Auctions


Auctions are the least held type of weekly event. They are held in the auction house in Delite Plaza. It usually requires multiple staff members and a large amount of planning. Staff members auction off various items and players bid Poké for them.

Capture the Flag
One of the lesser done weekly events. Staff may hold Capture the Flag games as a weekly event. There are usually three rounds.

Confusion Race
The Confusion Race is a race where all players have to make it past 4 areas in a map all while confused. Spinda idle all areas as disruptions and warps are placed around to easier moving forward, provided a player can manage to get to it. Players can rank 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. If a player ranks they are given additional Event Tokens. Remaining players still have the option to make it to the finishing room for the thrill of it.

Dodgeball
Dodgeball is an event that usually requires multiple staff. It first starts in a lobby where map picking begins unless a staff announces that players will be picking in the basement part of the dodgeball lobby. The dodgeball map chosen depends on the amount of players in a row. Once the map has been chosen players get to explore the map for a few minutes before the game starts. The goal is to avoid getting hit by a Poké Ball from staff members for the longest. If you get hit, you instantly faint. Three rounds of dodgeball are done, but there is sometimes a 4th bonus round.

Hide 'n' Seek
The Hide 'n' Seek event involves staff members placing themselves around the overworld of PMU and having players go and look for them. Staff will sometimes use this event as a way to announce a new dungeon release.

Ice/Sand/Egg Breaker
Ice Breaker, which can also use two other map variants known as Sand Breaker and Egg Breaker (the latter only being done around Easter's time), is an event involving around teamwork of players. Players start off in a waiting room until the door is unlocked and the objective is to find the invisible path leading out of the map. Moving onto an incorrect tile causes a player to "fall" into a room with warps leading to the starting point of the map current. There are two total maps in each variant, the last exit has the completion room with Poké and Event Tokens in it.

Marathon
Marathon is another race-like event. Up to three Pokémon can be in one's team for Marathon. The goal is to get through multiple maze-like maps. Each part has two maps to it, after both is a check point with a heal bed and Event Tokens. The three quickest players get bonus Event Tokens and a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place ribbon depending on when they finished.

Stadium
Stadium is an event where players act as trainers and can pick other players as their Pokémon provided they fit the current battle tier. It is held in the Stadium in Delite Plaza. Once players have arrived, staff give and introduction and then announce the tier of the preparing battle. The tiers consist of Little Cup, Not Fully Evolved, and Anything Goes. When enough players have selected a fitting Pokémon for it, one of the staff members inquires players to private message a certain phrase to them and the first two players to do so are the trainers for the match. The second trainer is asked to pick between heads and tails. A staff does the command "/flipcoin" and if it lands on the side the player picked, they get to choose their player Pokémon first. Player Pokémon are always set to level 50 when entering the stadium's arena. When both trainer players have selected 6 players as Pokémon, player Pokémon are advised to message their trainer their movesets, and the trainers are required to private message a staff member which player they would like to send out to battle. There are certain clauses and rules battling such as no healing moves, no switching out player Pokémon until the active one faints, and so on. Which player Pokémon attacks first depends on the base speed between the two active Pokémon. The battle goes on until one team has all 6 of their Pokémon fainted. Both the trainer and Pokémon of the winning team are given bonus tokens. Once a player has been a trainer for a match, they cannot be one again to give other players a chance. Players who acted as Pokémon are free to be chosen again by trainer players. There are three matches of stadium for a battle of each tier to be held once.

Staff's Day Off
Staff's Day Off is a dungeon race. A unique dungeon is created for the event. The warp to "lobby" for Staff's Day Off is placed at the Event Hub at the top area normally only staff can enter. The room contains a Storage and Assembly to prepare for it. Three Pokémon can be brought for the dungeon, and they are reset to level 1 along with the moves. The goal is to make it to the end of the dungeon the fastest. Staff's Day Off has placing ribbons like the Marathon event.

Temples
Temples were special events in that they are different temples. So far, the temples that have been done were the Fire Temple, Forest Temple and the Ice Temple. The temples consist of puzzles that have keys. If all keys are collected, the boss item must be collected to face the boss. Two special keys need to be obtained first using the keys from the puzzles, with the exception being the Ice Temple, where three keys needed to be collected, as there is no boss item. There is an optional secret puzzle. There are no enemy Pokemon besides the boss at the end of the temple. The three temples were made permanent, with new challenges to overcome.
