Pokébest — Catch, Train, Trade & Battle Pokémon

Pokébest brings a complete Pokémon adventure directly into your Discord server. Chat with your community, discover wild Pokémon, build your collection, train powerful partners, trade with other trainers and challenge an advanced AI battle system.

Whether you are a casual collector, a shiny hunter, an economy expert or a competitive battler, Pokébest gives you plenty of ways to play.

🌿 Dynamic Pokémon Spawns

Pokémon can appear naturally while members chat across your server.

• Server activity controls when encounters appear.
• Pokémon spawn in active channels or configured spawn channels.
• Existing encounters flee when a new Pokémon replaces them.
• Helpful name hints are displayed directly in the encounter.
• Shiny status is determined securely when the Pokémon spawns.
• Server managers can configure where natural encounters appear.
• Developer-controlled Incense can create timed or unlimited themed encounters with custom rarity pools, shiny modes and spawn intervals.

Catch an encounter using either command style:

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

Names are case-insensitive, so Pikachu, pikachu and PiKACHu all work.

📚 Build and Manage Your Collection

Every Pokémon is an individual creature with its own:

• Level and experience
• Nature and ability
• Gender
• Six individual values
• Effort values
• Friendship
• Moveset
• Held item
• Shiny status
• Catch date
• Nickname
• Collection number

Browse your collection using powerful filters such as generation, region, rarity, type, IV percentage, battle stats, held items, learnable moves, weaknesses, resistances, evolution status, duplicates and many more.

You can also:

• Select an active partner.
• Mark valuable Pokémon as favourites.
• Add or reset nicknames.
• Inspect complete Pokémon information.
• Change collection ordering with up to three priority rules.
• Release Pokémon for dynamically calculated rewards.
• View your permanent Pokédex catch history.
• Check any species’ weaknesses, resistances and immunities.

📖 Interactive Pokédex

Explore all 1,025 supported Pokémon from Generations 1–9.

The Pokédex includes:

• National Pokédex information
• Typing
• Abilities
• Base stats
• Gender ratios
• Egg Groups
• Generation and region
• Capture information
• Evolution requirements
• Personal caught and missing progress
• Shiny catch history

Pokémon received through trading or gifting do not falsely complete your Pokédex. Only Pokémon you genuinely catch are recorded in your personal catch history.

⚔️ Advanced Player-vs-AI Battles

Challenge an intelligent AI trainer in fully interactive 1v1 Pokémon battles.

The battle engine supports:

• Accurate type matchups and immunities
• Move power, accuracy, priority and PP
• Physical, special and status moves
• Stat stages
• Major and temporary status conditions
• Weather and terrain
• Abilities
• Held items and automatic berries
• Healing and battle items
• Critical hits
• Multi-hit moves
• Recoil and draining
• Protection and field effects
• Mega Evolution
• Gen 8 Dynamax and Max Moves
• Battle rewards, experience and friendship

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

The authoritative battle outcome is resolved through the Pokémon Showdown simulator, while Pokébest’s custom AI determines the opponent’s strategy.

📘 Moves, Machines & Training

Use the interactive Moves menu to inspect everything your selected Pokémon can learn.

Move information includes:

• Type
• Category
• Power
• Accuracy
• PP
• Learn level
• Effect description
• Learning method

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 safely only when the selected Pokémon successfully learns the move.

Pokémon gain experience through supported activities. Level-ups can increase friendship and trigger eligible evolutions automatically.

✨ Evolution & Friendship

Pokébest supports many evolution methods, including:

• Level-based evolution
• Evolution stones and special items
• Friendship requirements
• Day and night conditions
• Held-item evolution
• Trade evolution
• Trade while holding a required item
• Known-move evolution
• Known-move-type evolution
• Gender and stat-based branches

The bot uses Indian Standard Time for global day and night conditions. Use /time or p!time to check the current period.

Friendship belongs to each individual Pokémon. Build it naturally through activity, levels, duels and friendship items. Soothe Bell improves friendship gains, while Everstone prevents evolution without stopping experience, levels or friendship.

🎒 Shop, Inventory & Held Items

The interactive shop contains several organized departments:

• Battle healing items
• Status cures
• Battle boosts
• PP recovery
• Held items
• Berries
• Mega Stones
• Technical Machines
• Evolution items
• Rare Candy
• Friendship care items

Your inventory shows owned quantities, equipped quantities and which Pokémon are holding each item.

Held items integrate directly with battles and evolution. Compatibility checks prevent invalid combinations, such as giving an unrelated Mega Stone to the wrong Pokémon.

💰 Economy & Marketplace

Earn and manage credits, shards, Redeems, crates and items.

Pokébest includes:

• Personal balances
• Secure gifts
• Interactive shops
• Dynamic release rewards

The marketplace supports:

• Pokémon listings with sequential market IDs
• Advanced collection-style search filters
• Price filtering

Leaderboards include multiple ranking categories and allow trainers to hide themselves when they prefer privacy.
