Welcome Back To December and to 12 Days of Likeshop! long story short, it is the latest instalment of shops (most recently stolen from Kalalokki) focused on spending your hard-earned likes for some fun changes on the forums and Pokemon Showdown!. Since this can't Stay Stay Stay, the shop will only be open for 12 days, keeping in line with the traditional period of time around this time of year. This also means that many of your purchases, especially the mystery boxes, are not Timeless and will expire with the end of the shop. Now then, let's get in to some terms and conditions of this fine establishment:
I hope that's all you need to know, but otherwise just ask me and I will try to answer to the best of my abilities. Happy holidays and happy shopping!
- All purchases are final, no refunds - Only exception is pooling likes for one of the big prizes if they don't make the threshold
- No reverts of Mystery Boxes - Since all of them will expire by the end of this, you don't really need to spend any likes to revert it. If you really hate what you got, you can always just buy another one and try your luck again :)
- Anything limited quantity is first come, first serve - in case of pooled purchases, it's first to reach the threshold, not first to post
- Accounts must be created before December 12th to participate in the Likeshop
- This is supposed to be for fun, and if you make people miserable, we can refuse service - please don't make me use this rule
- A random number of likes - increments of 100 likes (per user cap of 5,000 likes gambled)
Temporarily (hopefully) suspended
Devil's roll the dice, angel's roll their eyes; I will do !roll 1.9*number of likes gambled and give you that many likes; yes this is just gambling, and yes the house has an advantage, but it can be a fun* way to get** enough likes for what you want to buy!
*may not be fun **may not get
- Mystery Box - 500 likes (OUT OF STOCK, ACCEPTING WAITLIST ORDERS)
It's a box of mystery. Since many of the boxes of mystery overlap, you may only buy one at a time (your new one will override your old one, this applies to duo and bejeweled as well).
- Duo Mystery Box - 750 likes each (OUT OF STOCK)
The box is still a mystery, but you get to share it with a friend! To get this one, just tag the one you want to buy it with and they in turn have to reply to your post and agree with the purchase, sort of like a team tour management signup. Likes may be split between the users, make sure to specify how you want them split or they'll be split evenly between the users. Since many of the boxes of mystery overlap, you may only buy one at a time (your new one will override your old one, this applies to basic and bejeweled as well).
- Bejeweled Mystery Box - 5,000 likes (OUT OF STOCK)
Still a mystery, but fancier. Sometimes much fancier. Maybe even beyond your Wildest Dreams. Since many of the boxes of mystery overlap, you may only buy one at a time (your new one will override your old one, this applies to duo and basic as well).
- Tournaments Mystery Box -
5,000 likes2,000 likes (per user cap of 1)
It's like a mystery box, but for tournaments. Cannot be re-rolled.
- A custom Kaiju Bunny doodle profile picture - 3,000 likes (quantity available: until Kaiju Bunny tells me to stop selling these)
Must be of a Pokemon (of your choice). You may continue using it after the like shop ends. Can be hand drawn or digital, but hand drawn will likely be higher quality. For a rough idea of what to expect, see my discord profile picture:
- Add animated snow to an existing PERSONAL custom avatar - 3,000 likes
Marty is a wizard and will do this to your existing custom avatar through New Year's Day.
Must be a personal custom avatar, ie not a team / group avatar; can be regular or holiday version, if applicable. Please provide the exact link to the avatar you want to update along with your request (can be found by right clicking on your avatar on PS! and selecting "copy image address", should be formatted like this: https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/trainers-custom/utxmas.png).
- Custom title of your choice - 1,500 likes
Ever feel like "no one gets ME!"? Now's your chance to explain exactly who you are with a custom title (like badgeholders have).*
*within reason of course, also doesn't expire at the end of the shop.
- Trophy Point - 2,500 likes each
Useless flair, but it Hits Different, you know?
This one will also persist after the shop closes.
- Custom Profile Banner - 5,000 likes
Upload an image of your choice to be the background image of your Smogon profile page, like the one Hecate has. Or, conversely, like Isaiah has. The user group persists after shop closes, meaning you can keep changing it yes.
- Pre-Reserve a Spotlight - 1,500 likes (per user cap of 1)
Write about a Pokemon set in its corresponding tier of your choosing to be featured as part of the Social Media Spotlights project! The set itself must still pass QC approval, the writing process should still follow our standard Rules and Guidelines, and spotlight staff still reserve the rights to say no if any issues arises. See Marnie if you have any other clarifications!
- A PS! News Slot - 50,000 likes (quantity available: 5)
Buy a PS! News Slot for...anything* you want to share with all of PS!; could be an advertisement, a wholesome greeting, whatever you want! You may also pool likes between multiple users to get your news slot.

- Make Aggronite +Steel in Mix and Mega - 50,000 likes FULLY FUNDED
Back in USUM Mix and Mega, Aggronite added a secondary Steel typing to anyone who equiped it. For Reasons, that was removed starting in SS, but the OM Tier Leaders are feeling festive and for the low price of 50,000 likes will bring back +Steel Aggronite! Likes can be pooled, change will persist after the likeshop closes.
- An RU suspect test of your choice - 100,000 likes (quantity available: the 1)
Can be pooled among as many users as needed to hit 100k. Suspect must be within reasonable tiering practices — i.e: no complex bans — and on something topically relevant in the metagame. Must be approved by feen and TheFranklin, we can provide a list of reasonable options if necessary. Will be launched at the conclusion of the badgeshop, or one week after an ongoing suspect ends, if applicable. Please specify what specific Pokemon or element you want suspected.
