Soo ehm i saw shadow zapdos @ promos

but how do i get the forum credits
and how do i get it?

like do i just post things on this forum or?

please explain it to me i'm new

You get forum credits by posting more than 50 characters (Letters) in a post.
You get shadow zapdos by posting 295 of these posts, and also giving 100 coins.
These are excluded in Trading threads, Oddish's Off-Topic, and the banned/supporting ban threads.

There is a topic about this made by dualot and I know you are new but please post next time post forums in the questions section please

you get forum credits by posting a response more than 50 characters long. if your new you probably wont be able to get the zapdos in time

dammm talk about big changes i leave for a bit and alot has changed and there good changes now people cant waste there coins on everything and they need forum credits to use the promos and i guess its also you only get 2

Well it's not that if you are new you don't have a chance to get the shadowzapdos.
Just be active now in forums and maybe do a laboratory task to get a 100 coins.
There's still a lot of time.
Cooler06 already told you on how to get the forum credit part.

Try betting when u got some coins. And guys i m confused why are these forum credit introduced nowdays? Earlier they werent neccesary to buy promo.
