Holiday Cave

Holiday Cave is a dungeon that opens to commemorate an occasion, such as a holiday. Holiday Cave is considered a form of event but is separate from Weekly Events.

At first, Holiday Cave has had it's final HC in 2014. The reason why Holiday Cave was discontinued at the time was due to the fact that the time to make dungeons were so long for a short amount of time, so they decided to focus more on permanent dungeons. Despite this, HC is still accessible to players during certain events.

The rules for every Holiday Cave is as follows:
 * Your whole team is set to level 1
 * Moves are reset
 * You can't bring in any items

2009
PMU 6 was running at this time.

PMU Comemoration Event
9/01/10-9/08/10 Pokémon: Tepig, Oshawott, Snivy Items: Ivy Ring, Warmth Orb, Lucky Shell Floors: None- No Boss Info: This event was made in the celebration of the release of PMU 7. To get the Pokémon, you had to talk to a Chansey to get an egg. After a while, it hatched into a fifth generation starter. The egg then transformed into an item that helps the Pokémon specified with it to heal it when hit with a Fire (for Snivy), Water (for Tepig), or Grass (for Oshawott). Along with the egg, you would also get a family item for that starter.

Fun Fact: This dungeon was made mostly by Kirk! Also, to hatch eggs, people had to run around in a safe zone. So for most of the event people, ran around in circles in town.

April Fools


Pokémon: N/A

Items: N/A

Info: For this event, for that day only, everyone's sprite was itemized.

Easter Event
4/1/12-4/15/12 Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Pichu, Pikachu, Raichu, Torchic, Combusken, Togepi, Togetic, Happiny, Chansey, Starly, Shroomish, Lopunny (All Not Able to Recruit) Items: Eggs (Hatched: Pichu, Happiny, Bulbasuar, Starly, Zigzagoon, Eevee, Torchic, Riolu, Ralts, Munchlax, Vulpix, Togepi, Growlithe, Sewaddle, Cottonee, Scyther, Spinda, and Partner Eggs) Floors: 50F- No Boss Info: This dungeon had no recruitable Pokémon. However, this event had eggs in it. The higher floors (41F+) enabled you to randomly get you or your partner's base evolution through an egg. In a way, this dungeon had the most Pokémon available because of that factor.

Fun Fact: There was a bug that if you entered the floor with an escort Pokémon, there was a chance you could get the base evolution of that. That caused the mission board to be deactivated for most of the dungeon.

Only event items are listed, but there are several other items (Poké, Apples, Berries, and other common items). This is the same for Pokémon in these events, which may be updated later.

Easter
4/24/19-5/8/19 Pokémon: Togepi, Muchlax, Chikorita, Bunnelby, Sewaddle, Ducklett, Pichu, Torchic, Exeggute, Lillipup, Happiny, Togetic, Bayleef, Diggerby, Swadloon, Swanna, Pikachu, Exeggutor, Herdier, Chansey, Combusken, Meganium, Snorlax, Leavanny, Raichu, Blaziken, Stoutland, Blissey, Togekiss, Kecleon (both variants) (All unrecruitable)

Items: Oval Charm, Eggs (Hatched: Buneary, Exeggcute, Shroomish, Chatot, Seedot, Combee, Sewaddle, Houndour, Ducklett, Eevee, Lillipup, Togepi, Magby, Natu, Torchic, Pichu, Ralts, Munchlax, Pinsir, Scyther, Popplio, Pikipek, Lickitung, Porygon, Rowlet, Minccino, Poochyena, Tangela, Bunnelby, Venipede, Pidove, Woobat, Growlithe, Ledyba, Deerling, Solosis, Skiddo, Pancham, Gothita, Chikorita, Salandit, Stufful, Swirlix, Spritzee, Litten, Grubbin, Panpour, Vullaby, Petilli, Cottonee, Patrat, Happiny, Litleo, Burmy, Spinarak, Aipom, Dunsparce, Rufflet, Munna, Mienfoo, Absol, Riolu, Kangaskhan, Turtwig, Noibat, Pansage, Tyrogue, Bounsweet, Pansear, Rockruff, Ekans, Spheal, Aron, Joltik, Kecleon and Partner Eggs) Floors: 60F- No Boss Info: While the dungeon had no recruitable Pokemon, eggs spawned in high numbers throughout the dungeon, changing it's possible hatches every 10 floors. There is a rest stop after Floor 20 and 40, where the player can fully heal, sell unneeded items to the Easter Bunny merchant, who doesn't sell anything, and hatch eggs with a 3x boost. On Floors 25, 35, 45, and 55, the player will be thrown into a floor full of Kecleon, who accuse the player as an egg thief and attack. Defeating them would drop one Easter Treat (this HC's currency) or in the case of the purple Kecleon, which only one spawns on each floor, 25 Easter Treats or a Power Glove as a rare drop. The end room would contain some Easter Treats, 4 Easter Chests, and an egg that contain the base evolution of the Pokemon you entered the room with. If players entered in a party, the number off eggs that spawn will be the number of players in the party. The Partner egg at the end could have a chance at being a dud, or not hatching a partner Pokemon. This dungeon also introduced Pikipek, its evolutions, and Rockruff and the Oval Charm item. The dungeon also had a secret room, where if you were lucky to find it and some Honey, you could obtain some Easter Treats. If the player found Honey beforehand, they could summon Shaymin and have a chance at getting its Heart Slate.

Fun Facts

 * The hub is similar to the one used for 2012, except it has an added Xatu Appraisal and the Skitty house was replaced with the shop.
 * There was an easter egg where at the bottom left corner of the map, the player could trigger a secret message saying "What a quaint corner. :)"
