Weekly Quest #2: One a Day! (Winners!)
 

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 2: One a Day!

You guys requested it, so here it is!

It's time to make a Pokémon rainbow! Each day this week there'll be a specific Pokémon that we're all assigned to capture and doing so will earn you one point towards your total for this contest. The Pokémon assigned will follow a rainbow colour scheme in order from red to violet, so feel free to guess ahead! The Pokémon must have been captured after July 30th in order to be counted, which can be easily proved by screenshotting the "date captured" section of their status page. Some Pokémon will be common, some will be rare and some may even be a Mewtwo, but don't threat too much as you can capture the Pokémon at any point within the week for it to count.


2 points will be awarded to anyone who captures the Pokémon on the day it is announced (you cannot have captured it before the date if you want the 2 points! As long as the date in your timezone is July 30th when you capture it then it counts), whilst 1 point will be awarded to anyone who captures the Pokémon at any other time during the week. Anyone who completes the entire rainbow will be awarded a special prize! The competition will officially begin one day after this thread is posted in order to let everyone prepare for the first day of captures.

Rules
  1. The quest Pokémon for each day will be posted in this thread; look out for it!
  2. This week's competition ends on August 5th!
  3. Use screenshots to record your adventures; usually you can do this by pressing the home and lock buttons at the same time but phones may vary - Google is your friend!
  4. All Pokémon entered must be caught on or after July 30th, but can be captured at any point within the week.
  5. Progress updates and general discussion are encouraged :)
  6. Feel free to double-post if you have two updates to make and no one has posted inbetween!
  7. Be kind to the Pokémon you capture - they are living creatures too!!

Future Events

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! Striked out events have happened recently and won't be considered for a few weeks.

Spoiler:
  • Eggciting Eggstravaganza! - Let's see who can hatch the most eggs in a week - bonus points for rare eggs!
  • Pokémon Photobomb - We've all seen some of the hilarious Go images appearing recently, so let's make our own!
  • Let's Be Hikers! - You want us to walk how much!?
  • Team Challenge: Catch 'em All! - Group together with your fellow team members and go catching crazy!
  • What's That Doing There? - A Sandshrew swimming at sea? A Shellder climbing a tree? Let's find some strange Pokémon!
  • Field Diary Drama - Recount your epic tales from journeys past in the most dramatic fashion possible!
  • Pokémon Hoarders - Hoard those Pokémon! Have you got what it takes to become the hoarding champion?
  • Pokémon Maths - Go out and catch Pokémon by dex number or CP equalling up to a certain goal!
  • PokéStop Professor - Visit and record as many different PokéStops as you can within the week!
  • One a Day - Each day of the week will have a different uncommon Pokémon as you goal to capture.

Rewards

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 Pokémon rainbow emblem awarded to anyone placing within the top three trainers and a special prize for anyone who completes the entire rainbow:


All that's left to say is good luck, and try not to fall behind ;)

buttlet32 July 29th, 2016 10:34 AM

I think I'll try my chances in the event this week.

FireSnow July 29th, 2016 10:53 AM

I'll try it out too!

One question though just so I understand completely, say one of the days we have to catch a Poliwag, if we catch it the day you announced it is 2 points, and if we catch say 5 of them, that is 10 points? Or does only the first one count therefore you only receive 2 points? Same thing if you capture it after the date announced. Would it be 5 points or 1 point?

I feel like I know the answer to this since if it is the latter way there would be a cap to the amount of points one could earn but I just wanted to ask to make sure.

Each Pokémon will only be counted once, so even if you catch 5 Poliwag on the day he's a quest it'll still only be 2 points - the max points you can get is 14 but trust me it won't be as easy as it sounds! I'd be surprised if anyone other than Jae gets 14 haha. Don't want this to be a huge drawn-out thing making people spend hours outside every day, just catching one is enough :)

Hiidoran July 29th, 2016 11:03 AM

Of course you can count me in too.

Hopefully I'll fair a little better than with the Zubart hoarding...

Oh okay, I gotcha! Officially count me in :D

Sirindu July 29th, 2016 12:29 PM

Yay, this is awesome! Well done with this!

Sign me up and expect some competition (I hope...).

Mister Coffee July 29th, 2016 1:45 PM

I'll save you the trouble of a PM Squirrel, I would like to join your contest. lol :P

Inkblots July 29th, 2016 2:34 PM

I will have a go at it! Maybe I'll get lucky and catch something other than pidgey and rattata when I'm walking home from work this week lol

Squirrel July 29th, 2016 8:08 PM

Ok guys, it's day 1 so we'll start off with something relatively easy which most people should be able to catch without much trouble. Today's red assignment is...

Day 1 (July 30th): Krabby!

Post your screenshots once you have caught him and remember to show the date! As long as the date in your timezone is July 30th when you capture it then it counts for 2 points. Good luck to everyone :)

And of course, new entrants can still join the competition whilst the hunting is underway!

François July 29th, 2016 9:04 PM

I'm in. The new Britney single is really motivational for taking part in contests.

Phoenixstarz July 29th, 2016 11:56 PM

I caught one at 23.42 last night lol, maybe with a bit of luck I can find one before midnight tonight :D

Edit: found one this morning :)
How do I post a screenshot on here?

buttlet32 July 30th, 2016 7:56 AM

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vlo9ZTK8mLa5hiw8XEKvZMWndUdX0rZ56oQavciQ5k8/edit?usp=sharing I didn't know how to add the screenshot, so I did this instead. I hope this is acceptable.

You can upload the picture from your phone to your computer (either upload it via something like Facebook or just plug your phone into your computer and upload it directly) and then upload that picture to a site like Imgur, then paste it here. There are quicker ways but this is probably the easiest :)

Yep that's completely fine haha. Uploading to Imgur or something might be easier for you than creating a doc each time but this is fine :D

Sirindu July 30th, 2016 3:18 PM

Got TWO! =D But I don't get anything extra for that, do I ... that's okay though. Official screenshot to confirm later.

Squirrel July 30th, 2016 3:47 PM

Having no luck at all finding this stupid crab! Think I may have to end up leaving him until later in the week :(

VisualJae July 30th, 2016 6:58 PM

I can participate...

Does obtaining one from an egg count?

Sirindu July 30th, 2016 7:28 PM

See date. There you are! I did have a second, but as I understand it that shouldn't make a difference to the score (just correct me if I'm wrong).

Here's looking at tomorrow!

Yep, only one Krabby counts :)

Ok guys, it's day 2 and we're looking for something orange today! Only a few of us managed to wrangle the elusive red Krabby yesterday, so now it's on to something a little more common... Today's orange assignment is...

Day 2 (July 31st): Paras!

Post your screenshots once you have caught it and remember to show the date! As long as the date in your timezone is July 31st when you capture it then it counts for 2 points. Good luck to everyone :)

And of course, new entrants can still join the competition whilst the hunting is underway! The difficulty will ramp up slowly over the course of the week so be prepared!

Mister Coffee July 30th, 2016 10:34 PM

It's 11:30pm here, hope I'm not too late to post! I caught this little guy this afternoon.

You can post the images any time you like as long as the Pokémon was caught on the correct day - doesn't matter even if you post the screenshots 5 days after you catch it haha. Congrats on the 2 points!
