Tournament
The Tournament is a weekly event that was added to PokéFarm on August 12, 2016.
- Note: Visit this page to view all the previous Tournaments!
Users participate in events that are centered around various features on site, such as hatching eggs and scouring. Each Event has three tasks that increase with difficulty. Each one cleared gives a higher reward at the end of the Tournament. Tokens are awarded to those who complete these tasks, Tokens can then be used for various prizes in the Prize Shop. Tokens are also tradable between users.
Current Tournament
Below is a breakdown of what can be found in this section on the main Tournament page.
Seasons and Events
A Season consists of 12 events and affects what is available in the Prize Shop, as well as what Tokens and Fakemon are given out as prizes each Tournament. As of Season 2, Tokens can be traded down from Red to Blue Tokens. The amount of Tokens awarded at the end of the Tournament is dependent on the task completed. So completing the Easy Task will award 1 Token, completing the Medium Task will award 3 Tokens, and completing the Hard Task will award 5 Tokens. Target awards do not stack, so if the Hard Task is completed, the user will only receive 5 Tokens.
Tournament Schedule
Times listed go by PokéFarm's current server time.
08:00 Saturday - Sign-up opens, users can join here.
07:00 Monday - The event begins.
06:59 Saturday - The event closes, scores are counted.
08:00 Saturday - Prizes can be claimed from the tournament page.
The objective changes with each event, each event revolves around a site feature. From interacting to hatch and evolve Pokémon, to passive events like scouring.
Progress
Below is a breakdown of what can be found in this section on the main Tournament page.
This is where the user's personal progress on the current event is displayed. The current score/points for the user is displayed above the event targets. When a target is completed, a tick will appear next to it.
The Leaderboard is the more competitive aspect of the Tournaments. There are places for 50 users on the Leaderboard. Getting onto the Leaderboard requires the user to have a higher score than the user in 50th place, the scores are updated approximately every hour. When the Tournament closes, the 50 users who are on the Leaderboard (or more if there are users tied for 50th place) are awarded an Exclusive Egg, this egg changes with each event and one random egg given out is guaranteed to hatch as a Shiny, Albino, or (very rarely) Melanistic.
Prize Shop
Below is a breakdown of what can be found in this section.
The Tournament Prize Shop can be found underneath the total amount of tokens, in the appropriately named, Tournament Tokens section. Here users can exchange tokens for prizes, the prizes include Pokemon and items. Fakemon can also be obtained from here. For the moment only Fakemon need Tokens to be unlocked. However it has been confirmed by Niet that Season Two Fakemon will have unlocking requirements. Proof of this can found here. Shop prices have also been changed to reflect the fact tokens can be traded.
Currently, Milotic and Sylveon can be obtained from the Prize Shop, they are otherwise unobtainable as their evolution methods have yet to be programmed in.
The shop is structured in an accordion, as such clicking on the titles like 'Season 1 Fakemon' will open that part of the shop. The first section has Fakemon, these can be unlocked with Tokens and then additional eggs can be purchased with GP. The second section has Miscellaneous Prizes, like Mega Stones and Forme Changers. Milotic and Sylveon can be found here, along with the Pokémon Egg of XD001, as they are not Fakemon or PFQ exclusive.

Tokens
Tokens are used as a currency in the Prize Shop, which can be found mentioned above. They are normally obtained by participating in the Tournament but they can also be obtained by trading. They currently serve no other purpose.
Tokens change when a Tournament season changes, but can be traded in for previous Seasons' Tokens at a 1:1 ratio. So Red Tokens can be traded for Blue Tokens, but not the other way around.
Below is a table of Seasons, the Tokens awarded and how many events took place in the Season.
