Update Mystery Box Changes 2018/2019

[Patrick]

Starting November 1st 2018, the Pokémon contents of Mystery Boxes will be changed monthly to resolve two issues within Pokémon Vortex's trade and auction economy. The first issue being that some old event Pokémon are impossible to obtain due to very low numbers of them existing. The second issue is that the current Mystery Box Pokémon drop of Rotom forms are too high and rapidly lose value as more boxes are obtained and opened.

 

SO, the change, effective immediately will be that old event Pokémon (but not seasonal event Pokémon such as Halloween or Christmas) will be rotated through Mystery Boxes monthly starting off with November's Mystery Box Pokémon - Volcanion

This Pokémon will be rotated out of Mystery Boxes on December 1st 2018 and so on, on monthly intervals.

Here is a list of the following changes through to the end of September 2019:

 

November 1st 2018 - November 30th 2018

 December 1st 2018 - December 31st 2018

 January 1st 2019 - January 31st 2019

 February 1st 2019 - February 28th 2019

 March 1st 2019 - March 31st 2019

 April 1st 2019 - April 30th 2019

 May 1st 2019 - May 31st 2019

 June 1st 2019 - June 30th 2019

As of June 1st 2019, the avatar pool of Mystery Boxes will no longer be exclusively "Premium Avatars".
Instead, it will have the chance to drop every single avatar except those reserved for special occasions such as Exclusive Auctions.

July 1st 2019 - July 31st 2019

August 1st 2019 - August 31st 2019

September 1st 2019 - September 30th 2019

October 1st 2019 - October 31st 2019

As of November 1st 2019, the Pokémon pool of Mystery Boxes will no longer be exclusively one Pokémon.
Instead, every past event Pokémon will be included and as events are rolled out and end, that Pokémon will join the Mystery Box Pokémon pool.

 

Hopefully these continued changes monthly will make these Pokémon more widely available over time.
