[yeet dab xd]

Hosted a Contest-themed fish on July 3rd @ 9 AM EDT
this hunt was quite a menace it seems

shouts to aQrator & WarriorGallade for QCing

1st place: Menace02 [01:36:29].

Hunt

1) All questions refer to a North American copy of Pokemon Emerald in 2023 - that is, with no events or communicating with other Gen 3 games. After becoming Champion, I'd like to try out some contests. First, I head to Lilycove City. To make the best solo Pokeblocks, I talk to someone who would avoid ruining five certain blends by using these weaker Berries. (alpha) Cornn, Magost, Nomel, Rabuta, Tamato / Cornn Berry, Magost Berry, Nomel Berry, Rabuta Berry, Tamato Berry
2) With the Blend Master's help, I make the spiciest Pokeblocks I can. To maximize my optimal appeal for those Contests, I’ll need a certain combination of moves. To that end, I catch these three Pokemon: one to be my contest prodigy, and the other two because they can pass said moves to it at the lowest level. (alpha) Machop, Nincada, Smeargle (The combination was Mind Reader + Submission)
3) After some hypothetical hard work and dedication, Smeargle is a Cool Contest star - just not a Super one. After fully completing the game, I insert Emerald into my DS and transfer my Pokemon and Berries to Platinum. But for Sinnoh's Contests, I'll need to make some Poffins - this time, with communications. Using only the Berries I could obtain in Emerald, I make the highest-level Poffin possible in exactly 60 seconds: level 86. List the four Berries used alphabetically. Lansat, Liechi, Starf, Watmel / Lansat Berry, Liechi Berry, Starf Berry, Watmel Berry

Solution

1) In Pokémon Puzzle Challenge, defeating a beauty rewards you with this Pokémon. [Sentret]
2) When playing a puzzle that looks that looks like this image <cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1077207284146503700/1116695385671483392/Puzzle.jpg>, you are playing as this Pokémon. [Totodile]
3) By inputting a long sequence of specific button presses, you can play as this character in Marathon or Garbage mode. [Lip]

1) On this date (format as DD-MM-YYYY), Sandshrew was announced to be the ambassador to Japan's Tottori prefecture. [06-12-2018 / 6-12-2018]
2) If you went to the coordinates {34 degrees, 51 minutes North, 134 degrees, 32 minutes East}, then these are all of the Pokemon you can find at the manholes. (alpha) [aromatisse bayleef cloyster gastrodon lugia]
3) Poké Lids aren't a one-off thing! As part of the campaign that introduced them, a bunch of other Pokemon related merchandise was created. The image attached details one such piece of merch. What's the english text in the image below, indicated by the red question mark? https://prnt.sc/yyij0gnqJ3sK [curry udon]
4) But why stop at just merch? As part of the same campaign, you could obtain a pack of chips with both forms of Exeggutor on the cover in a gift bag. However, obtaining it when it was first released would need you to be in a vehicle. If you obtained the chips this way, then what is the registration of the vehicle you'd be in? [JA803X / JA812X]

Solution

1) This is the only Pokemon whose game of origin must be Pokemon GO. [Meltan]
2) This Pokemon cannot be obtained as shiny in Pokemon GO, but its evolved form can be obtained as shiny. [Chingling]
3) As of 2022, after transferring from Pokemon GO, this Pokemon can be obtained as level 1, as a male, or as a shiny, but not all three at the same time (when females could satisfy the other conditions). [Jellicent]

3rd place: LJB14 [36:06].

Consolation Prize: Teutonic✠Squire! [01:58:03], Illusio [02:00:32], p0ip0le [02:17:24]

Answers:

1) In a playthrough of Pokémon Black, this is the earliest location that the player can have a Pokémon with both Surf and Fly, without requiring an Internet/Infrared connection. [Twist Mountain]
2) In one of the first three discs of the Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection, there is a short track that only plays when six Pokémon of a certain species are brought together to the same location (Only one of these Pokémon needs to be provided by the player). Name the required Pokémon species first, then name the location the track plays in B2W2. You do not need to listen to the track itself to solve this question. [Tympole, Opelucid City]
3) In Generation V, there are a handful of Pokémon that are hit neutrally by only one type each, excluding abilities. Among these Pokémon, ignore the existence of the one with the highest Speed stat. Then, alphabetically list every location in Generation V main games that the player can obtain such a Pokémon before the post-game, without requiring an Internet/Infrared connection. [Chargestone Cave, Virbank Complex]

Solutions:

1) You can catch Ducklett on Charizard Bridge, then you can get the Fly HM at Driftveil City, and then you can get the Surf HM at Twist Mountain.
2) The track's name is "Tympole Choir", and it plays in Opelucid City when you take a Tympole to a guy inside a house with five Tympole. Here's a video.
3) Only Magnemite, Magneton, and Magnezone qualify with their Electric/Steel typing. They're only neutral to Water.
Pokéstar Studios opponents are canonically not Pokémon, so Pokéstar MT2 does not count. Thus, Magneton is the Pokémon to be excluded.
In BW, the only way to get a Magnemite is to catch it in White Forest (which is post-game), and its evolutions can't be found. Thus, you cannot obtain any member of the Magnemite line before post-game in BW.
In B2W2, you can catch Magnemite at Virbank Complex, while you can catch Magnezone at P2 Laboratory (which is post-game).
You can obtain Magneton by evolving a Magnemite with a Rare Candy anywhere. That's why Magneton is excluded.
However, you can only evolve Magneton in Chargestone Cave, which is the only way to obtain a Magnezone before the post-game.
In B2W2, breeding is post-game only, so you cannot just breed a Mag with Ditto and hatch the egg anywhere before the post-game.

1) A book written by a known character can be found in the Academy's bookshelves, which is a version of this key item from a previous generation. [Sonia's Book]
2) A character in the Academy gifts the player a Pokemon whose evolution does not have a Pokedex entry. Assuming that they caught the Pokemon in the wild without any raid battles, name all locations in all mainseries games they could have caught this Pokemon. [Galar Route 4 / Route 4]
3) During the story of SV, Director Clavell asks the player what "cheugy" means. This changes in other languages. In German, if the player replies that the word means "toll" (great), he uses the word to describe this. [Weather / Wetter / The weather / Das Wetter]

Solution:

1) Visiting this location could allow you to receive email. [gts / global terminal]
2) You've got mail! Well no, you got a Nosepass instead. To have a Nosepass be able to OHKO an opposing Drifblim on the first turn of (single) battle, moving first, without a crit, and without moves calling other moves, you would need to have some Pokemon with you to perform some prior setup. Assume max stats, and you can use held items. Consider all of the Pokemon usable, and answer with the highest BST Pokemon you can use for each step in this setup if you do not involve NPC movesets at all. (alpha) [aggron ditto probopass salamence smeargle / aggron ditto probopass salamence]
Explanation: The only move that can OHKO under these conditions without a crit is Head Smash. Now, Nosepass can't learn that move legally, but it is an egg move. This is where you use the Rage glitch to ensure a Ditto inherits both Head Smash and Rage from an Aggron and Salamence respectively (with a Smeargle optionally copying the moves). Putting this Ditto in the Daycare with a female Probopass gets you your smashing compass.
3) Within DPPt, there is exactly one trainer who can have all the IVs for one of their Pokemon be different values when they battle you. What are all the moves known by that Pokemon? (alpha) [firepunch gigaimpact quickattack thunderpunch]

2) These Shadow Pokemon are unable to be caught the first time they are seen in battle. Hitmontop, Nosepass, Zangoose
3) Every Shadow Pokemon able to be snagged in these locations were fully-evolved at the time, but received an evolution in a later generation. Outskirt Stand, The Under Subway

2) At 11 total Pokémon, this is the most common ability that is always the first ability of Pokémon with 3 abilities. [hyper cutter]

Original Post

Welcome to the Scavenger Room's upcoming UGO Event – the Puzzle Weekend! Taking place from July 22nd to 24th, this event will feature several puzzles, similar to those found in the MIT Mystery Hunt or Silph Puzzle Hunt! Participate in teams of 5 to be the first team to complete the final metapuzzle and win the competition! Huge UGO Points are on the line for the winning team!

Event Structure
The event comes in the form of a puzzle hunt, where teams compete to solve puzzles. The hunt consists of six puzzles, five of which are stand-alone and can be solved without input from any of the other puzzles. The last puzzle is a metapuzzle, meaning it will take input from the solutions of the other five puzzles, so be prepared! This event is targeted at beginner solvers and as such will feature fairly straightforward puzzles.

The puzzle hunt will kick off with the puzzles being released at 14:00 UTC on Saturday, July 22nd, 2023. It will run for 48 hours and conclude at 14:00 UTC on Monday, July 24th, 2023. Alternatively, here is a countdown timer so you can track the event time more easily.

After 24 hours have elapsed, every team will receive 2 hints, these hints will be either a nudge towards the correct direction or correcting a mistake you've made!

Prizes
Prizes for this event will be awarded in the form of points toward the currently ongoing Ultimate Gaming Olympics 3 (UGO3).

UGO points will be awarded (per member) as follows:

• 20 points for each regular puzzle solved
• 50 points for solving the metapuzzle
• +150 point bonus for the winning team
• +120 point bonus for the 2nd place team
• +90 point bonus for the 3rd place team
• +60 point bonus for the 4th place team
• +30 point bonus for the 5th place team

This means that the maximum number of points is 300! What are you waiting for? Grab 4 of your friends and spend your weekend solving puzzles!

The Puzzle Weekend itself will take place in the Discord server here.

1) Excluding Pokemon hatched from eggs, there's exactly one non-forme Pokemon that has shiny odds more common than 1/8192 within all of Gen 3. What is it? [jirachi]
2) Now, let's say you obtained the Jirachi mentioned in Q1 (legally, with no glitches) as a shiny with a Sp. Def IV of 20 or higher, then it would only have any of these three natures. (alpha) [careful naughty serious]
3) However, it is possible to obtain a shiny Jirachi in Gen 3 without the restrcition in the last question! In the game that would allow you to do so, use the E-reader functionaliy. This would allow you to see a (monochrome) drawing of Jirachi, along with separate similar (monochrome) drawings of two other Pokemon. What are they?(alpha) [kyogre pikachu]

The unrated scavenger hunt by WarriorGallade was ended automatically.
1st place: p^_^okemonvortex. [10:37].

Solution:
1) All questions for this hunt occur within the same games. All non-legendary Pokemon encountered in this location with tall grass will always have at least 2 perfect IVs when encountered, even if encountered for the first time. [friendsafari]
2) Within tall grass, you can encounter these non-legendary Pokemon that have at least 3 perfect IVs when encountered, excluding Pokemon that can only be found via Friend Safari. This will hold true no matter where you find them, even if encountered for the first time. (alpha) [azurill budew chingling nidorina riolu]
3) Lastly, to be able to encounter Pokemon in tall grass with at least 3 perfect IVs regardless of location or egg groups, you would need to successfully use a specific key item. Depending on how many times that item gets used (in a specific manner), you can be rewarded by a NPC. What items can this NPC give you? (alpha) [ppmax ppup rarecandy ultraball]

Round 7 - sabby60 has been eliminated! p^_^okemonvortex. have successfully completed the last hunt and have moved on to the next round!
Congratulations to the winner - p^_^okemonvortex.!

The last hunt in this rally also contains an easter egg for something I may do in future, so if you've found it, you know what to expect :^
