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.
  • p!info | Displays the information of your SELECTED Pokemon.
  • p!info latest | Displays the information of the LATEST Pokemon you've caught.
  • p!info <Pokemon Name> | Display a Pokemon with its base stats.
  • p!info shiny <Pokemon Name> | Displays a shiny version of a Pokemon with its base stats.
  • p!info <Pokemon Number> | Displays the information of the Pokemon attached to this number.
  • p!pokemon | Displays a list of your Pokemon. It also displays information, such as Level, Number, IVs, and Nickname.
    • p!pokemon --name <Pokemon Name> | Displays a list of Pokemon you own of that particular name.
    • p!pokemon --shiny | Displays your shiny Pokemon.
  • p!pokedex | Displays your Pokedex with a count of how many you own.
    • p!pokedex --unowned | Displays only the Pokemon you need to collect.
  • p!nickname <nickname> | Gives a nickname to your selected Pokemon.
  • p!dropitem | Drops the item your current Pokemon is holding.
  • p!mega | Command to evolve Pokemon to a Mega X or Y. You must have a Mega Evolution purchased, they cost 1,000 credits each.
  • p!release <Pokemon Number> | This will release a Pokemon. If you do just p!release it will attempt to release your chosen Pokemon, but thankfully it gives you a confirmation prompt beforehand.

Challenge Commands

Challenges are a new addition to the game. If you complete all of the challenges you are rewarded with credits.

  • p!challenges | Shows the current challenges that are available for you.

Favorite List Commands

  • p!fav | This will show a list of your favorite Pokemon!
  • p!addfav <Pokemon Number> | Adds a Pokemon to your favorites list.
  • p!removefav <Pokemon Number> | Removes a Pokemon from your favorites list.

Dueling Commands

If you want to battle your friends, you'll need to utilize these commands. You can win credits and xp for defeating your dueling partner!

  • p!select <Pokemon Number> | This will be the Pokemon you use in battle.
  • p!moves | Displays your selected Pokemon's current moves, and the available moves it can learn.
  • p!learn <Move> | Attempts to learn the move you've chosen. You will need to choose which move you want to replace.
  • p!replace <Number> | Replaces a current move with the one you are trying to learn.
  • p!duel <@Username> | Challenges the select Discord user to a Duel. Be sure to @ them and not just type in their name.
  • p!accept | Accepts a duel if you've been challenged.
  • p!use <Move Number> | Your selected Pokemon will use the move that is listed by that number.

Search Options

These can be used in addition to the "p!market search" to further refine your search.
