Nebulas Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Hello everyone, this guide will provide you all the information you will need for the Bug Catching Contest. . What is the contest Where to find the contest Available Pokemon How it works How the scores are calculated Obtainable Rewards . This Johto contest has a new zone with unique spawns where you compete in a hard and great challenge. To be able to join this contest, you need to appear with only one Pokemon. You can use either a Synchronize Pokemon or a False Swipe Pokemon. You will have 20 minutes to capture as much Bug Pokemon as you can. Don't forget to save the caught Pokemon so that you can access the NPC that will delete the unwanted Pokemon. When those 20 minutes end, you will enter the Contest Hall and the Jury will choose the best Bug Pokemon. Keep in mind that you need to catch a good Bug Pokemon to be victorious. The rewards you will receive depend on how good your caught Pokemon is. You can participate once on every day. There is a server based cooldown, which resets the Bug Catching Contest cooldown every day at 00:00, GMT +0. . Travel to route 35, located north of Goldenrod City or west of Violet City. Walk inside the stophouse and you will find a Guard standing there. Interact with the Guard to start the contest or to know [goto=how] how it works[/goto] . All the Pokemon in the contest can be caught all day. None of the Pokemon require an active Membership Medalion.
