Hello I will share with you what I think about the fishing contest.
First im agree with Xyteh
because its anoying to get kidnapped 30 s because he show us the whole leaderboard,
the main problems (for me its only my opinion)
1- the time is way to long for me 30-45mn should be enought
2- the calculation of points is actualy not fair for me
Here an example :
carvanha one= 130 ivs (126 if we avoid spatk)
carvanha two = 152 ivs (125 if we avoid sp atk)
for me there is 2 problems here
First one :
the nature dosn't give enought points, you can just look the top 3 on gold and silver both was principally fail sync pokemon,
idk about ability but it could be the same problem.
Second problem:
most of Pokémon got an useless stat and it should be take in consideration,
because here its realy not fair the second carvanha got like 70 points more than the first one and for me its a real problem.
I got same problem with my wishiwashi I drop a quiet one not realy good but not that bad too
Wishiwashi the most useless stat is the speed ( this is why we play him quiet) and if we play him in Trick Room we want the lowest speed but in this contest a godly wishiwashi quiet with 01 speed who gonna be probably the best drop on this contest but he will lose because the speed is taken in consideration on the calculations of point (im not talking about mine bcs 3 atk make it already very sad but even with 30 atk I think I wouldn't be in top 3 because of 9 speed).
That's prety sad and unfair because for the moment on this contest its not the best poke who win the contest.
I think on every poke we should found the useless stat and dont take in consideration this stat to be sure the winner got the best poke.
about spawn I think we need to remove alomomola or change it for another pokemon (it could be clauncher for example) because to have max points with alomomola we need Ha and its not optimal in this area since its the only one who need ha in this area ? (in rare pokemon).

I think im not the type of target player about these reward but I can understand there are pretty fine for most of player in pro
because :
1 instantly consumed 7-day Train Ticket
- its still apreciate but not really needed for me
24-hour Safari Ticket
- I think a lot of player like me already have a lot Safari pass in their bag even the 48h safari pass from reporter quest
an assortment of 2-3 (different) PvP Berries for a total of 15 Berries
- its cool but only if we have real PVP berries usefull like sallac or superberry (if codded) because most of berries i saw in reward yesterday was useless one (rnged I guess)
super berry :
Aguav Berry
Figy Berry
Iapapa Berry
Mago Berry
Wiki Berry
mental herbe could be nice too as a reward because its really hard to found them at the moment,
this is the list of popular items in pvp on showdown as you can see most of berrys you gived to us are not in the this list
custap berry could be nice too (but not codded yet ?)
eject button and red card would be a good additional content and could make a real interest for the rewards.
20 Rare Candies; 10 PP Up:
- appreciate and i think this is fine tbh
a possible change of form for Keldeo
- I dont like skin on legendary pokemon (its only my oppinion so dont take this in consideration)
but i understand people who like legendary skin so this is good reward for them
50 PvE Coins. :
- its cool thats reward the time passed in the contest
a low percentage of winning 1 out of 3 cosmetics (a tradable Bow, Spear, or Water Shuriken cosmetic);
-this is for me the type of reward I want in this game exclusiv cosmetic I didnt saw the cosmetic yet I want to see them before and if the water shuriken looks very cool it could make me a huge interest to do this contest but its depend of what you called a low percentage, it doesn't mean much, low could be 20 % 10 % 3% 1% so we can't without stat said if its balanced or not
because its already really hard to finish top 3 and after that if the % is really low it will literally make impossible to drop this cosmetic yourself which can be a good thing but also a bad thing
because it make at the same time the prestige to get the cosmetic and also at same time the frustration, maybe at least if we win the cosmetic allow the player to choose the cosmetic instead of dropping randomly one of these 3 ?
About the contest in general I realy like the idea its fun to do that with your guildmate and with the server but I think the contest
should be less longer like 30-45 mn but 2 times per week (because atm for me with 2 try it cost me like 2-3h play time rewarded by 6pve coins 🙂 ).
Also ofc more balanced about calculation of points because its realy frustrating to see most of the time only fail sync poke win the contest so give more point for good nature and ability.
Its realy cool if the future we can have more event content like alto mare race and fishing contest I found it make the game more dynamics and more like a real mmo game
im sorry for my english and sentence it could be realy hard to read me and understand me at some points,
have a nice day everyone.
