Genesect Event[]
Every 10 minutes, there was a chance depending on the amount of players in a server that an event Pokemon will spawn. It is announced in blue text by the server in the chat.
Every 10 minutes, if you're lucky and hit the chance, the chat will say: "A rare Pokémon has appeared on __!" (The blank being a Route). The first person to encounter a wild Pokémon on the route will encounter the event Pokémon and the server will say: "______" found the rare Pokemon!" (The blank being the username of the person who found it). The text of this sentence (Red or Purple) determines which Pokemon they have found meaning Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf in Red and Genesect in Purple. Once the first person encounters, you have to wait another 10 minutes for the next spawn message. The Pokémon will almost always be Uxie, Mesprit or Azelf, with a little chance of instead encountering Genesect.
