🌿 Dynamic Pokémon Spawns

Pokémon naturally appear while members chat across your server. Catch them before someone else does and gradually build your collection.

Server managers can choose where natural encounters appear, while special Incense events can introduce themed encounters, custom rarity pools, shiny modes and different spawn intervals.

Catch Pokémon using any supported command style:

/catch name:Pikachu
p!catch Pikachu
@Pokébest catch Pikachu

Pokémon names are case-insensitive, so catching stays quick and convenient.

📚 Build & Manage Your Collection

Every Pokémon you own is an individual creature with its own level, experience, nature, ability, gender, IVs, EVs, friendship, moveset, held item, shiny status, catch date, nickname and collection number.

Browse even enormous collections using advanced filters for generation, region, rarity, type, IV percentage, battle stats, held items, learnable moves, weaknesses, resistances, evolution status, duplicates and more.

Choose an active partner, nickname your Pokémon, mark valuable catches as favourites, inspect complete stats and organize your collection using custom ordering rules.

Pokémon can also be released for dynamically calculated rewards when you no longer need them.

📖 Interactive Pokédex

Explore all 1,025 supported Pokémon from Generations 1–9 through Pokébest's interactive Pokédex.

Inspect typing, abilities, base stats, gender ratios, Egg Groups, generation, region, capture information, evolution requirements, weaknesses, resistances and immunities.

Your personal Pokédex keeps track of your caught Pokémon, missing Pokémon and shiny catch history.

Pokémon received through trading or gifting do not falsely complete your Pokédex — your catch history represents Pokémon you actually encountered and caught yourself.

---

⚔️ Advanced Pokémon Battles

Challenge intelligent AI trainers through fully interactive Pokémon battles.

Pokébest's battle system supports accurate type matchups, immunities, move power, accuracy, priority, PP, physical and special damage, status moves, critical hits and multi-hit attacks.

More advanced mechanics include stat stages, major and temporary status conditions, weather, terrain, abilities, held items, automatic berries, healing items, recoil, draining, protection and field effects.

And when ordinary battling isn't enough:

Mega Evolution and Gen 8 Dynamax with Max Moves are supported directly in battle.

Choose from multiple AI difficulties, including Champion. Stronger opponents evaluate damage, survivability, status effects, setup opportunities, healing, move order, known information and possible future turns before choosing an action.

Battle outcomes are resolved through the Pokémon Showdown simulator, while Pokébest's custom AI determines the opponent's strategy.

Win battles to earn rewards while developing your Pokémon through experience and friendship.

📘 Moves, Machines & Training

Open the interactive Moves menu to discover everything your selected Pokémon can learn.

Inspect a move's type, category, power, accuracy, PP, learning level, effect and learning method before adding it to your moveset.

Pokébest distinguishes between level-up moves, locked moves, Technical Machines, tutors and Egg Moves.

Technical Machines can be purchased from the shop and are consumed only after the selected Pokémon successfully learns the move.

Train your Pokémon through supported activities to gain experience, increase friendship and trigger eligible evolutions.

---

✨ Evolution & Friendship

Pokémon can evolve through far more than simply gaining levels.

Pokébest supports level evolution, evolution stones, special items, friendship, day and night conditions, held items, trading, trade-held items, known moves, known move types, gender requirements and stat-based evolution branches.

Friendship belongs individually to each Pokémon and develops through activity, levels, battles and friendship items.

Items such as the Soothe Bell can improve friendship gains, while Everstone prevents evolution without stopping experience, levels or friendship progression.

---

🎒 Shop, Inventory & Held Items

Build an inventory of useful items through Pokébest's interactive shop.

Find battle healing items, status cures, battle boosts, PP recovery, held items, berries, Mega Stones, Technical Machines, evolution items, Rare Candy and friendship care items.

Your inventory tracks what you own, how many are equipped and which Pokémon are currently holding them.

Held items aren't simply collectibles — they interact directly with battles, evolution and other Pokémon mechanics.

Compatibility checks also prevent invalid combinations, such as equipping an unrelated Mega Stone to the wrong Pokémon.

---

💰 Economy & Marketplace

Build wealth alongside your Pokémon collection.

Pokébest includes credits, shards, Redeems, crates, items, player gifts, shops, release rewards and global leaderboards.

Buy and sell Pokémon through a persistent player marketplace designed for both casual trading and serious collectors.

Search marketplace listings using advanced filters, inspect Pokémon before purchasing, compare prices and organize results according to what you're looking for.

Listed Pokémon are safely held by the marketplace until they are purchased or removed by their owner.

---

🤝 Secure Player Trading

Trade directly with other trainers without relying on the marketplace.

Exchange Pokémon, credits, Redeems and shards through an interactive trading interface.

Both trainers can inspect offers, add or remove assets and review the complete exchange before confirming.

Selected, favourite and team Pokémon receive additional protection to help prevent accidental trades.

The exchange only completes after both trainers agree to the final offer.

---

👤 Trainer Profiles & Leaderboards

Build a trainer identity around your progress in Pokébest.

Profiles can showcase your selected partner, collection statistics, Pokédex completion, currencies, duel record, catches, shiny statistics and account information.

Compete across multiple global leaderboard categories and compare your progress with trainers throughout Pokébest.

Privacy controls are also available for players who prefer not to appear publicly in certain areas.

---

🎮 Slash, Prefix & Mention Commands

Slash, prefix and mention commands connect to the same underlying systems, validation and interfaces.
