Today at 9:30 a.m. (UTC), Pixelmon—an Ethereum-based NFT game inspired by Pokémon—is set to airdrop a significant amount of the $MON token, prompting a frenzy of NFT purchases.
As per a recent X post, over 180,000 eligible wallets will receive the tokens via Mon Protocol: holders of specific Pixelmon NFTs, ‘Kevin the Adventurer’ players, participants in the PixelPals’ ‘Farm2Farm’ contest, and contributors of the $MON presale.
In line with such requirements, Pixelmon’s in-game NFTs have ascended to third place on CoinGecko, experiencing a remarkable 278.7% surge in trading volume within just 24 hours, buoyed by an impressive 4,941 new sales.
Consequently, daily transactions for Pixelmon NFTs have surged to $1,360,910 (349.31 ETH), setting a minimum price of $2,822.67 (0.72 ETH) for each NFT and boosting the project’s market cap to an impressive $35,469,697 (9,104 ETH).
Notable Pixelmon Milestones
Pixelmon’s evolution has been remarkable, overcoming initial mockery of its Minecraft-esque graphics. With new ownership, a profound artistic makeover, and two years of effort, Pixelmon is now a formidable presence in web3 gaming.
A notable milestone in the game’s journey is the successful launch of Kevin the Adventurer—a game centered around a beloved character from the Pixelmon universe, which swiftly amassed 36,000 active players.

The introduction of PixelPals on the Mantle network—blending pet care and trading card elements—has further bolstered the Pixelmon ecosystem.
LiquidX’s acquisition of Pixelmon’s intellectual property in 2022 also marks a pivotal turning point, propelling the brand into a realm of trading cards, merchandise, and multimedia adaptations.
As Pixelmon continues to chart its course towards broader horizons, the soon-coming airdrop stands as a testament to its unwavering commitment to innovation and community engagement.
