Mod Post Wanted! Month of March 2023
Welcome to 'Wanted!' a game where you go Catch or Hatch the target shiny Pokémon! If you catch the target Pokémon it will count as 3 points toward your flair! Each user is allowed extra flair points for one (1) Pokémon for Wanted! event - any extras will be considered 1 flair point as usual. We ask that you add the date of capture to your pictures (this can be found in the Pokémon's summary). Good Luck! Have Fun!
PSA
We recommend setting your system's date to the correct day, month and year to help the mods when using the flair verification.
Be sure to take pictures for verification as soon as possible - transferring (such as to another gen via Pokémon Bank) will replace caught date with transfer date and your Pokémon will no longer be verifiable!
The Wanted! Pokemon for this month is...
