The Shifting Safari Zone
Set off the beaten path is a mysterious area where mons of all type gather. But beware! This area is known to shift and change on a whim, so you may get lost if you aren't careful!
Rules!
-You can only search areas when the Safari Zone is open! The Safari Zone will open at random times and will remain open for several hours at a time.
-You can search once per clock hour. So, you can make a guess at 7:59 and at 8:00.
-You can make up to five guesses per day even if the Safari Zone opens multiple times during the same day. A day is midnight to midnight. So, if you have already used your five guesses, and the Safari Zone is still open at midnight, you can begin guessing again.
-It will be clearly noted in the thread when the Safari Zone is open and when it closes.
-All times are forum time.
-You can share a square with another player without any issue. If there is a pokemon in that square, all players who guessed the square in that hour will have a chance to catch it. If both players are successful in meeting the dice roll requirement, random will determine the winner.
-There will only be one mon hiding in the Safari Zone at a time.
-You can only capture one Safari Zone mon.
-After the mon is found, whether captured or fled, the map will be reset for the following hour and going forward. So, searching the same area is perfectly okay.
-Beware of trainers hiding in the area! If you meet a trainer, you must defeat them in battle to continue searching. If you lose the battle, you must retreat to be healed and cannot continue searching in the Safari Zone for that day. If you win the battle, the trainer will follow you home, impressed with you battle prowess. This does not count towards your one mon limit.
-You do not need to wait on me to post next guesses as long as it is a new hour.
-I will post responses for an entire hour at once.
-No reposting will be allowed. Magic dice will not be able to be used in this thread due to the nature of the game.
-If you find a mon, your dice roll meets the requirements, and it is not on your pass list, you capture the mon, and your Safari Zone journey is over. You cannot choose to pass on a mon after the fact.
-If there are mons/trainers left over at the end of the event, or everyone has already found a mon, I will give away the rest to those that have participated.
-Catching a mon here does not use a capsule from the main thread with the exception of Meloetta. You get a safari capsule to use here!
How to Play
Before you can begin searching, you will need to make a short RP post with your Sphinx from the main thread entering the Safari Zone. In this post, you will also need to note any mons from the list below that you want to PASS. Make sure that your list is as you want it. You cannot alter it later. If you do not want to pass on any of them, please note that as well just so I remember to add it to my master list. If you do not note anything, I will assume that you are fine with any of the prizes.
To search, post the square you are searching along with three d20 dice rolls. Yep! Three! You get three shots at catching these guys if you can find one!
The following mons are available in the Safari Zone. Next to them, you will find the dice roll needed to capture them.
