After reaching the object of the Event the reward can be claimed, usually the announcement regarding an Event explains how the rewards are given out. The reward is either send to the users who deserve it or has to be picked up by them on the designated page. User are not notified about items being sent to them, instead they appear in the [[Inventory]] of the user. Pokémon are sent by [[System Salamence (NPC)|SYSTEM]] and have to be accepted in the [[Trade Centre]].
These are Events that occur with some regularity and can be expected to happen every month or week.

== Obtaining the Reward without participating in the Event ==
== Retired Events ==
Currently the only way of obtaining missed Custom Sprites and Items is to trade with somebody. New Species can be [[Breeding|bred]] or with much luck found in the [[Shelter]]. When breeding Events it is notable, that only 1% of all bred Event Eggs go to the Shelter.  
Events that take place without the Events page have usually special conditions that are either stated in the Event's [[Public_Forums#Announcements|Announcement]] or are left secret to the user. These Events are generally considered "Retired" and will not be returning in the same format.

=== Fabulous Friday [Every Friday starting from 8/Jun/2014] ===
*12 Days of Christmas
 
**[[12_Days_of_Christmas_2014|2014]]
On every Friday, all interactions made will fill a special charge bar located at [http://q.pokefarm.org/fabfriday this page], then the next day, the energy collected in the '' FabuBar♥'' will supercharge a random bonus counter located at the top of the page, regardless of the progress of the bonus counter itself. However, the strength of the bonus will depend on how charged up the bar is. Since it is a Special Bonus day, the counter will ''not'' reset afterwards.

*[[April Fools]]
All interactions made during this two day period went towards a goal of 10,000 interactions. If a user met this individual goal, that user was awarded a Floatzelite Q [[Mega Stone]] the following Monday evening. This event was joined with a special activation of additional Bonus Counters for the entire weekend.

**[[Astral_Disruption|Astral Disruption (2017)]]
During the majority of this time period (5/24-5/26 was an extension) PFQ was shut down, showing users only a read-only version of the website. The Big Update was being added at this time, and Niet provided users with a game similar to that found in Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Niet's version of Voltorb Flip operated similarly to the handheld's, albeit without an option to open a memo (a task proven moot by the user's ability to simply open Notepad or a similar application). During the gaming period, users competed to win one of several Sylveons: 60 Sylveons total were given out to the top 20 users in each of the three categories (Total Coins, Highest Level, Highest Win Ratio). A shiny Sylveon was given to the top placers in each category. A list of the winners can be found [http://q.pokefarm.org/forum/thread/4871/Voltorb-Flip-results here] while the large table displaying everyone's hard work can be found [http://q.pokefarm.org/voltorb_results here].

CATS' Trainer Card note, farm name, and Pokémon descriptions are all pieces of dialogue from the game's intro. His user description has a music player, which plays the game's intro theme.

From February 14th to February 16th, users could obtain Sweet Hearts. These odd items could give unique effects to Pokémon, as well as boost their Happiness. The effects are currently unknown, as they have not been programmed in yet.
*Labor Day
 
**[[A Dubious Dinner]]
The catch for Sweet Hearts, however, was that they could not be purchased directly. Instead, users must gift them to each other. On the purchasing screen, a user can select a user to gift to, how many Sweet Hearts to send, and whether or not to send them anonymously. A message can also be attached. Each Sweet Heart costs 1,000 Credits to send, but they can also be paid for in 10 [[Zophan Canisters]] each.

The amount of Sweet Hearts bought is kept track of. The top 10 buyers receive Heart Scales after the event. Again, these do not have a specific purpose currently.
