RINNE
DAILY CHALLENGE
One story run a day, one rule everyone shares.
One rule a day
The story, under one rule everyone shares, once a day. The rule changes at 01:00 UTC, which is 22:00 in Brazil and the hour Samsara rolls on. Your best run of the day stands on the day's board, and the board resets with the rule.
A run cannot start in the last 60 minutes before the roll, so no run is played under one rule and handed in under the next. A guest cannot start one at all: the board is the point, and a guest never reaches it.
The map
Since the 2026-10-16 Daily, the run is the Season 2 story: the eight Kanto Gyms, Team Rocket on the roads, Victory Road, the Elite Four, Blue, then Cerulean Cave and Mewtwo. After the story, Cerulean Cave challengers keep coming until your team falls, with no healing between fights. The Elite Four and Blue fight at 94% to 97% of their story strength, set member by member, and route trainers evolve your team 25 points more often.
Three things differ from the story. The Legendary bird on Victory Road does not appear, since catching it could break the rule of the day. The Safari Zone is shut. And the freed Mewtwo stays at the cave instead of joining your box. There is no King of the Hill in the Daily.

Halloween 2026: on October 23, 30 and 31 and November 6 the day’s rule is Bad Dreams instead. Only Ghost and Dark types can be caught, and a sleeping Pokémon, yours or the other trainer’s, loses 1/8 of its HP every turn.
What the day pays
Taking the title pays a Drift Egg, once a day, collected on your next visit to the Daycare. Freeing Mewtwo pays the Daily Challenger ribbon; ten days of that pay the Daily Devotee. Finishing 1st on the day's board pays a Shiny Egg, 250 Kibble and the Daily Master ribbon, and ties at the top all pay. Every ribbon is handed out when the day closes, to everyone who earned it at once; the Shiny Egg and the Kibble wait at the Daycare.
A daily run is scored with the Season 2 formula, see Season 2: each Cerulean Cave challenger is worth 150, so on a close day the cave decides the board. It stays on its own board and never reaches the season ranking or the Signal meter.
