DUNGEON:
Chronos returns with a new dungeon in Holiday Hills! The cherry blossoms are in bloom and make for a beautiful backdrop to this dungeon! Take a stroll through the zen gardens while beautiful blue skies cast warm sun rays down onto you after a long, cold winter. On the outskirts of the cherry trees are also long field of wildflowers that seemingly go on forever and ever! It's almost impossible not to be in a good mood in these gardens!
[ The images below are loosely for inspiration on how to depict the dungeon and other Holiday Hills environments. These are primarily optional, so feel free to come up with your own interpretations while keeping to the overall theme of the event! ]
There are 8 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!

Read this section for information on creating and submitting a dungeon for Holiday Hills!
✨ Like a regular dungeon, a Holiday Hills dungeon consists of:
a maximum of 4 characters belonging to a team
requirements for art pieces including a background
requirements for written pieces having a word count of at least 500 words
✨ There are no level requirements in Holiday Hills, so characters of all levels are permitted!
✨ Unlike a regular dungeon, characters do not gain levels and teams cannot use items! Post-dungeon items like Poke Radars or Encounter Swaps can be used afterwards however!
✨ Use the Holiday Hills Dungeon Grader to submit your work -- just like you would submit a regular dungeon!
✨ Variant Recruits gained from Holiday Hills cannot be altered using other Potions or Juices for a minimum of 3 months! For more information, see Restrictions on Holiday Hills Recruits.
✨ As always, please put genuine effort into your work! Spamming low-effort or otherwise rushed work in an attempt to "grind" is highly discouraged and may result in a warning if abused!
✨ Be sure to check the Earning Poke guide to see what counts as a simple or complex dungeon background, and for requirements for characters to be counted as a part of a piece for rewards!
🍬 To see how much Candy you should be receiving for your work, see the Holiday Hills page!
Unless otherwise state, these event prompts are for characters in gijinka/humanoid form!
Prompts done with ferals will not count for Candy but can be submitted for Poke!
Chronos and Tempo have come together to give GCSF members another chance to try out clothing from the future! With the Flower Festival in full swing, what does your character decide to wear for the event? Will they decide to be more casual or do they go a more traditional route? Let's celebrate the festival in style!
You can find the meme template here!
For each uploaded meme, you will get an additional 200 candy bonus!
The cherry blossoms falling make the perfect backdrop for a picnic! Whether it's a platonic get together with friends and family or something a little more romantic, it's bound to be a beautiful setting with some delicious homemade food!
Butterflies and birds have begun their long trek back to Kala after a long, cold winter! A temporary home in the form of a Butterfly House has been set up to provide shelter for the delicate creatures. Will you watch as they fly overhead or would you prefer observing them a bit closer in the Butterfly House?
Kala Island is looking pretty desolate after the thaw-- so let's fix that! Gather your friends and teammates and get to growing! Plant all kinds of flowers and bushes around Ethovalon and out in the fields to make this place pop! Who knows? It may wind up being a beautiful backdrop later on!
As nighttime falls over Ethovalon, it's time for the lighting of the paper lanterns! Bring your lanterns to the biggest hill in Holiday Hills and set them off into the night on their maiden voyage to the skies. Bring a friend or a loved one to make it an extra special time!
Artwork, literature pieces, and private RPs are allowed for this, but we will also be hosting an RP Event from the beginning of April to the end of April! For those who actively participate in the RP and log 500 words for each participant, you'll be awarded 750 bonus candy for every RP submitted! RPs MUST be in threads over in #event-rp in order for it to count for the bonus. If you wish to join someone's RP, be sure to ask before hopping in!
