I'd like to report a bug
I've been asking for a shiny Lycanroc by the bot but when I enter thencode the bot isint getting the trade
This has happened 4 times in a row alr
Is this a glitch bug or just some type of 1 at at time thing because someone did get my bot trade yesterday
can you send here exactly what you requested
Ok
Rocky Road (Lycanroc) (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Steadfast
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 88 HP / 72 Atk / 60 Def / 124 SpA / 64 SpD / 100 Spe
- Accelerock
- Sandstorm
- Endeavor
- Play Rough
Wait
Sandstorm was suppose to be stone edge so4ry
yes, check the pins in #swordshield-bot. if you’re referring to legends, you can do it in PKHeX
Ok i fixed my thing
Rocky Road (Lycanroc) (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Steadfast
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 88 HP / 72 Atk / 60 Def / 124 SpA / 64 SpD / 100 Spe
- Accelerock
- Stone Edge
- Endeavor
- Play Rough
oh nice
This is what I was supposed to get
what’d you change?
oh
okay so
maybe you have to choose a certain lycanroc form for it to be shiny?
Ok
that would be my guess
did you figure this out?
yep :)
sorry i’m not sure then godjo
How do you select gender?
.trade Basculegion
Sex: Female
Level: 100
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
OT: Kevin
pretty sure you can’t select it by typing it out for the pla bot
you can do .convert instead of .trade tho and it’ll give you a file with a gender already attached
while still having the shiny, alpha, etc
for OT you need to use pkhex i believe as well
Oh okay, I'll try that, thank you!

is it norm that its taking 40+ min when it said 20
Am I doing something wrong with this set
Rayquaza @ Dragon Fang Shiny: Yes Ability: Air Lock Brave Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Dragon Ascent
- V-create
- Dragon Dance
I can't get the item or the shiny
type .qs to check your spot in line
did you copy this straight from showdown?
.qs
Gotcha
Arceus Ability: Multitype - Earthquake
- Extreme Speed
- Shadow Claw
- Recover
This one isn't working
Can you help
can i change the level of the pokémon? so far i’ve only received level 100 pokémon how do i set the level?
add a separate line like:
Level: x
arceus isn’t in sword/shield
Gotcha ty
click the validate button in showdown
it will tell you what’s wrong with your request
i just figured out why, it was bc I never connected to the internet
ty for the help man
the gengar didn’t send me the trade?
What do I do
It canceled the trade the first time
can you paste what you tried getting here
if the bot gave you a NoTrainerFound error in your dms theres a few things you can try
making sure you are connected to the internet in game
being in smaller room like a pokemon center or a house
searching the link code it gives you before its your turn for the trade
I dont really know why that would happen, all i can really say is try again
How would I get ash hat pikachu in the pokemon sword and shield gengar trading?
It didn’t work a third time
how do you gain access to the BDSP trade bot
what region?
only available to patreon subscribers
okay
we have nothing else to tell you, other than what Moot said
Can I get pokemon from different langues in the gengar not for pokemon sword?
different language? for pokemon swsh or legends arceus?
just add a separate line anywhere before the moves. for example:
Language: Japanese
i just told you exactly what to do
put your request here if you want before into gengar and i’ll tell you if it needs fixing
Sword and shield it was a gift code so idk
So before the moves, I think I got it then so I just need to make it in showdown
yeah you can add the line in showdown before you copy it
in the import/export text box
just put it anywhere before the moveset and you’ll be good
Thanks
Can we choose the level of the Pokémon we want to get from the Gengar Bot?
What happens if the bot keeps saying it can’t find me-? I put in the rigjt code every time
?
yeah, put in a separate line:
Level: x
If anyone is getting the NoTrainerFound error, please make sure it looks like the pic attached when you search. If it does, and you’ve tried being inside a pokemon center while you search AND typing in the code only when the bot DMs you saying “Initializing trade…” , then that is all the advice we can give you outside of restarting your router etc.
Alright, thanks
hey i'm new here but how do i use the poke bots to get pokemon in the trade rooms?
?guide
top link is for sword/shield, bottom link is for legends arceus
Am i did something wrong
.trade Arceus Ability: Multitype - Earthquake
- Roar of Time
- Dark Pulse
- Recover
don’t use pokemon showdown for legends arceus
where do i go for the pokemon home box??
Hi! I just traded with the gengar bot, I put in the code but it didn’t work and canceled the trade ☹️ was a small glitch in its system?
I put in the code and it couldnt find the bot
Same
Same
4th try
It just can't find me

@hushed nexus @potent pebble @tame ocean
Okay, thanks for the help!

ive been trying to get a pokemon but everytime i type in the code its just not woking
if the question is “will there be a program for this?” the answer is we don’t know. it depends if the sysbot makers update and develop something for it
Ok. Thank 🙂
Is that what we’re calling it? ScVi? I’m not sure that I’m down with it.
SciFi
I need help with the BDSP trading
ok what is this i put the dang code in and it just doesnt work so now i have to wait another hour because the timer is so dang fast and somthing is glitching someone please help
Giratina has two abilities, Telepathy, and pressure.
I tried putting in telepathy and it wasnt valid so i tried putting pressure and that also isnt valid
What do I do?
it’s working for everyone else
ok ill just up plug my wifi to see if that helps
refer to this message Donut, this is all i can do to help
so can i not be in a pojemon cen?
nvm i got it
you can
will there be a pokemon go trade bot in the future?
probably not
How do I change the level of the pokemon I want
im not sure it’s even possible
add a separate line like:
Level: x
It's just what I call it. Sc for scarlet Vi for violet
Like this
.trade shinx
Shiny: yes
Alpha: yes
Level: 50
Ok ty
but yes, that's the idea
and capitalize the yes
also that
for both shiny and alpha
And the first letter of Shinx
Ok ty
.trade Shinx
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
Level: 49
You gotta donate to the bot on patreon
I just got my Eevee from the bot and it isn’t shiny, did I do something wrong? I specified for it to be shiny, so I don’t see how it wouldn’t be shiny :((
Also, how do I cancel my place in the queue?
I noticed something rather odd about some of the shinies i have got, pokemon home won't let me transfer them over, is something wrong or is it somethin else?
how do I cancel my place in quqe?
.qc
To make shiny:
.trade Eevee
Shiny: Yes
Ty!! 
Nope, if you’re talking about whether they are legal or illegal. All our Pokémon generated here are considered legal, as the bot is unable to produce illegal bots. Though I’m pretty sure Pokémon home will take illegal as well, so it should be on your side.
i think you might be right, it tells me only one shiny or certain ones per save file, which is never something i encountered before until now.
yeah i definitely thought they were legal so no worries on that one
I’ve never encountered said issue before, @covert crane might know?
maybe its because i have the 3 month plan of pokemon home?
idk either now you see why i find it odd lol
Do you still have the plan?
yes
no but i can
Let’s try that first
cool, thank you for willing to help me out
how do i get a pokemon
?guide
thx
No problem!
all it tells me something is wrong with the pokemon, and so it couldn't be moved directly into home
its only certain ones though not all of em
Is palkia holding something or in its origin form?
i believe normal form
Makes sense
oh it does?
I'm trying to trade into legends arceus. Do I have to use internet option to trade or can I use the local communication?
internet
ok thank you
Can you get traded a pokemon holding something?
yea
Whats the command?
?showdown
just use this website
then copy what’s in the import/export text box into the gengar channel when ur done
with the .trade command
Select Sw/Sh Ubers for the format
Is there a way for the gengar bot to give you more time when it messages you ?
No there isn’t
You can always cancel your request with .qc
You can also see your position in queue with .qs
(When you hit top 5 I suggest waiting for it before doing anything)
I would have to type that in the messages ?
Yeah In #swordshield-bot
If you try and do it in DM’s it won’t work😅
🙏🏻 much appreciated
anyone know who shinyhub.tv is in the trade room
Nope
How come im getting zero responses from trade bot bdsp lol
Because it’s down already pinged owner for help^
So dw it should be back up as soon as he has a chance
🥲🥲
Is there a way to get a shiny that can go into lets go eevee/pikachu because i want shinies in that game but lets go isnt compatible with swsh, bdsp, legens arceus
I’m trying to get a Burmy and I keep getting this message what does it mean? (Trade canceled: TrainerOfferCanceledQuick)
How can I make the Pokémon shiny
hm
?trade Pikachu
Shiny: Yes
How do I link my Patreon on here?
link patreon
follow these steps ^
Thanks 🙏
is the gengar bot case sensitive?
ya
explains my problem then, thank you!
How to change the Ball in the trade. I tried Ball: Ultra Ball but it was a normal pokeball
.trade Overquil
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
I tried to get overquil like this and it sent back an error saying Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index
Not sure what it means
you’re spelling the pokemons name wrong
it’s Overqwil
Ah i think I got mixed up because my phone auto corrected qwilfish
@unique cairn I got the shiny lapras tier how do I use it?
Arceus bot using the .pa8 files and its not working. Watched the video and did it step by step
Your file is illegal, thats why it wont work and .convert works like that
.convert Lucario
Shiny: Yes
And then the bot creates a legal PKHeX file for you :)
so I type
".convert (pokemon name) and then paste the file?
No no xD You dont attach the file. You write what you want like which Ball its in, OT, Shiny, Alpha or whatever and then the bot creates the file for you. Then you attach the created file to your message with the command in the textbox. The other possibility is to make sure that you made everything legal in PKHeX
I don’t see the connect apps
I get the trade code and wait till its Initializing, enter the code and wait. Game says no trade partner for you and the bot cancels the trade
I got it
Did you activate the internet ingame via Y-Comm, so it looks like this when its searching?
I'm still having the same problem
I keep trying to trade with the bot but it just can't seem to find me
I've tried everything
What have you tried?
I can help more if you say what you have tried.
(I am in no way connected with the server and I am not a bot. I am just somebody who is happy to help.)
How do I get shinys to work?
Thank ya.
I can’t seem to trade with the bot. it’s having trouble finding me. any help?
also r these pokémon legal
Refer to this message kurai
And yes, they are all legal
Where do I go to access the Pokémon home for members?
Do I have an option to make my Pokémon gmax in the trade commands
yes, add -Gmax after the pokemon name like this:
.trade Cinderace-Gmax
damn i can’t choose the level it is?
OH
anywhere before the moveset
It has to be level i did lvl
check the pins of the tier 2 in-out channel
can u get shiny arceus through the sysbot for pla?
But you can get BDSP-Lapras and get one, then use pokemon home to transfer it into pla
I believe
I have shiny arceus in bdsp so I assume it's not shiny locked
Really?
Is that something you just added or a recent update?
Huh.
Nice to know you keep updating 🙂
did anyone se my ticket
i sent it last night and went to bed
it closed so idk if there was a reply
i wasnt pinged or anything
Yeah I replied to it
the other part of your screenshot was most likely a simple error like off timing, not connected to internet, loading issues etc. this happens every day and sometimes you just have to try again. there’s not always a fix.
i see
well how many times has it happened to you
i havnt been able to receive a single mon from trade since the beginning of last wek
i'll try to get in queue right now
let me know if it works
refer to this message for extra tips
Would anyone know why this doesn't work?
.trade Melmetal @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Fist
Gigantamax: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Double Iron Bash
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Toxic
I dont know for sure but my best guess would either be it cant have that ability or it cant know 1 or more of those moves
?validate
Showdown says it's legal.
Wait never-mind, Toxic isn't legal?
Which is odd, every pokemon learns it.
Not every Pokémon 😅
Well, besides the Gimmick ones, like Wynaut line.
But, I guess that was my mistake
I know almost all Pokémon could learn it when Toxic was a TM, but I think after Gen 6 or 7 they removed Toxic as a TM so Pokémon can only learn it by level up
Oh, alrighty.
Can u change the pokeball when u trade pokemon with someone?
Or is it perminant?
are you referring to the trade bot when you request a pokemon?
Yeh
You can change the ball, check the pins in #swordshield-bot
There’s an example at the bottom of the pins
Ok
Um I have a question it says that I'm not allowed to type on gengar sword and shield does anyone k ow why?
Is there someone who could like write an example for changing pokeball when u trade? I tried ready it but it does not make any sense for me 😅
how doesn’t it make sense lol
*read
Oh ok now I get it 😅
that channel has a slow mode to prevent spam and overloading the bot
oh and the bot is down
so the channel is locked right now
Bruh showdowns weird i typed in tail glow as a filter and it said xurkitry could use it when I went to make the move set it said it couldn’t please explain
Tail glow doesn't exist in swsh
Alright, but I assume you're trying to make Xurkitree with Tail Glow for swsh, so at the end it doesnt really matter because it cant have that move since it doesnt exist in the game. Therefore the bot cant generate this Pokemon with this move
Ik I’m not
But what are you trying then, if you dont want to generate Xurkitree with Tail Glow in swsh with the bot?
Hey I got a question see whenever I go to receive my pokemon when it's my turn for some reason it does not find the trainer or it says suspicious activity so is there a way to fix it or is it just me
And it won't ever work for me again?
I fell really dumb but no I don't get it sorry😔
So if I get rid of the other save file on my pokemon shield will it work?
@unique cairn or am I just dumb
I just want to ask a multiplayer question if that's alright
When I use protein on my Pokémon would those stats stay the same when I'm playing multiplayer?
What Pokémon?
Giratina
What level?
.trade Giratina
Level: 50
What can it not be lvl 50
(Edited)
Type what I would put for lvl 50 shiny Giratina
I’m not sure if it can or can’t. My brain is telling me that it has to be 70.
If you bothered to look up you would see that I have already done that.
@next loom will that be all?
Ye it don’t work with any Pokémon
I do like this
.trade cyndaquil
Shiny:yes
Alpha:no
Level:50
What
Firstly, you need to capitalise things.
Secondly, if the answer is :No just remove the line.
And you need one space after :
.trade Cyndaquil
Shiny: Yes
Level: 50
This is how its supposed to look like
Perfect
As icky said, the Alpha: No isnt needed. Just dont type it
@dense elk show me what you are doing
wait
No
No you didn’t
wait
No
.trade Blaziken (M) @ Hard Stone
Ability: Blaze
Level: 70
- Acrobatics
- Blaze Kick
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
Hard stone?
yeah why not
Seems an odd choice to have a held item when you have acrobatics on top of not having any rock moves
well idk
Here
Blaziken (M) @ Hard Stone
Ability: Blaze
Level: 70
Shiny: Yes
Dynamax Level: 7
EVs: 248 Atk / 8 SpD / 248 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Acrobatics
- Blaze Kick
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
That’s shiny
oh ok
Blaziken (M) @ Hard Stone
Ability: Blaze
Level: 70
EVs: 248 Atk / 8 SpD / 248 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Acrobatics
- Blaze Kick
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
Second one isn’t shiny
Thanks
So it will work?
They will both work
how do you get the swsh bot to trade dusk form lycanroc?
How do you cancel a trade with sword and shield Gengar bot
i would just ignore it
Do you use Pokemon Showdown for Arceus as well or just sword/shield? Im just a little lost
Where can I watch that. Thank you @unique cairn
for a trade zorua do i have to put hisuian infront of it?
do this:
.trade Zorua-Hisui
What did I do wrong?
do this
.convert Zoroark-Hisui
Shiny: Yes
Ok thanks
I keep getting this message, I'm so confused:
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index
Im trying to get an Alpha shiny Arcanine
your formatting is off, it should be like this:
.trade Arcanine-Hisui
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes
Level: 35
Thank you so much
@low ravine i don’t want you to get banned from the bots so please stop using pokemon showdown for #940357499297615902. it is an incorrect format
@brazen shale I would request an alpha growlithe instead of arcanine then evolve it yourself. i think that’s the issue
Its telling me neither can be Alpha
I tried both ways LOL
Oops! I wasn't able to create a Growlithe from that set.
Requested Pokémon cannot be an Alpha.
ah it’s the level
prob can’t catch an alpha growlithe at 35
you can remove the level if you’d like
does it give a random level? I can only use up to level 40
it will give you a maxed level one
OOF, Do you think it'll work at level 40?
Nah, just tried
It’s gotta be whatever the lowest level that you can catch an alpha growlithe in the wild is
or higher
How do I get in line for the gengar bot
what game?
Sword and sheald
Okay thank you again for the help.
The Eternatus you requested is formatted correctly, but it cannot be shiny
and use #swordshield-bot
K
I have a question does battling npcs,battling and catching other pokemon in raids affect ur shiny odds even if u battled 500 of the same pokemon like does it break the chain or not and the odds are still the same?
Do PKHeX files not work anymore with the bots
for sword and shield can we change the level of the pokemon we want or is it preset to 100 and only 100?
is it me or i cant do the command for shinys
Which game are you trying to do
how do i get in line for gengar bot for legends arceus?
Is there any way to get the shiny glarian legendary birds i tried everything but it wont let me
I did it but thanks anyways
Can a mod reach out to me? I have some questions about the shiny gmax Lapras Patreon level. Thank you!
@unique cairn mind if I Pm you? I got a couple questions so I don’t want to flood
am i still banned from the bot
ONG TY
@unique cairn has the bot been fixed yet? 😭
the bdsp lapras bot
No need to strain your self for it. But I do thank you for fixing it for us and providing the opportunity of using it.
how do i get the bot to give me what gender i want on a pokemon?
Put (F) or (M) behind the Pokemon species
It should look like this
.trade Garchomp (M)
F for Female, M for Male
Yep 
ty
np
Can you get a black kyurem in sword and shield if so how
Question?
If I was to buy Shiny Lapras on patreon
What does it mean by Pokemon HOME account?
&
Would I have to log out of my home account?
hello, I don't know if it's normal but since yesterday (6 p.m.) all the exchanges I wanted to do with the bot each time it can't find me and displays "no trainer found"
yet I'm sure I put the right code and I don't know what to do
hoping you can help me, bye.
can we put illegal pokemon in sword and shield
its been happening to me too man
since last week
they say to make sure we have intrnet on (im psure none of us are that dumd)
also reatsrt router didnt work
after all that it still didnt work for me and i made sure i was in the pokemon center when i submitted my request and when i put in the code
and they say there isnt anything at all they can do
how to get the bot to register cap pikachus?
Why does swsh gengar not connect. 2nd time back to back it says no trainer found while i put in the code and wait
How do u make it so the pokemon I want is a certain lvl in sword gengar
@carmine jacinth try waiting for the notification to arrive that the trade is starting, and then start the trade. It is easiest to have the code ready while you wait
@terse rapids add a new line. it should look like this
.trade X
Level: X
just use the on screen keyboard and type
.trade X
Level: X
Alr thank you
Happy to help
Oh does it have to be lvl 50 or can I choose any lvl?
If you do level 50, it glitches to level 100, but yes, it can be any level. If you want level 50, type 49 or 51
Alr thank you

Hey I have a question ever since yesterday the bot hasn't worked for me and he told me that it was a ban and wait 2 hours but it still doesn't find the bot is there a way to fix it
@gray totem Maybe try reloading discord
Ok
It might not work, but i've never experienced a ban for more that 1 1/2 hours.
and i closed the tab during that time period
When you are a Patreon you get access to a home account (or two) that gets stocked with some events and shinies. You don't have to log out of your own home account, you pretty much connect another account to your switch and use it from there
.convert Infernape why this no work
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
OT: Benjamin
@lime scarab it still doesn't work so does that mean that I just wasted my money?
How do you choose the gender of the pokemon in Legends Gengar?
why is OT not working
Show me what you put into the bot
.convert Infernape why this no work
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
OT: Benjamin
.trade zoura M I think
It should but maybe because your converting instead of using .trade?
Yeah but to trade it’s actually .trade
ill try it tho
Hence why it’s in the bots name😅
: (
you got added to the queue at around :00
It did work
It’s too late now, but enter the queue again by sending whatever you did and check your DMs from the bot for the link code you have to put in in-game
There trying to get the ot part to work
ah my b, pretty sure ot can’t work like that in pla without pkhex
Hey does anyone know how to change the ball the Pokemon come in when using Gengar bot? I don't know how I should add that format
Like if my base thing is
.trade Chatot
Shiny: Yes
Where would I add what ball they come in if possible
.trade Chatot
Shiny: Yes
Ball: Ultra Ball
it can be anywhere before the moves if you include any
Ok sweet, thank you so much
For legends arceus do I just need all the Pokémon that show up in my dex? Because not al of them are showing
Like to complete it?
Yes
You need to at least see all the Pokémon in the dex to complete it we also have a dex help section^
@vernal glade To see your current position in the queue do .qs
Thank you @nimble swan
rip
Can you make pokemon able to gigantimax with the gengar bot
Like ones that you trade over with it
So I got my trade notification and code but it still isn't working
okay perfect i did that, @unique cairn how do i link the hhome acc?
@unique cairn do i need to make a new nintendo account before i sign into home ?
can the gangar trader work with yuzu emulator?
yes
they cant fix it soi think we just cant use bot anymore
ok perfect
No that’s an issue on your end😅
i believe its either add -Gmax after the pokemon's name or add a new line
Gigantamax: Yes
Thank you!!
Happy to help
For sword and shield bots u can always use Pokémon showdown team builder
You can make them shiny and gigantamax ^
i told them that
well at lest the gmax part
but they should know about the shiny part
- i restarted router
- i turn on wifi
- i chekc ycomm
- i stand in pokemon center as i request and recieve
- i enter code while after trade is initialized
im sayin git worked one trade and the very next and every subsequent trade no dicce
ive tried every suggested remedy
Just keep trying it and trust me it will work you just gotta get the hang of it👍
get the hang of what its just puttin in a code
you had wifi, but did you turn on in-game internet connection?
yes
Yeah but the timing ^
timing???
what's up with the bdsp bot?
Ah ok thanks then mind locking the channel since people don’t want to listen?^
It’s just down atm
Atm=at the moment
bro ive traded like 2 whole boxes and then some of these mons why is timing a problem now? ive put in codes 5 seconds after trade, before the timer is up and like 30 sec after the trade.
ive been inconsistant with timing for a while now i gotta be right on the money
my computer says bdsp-lapras is online
anyone know if there is a command to differentiate male and female basculegion for the gengar bot
I think this is meant for you @mint hill
Yes .trade Zoura F
Something like that I believe
@leaden vale Kubfu cant be shiny and has to be at least Levek 10
Pings doesnt work when you edit the message
Also its not my native language, so idc (especially typos)
oh
Meh. I'm knew to Discord, I don't even know what a ping does
I just know it get's peoples attention
it blows up the other persons computer
@steep fiber If you want a specific gender, it should to look like this:
.trade Garchomp (F)
(F) = Female, (M) = (Male)
@rotund swan Its only possible to have 510 EVs in total. So you cant give every stat 252 EVs
.trade Basculegion-Hisui (F)
so this should be correct?
Basculegion hos only two forms, and those are just forms, not regional forms.
so you just type Basculegion
@next cobalt You dont need to type Alpha: No. If you dont want it, just dont type the line.
.trade Arcanine-Hisui
Shiny: Yes
Is enough :)
Only server related questions here
oh ok
Look it up on google
@knotty void You're using the wrong bot. You requested an obvious swsh pokemon in #940357499297615902. Please make sure to read the channel name or the sticky message to prevent mistakes like this because doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role
ive tried this but it still gives me a male one
.trade Basculegion (F)
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
@rotund swan You're using the wrong bot. You requested an obvious swsh pokemon in #940357499297615902. Please make sure to read the channel name or the sticky message to prevent mistakes like this because doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role
I had first did it on swsh but it was not working, saying that I need to use the legends gengar bot
I'm totally unsure now and I dont know if it works, but maybe try
.trade Basculegion-F
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
You forgot to add the command .trade in front of it also the bot didnt tell you to go to legends gengar hahaha You probably missread the sticky message, thats the only I can imagine😂
Also it cant learn Hyper Beam
.trade Basculegion-F
can confirm this works thank you Duff
@grim marsh Melmetal cant be Shiny and Gmax. Gmax Melmetal was only obtainable from an event where it was non shiny, so its shiny locked. But you can request a shiny regular Melmetal tho
@static brook If you want pokemon in pla with have a hisuian variant form just add -Hisui behind the pokemon species :)
For example:
.trade Arcanine-Hisui
Can certain Pokémon not be in certain Pokeballs? Like I was trying to get a Durant in a heavy ball and I put the Ball: Heavy Ball before the move set and it gave me one in a poke ball both times
Can you show me exactly what you sent in the bot channel?
Yo thanks for the help I was a bit confused
@rotund swan Please dont use Showdown for #940357499297615902. Its not the proper format of the message. Doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role. I mean, you did it several times but it seems like nobody noticed
@green prairie Your Toxtricity needs to be at least Level 50 due to an event move
.trade Durant
Ball: Heavy Ball
Ability: Hustle
EVs: 252 Atk / 6 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- X-Scissor
- Stomping Tantrum
- Iron Head
- Hone Claws
sorry I just thought it’s the same for sw and sh
Its okay, but its not the same actually so please do it like the following:
.trade Garchomp
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
Level: 89
And add or not add however you want it, just dont use Showdown and type the lines yourself (or use PKHeX)
thank you for the information
Just to make sure I can use showdown for swsh correct?
I dont know if Im so tired and exhausted that Im too blind to see it, but I actually dont see a mistake ... I cant say why it doesnt work, because everything seems fine. Its before the moveset, no typo or maybe missing capitalization
yes
Thats absolutely no problem :)
showdown is for swsh
Yeah I thought maybe I did something but it could just be a goof so no worries. Thank you for the replies!
also is massive mass outbreaks after you catch/fight arceus or fight/catch dialga or palkia?
Yes, after the story but please stick to the channels purpose which is server related questions only
Also @rotund swan the H of -Hisui needs to be capitalized.
@grim marsh You're using the wrong bot. You requested an obvious swsh pokemon in #940357499297615902. Please make sure to read the channel name or the sticky message to prevent mistakes like this because doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role
thanks again! 
@steep wigeon Rayquaza with the move V-Create is shiny locked since it got this move only from an event where it wasnt shiny
so im also trying to get basculins but the
.trade Basculin-Hisui
and
.trade Basculin dont seem to work it tells me they arent in the game
I have to admit that this is kinda my nemesis. The only thing that I have in mind is maybe
.trade Basculin-White-Striped
Or
.trade Basculin-Blue-Striped
Even tho Im not sure if the Blue one is in PLA but I can look it up real quick
Ah, it seems that only the white one is in PLA
try .trade basculin-Hisui
Shiny: yes
note:not sure if gengar can generate alphas
It can :) There was just a temporary bug I think were it didnt always generate an Alpha pokemon even tho it was requested
@steep fiber I see you made it work xD Can you tell me how so I know if someone asks in the future? Haha
yo i bought the patreon thing how do i get acess
Link patreon
@vagrant field The message above this one explains you how :)
Links doesnt work, send it in private
thank you
Ah alright xD I know how to do it in PKHeX too but sadly dont have any access to my Laptop rn. At least it worked
I've been trying all day and every single trade has failed or don't work
if i hatch an egg laid by a shiny pokémon will the pokémon come out shiny aswell?
Do you have Nintendo Online as well as made sure to did activate the internet ingame via ycomm so the little button in the bottom left corner looks like this?
if you leave it with a ditto I believe it should lay a shiny
okay thank you
@nimble swan yes I have done this
Do you have Nintendo online?
Yes
Did you press the connect to internet button?
Yes +
Alright, then the only thing I can say is be in a Pokemon Center whike searching (if its in swsh), make sure to have a good wifi signal as well as start searching first when the bot sends you the message with "Initializing the trade"
Did you use link trade, link code 0000 (then the four numbers)
@rotund swan yh I've always put 0000 then the next 4 numbers
@nimble swan ill give it ago
weird

Could it be something wrong with this
can i use the poke bots to get pokemon, or do i need to do the pateron or whatever?
Right okay that will be why then@rotund swan
You can use #swordshield-bot and #940357499297615902. Those are for free
?guide
ok cool thanks
Thank you guys
But make sure to watch the guides first. First link for swsh, second one for pl
In case you didnt already
If you want to be sure that your requested pokemon is legal, use the validate function on Showdown. Pick [Gen 8 SWSH] Anything Goes as a format
?validate
@arctic perch Fused pokemon cant be traded. You need to request both pokemon separately and fuse them ingame with the required item :)
can you set a specific level for a pokemon?
Yes, just add a line with Level: x
For example
.trade Garchomp
Level: 79
Also it has to be before the moveset to work
The gmax command won’t work for me any ideas why?
@nimble swan thank you
send here what you requested
.trade venusaur-gmax
Level:100
Shiny: No
Oh
and all pokemon from the bot are level 100 by default, so no need to put it if it’s what you want
same with shiny, only need to put shiny if yes, you want it shiny
Does anyone having problem receiving pokemon from trade? I have tried to restart the console, checked my internet connection and all is good, so why can't I receive pokemon? TT-TT
.trade Slyveon (M)
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
OT: Kenzi
Ball: LAPoke Ball
Nature: Modest
Level: 20
why does this not work?
.trade Lucario (M) @ Master Ball
Ability: Justified
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Aura Sphere
- Dragon Pulse
- Extreme Speed
- Close Combat
you’re misspelling sylveon
oh im slow
Wait you can put your trainer name??!?
@rotund swan yesterday you told me that I needed to wait two hours and it would work but it still doesn't so is it just never going to work again or can I fix it
.trade Zorua (M)
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
OT: Kenzi
Ball: LAPoke Ball
Nature: Timid
Level: 26
why does it say zorua isn't in the game?
The time I was given to wait has been over and I feel like I need to know my place in the queue. How do I check that?
Does anybody know?
You have to do Zorua-Hisui, the bot will assume you're trying to get normal Zorua
oh alright, ty
yw
why does it say zorua and zoroark can't be alpha? I've gotten an alpha from the bot before that was a zorua
Alphas tend to require higher levels than the normal Pokemon to be requested
Um hey summer how do I get the command for the legends gengar bot
Or how do I like spell it
Because when I do it it doesn't work
.trade Zoroark-Hisui (M)
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
OT: Kenzi
Ball: LAPoke Ball
Nature: Timid
Level: 50
why is this turning to level 100?
The pinned of #swordshield-bot tho, but thats not the important part. Just request it at Level 49/51 and it should work with these
oh alright
The command is in all bot channels the same, if Im not wrong. So it should be .trade
In case that was your question and I didnt misunderstand it
Yeah that was my question so I will try it now 😊
can arceus be shiny?
What game
Well, as I see it right now. It might be important to mention that Showdown isnt the proper format for #940357499297615902 and you have to request your pokemon differently in there. Basically you're just doing this
.trade Garchomp
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
You can also add other stuff too like Level, OT and so on
Suspicious Activity, you have to wait two hours until you're able to trade again
.
What game
legends
It is definitely in BDSP, I think King Ed tried it recently in PLA too and it seemed to accept it, so it should work too
Yes
kk
Wait wait no my bad
No, legends/mythicals cant be Alpha
alright
No
Alright, and how does it happen to be permanent. Like the suspicious activity thing a couple times in a row? So they got permanently banned
Ok thank you
Thank you, its good to know in case someone asks
@rustic sphinx Just to make it easier for you in the future. You dont need to type Level: 100 because it will be automatically if you dont choose a different level. Also you dont have to type Shiny: No or Alpha: No. You only need to add it if you want it to be Shiny: Yes or Alpha: Yes
Oh, thank you. I was trying to use context clues lmao I appreciate that ALOT
@thin pebble If you want a Pokemon which onky has a hisuian variant like Arcanine, Zoroark, Samurott and so on, you only need to add -Hisui after the species
.trade Arcanine-Hisui
The H of -Hisui needs to be capitalized tho
Also, Im not sure but you're Abomasnow and Electivire might failed due to the low level. But as I said, Im really not sure about that
@lucid ocean Volcanion is shiny locked, so you cant get it as shiny with the bots
Question can I get any level in legends arceus or is it always 100
@rotund swan Eternatus is shiny locked too, so also not obtainable with the bots
ok
You can change the level, by adding a new line with Level: x
For example:
.trade Garchomp
Level: 85
Oh ok thank you so much bro your awesome
I have a question, so with the sw/sh gengar bot can i get shiny mew
Yes
@hollow sandal Just in case you didnt know, you have access to #763131979565629510, #legends-arceus-bot and #bdsp-bot since you're a Premium-Member. Also #bdsp-bot is currently down
Nevermind, Im sorry for the unnecessary ping
How do i fix this pls
oh and another question, does the pokemon name have anything to do with trades getting canceled? because i was trying to get a zeraora named NotHacked one day
and it canceled for suspicous activity
in Pokémon legend arceus i was tading my brother and connected was interrupted
I did a trade attempt with sword and shield gengar but it won’t work for some reason it’s says trainer not found each time like 5-7 times and I did connect it do I need the online Nintendo pass ?
Oh
how do i post picture of my shiny on Shiny flex?
Zoura-Hisui
Make sure the H is capitalized
Alright thanks
idek how to get in line with gengar bot
@unique cairn I have a question but I would prefer it to be a pm
Wait how do I get shinies on swsh?
so i messed up and did a diff command again and it says this
do i use the new trade code or still the old one
new one
ok thanks a lot
ive had this happen before
when i got my shiny melmetal
is there a command to cancel a trade?
.qc
So do you need to put EVs while using the bot?
nah you don’t have to
K
Go to the pokemon showdown site for like the advanced stuff like the moves ,held item , shiny or not
.trade Goodra-Hisui
Thanks
can anyone tell me why i cant get a zoroark!!?!?
what game
sword
I'm trying to get my Pokemon on sword and shield but it's not working what am I doing wrong?
use capitals like:
.trade Rowlet
Shiny: Yes
Level: 12
I'm also tryna get a pokemon from the bot but if the connection with the bot isn't a local connection then idk how I'm supposed to get the pokemon. Apparently I'm supposed to buy a membership to use internet
Okay thanks 👍
Does the Patreon charge you agian when your membership is over or does it just cancel and wait for renewal
It will charge you at the beginning of every month unless you turn off auto-renewal in your settings
i think
.qs
How do you get Lapras bot
paid service through #click-me
Yep, you need to buy the online membership through the Nintendo Eshop
Can you get shiny zacian or zamazenta?
yes to both
Crowned as well?
crowned is a battle form but yea
ok thanks
It keeps saying cannot find trade link even though it was working earlier for me?
Hey how do i get access to the Bdsp Bot ?
paid service through #click-me
.trade Giganiga (Gigalith) (M) @ Hard Stone
Ability: Weak Armor
Shiny: Yes
Lax Nature
- Sandstorm
- Iron Defense
- Rock Blast
- Hyper Beam
do it like this:
.trade Zorua-Hisui
I did that and can’t get arcanine
capitalization matters
Alright
How do I cancel auto renewal
what error message are you getting?
i would assume it’s in this server settings, somewhere around the same place you bought it
If your system gets turned off or becomes unable to communicate while you’re trading, you won’t be able to trade Pokémon for a while.
Please make sure your system’s battery is charged and your connection is stable.
I mean in the DMs with lapras haha
and you’ve got that multiple times?
whenever I try to do shiny zacian it says, Cannot make a zacian from that set, why?
Does it say illegal in showdown?
What mozes did you give it
- Play Rough
- Iron Head
- Sacred Sword
- Solar Blade
Zcian Crowned?
Alright thanks
@rotund swan Was it Zacian Crowned?
normal
So not crowned?
nope
Just paste here what you requested
oh wait
I deleted a letter in its name on accident
im sorry
ok
If I'm not online, message one of the server people
How can i get banned!!! I wrote in the right codes several time but it still did mot work... -_-
@lime scarab
Zacian did not work, Oops! I wasn't able to create a Zacian from that set.
No valid matching encounter available: (Exhausted 3/5 possible encounters).
. The hisui thing don’t work or did I do something wrong? trade Goopy (Goodra-Hisui) (M) @ Life Orb

I sending a pokemon trade request that part work, but then at the beginning of trading it says oops can't find trainer, cancel the trade, And I even checked the network and the code so it was right
But either the code or the network was all fine, so why can't I trade then?
Hey did I do something?
Goopy (Goodra-Hisui) (M) @ Life Orb

- Acid Armor @unique cairn
Oh my fault
@unique cairn I used a shiny zacian not crowned and it says It cant make a zacian with that set
What’s with the star things in some of the channel names?
Was that an emoji or special symbol text or something
Did you fix it? Oh, I see now. You nicknamed the Zacian? shiny zacian is an event pokemon. It ca't be nicknamed
Sorry I didn't get your response, my computer was closed
Yes its working now 🙂
Those are premium bots. They are much faster. but you have too pay for them
Glad it's working
Do all legendary pokemon work shiny without a nickname?
only event pokemon
In that regard
@rotund swan I got a shiny Regieleki named Registorm, and that was not from an event, shiny zacian and zamazenta are
So others work shinys with nicknames only event legendarys cant have nicknames?
any event pokemon can't have a nickname
I believe
also, @violet fossil would have to type .trade befor everything else
I don't mean to be rude, correcting you and all, I just like helping out. And you forgot that. So yeah
How do you download the file I’m that far on mobile
.convert instead of .trade
then download the fil the bot sends you, type .trade in chat, and click the plus button near the chat at the bottom to add the file
How do you become a pokedex helper?
?
?
I don't know about that, @raven fossil .
If you want to be a Dex Helper you can apply through the Helper Team application in #783060520462188596
What are Dex Helpers?
They help others with their Pokedexes
How so?
Oh, trading with people so that they can fill their pokedex's?
Why is my status set to Idol? Is that a server problem or a discord problem?
Am I being rude for asking questions after helping answer questions?
Sorry.
This is only true for events in gen 8, events from other gens can be nicknamed, this is because in most gens you'd get the same screen as if you caught a wild Pokemon, gen 8 just puts the Pokemon in your Party or Box instantly
It's not rude if you have questions after answering others, there's a chance there's something you didn't know
Oh. Good. So, can you help?
I answer questions when I can
Why is my status set to Idol? Is that a server problem or a discord problem?
Should I be asking that here?
If it's set to that, you've been in the same channel for at least 10 minutes
It just shows others that though you're online you're not talking at that time, you can just switch channels to set it back to active
Is there a way I can ask for like a promotion or something? To be classified as a helper?
Cuz I've been helping answer some questions
If you wish you can apply through the Helper Team Application in #783060520462188596
Thanks
yw
Would that be like a bot helper?
yep
is elternate role application the right file?
yes
thanks
yw
what's sysbot?
Sysbots are what Gengar and Lapras are, bots that generate Pokemon and trade them out
oh, i know those.
what are the bot games?
and can I skip the question on Dex Helpers?
bot games are the bottom category of channels, if you aren't applying for it the question can be ignored
what do you mean bottom category?
like swsh and bdsp?
the game that the run on?
sorry
but that is it, right? The game they run on?
no, the games category like #varubot-pokemeow and #pokétwo
so the tag it has in the side menu?
yea
thanks
So when will I get a response on my application?
and ur ok if on week days I have camp from 7:45 to like . . . 4 or 5 30
@rotund swan ?
Hello?
we usually only let applicants know if they actually got the role, not if they didn’t. to save you some time, i don’t think you’ll get the role soon because you are still generally new at helping but if you continue helping and giving adequate answers than maybe. and yea time on discord is discussed at a later time
yeah, i suppose
Wel ik I’m not trying to get crowned zacian is it he rusted sword maybe? How do Input the command for shiny zacian and zamazenta
Maybe its the level?
can’t nickname event mons
Ok
I tried to trade and instead of the no trainer found it said suspicious activity
Idk if that’s progress but it’s a change nonetheless
Have you traded to two different save files or used two discord accounts?
Why can’t I get porygon 2
I used .trade porygon-2
hyphen isn’t needed
I’m wondering does the bot work with eggs like making them
If you can what is the command you put in?
Does anyone know how to get pokemon sword and shield for free
