Safari Zone
A few changes to the safari zone this month. The first involves Legendary Pokemon, and the second covers Mega stuff.
Legends:
Legends are breeding like rabbits! What does this mean? As of now, from the moment of CAPTURE, a 15 day countdown begins. After said countdown ends, any NEW safari quests that begin have the possibility to encounter that legend. No longer will you need to complete a set, or even wait for the first capture to be approved!
Megastones and Megaore:
Megastones can be earnt from any ‘challenge’ encounter, using the 150 hp/en chart. This can be any challenge, be it an encounter, boss, or legendary Pokemon. Ref’s, please note that any challenge encounter gains additional attacks when a trainer is using more than 3 moves. For further information, please PM myself. At this point in time, Megastones are limited to one (1) per adventure, and are generated AT RANDOM by the ref.
Megaore is the more common method of gathering stones. Megaore can be found in almost every zone in the safari zone. It is up to you to figure out how to find it (Hint – Rock smash is useful for stuff now!) Megaore is limited to the number of Poke/Great/Ultraballs you STARTED with, plus one (1).
Abilities and Moves
The 2015 overhaul has begun, starting with:
As we progress through the changes, we welcome any feedback on abilities OR moves. If you find something you thing that should be changed, post a comment in the Suggestion thread, and we will take it into consideration.
Mega tower

That concludes the February newsletter. See you all in March!
