With the exploration of the Flying Islands complete, a number of strange Pokemon have made themselves known. The Pokemon who have settled in and around the Oracle's Summit and Forsaken Mountain look as though they aren't even from this era.
Some bear a striking resemblance to records of the ancient past while others seem reminiscent of the distant future.Could this have been Tempo the Dialga's doing? Or perhaps they've always been here...
✦ Paradox Pokemon are rarely spotted outside of the Oracle's Summit and Forsaken Mountain dungeons, both of which are located on the Flying Islands. As far as the GCSF and the other explorers guilds are aware, the Flying Islands are the only place where you can find Paradox Pokemon in abundance across the known map of the Great Ocean. (That said, it's not impossible and you are free to describe your characters origins regardless of this!)
✦ Paradox characters are not any stronger nor any weaker than a regular recruit. Though their circumstances may seem bizarre and unusual, keep in mind that the rules against godmodding or powerplaying apply to these characters just as they would for any others!
✦ Paradox recruits may have Potions and/or Juices applied to them like any other recruit!
✦ Paradox Pokemon are not the same as a recruit using a Paradox Potion, a Potion that allows for a design that is inspired by official Paradox Pokemon! Only official Paradox Pokemon are counted as Paradox characters in the group!
✦ Paradox recruits take up their own slots on the team, separate from the other team members. They cannot be promoted to team leaders.
✦ You must purchase a Paradox Recruit Slot (15,000p) in order to create a Paradox character, which becomes available once your team reaches Platinum Rank.
✦ Purchasing the slot gives you the ability to complete Legendary (90+) dungeons with recruitable Paradox Pokemon. However, unlike Mythical recruits, you do have to find a Paradox Pokemon in a dungeon to recruit them!
✦ Teams may have a maximum of 3 Paradox recruits.
✦ A Paradox recruit can be dismissed at any time at no additional cost, much like a regular recruit.
✧ Any Paradox Pokemon that is considered Legendary or that is based off of an existing Legendary Pokemon may not be encountered nor recruited!
✦ Whenever new non-Legendary Paradox Pokemon are released, they will eventually be added to this list once the server lifts its spoiler policy for new content!

❂ Make sure you've purchased a Paradox Recruit Slot (15,000p). Your team needs to be Platinum Rank to do so.
❂ Paradox recruits start at Level 1 and must have a moveset that reflects that! The usual moveset rules apply.
❂ Once your application is ready, you can open a ticket for a new character submission via #submit-a-ticket!
The visual application for a Paradox recruit uses the single application template. The written application must be completed, but it does not need to be as extensive as your leader's!
When submitting an application to the DeviantART gallery, submit them to the Recruits Apps folder!
