Complete Trainer Reference

Getting Started

Welcome to PokeCom! Use the commands below to kick off your journey. Pokémon spawn automatically in your server as people chat — be quick to catch them!

@PokeCom pick <pokemon>Choose your starter Pokémon
@PokeCom select <number>Select your active Pokémon
@PokeCom infoView your active Pokémon's detailed stats
@PokeCom pokemonBrowse your full Pokémon collection

Catching Pokémon

Wild Pokémon spawn in your server's redirect channels as members chat. Type the Pokémon's name to catch it before anyone else! Use @PokeCom guild to set up your spawn channels first.

@PokeCom catch <name>Catch a wild Pokémon that has spawned
@PokeCom hintGet a partial hint for the current wild Pokémon
@PokeCom verifyVerify you are human if prompted
@PokeCom dex <pokemon>View a Pokémon's Pokédex entry
@PokeCom mydexView your personal Pokédex progress
@PokeCom eventsView current active events and spawns
Shiny Pokémon have a ✨ icon and are extremely rare. Start a shiny hunt with @PokeCom shinyhunt <pokemon> to track your encounters. Use @PokeCom shinycharm to boost your odds.

Incense System

Incense triggers rapid Pokémon spawns in a specific channel — great for catching rare Pokémon fast. Different incense tiers spawn different rarities of Pokémon.

@PokeCom incenseBuy and activate incense (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ultra Rare)
@PokeCom incensepausePause the active incense in this channel
@PokeCom incenseresumeResume a paused incense in this channel
@PokeCom setincenserole @RoleSet a role that can pause/resume any incense server-wide
Permissions: Only the incense owner or users with the designated incense role can pause or resume incense. Admins can force-cancel with @PokeCom incensecancel.

Managing Pokémon

Keep your collection organized with nicknames, favorites, and level locks. Use the pokemon command with filters to find exactly what you need.

@PokeCom nickname <#> <name>Give a Pokémon a nickname
@PokeCom favorite <#>Mark a Pokémon as a favorite to protect it
@PokeCom unfavorite <#>Remove a Pokémon from favorites
@PokeCom release <#>Release a Pokémon permanently (cannot be undone)
@PokeCom locklevel <#>Lock a Pokémon's level to stop it from leveling
@PokeCom unlocklevel <#>Unlock a Pokémon's level
@PokeCom xpcandy <#> <amount>Use XP candies to level up a Pokémon
@PokeCom movesView learned moves for your active Pokémon
@PokeCom learn <move>Teach your active Pokémon a move
@PokeCom forget <move>Remove a move from your Pokémon
Favoriting a Pokémon prevents it from being accidentally released, traded, or sold. Always favorite your best Pokémon!

Duration format: Use 1h, 6h, 12h, or 24h. The highest bidder wins when the timer expires and the Pokémon is automatically transferred.
