Happy Hunting

The Happy Hunting event was an Event that ran for one week in 2024, starting on March 24^th and ending March 31^st. As part of the event, there was a special egg hunting mechanic which involved collecting special painted eggs from across the site while the story progressed.

Story

The user arrives at the town square that is decorated for the holiday. The excited whispers of the crowd were growing to a cacophonic din. System Salamence roars for silence as Professor Holly makes her announcement about this year's Easter hunt. Niet has provided Sally with an array of special Eggs and instructions to deploy them across PokéFarm. Each egg contains an Easter Ticket that users will be able to use in the prize shop after the finishing touches are done. At the end of the day, users will bring their eggs back for counting and the winners will win bonus Easter Tickets! Prof. Holly then tells everyone to start egg hunting.

After the user finds their first egg, they notice an excited Flaroptera finding another egg. The user gets the idea to head to the Wishforge after seeing the gem that adorns Flaroptera's chest. Ravyne greets the user in the Wishforge and looks confused about what an Easter Egg is. After a few moments of thinking, Ravyne excitedly says, "The pretty orbbos! Yesyes- Not as tasty as sparkleshine..." Ravyne then says that they have lots of eggs but asks the user to "makepretend" they didn't hear that since the "Paintyeggs" are supposed to be in secret "hideyspots". After Ravyne states they want 5 "crunchyshinies" to find them the user turns to leave which causes Ravyne to change their mind and say only 2 "littlegems". By the time the user returns with the gems, Ravyne is munching on another gem instead and allows the user to find the "prettyorbbos".

The user barely has time to find two painted eggs when Ravyne finishes their snack and ushers the user back to town to go find somewhere new. The search comes to a Graveyard where a Kryptik is trying to keep the eternally hungry Zweilous from eating another hidden egg. The user successfully attempts to distract Zweilous with Pokeblocks. In return, Kryptik lets the user retrieve the painted egg and then the user searches the area finding 3 more eggs.

Unable to find anymore the user waves goodbye to Kryptik and heads to the forest. A sleeping Garganacl is blocking the pathway. After trying to call out for it to awaken, the user carefully gives Garganacl some Chesto Berries. Garganacl slowly focuses on the user and after a brief enquiry stands up and moves out of the way. It draws in the dirt and tries to explain that it fell asleep while waiting for someone. The Garganacl sits a bit away from the path and the user proceeds to find four more eggs.

Taimorpha excitedly runs over to greet the user after noticing their filled basket. It seems Taimorpha want to race find eggs with the user. The user searches the area thoroughly and manages to find ten more eggs before a Togepi comes marching out of some tall grass. Taimorpha notice the Togepi starting its own search and takes two eggs from her basket and hides them. Togepi is overjoyed when it finds one of the eggs. The race comes to a tie and others got to share in the fun! The user waves goodbye to Taimorpha and moves to an area with rolling green hills.

A Lunupine that is often seen around Prof. Holly's Lab is up ahead sniffing the road trying to track down her Kinaster. Her Kinaster has a habit of wandering off. As the user and Lunupine search together down the path they eventually find Kinaster in a hole on the side of the road. After Lunupine reprimands Kinaster for disappearing. Afterwards, Kinaster runs excited circles around the user wanting to follow them for more egg hunting. The party finds more eggs before arriving at the beach where they are greeted by the Orkit Twins, Oli and Olivia. Kinaster and the Twins run off, leaving the user and Lunupine behind and the user searches the Beach for more eggs.

Before the user knows it, the sun is setting! They call everyone over making sure they don't miss this important fact before they all head back to town. They arrive just in time to submit their eggs for the final count! One of the volunteer staff counts the user's eggs, popping each one open to reveal the Easter Ticket hidden inside. The user receives 25 Easter Tickets and an ID ticket with the number #133 on it. Prof. Holly takes the stage to announce the winners. In third place with 22 eggs, Ticket #45! A Cubone comes up to claim their prize of 10 Easter Tickets and thanks Holly. In second place with 24 eggs, Ticket #9! A Hallowe'en Witch Purrloin comes up to claim their prize of 15 Easter Tickets. Prof. Holly jokingly states that she hopes the Purrloin didn't steal any of the eggs from the other participants which Purrloin seems to get angry at. And the grand prize winner of 25 bonus Easter Tickets is... #133 with their amazing 25 Eggs! The user approaches to receive their reward. Prof. Holly thanks everyone for participating and their patience and hopes they had a lot of fun. She says the prize shop and EggSweeper minigame are now open for everyone to enjoy as they please. Over the course of the week, celebrations continue with high spirits and energy!

Easter Eggs created by Nunka.

The normal berries on a Pokémon's Summary Page and on each user's Party and Showcase pages were replaced with custom Easter Egg Images. Each of the six berries had its own unique Easter Egg design, reflecting each berry's flavour and design. Feeding a Pokémon an Easter Egg had the same effect as regular berries.
