Summer 2024 Holiday Hills!
Embedded Files
Spring Holiday Hills will end on July 31st at 11:59 PM EST!
Extensions given out for this Holiday Hills will end on August 7th at 11:59 PM EST!
☀ Radiant Fields ☀
Just when the portals to the Ultra Space Wilds had suddenly vanished, a new gateway has appeared! Is it just me or is it getting really hot all of a sudden...?
A rip in the fabric of space has been forced open, leading into a land of beautiful golden fields. In the distance, you can make out other geographical features -- there are trees, hills and mountains, and even what appears to be a fresh dirt path leading who knows where. A pale, yellow-white sky hangs above, stretching as far as the eye can see. It is uncomfortably warm here, with the oppressive heat beating down upon all who pass the threshold. Plumes of smoke rising over the treetops coalesce to form dark, ashy clouds -- the only sign of any darkness for miles.
This dungeon isn't a manifestation brought on by Chronos for celebrations nor of the mischievous Ruler of the Distortion World nor the Mistress of Space herself. This is something new entirely. Despite its beauty, you know better than to expect that there won't be dangers ahead. The GCSF, with the backing of the other adventuring guilds across the Great Ocean, have sanctioned explorations into this new land and the guild expects its members to be bringing their best! Get out there and see what you can discover!
[ The images below are loosely for inspiration on how to depict the dungeon. They are optional, so feel free to come up with your own interpretations! ]
🌟 Recruitable Pokemon 🌟
Child of Light Larvesta | Sun Disk Yamask | Solar Cell Rotom | Shining Radiance Jangmo-o | Campfire Snom | Sun Eater Seviper
Solrock | Castform | Litleo | Vulpix (Kanto) | Fletchling
There are 6 special Seasonal Variants in this dungeon!
If you recruit any Seasonal Variant Pokemon, their feral design must be somewhat similar to the reference! If you wish to deviate slightly from its design, you must post it in the #design-check channel for approval. However, once they evolve, their design is up to you!
For more on Variants, see the Potions & Variants page!

💛 You are free to depict the Dungeon using aesthetics from other, existing places on the Dungeon List or you can make up your own environment like a traditional Holiday Hills Dungeon using the moodboard above as inspiration!
💛 Note that despite the freedom to depict any Dungeon as the primary environment in this Holiday Hills, recruits are only rolled from the above Pokemon and you still cannot use your Monthly Items on these Dungeons!
💛 Like a regular dungeon, the Holiday Hills Dungeon is completed in Feral Form!
💛 Up to 4 characters belonging to teams may be present!
💛 Poke and Candy rewards are capped at maximum 7 characters shown (ex.: 4 player characters and 3 NPCs)!
💛 There is no Difficulty Level for Holiday Hills so characters of all levels are welcome!
💛 No levels are gained in this dungeon and no items can be brought in (though Poke Radars can be used after a piece is graded)!
💛 Please note that for a character to count for rewards, at least a full headshot (or equivalent amount of the character) must be visible. We always encourage you to do your best! The restrictions may be tightened if these rules are abused. Please put genuine effort into your pieces and try not to spam out rushed work! For more information, see Additional & Updated Restrictions.
📈 Completion Milestone Bonus! 📈
📈 Completion Milestone Bonus! 📈
For this Holiday Hills, we're adding in a small bonus for all members after a certain number of total dungeon submissions has been reached!
After 35 Radiant Fields dungeons have been completed, all submissions for the remainder of the event (including Tasks and RP) will gain a flat bonus of +50 Candy!
The bonus may increase as we receive more submissions as well!
This is the first time we're trying something like this, and so this system may or may not return for future Holiday Hills events and the flat bonus may increase if it does! We highly suggest trying to pace yourself, and to not rush or overwork yourself in pursuit of this goal. This section will be periodically updated as submissions come in.

💥 A Stranger in Paradise?! 💥
[ Affinity Event ]
A strange creature has appeared at the Radiant Fields, and they are not happy!
Whilst exploring the fields on his own, Odhran has chanced upon a lion-like entity called Radiant Sun Solgaleo. We have yet to ascertain the nature of this new Pokemon (?), but their presence has dramatically increased the potential danger in exploring the dungeon!
It's believed that something has sent them into a frenzy, and they're not in their right mind at this time. The guild leaders are split on whether or not there's a chance we can talk them down, but with how agitated there are, force may need to be employed here...
For the remainder of the month, Solgaleo can be encountered in the Radiant Fields!
If you feature your character(s) facing Solgaleo, you can choose to take a peaceful, neutral, or hostile stance against them. You may select your attitude towards Solgaleo when submitting! Depending on how the members of the GCSF treat them, the outcome of the event may differ!
❗ Note: If you are not featuring Solgaleo in your submission, be sure to select neutral or N/A for your attitude!

🌟 Holiday Hills Task Prompts 🌟
🌟 Holiday Hills Task Prompts 🌟
These event prompts are for characters in Human/Gijinka form (unless otherwise stated)!
Prompts done with ferals won’t count for Candy but can be submitted for Poke!
01 | Foundation Fundamentals
While exploring these new lands, there's no better time than to exercise your experience in working with the guild! Bounty Hunters, Rescuers, and Wayfarers all have their roles to play when it comes to uncharted lands, and so let's get to it and show what the guild is made of!
Depict your team members doing something that would be typical of their branch in any Radiant Fields dungeon piece!
For this month only, you can link any completed any Radiant Fields dungeon piece that shows your team deliberately putting their skills to work in the #inventory channel to claim 1 Rank Point per submission (up to a max of 3 RP)!
That means 3 of these submissions could grant you 1 full rank-up for your team! You may only claim the rewards for this task a maximum of 3 times total during the event, meaning you cannot gain 3 RP on one team and then another 3 RP on a second team.
Examples of prompts for each branch:
✦ Bounty Hunters may be clearing the path head and battling any hostile Pokemon they may encounter out in the fields.
✦ Wayfarers may be venturing out and exploring the different environments to map the area.
✦ Rescuers may be looking for any injured or endangered Pokemon to bring them back to Ethovalon safely.
✦ Feel free to come up with your own prompts for what your team may be doing! As long as it suits the branch of your team, it'll count!
This is not a typical task and cannot be completed through the Holiday Hills Tasks Grader!
This prompt can only be completed in feral forms and not in gijinka. It uses pieces submitted through the Holiday Hills Dungeon Grader.
Keep in mind that though this prompt rewards Rank Points, it is not a typical mission. As such, the usual restrictions for missions as well as the usual mission rewards will not be applied here.
⭐ Confused? Here's quick rundown of how to submit for this Task! ⭐
✦ Create a dungeon piece (no gijinkas) where the members of your team are doing something in the event dungeon that's typical to their branch.
(The team is a Bounty Hunters team, so you can draw/write about your characters battling hostile Pokemon in the dungeon.)
✦ Submit the dungeon to the Holiday Hills Dungeon Grader, and it will be graded like any other dungeon submission for the event.
✦ Get the message link from the Holiday Hills Dungeons thread in #grading-logs.
✦ Link the message in #inventory and ask to claim your Rank Point(s) reward.
You can do this up to 3 times across all of your teams for the duration of the event.
02 | Christmas in July
It's time for Beyond the Sea's annual Christmas in July art exchange event!
To participate is simple enough-- just fill out the form below with as much information as you can for your recipient to give you exactly what you're looking for in a gift! Be sure to give roughly 2-3 ideas just in case your recipient doesn't or can't do one of your ideas! More rules on what is and isn't allowed can be found on the form itself.
The sign up period for the Christmas in July Secret Santa will last from July 1st to July 7th (Ending at midnight EST, going into the 8th)!
After that it will take about a day or two to get requests out to everyone! You will have until August 7th to finish your piece and submit it to group.
If you are unable to complete your gift art for your recipient, please let us know by July 20th at the latest! We will get in contact with a pitch hitter to cover you! If you don't reach out to us and don't complete your gift art, you may be unable to participate in the next art exchange event!
For completing your piece, you'll receive a bonus of 500 candy on top of what you'd normally earn!
A link to the signup form can be found here!
03 | Beating the Heat
It's scorching hot lately! What ways do your characters beat the heat? Some sell lemonade, others will find some shade and cool off that way, or maybe you can stop by the Hills' Manor where Tempo is and take a dip in the pool! Swimsuits, pool floats and tubes, and the like are provided by him! No matter what you do, it's probably best to get out of the sun!
04 | Lounging by the Water [Art Meme]
After cooling down some, it's time to hop back into the water! What's that? You don't have a swimsuit? No problem! Tempo's brought back some amazing styles from the distant future, giving everyone modern styled swimwear! What kind of style does your character have?
For this prompt, you can use the meme template here! By completing this meme you'll get the rewards for the prompt itself + the bonus meme rewards!
