Daily Red Pokemon League rules

How is a Daily Red game scored?

Summit Score uses the same formula on daily and weekly leaderboards. A naturally completed battle earns points; forfeits and unfinished runs do not enter.

The theoretical maximum is 10,000. HP below 80% scales down proportionally, creating finer separation between otherwise similar victories.

Animation speed, device speed, sharing and time spent on the site do not add points.

What counts toward daily and weekly rankings?

Your daily score is your highest valid result that you chose to publish for that challenge. Publishing a lower score never replaces your best. Weekly points add the seven daily bests from a UTC Monday–Sunday week; a day without a published result contributes zero.

If you improve Tuesday from 9,800 to 9,900, the weekly total rises by 100. Repeated submissions never add the full score again. Equal totals share the same rank: 1, 2, 2, 4.

The weekly theoretical maximum is 70,000. Different daily teams have different difficulty, so the weekly board celebrates both good routes and participation, rather than claiming to be a pure skill rating.

When do challenges reset and rankings settle?

Everyone receives the same assigned team for a UTC date and rules version. The next team arrives at 00:00 UTC, which is 08:00 in Shanghai. The game shows a NEXT TEAM countdown.

There is a two-hour submission grace period for the previous challenge. A saved run or completed result from that challenge can still be posted until 02:00 UTC. Late entries count toward the original date and week. The server’s receipt time determines whether an entry is accepted.

Current rankings are provisional. Daily boards settle after the grace period; the previous week settles after Monday’s grace period and the relevant days have settled. Settlement is processed periodically, so a board may briefly say “Settling”. Only a final board grants ranking honours.

Do I need to sign in to join?

No. Publish as a guest with a nickname and a Pokémon partner, or create a trainer account to return to your published League identity on another device. Guest identity depends on this browser’s cookie. Clearing it can lose access to that guest.

You can link published guest results after signing in. If both identities have a score for the same day, their higher score counts. Your private Trainer Log, full collection and replays are not automatically uploaded or synced by signing in.

Each completed daily-team battle has its own publish choice. Random practice does not enter the League. The local first-attempt record and its daily-only achievements keep their original meaning; the League tracks your best submitted route, including eligible same-team retries.

How do ranking honours work?

Finishers collect dated ranking medals and progress through long-term League honour families. A live first place is a current lead; a championship honour is awarded only after settlement.

• Daily Top 100: at least 200 entrant profiles.
• Daily Top 50: at least 100 entrant profiles.
• Daily or weekly Top 10: at least 20 entrant profiles.
• Podium and exact first, second or third place: at least 10 entrant profiles.

Daily ranking honours require a victory. Weekly ranking honours require at least one counted daily win. Tied ranks receive the corresponding honours: 1, 1, 3 means two joint first places and a third place, with no second place.

Participation, personal improvement and seven-day milestones remain available in a small community. Skipping a day never removes earned honours. Honours and shares do not increase your ranking points.

What do the community numbers mean?

The Daily Red Pokemon game counts trainer profiles that voluntarily publish results. “Runs shared” includes published attempts, not every battle played. “Posted in the last hour” is recent publishing activity, not a live online count.

The board checks for new results about every ten seconds while visible. Shared ranking cards include a snapshot time; standings may change until final. These are community-reported battle summaries with basic consistency checks, designed for friendly competition.

You can withdraw your published runs or remove your public League profile from its account controls. Your local journal is managed separately. Use a nickname, keep your password safe and avoid personal information in public names.
