Wait... this is a official event from the actual PokeMMO team that will be supported thru the game? Not hosted by a mod. Like hosted by the developers and everything?!?

It's going to be a big group effort from everyone involved to make this event work. Definitely not like your typical event but will all be worth it if it turns out how we think it will for the player base!

All events in the "Official events" section of the forum are official events hosted by PokeMMO staff

There have been a few questions about why scoring is being handled the way it is. To clear things up a bit, the event is structured in a way that allows us to score shinies using only information visible from our end instead of reaching out to 1500 players to prove the legitimacy of their entries. We're not willing to rely on screenshot evidence, we're leaving no room for cheating in this event.

 

We can see the OT shinies caught within the event timeframe (if they're still on the registered character), their rare attributes (secret/alpha), and verify whether or not they were bred from shiny+shiny parents, but we can't tell where they were caught, their encounter methods, their original levels, or which evolution stages they were at. This is why we opted for evolution line-based scoring with no bonuses for eggs, single encounters, or safari catches. We can't verify this information without contacting players individually.

 

Mysterious Balls were allowed due to their finite supply, the low rates of rare species within them, and the method's similarity to reviving fossils. They may give a few teams a minor head start but are unlikely to significantly affect final scores.
