Weekly Quest #1: Zubat Hoarders!
Welcome to Pokémon Go: Weekly Quests! This is a weekly event designed to provide an extra challenge to all of us Pokémon Go players out there and see who really is the best trainer. Take part in these fun challenges to give some structure to your Pokémon Go adventures and see if you can come out on top. We'll be hatching eggs, hoarding Pokémon, taking pictures and lots more, so stick around and see which events tickle your fancy. Don't worry if you're nervous of competition - some weeks we'll be competing for the win, some weeks we'll be working together towards a common goal and some weeks we'll be trying to meet personal milestones all in the name of fun. Any event suggestions are of course welcome! Week 1: Zubat Hoarders! Ah Zubat, everyone's favourite Pokémon... right? It's the first week so we'll start off with something simple to get the competition underway - and that simple task is catching Zubat! Your task this week is to catch more Zubat than anyone else taking part. These annoying things are littered all throughout the world with no known bias for certain locations and so everyone should be able to take part and rack up some points here. And all Zubat entered must have been caught after July 19th. You can sign up by posting a screenshot of how many Zubat you have previously caught when you first enter the contest by loading up their page on the Pokédex, and then show your results by showing an updated version of that number when the competition ends. Feel free to use other verification methods to show off your Zubat like screenshotting each one individually or posting photos of your Pokémon list, but this is the method I believe is easiest. Rules
Simply post your first screenshot in the thread to take part.
If any of these events take your fancy then feel free to request them in this thread for next week and I'll bump them up, otherwise I'll pick one randomly!
As the weeks progress there'll be more prizes to rack up (and not just emblems!) including rewards based on how often you compete, but for this week we'll have a cute little Zubat emblem awarded to anyone placing within the top three trainers: All that's left to say is good luck! And you might want to bring a scarf to keep your neck safe... |
Ok might as well :D
I organized it by dex number since they're all nicknamed! Also don't laugh at how bad I am at this game :( Spoiler:
|
I'll post my sign-up too :D
Spoiler:
Sorted by A-Z, nothing where Zubat should be so 0 to start with! Heading out in a few mins to start my Go adventures for the day; hopefully I'll have some progress to update soon! |
Ah, I'll do it too, see what happens!
Saw the good idea with the Pokedex, much easier. Any number higher than 50, will be newly caught for the event. Spoiler:

I don't intend to participate, but I'll just leave this here:

Ugh, you would pick those little Poké Ball thieves, wouldn't you? :|
Still, this looks like a lot of fun. Count me totally in! Gonna go with Jae's suggestion and post this here: Spoiler:
Let me know if you want/need any help on the future weekly events, man. :] |

Edited my last post, now has the Pokedex info instead. I'll keep the updates coming as they come. Hopefully this 3 step glitch doesn't destroy my chances xD
|
I'll update with that image too so I can throw away my current bats. Caught 2 before posting this (proof):
Spoiler:
Now here's the updated Pokédex page after those two: Spoiler:
Good luck to everyone :) |
Hey I'd like to enter.
Spoiler:
I have a question though, the 4 Zubats that you see in the screenshot were all caught on 19th or 20th of July. Would they count towards the contest? |
Why, look at that! I don't have a Golbat yet, so I was looking for these guys anyway. Put me up!
Spoiler: Don't judge me, they're somewhat rare out here.
Spoiler: Though, the first thing I met in the morning...
Zubat count: 1 |

Ooohhh, fun!

Honestly, if you ask me, I think the 'Eggciting Eggstravaganza' and the 'One a Day' event ideas sound quite interesting. I'd participate in those for sure, but I can't participate in this Zubat event for I only have one Great Ball. I'm not walking to the nearest Pokestop just to receive three Pokeballs and one Great Ball.

I think Zubats spawn around me all the time... Not sure if I should be happy or disappointed. xD |
Squirrel this is awesome and thank you for the personal invite!! =D I guess I'm a couple days late on starting, but why not--I'll see if I can catch up!

Sorry for joining so late, these last few days at work have been hectic for me so I haven't been able to play very much, but today I should have a bunch of time to hunt around for some Zubat.
Current Score: Spoiler:

How are you guys posting these from your phone? I have the screenshot, just can't find a formatting option in the forum post that seems to work.

Appreciate you helping the technologically illiterate: me.

Updated my original post with a second screenshot.

Does anybody know whether the time influences the encounter rate of Zubat like in the main series? I'm literally considering getting up at 4 AM to hunt bats to be able to beat Regeneration's score right now.

I am having NO LUCK with Zubats this week. After having evolved to a Golbat last week, I was pretty satisfied and haven't been after them too hard. Have even passed them up sometimes cause they're just so dang hard to catch. But now when I want to, I can't find any. =P

Wow... maybe I should have participated. I've caught 20 since my screenshot on the first page...

@Sirindu
About posting screen shots, this might be easier for you then using another website that you are not signed up for; I use this very website to post all of my screenshots. Just go to your profile page, go to your photo albums and click to it's page, then upload your screenshots into a folder and then you can just post image links using the url's for the image from this site. That's how I do it and it only requires me to use one website, (the best one of course) this one! As for searching for finding Zubats in general. I find them at all times of the day. The only reason why I find them more often at night is because I play mostly at night. Zubat are a common pokemon in my area but I would say they are lower on the list as a common pokemon. Despite that it seems Zubat don't care about what hour of the day they are out and about in my area... I have noticed that other pokemon do care... For example, there is an Onix who spawns around my apartment but only in the super early hours of the morning (2am-4am) and there is a Lapras spawn point in the middle of town but I've only seen it spawn twice and it has always been at around midnight and 1am. So although I feel like Zubat do whatever they want at any time, I really think there is some merit about time affecting other spawn rates. |

Update #2 is on my first post, now at 23 caught!
I also would say I see no evidence with the Day/night Zubat stuff. I've probably caught half during the day and half at night. If there is a difference, I would say its fairly small |
Update: 20 Zubat caught so far here!
Spoiler:
Also remember guys you're all welcome to vote on which event you'd like for next week if you have a preference :) |
I'd say I'm partial to either Field Diary Drama or Pokemon Maths. Sounds most interesting and doable to me.

Awesome idea, Squirrel! ^^
I've only got a couple so far but who knows what the weekend might bring! (Photos) |

I tend to catch Zubats because I want to remove them from my field of vision. Clogging up valuable screen space. |
Since I have started this contest I have seen three Zubats... and... all of them have run away. :/

Started at 55, now on 90 after today's exploration so up to 35... Bring it on Jae ;)
|
lol you guys are in a battle in which I cannot compete. I finally saw more zubats today but was like, "eh, there's no point..." xD
|

I would also say we should do contest similar to this one just with different Pokemon, maybe even make it ones that are a bit more rare, so you have to put in a bit more effort. I think that'd be interesting. Of course it could also be a completely bad idea but I thought I should at least throw it out there XD
Also, I Update #3 is up, I'm now at 29 |
Whaaat? Did you guys forget about me and my Zubats? :'(
Spoiler:
|
Okay, certainly not doing the best here, but I've got a few to update y'all on:
Spoiler:
By my count that would be 17. |

Yesterday I was at 98 lifetime (30 since the start of the event). http://i.imgur.com/Y71KlJG.jpg Today I'm at 117, so that means +19 today for a grand total of 49 so far. |
Quote:
Spoiler:
There's currently only one Zubat in it. This is honestly getting kind of tense! How's everyone else doing so far? |
Can't remember if I voted or not, but my vote for the next competition is for the One A Day!

^ isn't it a dog? {XD}
Well I'm not going to be challenging for the lead but I has 6 Zubats now! (http://www.pokecommunity.com/album.php?albumid=9822&pictureid=82588) |
Today is the last day for catching Zubat guys, make sure you snag a whole bunch!
|
http://i.imgur.com/zdz86Rh.jpg
+16 more Zubat since last time, so my tally goes up to 65 hoarded so far. |
Spoiler:
69 here, you have some catching up to do Jae! The contest will end in 24 hours (8 PM GMT); make sure to catch your final Zubat and submit your score! |
Well I did the best I could but I could only muster up 40 Zubat total. Not bad but nowhere near ya'lls totals.
It was a lot of fun though, and I now have over 200 Zubat candies easily so once that Crobat is released, I'll be one of the first to get it :D |
All right, I don't want to be bothered with any more Zubats. No more. Please.
http://i.imgur.com/yz43QjS.jpg I could've gotten more yesterday after seeing a mini-swarm on my map. But then I literally turned the other direction because I got sick of looking at them. +21 from yesterday. Total stands at 86 Zubat. I'm done. No more. Ugh. |
Hi all, this week's contest is now finally FINISHED! Please submit your final totals within 24 hours in order to be counted; I'll send out messages in case people forgot :)
As for my total; Spoiler:
I ended up with a grand total of 71 Zubat caught - looks like Jae beat me this time! And as always, remember you can still vote towards which contest you'd like to see for next week's edition :) |
Spoiler:
Caught a total of 20 Zubats since I started this contest. |
Final count:
Spoiler:
Brings my total count to... 18. :B Not a whole bunch of Zubat around me, to be honest. Certainly didn't win, but hey, it was still fun! |
Spoiler:
Meaning that I caught a whopping number of 2 Zubat. Two more ran away, and one I found while out somewhere in the middle of nowhere without any Poké Balls. ...okay, you can stop laughing now. |
This week's contest is now finished!
It was a long week of wasting Pokéballs and having our necks bitten but we all came out alive and with a heck of a lot more Zubat candy to show for it. Hundreds of Zubat were hoarded up throughout this week's contest, so let's see who our winners are for this week... http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/041.gifhttp://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/041.gifhttp://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/041.gif 1. VisualJae - 86 Zubat 2. Squirrel - 71 Zubat 3. Regeneration - 47 Zubat http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/041.gifhttp://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/041.gifhttp://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/041.gif Notable runner-ups included FireSnow with 40 Zubat, and François with 44 Zubat and Lycanthropy with 2 Zubat! Congratulations to all of our winners and a special mention to VisualJae for his absurdly large collection of these winged rodents. You should receive your coveted emblems shortly - make sure you give those Zubat a good home! Stay tuned for next week's contest which will be posted later tonight :) |
