This guide briefly explains some of the activities and events that you can expect to see throughout the year, and provides a rough outline for how the event schedule works!
Some activities are year-round and available at all times, while others are around for a limited time only and may provide special, seasonal rewards and event currency!
Throughout the year, there are a number of activities that members can participate in to build up their teams, earn regular and event currency, develop their characters, and even engage with an overarching group-wide story!
Below are brief descriptions of each, but some activities have their own dedicated pages if you want to learn more!
Brave the depths of the Mystery Dungeons and you might just come out with a hefty reward!
Dungeons are available at all times, and are the primary way you can level up your characters and discover new Pokemon to add your team!
At higher levels, dungeons may also reward you with Recruit Tokens and Variant items!
Every now and then, the GCSF posts new jobs up on the board for its adventurers to tackle!
Missions are the primary way you can rank up your team and earn rewards along the way! They're typically completed in dungeons.
Tasks are typically more casual, laidback activities done in gijinka form for bonus Poké!
Every 3 months, Chronos throws a celebration at the manor atop the Holiday Hills!
Explore the seasonal dungeon and complete tasks to earn Candy to spend at the event shop!
Some special items and Variant recruits may only be obtained during Holiday Hills, so be sure to get in on the fun while it lasts!
BINGO provides members with a board 3x3 board of prompts to complete.
Completing a line grants small rewards on their own, but completing a full board comes with rewards that are hard to get your hands on anywhere else!
Raids are rare, large-scale activities that'll put your team to the test.
Gather your allies, pack those bags, and prepare to take on a dangerous foe!

Other small flash events may crop up from time to time; including community livestreams and hangouts, polling for future updates, and more!
Keep an eye on the #event-hints channel as that's where all news of and hints towards what the next event is will first be announced!
Below is a rough estimate of what a quarter year may look like in terms of events:
Holiday Hills
(Jan / Apr / Jul / Oct)
Missions & Tasks
(or misc. event)
Rest Month
(no active events)
The first month of a quarter (January, April, July, and October) will always have a Holiday Hills event active!
The month after, you can usually expect to see a new set of Missions & Tasks available!
This is not always set in stone and it's possible that a different type of event may take place instead.
Whatever ends up happening the month before, there will always be at least one month of rest and recuperation between each Holiday Hills!
It is also possible that there is no event active in the month after Holiday Hills and instead it becomes a rest month, with the following month having some sort of activity running.
At times, one of our miscellaneous events may even remain active for longer than a month (usually up to 2 month max.)! In that case, the month after will almost certainly be for resting, unless it is time for another Holiday Hills.
Anything you want! Maybe nothing at all!
A Rest Month is meant to allow everybody time to take a break and recharge. Members may want to catch up on working on character applications or work on art and writing for things outside of the group. In the meantime, it gives staff the opportunity to evaluate how things have been going and prepare for the next event without being crunched for time.
In the meantime, regular staff duties such as design/application approvals, shop and inventory management, and answering questions are still carried out -- just be patient if it's taking a little longer than usual to get to your queries! All-in-all, these breaks are here to help mitigate the risks of overworking and burning out, and so things may quiet down for a time but they are sure to pick back up the following month!
