It's that time of the year again! Welcome to Community Create a Pet Mod 2025 (CCAPM2025), where, as a community, we create a complete Pet Mod over a single weekend! First, everyone may submit their ideas for the Pet Mod's concept. Then, we vote for our favorite concept. Finally, we spend the rest of the weekend doing two submission rounds.

Community Create a Pet Mod 2025 will become playable on PS! (as a seasonal metagame) as soon as possible. Have you always wanted to play using a Pokémon you've created on PS, then make sure to join all three days!

When?
Friday November 14th, Saturday November 15th, Sunday November 16th
(Friday: decide concept, concept poll Friday 8PM server time / 3PM EST, Saturday: submissions, Sunday: submissions)

Where?
The Pokemon Showdown! Pet Mods room (public edition)

Today we finalized the concept of CCAPM2025. If you'd like to view all concepts we voted on, you may visit this document. Our winning concept (after voting and optimizing post-votes) is:

Form Frenzy
Users submit a (modified) Pokemon with a form change mechanic, then a different user will make a completely new form for the Pokemon that is activated through the specified mechanic. The mechanic may include a custom ability, a custom move, a custom item, or other crazy mechanics that are required to activate it. Note that this may include 'blanks' for the second user to fill in, i.e. a form change gimmick that only activates once a Pokemon gets a kill with [move]. Here, the second user could fill in what the [move] will be.

Join the Pet Mods room on PS! this weekend to submit a form change gimmick and to create a form! We will do a round on both Saturday and Sunday. Note that if you submit in phase 1 (gimmick / base Pokemon), you are expected to submit in phase 2 (form creation) as well!

What time on Saturday will we start with submissions?
 
Today at 20:30 server time, I will begin Phase 2 of Saturday's (today's) CCAPM creation process. If you would like to join, make sure to head into the room and check the announcement to submit a form change gimmick. I'm curious to see what everyone thinks of!
 
We just went through all submissions and tweaked some with community discussion (for example, if they misunderstood what was being asked, and did not provide a form change, or defined the entire form already). Additionally, everyone who took part in Phase 1 got assigned a form to create for Phase 2.

In Phase 2, everyone creates the new form that someone else suggested. For instance, anaconja will create a new form for Lilligant that is activated once Lilligant uses a dancing move.

You can check all of this out in this document. Please try to work on your form today, or if you can't, contact me so I know you still plan on working on it. Tomorrow I will reach out to people who have not submitted or contacted me. If need be, I will find substitutes for those who ghost us, as everyone's concept should make it in!

To submit your form, go to this form. Meanwhile, if you couldn't join today, but can tomorrow, then hop into the Pet Mods room tomorrow to join the next session! (Also, go to the Pet Mods room to discuss what you're planning for your submission and spread the joy!)
