@SirStone, answer is no. There isn't.

I'm going to be real for a second. This event wasn't very well thought out. I was actually looking forward to this event, but now I'm just upset for a few reasons. 1) I can't participate. I don't have Riolu in my egg dex which means I can't find it in the tall grass. This also means that everyone who has joined in the last few months won't have any of the pokemon in their egg dex. So they are excluded as well. 2) The people who can't afford the radar or it's chips are excluded. 3) There is not a fair chance for everyone. Rare candies are useable, so if you can afford them, you'll be in the top 750. 4) I am in the middle of a shiny mega hunt so I am not about to throw away months of work just for a egg, that in all reality I might not even be able to get. So an event I was actually wanting to participate in, I can't and that makes me equally upset and frustrated. This site is supposed to be fun, but this event isn't.

Yeah, I big agree. They should've made the 'mons visible to everyone, and somehow excluded rare candy usage. This is why I wasn't gonna bother from the start, it definitely prioritizes older/richer users over newer/poorer users. :x

I would rather have more experienced users in my opinion, seems pretty harsh, but all it takes is an Egg Radar, Egg Chip (Medium) and the eggdexes of all three. (You can get all three before the event ends or probably 3 days)

Riako did great, loved the sign-up idea, but people are already exploiting/finding a way to get around this finding the spot then signing up.

Pretty much this is all that needs to be fixed. Flutes should be allowed, but rare candies are too unfair.

People often think the PH sprites are bland. Do they shade? Well, yes they do. You'll be surprised how much care is taken for these sprites.

So the reason why I can't find riolu n swablu in tall grass is because I still have no eggdex of them... How sad... :(

i have none of them in my eggdex and i have no way of getting them because how in the world are you supposed to find 3 specific pokemon in a pool of 800+ of them in 12 days
especially when it's all randomized and you have no way of knowing what is where until you wait so long that the egg was most likely snatched away by the time you can tell what pokemon is in there

It's no longer necessary to have the EggDex entries for Riolu, Ponyta and Swablu to be able to search for them in the Tall Grass :)

The glitched ranklists have been fixed.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy the event but there's a huge gap in the rewards. You have 1. SM which should be right. But then after that you only got Mega able and normal ones. Why not a section of winners say between Megaables and no.1 ranks with shiny Pokemon of the event? ♡ it'll help all the shiny hunters on site!

Maby it would be an idea to make an higher rate of shiny chance with the normal event eggs user can win .. dont know if it is possible ... maby a 50% chance? ...and the chance to find the eggs in tall grass fast or not fast is the same on every users side ;) .. i am a bit unlucky too with it ^^

Title: Some Feedback

Allowing people to use items just doesn't seem fair...single digit minute times? People are just paying--basically cheating--their way to victory, pushing everyone else down. There are people who played their best without items but won't rank because others used rare candies and...something to raise their luck in tall grass? I don't even know what that is. Just something to consider for next time I guess...

.. there is no way to raise the luck in tall grass, same chance for all here... there is everytimes many time to collect rare candies in a normal way if user collect this items for a coming event or medal ralley or whatever the have enough for using them then. I can only give this tip to everybody ...

on the one hand this is a nice event , a new idea and such

on the other hand it is a race ... you need to be quick wich is a downside ... makes it a bit luck based like victini + it needs the easy and medium chip wich makes it kind of impossible for newer players who don't have those chips

all in all i have my doubts about this event yet i find the idea pretty cool

I'm simply annoyed that users who are popular and have loads of rare candies are easily going to be in the top #75, PH is not fair towards users who aren't popular, or don't have enough money to do stuff.

Does anybody knows what will happen if some weird circumstances that you won't beat your faster time at the scavenger hunt after trying it out again? :O

EDIT :

It's interesting to see that the #51 - #100 rankings restarts at #1 instead of starting at #51? :O

I won the "Event Spriting Contest" as it says on News Announcement #224.

Right I thought the rankkist for 51 through 100 was numbered weirdly too

For future events like this I have a couple ideas

- Probably a "special" tall grass that appears on the event page (separate from the regular tall grass)
It works the same but you can't start early / there's only the three options to choose from - everyone is just starting the search before they click "start" on the event, negating the difficult part of the race

-Perhaps a temporary event flute that costs PD? While premium + flute is a motivator to support the site (as I've done in the past, and will do in the future), having a Pokedollar flute that lasts as long as the event will even the playing field for younger users who can't buy premium.
I'd say as a rule for this one, you can only buy the PD flute if you're non-premium (and it doesn't stack with the nugget flute), as it's still not going to give you as much as premium or the premium + flute does in bonus EXP
Still pay to EXP, but if you're interacting for the event anyway, you should be able to make enough PD for the flute

If you can read this, you know how to read.

feel like the prize range is hella weird tho, like 1st one gets SM and after that its instantly 2-30 feel like it would add more fun if u had a little bit more of a rank goal like 1, 2-3,4-10,10-25,25-50, and such but maybe thats just me

I think the fairest set-up would have been whoever found the eggs themselves the fastest. Then, there would be no extra bonuses for being popular, having premium, having flutes, having a ton of rare candies / money for rare candies, or anything else.
