Pixelmon is a Web3 monster-collecting gaming IP that launched its Generation 1 NFT collection in February 2022, raising approximately $70 million worth of ETH before a troubled art reveal made it one of the most scrutinized projects in NFT history. Pixelmon's Twitter Score is 147 out of 1000 (an Excellent rating) as of August 2026, ranking #3,885 (top 1%) among 483,944 tracked accounts.
Pixelmon originally minted 7,750 NFTs for 23,000 ETH in a Dutch auction, but after the art reveal the project was widely labeled the "worst NFT project ever" and floor prices fell more than 90%. In September 2022, LiquidX Studios negotiated a takeover and acquired Pixelmon, installing Giulio Xiloyannis as CEO. The project has since rebuilt under the banner of Pixelation Labs Pte. Ltd and MON Co., repositioning as a decentralized gaming brand built on Avalanche and powered by MON Protocol.
Pixelmon raised an $8 million seed round in February 2024 from a group of investors including Animoca Brands, Delphi Ventures, Foresight Ventures, Amber Group, Ray Chan, and Robbie Ferguson, alongside additional backers including Delphi Digital, Merit Circle, Mechanism Capital, Spartan Group, Sfermion, Bitscale Capital, and Formless Capital. The MON Protocol model fractionalizes IP by distributing ownership of a trademarkable game character across NFT holders, giving collectors a stake in the underlying brand rather than purely speculative assets.
Pixelmon has 787,477 followers as of August 2026 and has published 2,041 posts. The account has been mentioned by 593 accounts across 1,601 total mentions.
