You know how in the medal rally they have a competition for the strongest pokemon? I believe that the top three pokemon should have a medal under their description to show that they've won.
Also, each medal will provide bonuses to the pokemon they belong to.

Of the three people there, one has 0 medals, one has 1 medal, and one has six.

Pokemon can only ever be on there once and can only win a medal or have a medal link to them once, because they have to be hatched when the medal rally starts.

This is the part of the suggestion I 100% support, because it would be nice to have a special pokemon with a medal.

Now lets look at the other three, which I would like to repeat, are linked to users, not pokemon.

Of the most eggs hatched, currently only one of the three people is a "repeat winner" (the other two people have 0 and 3 medals respectively).

Say the "bonus" was a +.02% chance was hatching a shiny - this would encourage people not to participate in the most eggs hatched in the next round, because they can use that small percentage to do a shiny hunt instead.

---

In the most berries fed, only one person has a medal right now, and only one medal, so once again - not repeat people.

The prize for this one should be more balanced, perhaps the winner's berries will give +.25% exp for the 15 days after they win. More people would be encouraged to enter because they can help others with this bonus, or just help themselves.

The berry medal is also one of the most balanced to get, as you have to save up a LOT of berries beforehand to get the medal (I've done it before, I had to buy over 20k berries in a variety of flavors, and you have to work at it every single day)

---

The coinflip medal rally this time, once again only one person is a "constant winner".

But a Prize Exchange discount of maybe -1% off (bronze) -2.5% off(silver) and -5% off (gold) would encourage more people to play as well.

I do honestly think this is a cute suggestion. `w` I will not use it but it is really cute...
but maybe not on their sprite, that would cause Riako much pain because it would be hard to put a resized image to a sprite

so maybe in description perhaps?

---

Yeah, that seems like a much better idea. I had a feeling using something like pixlr and just dragging the badge onto them would be easy, but your idea seems better. Thanks for the suggestion.

---

bump~

---

Yes, i do support this idea, but one question, if you trade away/sell the pokemon will it still have the medal and will the pokemon cost more than it should because of the medal? (Or will it not be trade able)

---

I feel like it shouldn't be able to be traded.
That's like winning a WWE championship belt (even though WWE is fake) and giving it right away.

That depends on who wants to trade it or not. I'd say it is tradeable, just in case someone wants it to be. But I know some people would want to keep theirs and that's totally fine. It's not like anyone is forced to trade something to someone.
But, if you DO want to trade it, it will be worth more with the medal. No, I do not have a price range for each medal. The medal will be worth a certain amount on its own.

---

Okay
Bronze=15k
Silver=20k
Gold=50k
That's what I've got, but idk for sure if that's too much, or too little.

---

You can't just choose the prices right now .--. If this get implemented people will evaluate the effort of getting a medal and stabilizate a price.

---

I guess you're right.

---

Yeah, you can't put a price on it.
It'll be hard to set a price on something that basically has no value.

Like, look, a pokemon with a useless medal and no special effects.



Maybe an added suggestion:
Those with metals get a certain percentage boost to the exp they receive when interacted with. ^_^

Well, shinies only have a different useless color and people pay tons of money for one .-. A getting a medal at the Medal Rally is even harder than gettong a shiny.

---

True, but I wouldn't see anybody caring for a medal. ;^;

I personally would love a prized medal pokemon, and I think effects would be a great idea.
What if they depended on each kind, AND each ranking.
The berry one could gain more exp from berries.
The coin flip one could get more benefits from stuff bought with game chips.
Etc.
So, I personally like the idea.

---

Good suggestions! Maybe at the Berry one, you can get more Exp when feeding Pokémon for 15 days. At the Coin Flip, discounts at the Prize Exchange for 15 days.

---

But how are the Pokemon getting the medals for the other contests?

I thought this was just for the strongest pokemon?

The only thing I can add is perhaps the medal on your profile links to the mon (when it is for strongest?)

Amazing idea.



@Pilufa: I don't like the 15 days thing. Should be infinite.

Rakuugen: Are you kidding? Maybe one month or two, but a Medal Rally cycle only lasts 15 days, and normally the winners are the same (or almost thd same). Infinite discounts at the Prize Exchange would be too much OP.

---

Oh, true.
I forgot it's always the same winners.

Maybe, just cancel the Medal rally. If it's the same winners always, then there's no point for it.

Since this suggestion was originally only for the "strongest pokemon" let's look at that.

Of the three people there, one has 0 medals, one has 1 medal, and one has six.

Pokemon can only ever be on there once and can only win a medal or have a medal link to them once, because they have to be hatched when the medal rally starts.

---

And just because you've never won a medal rally, doesn't mean it needs to be removed. Whenever I participate, I plan it out ahead of time, and I've gotten medals all three times.
