Events are special occurrences on-site that can include rewards like Items or special Pokémon. They have a set start and end date and cannot be performed after they ended. Events are usually announced in the Public Forums, but sometimes remain surprises to the user.

Types of Events

There are different kinds of Events

  • Event Rank: The Event is distributed through the Event Rank.
  • Clicking-Event: A certain number of Interactions have to be reached by a user alone or by all user together.
  • Gifting-Event: The purpose of this Event is to gift other users a present.
  • Appearance-Event: This Events change the Appearance of PokéFarm, the Pokémon Sprites or the Egg Sprites, after the Event is over everything is changed back and does not influence the user in any way.
  • Other: Everything that does not belong in the other categories, this includes games that have to be played or the Advent Calender.

Independent of the type an Event can have one or more different prizes. Possible rewards are:

  • A new species of Pokémon
  • Custom Sprites, which are Pokémon whose appearance has been modified
  • Special Items
  • No reward, usually Appearance-Events do not have a reward, but it is also possible that Gifting-Events do not have one.
  • Other

Events Page

The Events page provides information about the Banked Interaction Points, earned Interaction Points for the next Event and the Rank. The Events Page updates once an hour. Banked Interaction Points can be used to purchase an Event, all Interaction Points are banked after the Event is over. The Event Rank depends on how many Interaction Points a user earned compared to other user. The Banked Interaction Points do not count. Only user who are in the top 1,000 get the chance to win the Event by spinning a wheel, the user on the 1st place gets the Event instantly.

Events can be purchased until a month after the Event has been released. With an Early Event Pass it is possible to purchase it after it has been released, a user in Hypermode has to wait one week and a regular user two weeks.

Claiming a Reward

If the Event takes place outside of the Event Page then the announcement regarding the Event explains how the reward can be claimed. 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 and have to be accepted in the Trade Centre.

Obtaining the Reward without participating in the Event

Currently the only way of purchasing a missed Event is on the Events Page through Banked Interaction Points. Because of this it is only possible to obtain missed Custom Sprites and items by trading with another user. New Species can be 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.

List of Events

For information about ongoing Events, please visit Current Events. A for detailed information about concluded Events please visit Past Events.

Events are ordered in reverse chronological order, starting with the most recent.

Mass-click Weekend 2 [30/August/2014 - 31/August/2014]

All interactions that a user made within this two day period go towards the goal of 10,000 interactions. When and if the goal was met that user would be awarded a Jumpluffite W that was given out the following Monday. If all the users' interactions would reach the site goal of 25,000,000 then another prize would be given out. The community made a total of 23,292,781 interactions. For its great work during the Event, Niet rewarded anyone who completed the 10,000 goal with that special prize, which turned out to be a Custom Sprite of a Floette called "AZ's Floette".

Mass-click Weekend [26/July/2014 - 27/July/2014]

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.

Voltorb Flip [16/May/2014 - 26/May/2014]

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 here while the large table displaying everyone's hard work can be found here.

The game was initially reached by this link, but now it only displays your own results.


April Fool's Day [1/Apr/2014]

I set up you the bomb!

All Pokémon sprites were changed to one of Espurr in a bubble. Upon viewing a Pokémon's Summary Page, the owner's name would show up as CATS, one of the site's Non-Playable Characters.

The event is a reference to Zero Wing, a video game which has become infamous on the internet for its extremely bad translation. 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.


Valentine's Day [14/Feb/2014 - 16/Feb/2014]

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.

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.

Advent Calendar [1/Dec/2013 - 25/Dec/2013]

On the first day of December 2013, the Advent Calendar was started. the calendar could be viewed by going to a specific page for it. When the page was visited, the user could receive a reward. These rewards would be unique Accessories, in sets of five each. Currently, these Accessories can not be found anywhere else. A single Accessory set would be obtainable for one day in sever-time. Once the reset happened, the current Accessory set would be swapped out for another.

The event ran from December 1st to December 24th. In that time, these Accessories were obtainable:

  • Big Candy Cane
  • Blue Bauble
  • Blue/Silver Bauble
  • Blue Tinsel Tree

On December 25th, the calendar page would have a new event. On that day, the user could interact 1,000 times to get a reward. The reward turned out to be a Mightyenite Q, a Mega Stone.
