Our Pokecord Commands Guide runs you through all of the commands available for this popular Discord bot! We've got all of the standard commands, plus some more advanced ones for when you get into trading and the market!

Pokecord was recently shutdown, find out why on our Pokecord Shut Down post.

What is Pokecord?

Pokecord is a super detailed Discord Bot that allows you to collect, battle, and trade Pokemon! Instead of throwing Poke Balls, a bot will randomly spawn a Pokemon in a designated channel in a participating Discord. The image of the Pokemon is displayed, but the name is not. It is your job to respond with the name as quickly as possible. Whoever gets it first, gets the Pokemon!

Pokecord Commands

Depending on your server, it is default to have the "p!" in front of your command. Some servers might have changed this to something else, but I will be using it with the following commands because it's used in the default Pokecord server.

You are going to see <Pokemon Number> referenced throughout these commands. You can get your particular Pokemon number by searching for the particular Pokemon with the "p!pokemon --name <Pokemon Name>" command. It will display the number via this list.

Any command that references something in angle brackets (< >), means you need to replace it with what is listed between them (do not include the brackets in your command).

Beginning the Game

• p!start | This enters you into the game. You have to use this command first before you can catch any Pokemon.
• p!pick | Once you've done the start command, you will then be asked to pick a starter Pokemon. You can pick from any of the starters across all of the generations.
• p!help | Will direct message you a series of options that you can find more information on. You do NOT message the bot back, you have to enter the command in a Pokecord supported Discord channel.

Starter Commands

After you've picked your Pokemon, there's a couple of commands you should do right away. They are useful to have enabled, so there's no real reason not to do them.

• p!detailed | Use this command to show more information about your Pokemon when using p!pokemon and p!info. It will show your Pokemon's IVs which are important if you want to battle or determine how much one is worth.
• p!order <Option> | This will help you order your Pokemon by whatever you like. You have the option to do: alphabetical, number, level, or iv. I generally find that IV is most used.

Pokemon Commands

• p!catch <Pokemon Name> | When a wild Pokemon spawns, you will use this command and the correct name to catch it.
• p!hint | Will display a hint to the currently spawned Pokemon.
• p!select <Pokemon Number> | Selects which Pokemon will receive XP from chatting and which will battle.
  • p!select latest | Selects your most recently caught or redeemed Pokemon.
