1) If you're in an area where you can see https://imgur.com/a/3HDwl01, then what are all the Pokemon you can find here? Use PS formatting and alpha order. [unownb unownm unownv unownw unownx]
2) Great! You just captured an Unown at the Tanoby Ruins and the first thing you do is glitzer pop it. What (valid) Pokemon will hatch from the egg it turns into? [hitmontop]
3) Pop! Let's say you chose to setup this Hitmontop such that after hatching, it gained 101 HP EVs, 1 Attack EV, and 123 Experience points. Successfully glitzer popping it would turn it into another egg. Upon hatching this egg, you'd get a Pokemon that knows Hidden Power, a specific move, and some other glitch moves. Assume that the Pokemon and the specific move both exist. What are they? (answer in that order) [medicham futuresight]

2) Though it doesn't affect the encounter rates of Pokemon or cause new encounters to spawn, using this item in a pair of main series games can cause wild Pokemon to be underleveled in multiple different areas, even when they otherwise could not be. Answer with the item, then the Route where you can obtain it in those games. White Flute Route 113 / White Flute 113
3) Besides locations where the player transfers Pokemon between generations, there is a main-series location where over 25 different wild Pokemon can be caught underleveled; answer with the location, followed by the most underleveled Pokemon catchable there. Friend Safari Golurk

During UGO a little over 2 weeks ago, we also had our latest Community Odyssey! We hope you enjoyed the event, and I'm here to provide you with the results.
First off, a massive shoutout to computerwizard8800, turtalkatthing and Aegii for spearheading the question selection process as well as all the staff who helped QC this big hunt. And of course, a big thanks to you for giving us the questions to use during the CO!

The full results and answers can be found right here!

Hunt

1) In Pokemon Red, 4 of the Pokemon in my party that evolve via an item levelled up in a battle and I ended the battle with a Pokemon that already evolved with a different item. However, all 4 of them started evolving! List all 5 Pokemon in Pokedex Number order. [Nidorina Nidorino Clefairy Jigglypuff Exeggutor]
2) This is the theoretical maximum damage a level 5 Cleffa using Present can do in Pokemon Silver after beating the Elite 4, rounded to the nearest whole number (ignoring mid-calculation rounding). [1144]
3) I challenged Cynthia on my Japanese copy of Pokemon Diamond with my team that contained only a Ditto, using transform on the first turn. However, she defeated me. What is Ditto’s moveset now (alpha order)? [Dark Pulse Embargo Psychic Silver Wind]

Our next twist is Theme Team: Every official hunt has an undisclosed theme that you have to guess in the PMs of the creator(s). If you can guess the theme within 5 minutes of finishing (one guess per finisher), you're rewarded with 5 bonus points! I hope you have fun mindreading.

Questions

Q1 - The highest placement of a Pokemon known to have less than 4 moves in its moveset in any VGC World Championships was achieved on a team alongside these other Pokemon.
Q2 - In the Pet Mod 'Generation X', these Pokemon from its first created region gained access to more moves after that region’s dex was complete.
Q3 - In a spinoff game, these three Pokemon were given newly translated names in a certain language, before an update renamed them to be identical to their English names.

Answers

Q1 - Incineroar, Kangaskhan (Mega), Lunala, Tapu Koko, Xerneas
Q2 - Ampalango, Coirele, Cougaquil, Galliwatt, Rikomoco
Q3 - Crabominable, Cutiefly, Oricorio

Theme Team

Brazil Hont!
Q1 - The team was piloted in 2019 by Brazilian VGC legend Gabriel Agati.
Q2 - The fake region that all five Pokemon come from is Brazado, a region based on Brazil.
Q3 - Their names were translated into Brazilian Portuguese. Speaking of…
The third question is a brick wall that is incredibly difficult to solve, unless you think outside of the box and solve Theme Team first, then use the Brazilian theme to narrow your search to a single language. As such, all five solvers successfully guessed the theme immediately after finishing the hunt!

QCs by PV and Turt!

Our new twist is Skunked: There will be no fish this month. Normal hunts give 10/5/3/2/1 bonus ladder points, and minis will give a bonus 15/10/7/5/3 points. Making a hunt will give 4 bonus points. See you once spooky season is over.

Twist this month is People's Choice: Everyone (including regs) may use any of the following twists for a hunt. https://pastebin.com/ecbUYZGD. Several of these twists include opportunities for a bonus point.

 

[pokemonvortex]

On the first day of Scavmas the Scav Hunt gave to me: a twist found in people's choice.

Hosted an Official for Day 1 of Scavmas on December 20th, 1:00 P.M. EST (6 P.M. GMT).

Thanks to deftinwolf and turtalkatthing for QC'ing.

1st place: solar blade
2nd place: sleet dab xd
3rd place: Cryonic✠Squire
4th place: Bert122
5th place: Devoxys

[aQrator]

November 28th marked the unofficial 10 year anniversary of Scavengers! To celebrate, we had a massive 52 question hunt written by 51 different auth members, present and past, resulting in the longest running Scavenger hunt ever (to my knowledge).

A big thanks to Aegii, computerwizard8800 and Tapler (and yours truly) for their help in QCing. We've got the results fully ready for your reading pleasure. Once again a massive thank you to all past and present auth members for submitting their questions, and a belated happy anniversary to Scavengers!

 

[deftinwolf]

On the second day of Scavmas the Scav Hunt gave to me: a twist found in people's choice (Perfect Score) and a Sequential Blitz Point!

Hosted on December 21st at 6pm EST
thanks to computerwizard8800 + turtalkatthing for QCing!

The official scavenger hunt by deftinwolf was ended automatically.
1st place: bubidajeffery [02:33].
2nd place: Cryonic✠Squire [05:35].
3rd place: Bert122 [09:08].
4th place: The Benz Mafia [17:11].
5th place: pyorololi [18:27].
Consolation Prize: Snecko [24:49], that sleepy dreepy [46:01], Martin Freeman [56:19]

Solution:

1) This Gen 4 Pokemon did not appear in the anime (do not include specific formes). [porygonz]
2) Every Pokemon of a certain non-signature type combination have been starter Pokemon except for this one. [tauros paldea blaze]
3) Ignoring the Arceus forms, there are some types that no released mythical Pokemon have. If you were to use those unrepresented types to make a dual typed Pokemon, this dual type combination has the fewest overall Pokemon (alphabetically list the types). [ice poison]

Shout out to Snecko for completing the hunt with 0 incorrect guesses!

 

[Gallant Spear]

On the third day of Scavmas the Scav Hunt gave to me: a twist found in people's choice (Future Sight), a Sequential Blitz Point, and a Strong Lead!

Hosted on December 22st at 3PM UTC
Thanks to aQrator and deftinwolf for QC

1st place: solar blade [01:35]. (Future Sight bonus)
2nd place: sneCKO [02:19].
3rd place: TeutonicSquire [05:21].
4th place: Sabby60>>>☆ [05:50].
5th place: Bert122 [09:19].

Solution:

1) (This official uses Future Sight as its People's Choice twist. Guess your placement in the PMs of the hunt maker or the host.) This move's Japanese name is also the theme song of The Irregular at Magic High School: The Movie – The Girl Who Summons the Stars. [Swift]
2) The first multi-strike move debuted in this Pokemon Anime episode. [Ash Catches a Pokémon / Ash Catches a Pokemon]
3) Name this pokemon move: https://imgur.com/SXDpC0w [Confusion]

May the Pyuks be with you

Solution

1) The TCG card with this name was the first to require two different energy types of energy (other than colorless energy) to use all of its moves. Also list the moves on said card in alphabetical order. [Exeggcute, Hypnosis, Leech Seed]
2) The TCG card with this name was the first to require 5 energy to use one of its moves. Also list the name of the move. [Blaine's Moltres, Phoenix Flame]
3) The TCG card with this name was the first to have a type symbol other than its own type in its move description (so _not its cost). Also list the name of the move. [Blaine's Growlithe, Blaze]

Whaaat? TCG not being blitzable? an aQ hunt not being blitzable (even if he thought it maybe sorta was)? Wow, who could've guessed.
