At the beginning of every month, users are randomly assigned to one of 18 teams, each team corresponding to one of the 18 Pokémon Types. Once the 18 teams have all been cycled through, users will repeat the cycle by starting on the first team they had. Users can find out which team they are on either by visiting the Type Race page or by the symbol on their Trainer Card. | |||

To be eligible to receive personal or team prizes, a base score of 200 points must first be obtained. The number of points awarded for each egg hatched depends on the EHP of the egg, with one point awarded for every 5 Egg Cycles needed to hatch (1 point for every 1,280 EXP to hatch). | |||
This event's prizes consist of both a [[Z-Crystals|Z-Crystal]] and [[Z-Crystals#Z-Fragments|Z-Fragments]], which are earned by reaching a certain amount of points. Both prizes correspond to the user's type race team. Z-Crystals can be used to boost a user's Albino Radar per type for one day. Seven Z-Fragments can be traded in on the [[Albino Hunting|Albino Radar]] page for a full Z-Crystal. | |||
Up to fifteen fragments may be earned as a personal goal from the event. These fragments are awarded regardless of whether the Team Goal is reached, as long as 200 points are obtained first. | |||
The Team Rewards unlock when the team reaches 100,000 points. After unlocking the Team Rewards, all participants will be awarded up to 14 Z-Fragments. The three winning teams also receive additional fragments of the corresponding type. First place receives 4 Z-Fragments, second place receives 2 Z-Fragments, and third place receives 1 Z-Fragment. A bonus set of 7 targets ranging from 200k to 400k points are an additional challenge. Each target yields an additional Z-Fragment, so teams that clear the 400k goal will earn enough Fragments to make 2 Z-Crystals. | |||
Team Leaders of the Type Race Team Thread will receive between 2 to 16 Z-Fragments based on the result of their team members' feedback. Team members will receive 2 Z-Fragments just for voting, even if they abstain. | |||

The Type Race is a monthly Event that was added to PokéFarm on the 1st of August 2017. The Type Race page is located in the "Other Links" section of the Farm page.
A helpful guide to the Type Race Event can be found here if more information is needed.
Overview
At the beginning of every month, users are randomly assigned to one of 18 teams, each team corresponding to one of the 18 Pokémon Types. Once the 18 teams have all been cycled through, users will repeat the cycle by starting on the first team they had. Users can find out which team they are on either by visiting the Type Race page or by the symbol on their Trainer Card.
Type Race begins on the 2nd Sunday of each month and runs for 1 week. During the week of the event, users are tasked with hatching Eggs matching their team's Type to score points for their Team. Once the event period ends, prizes are awarded to all eligible participants, with an additional prize for the top three teams that scored the most points overall.
Albino chances are boosted by +20% for Eggs matching the user's team. This stacks with Z-Crystals.
As of the 8th of May 2024, during each Type Race, the V~Wave will always be Stellar-type, giving all types a +20% EXP boost. The Stellar Type V~Wave reduces the random advantage that some types get during the event and provides a global buff to everyone.[1]
- Note: Users may hatch eggs matching their team's type during the Type Race without breaking their current shiny chain. If the user tries to hatch any other egg that is not matching either their chain or their team's type it will break their shiny chain.
Teams
On the first day of each month, users are assigned a type on their Trainer Card that indicates which Type Race team they are on. Users can either visit the Type Race page or view their Trainer Card to find out which team they are on.
Each team is named after the corresponding Z-Move from the official games and are as follows.
Prizes
To be eligible to receive personal or team prizes, a base score of 200 points must first be obtained. The number of points awarded for each egg hatched depends on the EHP of the egg, with one point awarded for every 5 Egg Cycles needed to hatch (1 point for every 1,280 EXP to hatch).
This event's prizes consist of both a Z-Crystal and Z-Fragments, which are earned by reaching a certain amount of points. Both prizes correspond to the user's type race team. Z-Crystals can be used to boost a user's Albino Radar per type for one day. Seven Z-Fragments can be traded in on the Albino Radar page for a full Z-Crystal.
Up to fifteen fragments may be earned as a personal goal from the event. These fragments are awarded regardless of whether the Team Goal is reached, as long as 200 points are obtained first.
The Team Rewards unlock when the team reaches 100,000 points. After unlocking the Team Rewards, all participants will be awarded up to 14 Z-Fragments. The three winning teams also receive additional fragments of the corresponding type. First place receives 4 Z-Fragments, second place receives 2 Z-Fragments, and third place receives 1 Z-Fragment. A bonus set of 7 targets ranging from 200k to 400k points are an additional challenge. Each target yields an additional Z-Fragment, so teams that clear the 400k goal will earn enough Fragments to make 2 Z-Crystals.
Team Leaders of the Type Race Team Thread will receive between 2 to 16 Z-Fragments based on the result of their team members' feedback. Team members will receive 2 Z-Fragments just for voting, even if they abstain.

During the first week of each month, users will have a chance to become their type's Team Leader by creating a Team Thread. The Type Race Announcement thread announces when users can apply, vote, and when the team threads are open.

- If at least two people apply for leadership a poll is created.
- Members of their team may then vote on which thread they want. The winner of the poll becomes the leader. Attempts to vote for another team's poll will be rejected.
- 7th: Polls close and team threads are moved to the main forum and unlocked.

Team Leaders should stay active, communicate to help boost morale, coordinate with any teammate who may volunteer to host a raffle for the team, and set an example for their teammates. They should also report issues like double-posting, unauthorised trading, and spam that may occur in their team thread.
- Note: Users should not apply to be a Team Leader if they will not be active or participate in the Type Race. Team Leaders also should not try to address any rule-breaking; this would count as mini-modding, which is against the rules.
