Lab

The Lab Page.

The Lab is the first place that farmers will go when they join PokéFarm Q. It can be accessed from the NavBar at the top of any page.

Prof. Holly's Laboratory, more commonly known as the 'Lab', is the first place in which new members of the community of PokéFarm will find themselves. After meeting with the esteemed professor the user will be offered their first Egg, which can be chosen from any one of the Starter Pokémon offered. After the user receives their first Egg, they will be given tasks from Prof. Holly to familiarise them with the game.

The Lab is an important location from which users can receive a constant supply of Eggs ranging from all regions of the Pokémon world. It should be noted that the Eggs seen in the lab are exclusive to them only, meaning no one can steal an Egg displayed on the page before them. There is no adoption limit in the Lab.

Navigating the Lab

When in the Lab, a few different tabs can be accessed. The tabs that may appear are as follows:

• Guest: Prompts the viewer to log in or create an account to fully access the site. If logged in, this tab is replaced by Eggs.
• Eggs: Shows adoptable Pokémon Eggs. If not logged in, this tab is replaced by Guest.
• Upgrades: Allows the purchase of Lab Reloaders and Lab Speed Boost. This tab only appears while logged in.
• Fossil Revival: Allows users to revive Fossils into Prehistoric Pokémon. This tab only appears if the user has a Fossil in their inventory.
• About PokéFarm: Explains a bit about the site, and provides a link to the forums. If not logged in, it includes a place to log in.
• Characters you may meet: Contains biographies for 7 important characters at PokéFarm: Holly, Laurel, Niet, Garthic, Sei, Sally, Doug
• About the Laboratory: Explains the purpose the Laboratory.

Adopting Eggs

When logged in, eight Pokémon Eggs will be displayed at the top of the Lab page. When a user first starts out, only four of the eggs will be available to them until they meet the unlock requirements for the other four eggs. Each available egg has a short description. If the Eggdex for a particular egg has already been obtained, the name of the Pokémon that will hatch will be displayed as well. If the Eggdex has not been obtained, the name of the Pokémon will be replaced with question marks.

When an Egg is picked, it is added to the user's party. The remaining Eggs are swapped with new ones. If the user does not want to choose any of the viewed Eggs, they can reload and get a new batch. Users have 10 free reloads before they have to wait five minutes or use a Lab Reloader.

The Lab is also the only way to get a Ditto egg without ordering one from the Egg Supplier.

Upgrades

This section is where users may buy Lab Reloaders and Lab Speed Boost.

Lab Reloaders

Lab Reloaders are purchasable from this section with Interaction Points.. They allow users to bypass the 5 minute wait time to refresh the lab for new eggs. Interaction Points are earned through interacting with Eggs and Pokémon.

Bulk discounts apply on them.

The amount of Interaction Points a user has is also displayed.

Amount	x10	x40	x100
Price	10,000	30,000	60,000

Lab Speed Boost

Lab Speed Boost items reduce the cooldown Reload Timer by 30 seconds each. However, only 2 Lab Speed Boost Items will work. This means that instead of waiting 5 minutes to reload the lab a user could wait either 4 minutes and 30 seconds or 4 minutes. Users may purchase Lab Speed Boosts in this section for 100 each.

Lab Speed Boost items are a permanent item.

Fossil Revival

Fossil Revival Section

Fossils can be found rarely on scour missions. The Fossil Revival section is normally hidden unless the user has a fossil in their inventory.

A user must select a fossil that they own to start the revival process. Users are then required to make 1,500 interactions to revive the Pokémon, which is also displayed as a percentage in the user's timers bar.

Pokémon that are revived from fossils are considered prehistoric and will grant a larger EXP boost (180%) to eggs of the same species.

Trivia

• When an egg with question marks shows up in the lab, the number of question marks correlates to the number of letters in the Pokémon's name.
• Ditto currently has a 1/295 chance of appearing on any single lab reload.
  • This could change as more Pokémon are added.
• Before the 21^st of February 2024:
  • Users could only choose from 4 eggs.
  • Lab Reloaders were bought with GP.
  • Lab Speed Boosts were not around to help make the timer go faster.
