 7 steps total (0-6). Only steps 0, 1 and 2 are fully finalized as of now, but I’ll keep chipping away at them in the background. They’ll all be done soon. I hope.
- The further into the event you get, the higher the XP requirements, but the higher the rewards…
- You can reroll anything of course, but if I were you I’d save my forget-me-nots for later steps…
- You can view teams and total XP earned in this document.
Good luck!
