questions

[ocean wigeon]

question are the pkmn illegaly created?

[teal flicker]

Yes, they are. However in legends arceus you can use .convert to get a fully legal egg traded to you

[ocean wigeon]

ah ok

[teal flicker]

wait what

how-\

wha-

But then how are they generated so fast?

[static blaze]

anything that could be caught is able to be made

[teal flicker]

yeah thats not what I answered by illegally I thought they meant "is the bot a macro that just catches the pokemon on its own, or does it generate them"

but I acknowledge my mistake and still want to learn more about this kind of thing

[rotund swan]

Simple answer, all Pokémon traded here are LEGAL.

[pliant prism]

?guide

[winter radish]

Can anyone help me get the bdsp bot to work

[rotund swan]

What’s wrong @winter radish

[winter radish]

for some reason this isn’t working…

Raichu @ Life Orb
Ability: Static
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

• Nasty Plot
• Thunder Punch
• Hidden Power [Ice]
• Encore

[rotund swan]

Did you run it through showdown?

[winter radish]

yeah

[rotund swan]

How many times did you get an error

[winter radish]

Like 2

I’m gonna try again and see if it works

Yeahhh it’s not working

[rotund swan]

Hmm I don’t no the answer off the top of my head but I’m checking around to find out

[winter radish]

Ok ty

ahh that’s my bad

thanks

[rotund swan]

Ahh there it is.

[winter radish]

what website should I use then

well I’m in the website but how do I get to bdsp ubers

[rotund swan]

Under format scroll to bd/sp

[winter radish]

idk where kinda new to the website

[rotund swan]

Go to the websites home page. At the top click “play” you’ll then get to this screen where you’ll click “format”

[pliant prism]

you need to be in the teambuilder not the homepage

click on whatever team you're using to make ur pokemon

then in the format area you can choose BDSP ubers

[winter radish]

Tysm

[pliant prism]

no problem

[winter radish]

Still tho.

[rotund swan]

can’t learn body slam

[winter radish]

Just a move replacement til I get hidden power lol I didn’t know

[rotund swan]

click the validate button and it will tell you if something is illegal in your request

[nimble swan]

Also if you picked a format, it shows you if a move is illegal

[winter radish]

Ok

I picked bdsp uber

[prime marten]

What do I put in for lycanroc midday form?

[teal flicker]

For midday is just Lycanroc, for midnight is Lycanroc-Midnight and for Dusk is Lycanroc-Dusk

[prime marten]

thank youuu

[teal flicker]

np

[prime marten]

how do you check what your TID is

[tacit vault]

I got patron lapars but I didn’t get the lapars bot

[teal flicker]

disconnect and reconnect your patreon to discord

wait did you already connect it yet?

[nimble swan]

Link patreon

[teal flicker]

also Idk how to check tid

[prime marten]

kk

[teal flicker]

oogway might know they're a lot more experienced

[nimble swan]

Tid is visible at every pokemon you caught

[prime marten]

gotcha thanks

[teal flicker]

alr

what about sid I've always been curious about that

[nimble swan]

Sid is not visible in the game, you have to use the bot to find it out or it also might work out with PKHeX and the save file but you need to homebrew your switch for that. With the bot its either the dump command, which isnt active anymore or you can pick settings that when you trade with the bot or use a clone command that its sending you a PKHeX file of your traded/pokemon you want ro clone back

[teal flicker]

hm

[nimble swan]

Its less important, only if you dont have all badges so the overleveled pokemon obeys you

Sincw it doesnt count as traded

[teal flicker]

does TID matter?

well a better question is why does it matter

[nimble swan]

Only if you dont want others to know that its not your Pokemon

[teal flicker]

m

wait but what does it do if you change it

does it change the origin of the pokemon or what

so basically it's useless because people can still see the "Pokemon was hatched from an egg received from a link trade"

I change the OT but tid seems worthless

[nimble swan]

Actually yes, but if you use PKHeX then you can even change the way you received it as well as the date and even the memory. So if you want, you could make it seem like you got it yourself

[teal flicker]

but you can't use PKHeX for swsh can you?

[nimble swan]

You can use the files for every game

And every bot

[teal flicker]

alr Im gonna go ahead and test this theory

also thanks for teaching me so much sensei

wait would I need to mod my switch

[nimble swan]

No no, PKHeX is just a program for PC/Laptop

[teal flicker]

Hold up hold up can I edit these pokemon to my hearts content?

like give them 1000 EVs or something

just for funs

[nimble swan]

Not that I know of. Thats probably not possible due to the gamecode

[teal flicker]

true

I might try later anyways

ah right

one sec what is battle version in unexpected range

[viscid kettle]

Sry if this question is a little unanswerable but will there be a trade bot for Pokémon violet and scarlet?

[teal flicker]

Perhaps, as you said its quite difficult to answer

most likely yes, though it might take away a bot or two from previous gens

[nimble swan]

We don't know yet, since the games aren't out and it also depends all on the developers

[teal flicker]

yeah

also oogway do you know why my lapras just refuses to generate

[nimble swan]

How does what you tried to trade look?

[teal flicker]

I didn't

Like PKHeX keeps saying something is wrong

PID is invalid (Even though I rerolled it) and battle version is incorrect for some reason

[nimble swan]

Can you attach the file to your message then, so I can download it and see myself what might be wrong?

[teal flicker]

yeah one sec

also how do I change it to square shiny in the file

I did it once but now I can't anymore :P

ah well here it is:

[nimble swan]

The problem is, Im not much used to PKHeX so sadly I cant tell you much about it

[teal flicker]

m

thats fine, you know more than me xD

also how would I trade the file

just .trade then the file?

[nimble swan]

Yes

[teal flicker]

alr ill test out the current one then

so apparently its not legal

[rotund swan]

Ok so I’ve tried this for a shiny lunala, and I can request it but in game the square effect doesn’t work for Solgaleo and Lunala, or am I missing something..?

[teal flicker]

can I see the request?

[rotund swan]

Yeah one sec

.trade Aegis (Solgaleo)
Ability: Full Metal Body
Shiny: Square
Ball: Master Ball
EVs: 224 HP / 32 SpA / 252 Spe

• Fire Blast
• Flame Charge
• Iron Defense
• Sunsteel Strike

[teal flicker]

hm

[rotund swan]

Just replacing yes with square has worked for other Pokémon like my Gardevoir

[teal flicker]

does the trade go through?

[rotund swan]

Yes I get the Pokémon, but it doesn’t get the effect in game

[teal flicker]

is it shiny?

[rotund swan]

Yes

[teal flicker]

Could simply be that square shinies don't exist in sun/moon

try just shiny: Yes and see if that works

[rotund swan]

Alr thanks

Wait so Zacian isn’t shiny locked, we just can’t name it?

[teal flicker]

yeah

that was my mistake, sorry

[rotund swan]

Oh awesome I didn’t know that either

[teal flicker]

I keep realizing how much I have to learn xD

[rotund swan]

So if it wasn’t nicknamed would that effect it?

Ok thanks

[teal flicker]

I have one but I havent tested it in battle so idk if it is actually square

[next elbow]

Shiny tyranitar , sorry I took so long to respond, I actually did that late at night so I went to bed.

what does it mean when pkhex says "battle version is not within expected range" ?

[teal flicker]

Oh it happened to me too, I just set it to ---- and it worked fine

But I've been having problems too, the PID is supposedly invalid

[next elbow]

When I change it to —— it takes the battle ready stamp away. I’m not trying to use them in ranked battles, I just play unranked casual or battle against irl friends

I’m trying to do it for sword and shield

[teal flicker]

Yeah but the bots don't generate any illegal pokemon no matter what

[next elbow]

It’s not illegal though I’m making a legal Pokémon aren’t I?

I don’t really know terminology lol

[teal flicker]

well if it has a red warning sign then it counts as illegal

[next elbow]

It only gives me the warning sign when I change the battle version from —— to sword and shield

I don’t get what I’m doing wrong here , but if anyone can let me know I’d appreciate it

[teal flicker]

idk either, first time using PKHeX

[next elbow]

It really just doesn’t like me picking a battle version for this tyranitar

[modest skiff]

Am I able to ask the bots for a level 1 pokemon?

[next elbow]

When I change it back from sword to —— it suddenly becomes a LEGAL Pokémon. Which makes absolutely 0 sense to me. But I feel like I’m Lowkey just dumb

[teal flicker]

should be yeah

[modest skiff]

Ok

[latent oar]

its based on the mon, like legends cant be lvl one because there is a minimum level for them

[teal flicker]

yeah ik

but most mons would work due to eggs

[silent hemlock]

Unless they are evolutions

[teal flicker]

yeah

[candid basin]

Is mew available in sword and shield?

[teal flicker]

yes

[prime marten]

How do you find the SID?

[nimble swan]

Im not possible with the bots in here, but you can instead pic a random 4 digit number to still make it work with the TID. The only thing a right SID and TID does is making the pokemon obey you when you havent obtained all badges yet

[rotund swan]

Hey how can I ask for lv 1 Pokémon is swsd

[teal flicker]

.trade Muk
Shiny: Yes
Level: 1

it would have to be able to be level 1 in base game though

[rotund swan]

Oh dang

[teal flicker]

basically, you can request a level 1 for any basic evolution or pokemon who can't evolve

[unkempt barn]

What does it mean when the bot says sus activity

[teal flicker]

It means either someone took your trade by accident (Someone else in the world used the same code) Or you used the bot for 2 save files. First option is more likely

Just try again once the slowmode is done

[unkempt barn]

It’s done it twice

In a a row

[silent hemlock]

That makes sense

[unkempt barn]

And I had the code pre typed

As soon as it said I did I lit

[silent hemlock]

It’s not about being too slow

[teal flicker]

idrk, maybe if I get proper training for this I can help more with this kind of thing

but im tired rn so cya

I hope that even if my trainee application doesn't get accepted someone will at least coach me a bit

anyways gn

[unkempt barn]

Ok

So try again?

[silent hemlock]

in a few hours.

[unkempt barn]

Ok

[sharp aspen]

best fire type pokémon to use from the start on swsh?

[sharp aspen]

ohh

didn’t know that

[nimble swan]

Its all good :)

[sharp aspen]

should i ask that in #951270958830866482

[nimble swan]

Yes, that is probably the best :)

[normal vessel]

Is diancie obtainable in pokemon sword/shield

[rotund swan]

@solid stump that technically is a server question since he’s asking if the bot can produce it

@normal vessel the answer is yes.

[normal vessel]

Thank you.

[rotund swan]

[slim eagle]

hello

i just wanted to ask

what is SID and TID in the sword and shield bots

[rotund swan]

Can you ask for cherish balls when you generate Pokémon? Just curious since I like their look a lot

[static blaze]

cherish balls are only useable for event style mons

[rotund swan]

Aw alr

[rotund swan]

@low sierra check pins for what you can’t trade.

[next elbow]

Does anyone know what it means when pkhex says “battle version is not within expected range”

[vapid raft]

Is there a bot for brilliantdiamond?

[nimble swan]

TID is a 6 digit number which is also the one that is shown in the report of the Pokemon. SID is a 4 digit number which is just for the pokemon to obey you if you haven't managed to get all badges yet. SID cant be seen in the game and if you want to know yours you need the help of the bots, but Im not sure if the command that is needed for it is activated

[calm geyser]

What is all of the commands for legends-Gengar

[nimble swan]

.trade, .convert, .qs and .qc
.trade to trade the pokemon you want (as long as its legal)
.convert to make the bot create a legal PKHeX file of the Pokemon you want with whatever you want it to have (as long as its legal)
.qs to see your current position in the queue
And .qc to cancel the trade

[nimble swan]

Thanks for letting me know, that makes it a easier a lot ^^'

[nimble swan]

I think that this is the problem with your Battle Version choice. I assume you picked it because you want the battle-ready stamp and this kinda says what is needed to get the battle-ready stamp. I recommend just to not pick a Battle Version and try to get the stamp

[eager wasp]

How can i be a premium member

[nimble swan]

Click on the marked button while being on PC/Laptop and purchase the Premium service to get access to the supporter exclusive Lapras bots (Idk why it doesnt work on mobile)

[rotund swan]

@languid lion what happened

I think I see what happened. Watch this guide please.

?guide

Capitalization matters. Take a look at the guide and play around with the tools it shows. It’ll assist with formatting your trades

@fluid crater @stable kernel

Watch punctuation, spacing and spelling.
Those will cause the trade to fail.

@digital whale

[vital pendant]

anyone know how to get a galor Ponyta

From the bot

[teal flicker]

.trade Ponyta-Galar

[vital pendant]

ok

[gilded flume]

Anyone know the command for shiny alpha zorua?

[marble herald]

.trade zorua-Hisui
Shiny: yes
Alpha: yes

Just copy and paste that and it should work

[gilded flume]

Can i choose its level?

[marble herald]

Level: 1-100

[gilded flume]

So its random or chooses based on mon?

[marble herald]

You can choose it

[gilded flume]

So thefull command is
.trade zorua-Hisui
Shiny: yes
Alpha: yes
Level: 30?

[marble herald]

Yes

[gilded flume]

Thanks

[marble herald]

Yep np

[teal flicker]

it isn’t fully correct, you need to capitalise both Yes’s and the pokemon name

otherwise it won’t work

[nimble swan]

It works with the not capitalized Pokemon species

Only Hisui matters

[teal flicker]

true

but the yes needs to be capitalized

[nimble swan]

Im not sure about the yes, but I dont think it matters now anymore, but it did in the past. I only know that it fails to gen it as shiny and alpha when "Shiny" and "Yes" both are not capitalized but it might also be due to the shiny

[gilded flume]

Yea cause i got normal not alpha

Why it saying rowlet cant evolve right now?

Same for the zorua

Is it cause i disnt do capital yes its bugged?

[nimble swan]

Its most likely due to that and thats is no bug

[gilded flume]

Nvm, they were outside ball so they coukdnt

[south quartz]

Hi um quick question why does my trade keep getting disconnected saying stopped for suspicious activity?

[nimble swan]

I dont knownif there's a cooldown or something but maybe wait for 1-2h before trying again if you repeatedly get the trade cancelled due to SUSpicious activity

[south quartz]

Ah OK thanks

[minor tiger]

?guide

@terse glen

Watch the guide for the game your using

[night pebble]

Do I need darkrai to complete the Pokédex and fight arceus?

[minor tiger]

Yes

[night pebble]

Really? Then the game was made so you have to have two other Pokémon games as well?

[minor tiger]

More or less yeah but you can always get them free from #940357499297615902 or ask for help with your dex in #937075162392719481

[terse glen]

ty

[night pebble]

Wait what, how do I get them from legends gengar

[minor tiger]

Guides right there

[night pebble]

Thanks

[rotund swan]

Is spectier availible as a shiny?

Same for Calyrex

[minor tiger]

No there both shiny locked of ya check the pins in #swordshield-bot it will tell ya what ya cannot get

[rotund swan]

Ok thanks

[lyric zenith]

I have tried to trade with the sword and shield gengar bot 2 times, and I have put in the right link codes and then the bot says that no trainer was found, what is happening rn?

[teal flicker]

first, are you connected to the internet?

[lyric zenith]

yes

[teal flicker]

so you went in y-comm and pressed the + button, connected to the internet then put in link code?

keep in mind you need nintendo online for the bots

[lyric zenith]

yeah I did that, and I do have online

[teal flicker]

hmmm

try inputting a custom link code for the bot

[lyric zenith]

?

[teal flicker]

e.g : .trade 00008928
Gengar
Ability: Cursed Body

[lyric zenith]

how do I do that

ok

[teal flicker]

put a set of 8 numbers before the mon you want to generate

[digital hinge]

i am having problems with the gengar bot

[teal flicker]

What is your problem, don't just say you have them

[lyric zenith]

thanks

[pseudo breach]

My trade for Pokémon sword and sheild isn’t going through and I’ve waited 5 minutes longer than the estimated time. What should I do?

[teal flicker]

simply wait until it says initializing trade, just be patient

[digital hinge]

every time i try to type it wont let me idk if its a problem with the bot but i just need help

[teal flicker]

maybe you have slowmode on?

you can only type in #swordshield-bot once every 10 minutes

[digital hinge]

alr how do i change that i am not great with discord

[teal flicker]

you can't its a setting with the server

so people don't spam the bot at light speed

[digital hinge]

oh ok

thank you

[teal flicker]

np it happens sometimes

[bold gale]

How do u put a form on a pokemon with gengar swsh, trynna get galarian shiny zapdos tho

[teal flicker]

.trade Zapdos-Galar
Shiny: Yes

there you go

[bold gale]

Ohhhhhhh and how bout lycanroc?

[bold gale]

Thx

[teal flicker]

for midday: Lycanroc midnight: Lycanroc-Midnight Dusk: Lycanroc-Dusk

[bold gale]

TYSM

[teal flicker]

np

Urshifu Single Strike is Urshifu and Rapid strike is Urshifu-Rapid-Strike

incase that was your next question

[bold gale]

Ty, i was planning on getting the urshifus as well, lol

[teal flicker]

no problem!

just keep in mind that urshifu is shiny-locked

[bold gale]

👍

[bold gale]

Ik

[teal flicker]

good, a lot of people don't and ask here when it's obvious

[bold gale]

Lmao

Zacian and Zamazenta r shiny locked?

[teal flicker]

No, but you cannot nickname them

[bold gale]

Oh ok

[teal flicker]

or put them in a special ball

or give them behemoth moves

so its pretty limited selection, but they can still be shiny

[bold gale]

Thx

[small arch]

how do i trade a pokemon?

[slender flume]

Is there a command to make the pokemon a male?

[lyric zenith]

is there a problem with yveltal in shiny form when trading becase when I trade with the bot and I ask for shiny yveltal and put the right code, it later says no trainer found

[teal flicker]

.trade Gengar (M)

[nimble swan]

?guide

[teal flicker]

if you want a female just change the m to f

[nimble swan]

It is the easiest to watch the guides :) First link is for swsh, second one for pla

[teal flicker]

notrainerfound has nothing to do with yveltal shiny

[lyric zenith]

I am putting the right link code

[lime scarab]

try custom code

[lyric zenith]

i did

[teal flicker]

are you connected to the internet?

[lyric zenith]

yes

[lime scarab]

You entered custom code?

[teal flicker]

alr I will leave this to oogway, They’re a lot better with technical errors

[nimble swan]

@fringe dagger and @cunning stone Dont use Pokemon Showdown for #940357499297615902. Click on the second link of the message Im replying to, to rewatch the guide on how to use the bot properly

[ruby relic]

What’s going on

[lyric zenith]

I did .trade (code) then the stats I wanted for the shiny yveltal

[ruby relic]

Paste it here

[lime scarab]

can you send what you did

[lyric zenith]

ok

.trade 00009067
Yveltal @ Life Orb
Ability: Dark Aura
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 390 HP / 365 Atk
Adamant Nature
-Dark Pulse
-Oblivion Wing
-Heat wave
-Sucker Punch

[nimble swan]

The EVs have a max of 252 for each stat and a total max of 510 spread across all

[ruby relic]

^

[lyric zenith]

thanks

[ruby relic]

You’d need to allocate to other stats~ if not any

[nimble swan]

@pulsar hazel Read the message Im replying to, since this applies for you as well

[ruby relic]

I’d suggest you do all this on showdown, makes it easier and faster for yourself.

You’re also able to validate on showdown, which makes the whole process easier.

[nimble swan]

@fringe dagger I told you to stop using Showdown. You should stop and watch the guide unless you want to get bot banned

[pulsar hazel]

I CANT GET A SHINY SNEASEL WHY

[ruby relic]

Probably level issue

[pulsar hazel]

i caught a sneasel

i copy it into teambuilder

[ruby relic]

Also no evs, and nature in legends

[pulsar hazel]

i dont know how to get rid of those

[nimble swan]

I already told you to stop using Showdown for #940357499297615902

[ruby relic]

.trade Sneasel-Hisui (M)
Level: 46
Shiny: Yes

• Slash
• Poison Jab
• Swords Dance
• Close Combat

[nimble swan]

Rewatch the guide unless you want to get bot banned

[pulsar hazel]

ok

ty

[nimble swan]

Nature is in the game and ivs, evs as well as ability doesnt matter to the bot. Its mainly the moves which will cause it to fail and even if you pick moves which can be learnt by the pokemon and are in the game theres a probability of the bot saying "Oops! The set took too long to generate"

Ability is also in the game, its just not present. Yet still in the game so the pokemon have an ability when traded to home and maybe a different game. Thats what I know for sure. What my guess is, that the same applies for IVs and EVs as well

Thats why people know what all Hisuian variants and new evolutions have or can have as ability before the update where you can connect it to home cane out. Even before the game was released

(I have tried it with IVs, EVs, Nature and Abilty plenty of times on a different server, in case it may failed so I dont get in trouble for trying, and it worked completely fine, so its not just an idea or thought. It works or maybe worked in case they updated the bot in some sort of way which makes it fail, but I doubt it since I still see people using Showdown, just without picking moves as well as a held item and it works fine)

@shadow gazelle Im sorry to tell you, but fused Pokemon cant be traded. Sadly you have to request both separately and fuse them ingame with the maguired item (you get those from the merchant in Stow-on-side if you have the necessary Pokemon in your team)

[nimble swan]

@stable kernel Do you still need help because requesting the hisuian variants?

My student @rotund swan,
you requested a pokemon from swsh in #940357499297615902 and thats not where its supposed to be, you should pay more attention or you'll earn the bot banned role after doing it repeatedly

Go to #swordshield-bot

[rotund swan]

Sorry il read that wrong

[teal flicker]

@fast jolt That hattrem won't work simply because the ball input is wrong, It has to be Ball: Love Ball instead

[nimble swan]

Its all good, just make sure it doesnt happen again :)

[fast jolt]

Thank you!

[teal flicker]

no problem!

[fast jolt]

Ooops that didn’t work either. Says no possible encounters?

[nimble swan]

Its your EV line

[teal flicker]

OH

I didn't see that

[nimble swan]

Its EVs:

[teal flicker]

there needs to be a colon yeah

[nimble swan]

But you have two spaces instead of one space and one :

@fast jolt

[fast jolt]

.trade hattrem @ master ball
Shiny: Yes
Level: 5
OT: Hunter17
Ability: Magic Bounce
Nature: Bold
Ball: Love
EVs: 252 HP / 244 Def / 12 Spe

Like this?

[nimble swan]

Yes

[teal flicker]

Make sure it's love ball

[fast jolt]

Right

[teal flicker]

and not just love, otherwise it won't give you the right ball

[nimble swan]

Are you using Showdown or are you typing everything manually?

I guess its second

[fast jolt]

I was just copy pasting

[nimble swan]

Weird, because hattrem and master ball arent capitalized. It isnt necessarily needed in that case, but if it doesnt hold the master ball try capitalization like Master Ball
The species shouldnt matter as long as its no regional form

[fast jolt]

Could it just be that the box it out of the mon?

[nimble swan]

@upbeat gust and @austere sentinel You both requested shiny locked pokemon, make sure to watch the pins in #swordshield-bot for a list with all Pokemon which arent unobtainable as shiny

[nimble swan]

I see your problem, you are requesting the second evolution. I thought its the first one, thats why I didnt say anything. Your level is too low, it evolves at Level 32 so this it the least Level it can be

[teal flicker]

oh wait hattrem is a second evolution

well that makes sense

[fast jolt]

Oooohhhhhh my bad

.trade Hatenna @ master ball
Shiny: Yes
Level: 5
OT: Hunter17
Ability: Magic Bounce
Nature: Bold
Ball: Love Ball
EVs: 252 HP / 244 Def / 12 Spe

How’s that?

[nimble swan]

No problem, actually have you ever tries validate on Showdown. It akes a legality check for you

[teal flicker]

that would work

[nimble swan]

Level is still 5 and not 32

[teal flicker]

why would you want it level 5 though>

[nimble swan]

Ah wait

[teal flicker]

its first evolution now

:P

[fast jolt]

Nice thanks guys

[nimble swan]

Yeah yeah, saw it too. Names are too similar lol

[teal flicker]

Why do you want it level 5

[teal flicker]

Hatenna, Hatrem, Hatterene

All I see is hats

[fast jolt]

I wanted level 5 cuz I intended to build a team to go through new playthrough

[teal flicker]

mm

but why level 5? So it'll obey you?

[teal flicker]

Im still confused :(

[fast jolt]

Lol just a thing I do boss

[teal flicker]

alr

[nimble swan]

@strong bison Please dont use #940357499297615902 to request Pokemon you want to get in swsh. If you do it repeatedly, then you'll end up being bot banned and not able to use them again (role is permanent)

Also you'll be able to trade again when you have received your pokemon and the bot told you the message with "enjoy your pokemon" or something similar

[nimble swan]

@regal sage Heatran with the move Eruptions is shint locked since it is an event move and the event Heatran wasnt shiny :)

[regal sage]

Ok

[glacial fern]

how can i check where i am in line?

for the bot

[teal flicker]

.qs

but you shouldnt need to if you are patient

[nimble swan]

People could also check this because they are doing something else while waiting, like watching a series or similar and want to know when its their turn or how long they approximately still have to wait until they should get ready because when the "Initializing trade"-message comes you dont have that much time

[teal flicker]

they get pinged when the thing happens

I just have my switch chillin next to me ready for the link code while I chill

[nimble swan]

I know that they get, but what I said still applies. It could also be out of curiosity or maybe reason I cant think of. The reason why I said that is because you just assumed a reason why the person who asked want to know the command

[teal flicker]

yeah

[nimble swan]

@gilded wyvern Just so you know, event pokemon from Gen 8, like shiny Zacian, cant be nickbamed

[gilded wyvern]

Oh ok Ty

[nimble swan]

@runic spoke Since this was your first attempt, I dont know if it was actually a mistake so Im going the safe way and just tell you even if you might now it
You need the prefix . in front of trade so it looks like this
.trade Ditto @ Master Ball
Ability: Limber
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 128 HP / 144 Atk / 24 SpA / 32 SpD / 120 Spe

[teal flicker]

wait did they?

uh

yeah whatever I nearly forgot it on my first trade

[runic spoke]

Yes it's my first attempt thank you so much

.trade Ditto @ Master Ball
Ability: Limber
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 128 HP / 144 Atk / 24 SpA / 32 SpD / 120 Spe

[teal flicker]

make sure to put it in #swordshield-bot :D

[nimble swan]

@shrewd onyx Your request is a couple minutes ago, but just so you know. It failed because of the move Celebrate which doesnt exist in Gen 8 at least according to validate and on top of that Celebrate is an event move and it needs to be not shiny as well as have the hidden ability

@rotund swan Even tho you made it work, I want to tell you that capitalization matters
Try it like that and it should come out as shiny and alpha
.trade Gyarados
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

[rotund swan]

Trade. Gyarados
Shiny: yes
Alpha: yes

[teal flicker]

.trade Gyarados
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

just use that :D

[rotund swan]

trade. Gyarados
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

[teal flicker]

the "." goes before trade

not after

and do it in #swordshield-bot not here

so they shouldn't put it in swordshield gengar?

:P

oh right

I overlooked my idiocy

#940357499297615902

[restive osprey]

can i get a pokemon holding an ability patch or gold bottle cap

[teal flicker]

yes

[rotund swan]

@restive osprey please look into pokemon showdown as seen in the guide

?guide

[nimble swan]

@maiden hawk Since its the second time you requested a shiny Victini: Victini is shiny locked. What does that mean? It doesnt exist legally as shiny so its not obtainable with the bots. Look at the list with all shint locked pokemon in the pins of #swordshield-bot

@potent moon No Showdown as format for #940357499297615902. Click on the second link of the message Im replying to and watch the guide to learn how to use the bots properly

@maiden hawk There is a handful of Pokemon that are shint locked and still you manage to pick those and attempt to get them as instead of looking in the pins as I told you and make sure what you request actually works.
Look. In. The. Pins.

@timid trout Scorbunny and all evolutions cant have Sniper as ability. Either Blaze or Libero

[severe fox]

...?

???

hi

[nimble swan]

Thats the best server related question I have seen the past 20 years. Everyone should take this as an example of how to do it

[buoyant bolt]

Why is there no bdsp gengar

[teal flicker]

#mini-news

[maiden hawk]

I don't understand how I cant get a shiny Victini in Shield but other people can?

this confuses me

[rotund swan]

@maiden hawk what do you mean?

Other people might get it from illegal means.

Which you don’t want anyway

@buoyant bolt it was taken down to allocate elsewhere.

[maiden hawk]

when I do surprise trades in shield, they show off shiny Vicitini

so I don't understand how its shiny locked when people have it in Sword/Shield

[rotund swan]

Oh I bet! But that’s because they get them from illegal methods

[maiden hawk]

just like Shiny Zarude is a thing

[rotund swan]

Everything here is designed to keep everything legal

[maiden hawk]

okay that makes sense

[rotund swan]

[maiden hawk]

sorry..i'm a noob at this

never used bots before

[rotund swan]

No worries! It’s why this channel is here. Feel free to ask as many questions as you need

[maiden hawk]

so I'm guessing Zarude is shiny locked also

I just need the save files so I bring mine over from Pokemon Go

[rotund swan]

Yep the list is in #swordshield-bot pinned messages

[maiden hawk]

same with Victini

[rotund swan]

@shadow gazelle please check pinned messages of what can and can not be traded.

[shadow gazelle]

Alright thanks I’m kinda new here anyways

[rotund swan]

No problem!

[maiden hawk]

Thank you 🙂

[quasi pivot]

I forgot what format to queue in a trade for Pokémon can anyone help me

for arceus

[static blaze]

it’s like swsh!
.trade Eevee
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

[quasi pivot]

Ok thank you

[teal flicker]

@spare ore Marshadow is shiny locked

[rotund swan]

@little ore check pinned messages for what is and isn’t available.

[graceful cipher]

What is the difference between .trade and .convert?

[rotund swan]

@graceful cipher .trade is to trade and .convert converts a Pokémon into a format

[fresh dragon]

How to gen a jp ditto?

In Swsh

[rotund swan]

If you check the pinned messages you’ll see it at the bottom.

Add
Language:
Before Moveset

@fresh dragon

[fresh dragon]

Tkss

[nimble swan]

@boreal bolt Zacian might be available in a lower level due to PoGo yet still its shiny version is event exclusive and needs to be Level 100

[boreal bolt]

Yeh turns out it has to be lv70 or up

[nimble swan]

To be shiny it needs to be Level 100

@thick moss Dragapult learns Double Edge at Level 66, so it needs to be at least .... exactly, Level 66

[thick moss]

oh alright. For some reason it never picks me up on the codes. I have Nintendo plus and I’m always waiting just never works would you have answers for that?

[nimble swan]

Have you activated the internet ingame via Y-Comm so the little button in the bottom left corner is blue with a white Y inside and looks like this?

Or is it white button with blue y inside? Because then you didnt activate it

[thick moss]

it’s blue

[nimble swan]

Alright, then you might try to stand in a Pokemon Center while you're searching as well as make sure the wifi signal is good

[thick moss]

okay thank you

[nimble swan]

@eternal edge Do you have time to speak about our lord and saviour, Jesus Christ? If not, then we can talk about this ... I'd really appreciate if you could not go to #940357499297615902 and request swsh pokemon. Please do that in #swordshield-bot unkess you want the get bot banned of course ;) If thats your goal keep on doing Champ

[eternal edge]

👍🏾

[nimble swan]

@coarse ruin General Kenobi. We would all love to give every stat 252 EVs but sadly its only possible to have 510 EVs in total making it impossible and limits it to two

@eternal edge My friend, its just a slight mistake (no worries, no bot ban for such things. Just me trying to help you get your Pokemon). You're Pikachu has to be Female since it knows an event move and probably was only obtainable as Female then

If I have to guess, then I'd say its Extreme Speed

@rare scaffold I can see that you're in love ... in love with Showdown. I'd really appreciate it if you could not use Showdown for #940357499297615902 and do it the proper way. Also cool would be if you can watch out a bit more and not request a swsh mon like Zygarde in #940357499297615902

@patent kiln Its not only the move Hypnosis which made it fail, like the bot told you, its also because Marshadow is shiny locked. What does shiny locked mean? Simple: No legal shiny for that pokemon

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan I just wanted to let you know that I saw the Rayquaza and Charizard request in #940357499297615902. Both pokemon are not in the game. Read the channel name of the bot and make sure it doesnt happen again that you request swsh pokemon in #940357499297615902

[nimble swan]

@scarlet turtle You know that Naviathan is a made up Pokemon by Smogon CAP and doesnt exist in the games right? 🤨

@proven shuttle Melmetal cant be Shiny and Gmax. You can either have a Gmax Melmetal or a shiny Melmetal but not a shiny Gmax Melmetal because the only way to get Gmax Melmetal was through an event where it wasnt able to be shiny

@spark rose Your Lugias Level is too low, it needs to be at least Level 70

[scarlet turtle]

Oh ok I’m sorry

I apologize please forgive me

[teal flicker]

Its not that bad of a mistake, people have done worse ones and repeated them xD

[scarlet turtle]

Oh ok

[proven shuttle]

ah i c

[scarlet turtle]

I didn’t know it was made up Pokémon so please forgive me

[teal flicker]

as I said people have done a lot worse, such as asking for arceus pokemon in swsh bot and vice-versa

[scarlet turtle]

Oh that’s why arceus is illegal

[teal flicker]

I meant pokemon from pla

[scarlet turtle]

Oh ok my bad

[teal flicker]

but also yeah arceus is still not in swsh so that's also a valid point :D

[scarlet turtle]

Oh ok

[nimble swan]

My student @frozen hinge,
Showdown is not allowed for #940357499297615902 so you're using the bot wrongly, please watch the guide or I have to shove up your butt a bonsly :)

[teal flicker]

Woke up and chose violence xD

[thick moss]

Does anyone have a Japanese ditto I can trade something trash for in bdsp

[wise shadow]

#910008611793698880

[cobalt flicker]

Do you guys know how to prevent hyper training stats? I just want a pokemon with best stats 6iv

[teal flicker]

some pokemon might just not have 6ivs encounters available, though most should automatically give full ivs

[cobalt flicker]

So there no way to prevent that?

[teal flicker]

Not that I know of

at least not without using PKHeX which takes practice

[cobalt flicker]

Well problem is i have ditto with 5 hyper training problem is that you cant breed as good.

As best stats

[teal flicker]

ah

Just use this one sec

[cobalt flicker]

Pkhex whats that?

[buoyant bolt]

If the bdsp gengar was moved where is it?

[teal flicker]

desktop app

[teal flicker]

Heres the PKHeX file for my 6iv ditto I caught

just download it, then put it in #swordshield-bot like this:

.trade (File)

Just put the file in place of the (File)

and it should generate exactly that ditto

[cobalt flicker]

Thx i will try thank you so much

O oops does this work with sword and shield?

[nimble swan]

You have to attach the file to the message

[cobalt flicker]

Yeah i will try in 5 min first time went wrong oops

[nimble swan]

Happens :)

@scarlet turtle You know, that Naviathan was no problem, but the swsh requests in #940357499297615902 are and there is no valid excuse/explanation to do that. If it happens again you'll most likely end up being bot banned

[scarlet turtle]

I’m sorry I didn’t know it was legend arceus I thought it was Pokémon sowrdshield

[nimble swan]

@ember shore And you shall stop using Showdown for #940357499297615902. Its not the proper format, watch the guide on how to use the bot properly or you'll end up being bot banned

[nimble swan]

Its all good, just make sure it doesnt happen again

[scarlet turtle]

I’ll make sure it won’t happen again sir

I apologize

[cobalt flicker]

It worked now i hope its 6iv best

[nimble swan]

If not, then I have a file too lol But ofc I hope its 6 IVs

[cobalt flicker]

Why do these files work?

Dont understand haha xd

It weird if you use showdown teambuilder everything will be hypertrained only with ditto

[nimble swan]

This file is from a program which is used to edit save files which you only get when you homebrew your nds/switch and this program is made by the same people that made the bots (Sysbots)

I think the Teambuilder option exists only because many people cant get used to PKHeX since it can be quite difficult to understand with all the things you can and have to pick

[cobalt flicker]

Yeah okay for me as example i cant acces these files stuff?

[nimble swan]

If you download PKHeX, then you can. Its a free program

[rotund swan]

Guys can you choose a level too on legends Gengar?

[nimble swan]

Yes, add a new line with Level: x (x = the level you want the pokemon to be)
For example
.trade Garchomp
Level: 69

[rotund swan]

Ahh Thank u!

[cobalt flicker]

Thanks for tips

[nimble swan]

Make sure your level is high enough if you request a Alpha or it will fail :)

[rotund swan]

Ok! I don’t like alphas but thanks xD

[nimble swan]

Perfect :)

[rotund swan]

:}

[cobalt flicker]

Thx guys it worked 6iv best stats ditto

[teal flicker]

nice!

also don't judge the name I suck at naming things :(

[cobalt flicker]

Haha no worries

[buoyant bolt]

Where is the gengar bdsp bot now?

[teal flicker]

#mini-news

it's been gone a while now

[buoyant bolt]

Oh ok

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan

If Kevs message doesnt work for you, it might be the best looking it up for your smart phone on the internet

@quick lichen Since thus was your first attempt ever Ima make sure and tell you. To make the bot work you need to put the command .trade in front of the Showdown paste so it looks like this
.trade Stormy (Dragapult) @ Master Ball
Ability: Cursed Body
Level: 90
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 92 HP / 116 Atk / 168 Def / 72 SpA / 60 Spe

• Draco Meteor
• Dragon Dance
• Dragon Darts
• Dragon Claw

[rotund swan]

Thanks! Sorry that I ask so many things 😅

[nimble swan]

Its all good, no worries. Thats why this channel exists. Its also better to ask than try plenty times and fail :)

[valid pike]

why does legends bot keep giving lvl 100s when i dont ask for lvl 100s ( i put in Lvl : whatever lvl here) but it always gives me a lvl 100 pokemon

[nimble swan]

Because Level 100 is the default if you dont request a pokemon with a different level. Read the message Im replying to if you want to know how to individualise the level @valid pike

[valid pike]

i did request a lvl

however it still gives me lvl 100 pokemon

[nimble swan]

Show me how your request looks, maybe theres a mistake

[valid pike]

.trade Porygon-Z
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
Lvl: 60

[nimble swan]

Needs to be Level: otherwise it will get ignored by the bot

[valid pike]

OHHHHH

thank you

[blissful depot]

How do I gen electrode on Arceus genn bot

[nimble swan]

.trade Electrode-Hisui

[blissful depot]

Thank you bro you legit helped me compmeate my Pokedex

[nimble swan]

You're welcome but did you know that there is a section on the server where people help you get the last missing pokemon of your dex? I mean now it doesnt matter anymore, just for the future :)

[blissful depot]

Is there one for sword and shield?

[nimble swan]

For swsh, bdsp and pla

Check out #937075162392719481 ;)

[blissful depot]

Thank I really need them

You helped me out alot today

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan Thats why your Meowth request didnt work

[silent hemlock]

Compmeate

[silent hemlock]

@wooden bay did you need the tutorial?

[wooden bay]

Yes

[silent hemlock]

SWSH or Legends?

[silent hemlock]

?guide

Top link = SWSH
Bottom = Legends

[quartz siren]

I want a level 50 Alpha Luxray, why is it giving me a level 100 one?

[silent hemlock]

Try at level 49 or 51

[quartz siren]

Ok

[silent hemlock]

The bot has an issue with level 50

[wooden bay]

Sword and shield

[nimble swan]

@quick garden First of all Keldeo is shint locked and secondly to get it in its Resolute Form it has to know the move Secret Sword so your request is di-da-double wrong

[nimble swan]

@coarse nimbus and @wooden bay The correct command is .trade and not trade.
So put the . in front of the word trade

@rich night At least your naming your Charizard Gigachad because you aint one since a Gigachad would have noticed that he's in the wrong channel as well as that there's a limit of EVs. Its 510 in total so you cant give everyone 252. Make sure you're not writing in the wrong channel again unless you want a permamnent and fancy new role named bot banned ;)

@balmy gulch As you may have seen your request of a shiny Kubfu didnt work. You might ask yourself why. Let me tell you why: Kubfu is shiny locked as well as a few others, means you cant get them as shiny at least not legally and the bot only trades legal pokemon. If you want to know which Pokemon are shiny locked, look in the pins of #swordshield-bot for the list where all are mentioned and if you dont want to know, then you still look at the list ;)

@sterile spire Melmetal cant be Shiny and Gmax. You can either have a Gmax Melmetal or a shiny Melmetal but not a shiny Gmax Melmetal because the only way to get Gmax Melmetal was through an event where it wasnt able to be shiny

@left dawn Because I have nothing to do right now Im going to annoy you with what was wrong with your request as well as tell you on how to prevent that. You requested funni Victini as shiny, which is a slightly illegal since it was never legally available as shiny. Makes sense, right? So if you want it, then as non shiny at least if you want to obtain them with the Sysbots in this server. Now to the prevent part. Look at the pins in #swordshield-bot, there is a list with all shiny locked pokemon :)

[rare scaffold]

How long does this bot ban last for ???

[nimble swan]

6262625155252928373681819748 attoseconds

@rotund swan and @strong bison Both your requested pokemon are not legally obtainable as shiny. Please do me and yourself the favour and look up list with all shinylocked pokemon in the pins of #swordshield-bot
Thanks

[rotund swan]

Ok

[strong bison]

k

[nimble swan]

@desert wing You have to request the pokemon species in the English language. You will automatically receive it as Japanese version with the Language: Japanese line you already added ;)

[desert wing]

perfect! thank you i'll do that on the next attempt :)

[nimble swan]

@plush monolith You cant trade fused Pokemon so you have to get both separately and fuse them ingame with the maguired item. On top of that Calyrex as well as the horsies are shiny locked, so no shiny for you from the bot ;-; Big sad, but I have a good day so Im telling you how to avoid requesting shiny locked pokemon. Theres a little list of all shiny locked pokemon in the pins of #swordshield-bot. You should look at it ;)

[nimble swan]

@rich night Of course it works, tell me in here what you're problem is and maybe I have a solution

[rich night]

Ok

[rich night]

What is it?

[nimble swan]

I see, you dont connect with the bot

[rich night]

?

[nimble swan]

Let me go through the classics. Do you have Nintendo Online and the internet activated ingame via Y-Comm?

[rich night]

I’m getting online on the 26th

[nimble swan]

When you search the button in the bottom left corner needs to look like this

[rich night]

Mines not blue

[nimble swan]

Alright, in that case everything is clear. Sadly, you need online to trade

[rich night]

Ok I can do the trades on the 26th

[nimble swan]

Thats why it doesnt work. When you search your in local mode and for global you need the Nintendo Online service

[rich night]

Can I add you

[nimble swan]

If you have it at that date, then its no problem :)

[nimble swan]

Where?

[rich night]

Oh ok

On discord

[nimble swan]

Sure :)

[rich night]

And on swsh on the 26th

[nimble swan]

If any problems occur with the bots or something doesnt work feel free to ask :)

[rich night]

Ok thx for the help

@tardy stratus It wont harm you if you rewatch the guide for swsh, its the first link of the message above this one here

[tardy stratus]

@nimble swan thanks for the help

[nimble swan]

You're welcome ^^

[minor tiger]

@winter smelt greninja isn’t in sword or shield at all therefore is currently unobtainable from the bots make sure to read the pins

[winter smelt]

Yeah I forgot 💀

Big sad 🥲

[minor tiger]

@leaden pelican you can but you need to actually request it if you don’t know how to there an example in the pins^

[leaden pelican]

ok sorry this is my first time here. sorry!

[minor tiger]

No worries

@mint hill cannot be shiny and know V-Create make sure to check the pins

[nimble swan]

It is haha I got it illegally lol wanted to troll Cy

[minor tiger]

Ah ok lol

Had someone before go on for an hr in my DM’s on how Eternatus isn’t shiny locked😂😅

[nimble swan]

I had someone yesterday thinking I was a bot haha

@stray jolt First of all, Greninja isnt in the game and also the damn name is way to long. I also dont like the KKK considering shiny Greninjas colour is black 🤨 It might just be me, but thats sus

[stray jolt]

alright man

[nimble swan]

Joe asked

[rotund swan]

Wait can you not get reigns of unity from generating?

[teal flicker]

It's a key item so no

you have to play through the story for it

[rotund swan]

Alright it was worth a shot

[rotund swan]

Where can I view a list of all commands to the bots? Like d whole.trade and what variables I can set?

[static blaze]

here

[teal flicker]

either that or

Check the Pins

[static blaze]

for legends arceus you can use pkhex for customization or it’s .trade eevee
shiny: yes
alpha: yes

.trade marowak-Alolan
Level: 5

• Will-O-Wisp
• Icy Wind
• False Swipe
• Fire Spin

[teal flicker]

also it should be marowak-alola if i’m not mistaken

[rancid cipher]

Okie dokie thanks

[teal flicker]

should be higher level either way

[rancid cipher]

Ok

[frozen forge]

How do you ask for the pokemon that you want to trade with the bot to be a lower levle

[exotic bridge]

How would I put decidueye into the Laura’s bot for legends? It’s not taking him :/

[rotund swan]

capitalize the H in hisui and Y in yes

[exotic bridge]

Where is the yes?

Sorry sounds stupid

[rotund swan]

like when you put alpha: yes

[exotic bridge]

Ahhh

Thank you so much

[rotund swan]

np

[rotund swan]

add a separate line like so:

.trade Zorua
Level: 35

[exotic bridge]

Worked instantly

You’re awesome man much appreciated

[drowsy prawn]

why when i have nintendo online and request a pokemon for swsh in the gengar chat correctly why does it not work?

[crude lynx]

Same thing happened to me

[heady saddle]

what happens if i added a bot to the server

[quartz siren]

If you are talking about the bidoof request, he is not in swsh

[heady saddle]

hello

what happen if i added a bot to the server

[quartz siren]

It would probably get removed or something idk

[crude lynx]

@quartz siren I tried it with zeraura and it wouldn’t work for some reason

[quartz siren]

Can you show me the request you used?

[crude lynx]

.trade Zeraora @ Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

• Acrobatics
• Plasma Fists
• Hone Claws
• Brick Break

I’m kinda confused 😅

[quartz siren]

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think you can get Zeraora at that level

[crude lynx]

Ohhh

Ok I’ll try at 100

[quartz siren]

If it doesn't work I'll check the moves and stuff

Oh it worked

[crude lynx]

It added me to the queue so so far so good

[quartz siren]

Have you been in the queue before?

[crude lynx]

Yeah

[quartz siren]

Alr

Just don't be too late lmao

[crude lynx]

Last time I tried It said it was waiting on me for the trade to start even tho I was ready with the code

[quartz siren]

Pretty sure it means that the bot has entered the code

[crude lynx]

Awesome it worked

Thanks

[quartz siren]

Np

[heady saddle]

how do we get xp in poketwo

[rotund swan]

just talk

[heady saddle]

helllo

how do i level up in pokeventures

[nimble swan]

@rough galleon You cant choose the ball which is Volcanion caught it, its an event only Pokemon and every event Volcanion was caught in a Cherish Ball
Also you dont have to type Shiny: no, just dont type the line

[rough galleon]

OK thank you and hy how do I make it we're I can read the Volcanion name in English

[nimble swan]

Do you mean changing the language of the pokemon? You can try a new line with Language: English, it has to be before the moveset. I think it should work in this case because there was a giveaway of Volcanion in America

[rough galleon]

OK soo just type when the pokemon thing and add language: English right

[nimble swan]

It should look like this

.trade Volcanion
Language: English
Level: 78

• Fire Blast
• Steam Eruption
• Earth Power
• Incinerate

Make sure Language and Englisch first letter is capitalized

[rough galleon]

Thank you sir

[nimble swan]

@chilly wind Melmetal cant be Shiny and Gmax. You can either have a Gmax Melmetal or a shiny Melmetal but not a shiny Gmax Melmetal because the only way to get Gmax Melmetal was through an event where it wasnt able to be shiny :)

[chilly wind]

Ohhhh thank you for your guidance master

[nimble swan]

@safe onyx Im sorry to tell you, but fused Pokemon cant be traded. Sadly you have to request both separately and fuse them ingame with the maguired item (you get those, except the reins of unity, from the merchant in Stow-on-side if you have the necessary Pokemon in your team)

[teal flicker]

Yeah no matter what you need the dlc for a Calyrex Ice or Calyrex Shadow

[stuck shuttle]

im trying to trade in legends arceus but the gengar bot keeps saying "oops i wasn't able to create a braviary from that set"

[teal flicker]

do not use pokemon showdown for legends arceuss

[stuck shuttle]

oh then what do i use

[teal flicker]

either PKHeX or type it out

[stuck shuttle]

oh

[teal flicker]

also I do not know whether evs are in use for pla

but idk

[stuck shuttle]

ohhh thanks

[teal flicker]

basically what most people do would be: Braviary-Hisui
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

I don’t have legends arceus tho so I’ve never used #940357499297615902 or #legends-arceus-bot

[stuck shuttle]

ok

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan Its only possible to have 510 EVs in total. So you cant give every stat 252 EVs :)

@balmy gulch You should might think of starting simping for the list with all shiny locked pokemon in the pins of #swordshield-bot because the same what applies for your shiny Kubfu request yesterday applies for your shiny Victini request today --> Not legally obtainable as shiny --> Not possible to trade with the bots

My student @vernal cairn,
you requested a pokemon from swsh in #940357499297615902 and thats not where its supposed to be, you should pay more attention or you'll earn the bot banned role after doing it repeatedly
Make sure it doesnt happen again, alright?

@half wind Showdown isnt allowed for #940357499297615902 because, as you have seen yourself, the request will fail most of the times. Watch Kevs guide on how to use #940357499297615902 properly. If you dont change the format you'll end up being bot banned

@spark rose I told you 26h ago that Lugia has to be at least level 70. You should change the level because, even if it happens rarely, also #swordshield-bot user will be bot banned if they dont use the bot properly repeatedly

@spark rose I see a very bright future for you, brighter than a quasar my friend. I told you twice that Lugia has to be Level 70 and you still messed it up. Congratulations on that

[tacit vault]

I’m trying to trade for calyrex shadow but ever time I type it it says this Pokémon content is blocked from trading

[solemn tusk]

You can't get fused pokemon traded to you, you'll need to get Calyrex and the horse seperate

[tacit vault]

Okay thanks

[rotund swan]

Hey

How i can bot trade?

[nimble swan]

?guide

Click on the first link for a video guide for swsh and on the second link for a vudeo guide for pla :)

[nimble swan]

@vestal forum Its probably the easiest to click on the first link of the message Im replying to. It will lead you to a video guide for swsh, later in the video there is a section for mobile users which explains how to use Pokemon Showdown, which is way easier than typing it manually since spaces and capitalization matters :)

@fathom flint Funny that you picked a Male Pikachu, because the Event Pikachus which had Extreme Speed as move in their moveset were always female lol

[vestal forum]

Ok thank you

[drowsy prawn]

no i am not talking about the bidoof request i am trying to get a shiny gyarados

[nimble swan]

Do you have Nintendo Online as well as the internet ingame activated via Y-Comm so the button in the bottom right corner looks exactly like in this picture?

[drowsy prawn]

no i did not thank you

[nimble swan]

You're welcome ^^

[rotund swan]

Hey so can you not name a shiny melmetal or can it not come in a special ball?

[nimble swan]

You can't get a shiny and Gmax Melmetal, also Gmax Melmetal cant have a specific ball and name since its from an event, its also shiny locked. I dont know about the regular shint Melmetal since its from PoGo I assume, so it should be possible to nickname -> no idea on the ball tho

[rotund swan]

Ok thanks

[nimble swan]

@rough fern What are you doing? I saw your attempt in #swordshield-bot without the command .trade but your logs said that you made it work plenty of times. Now, you're in the wrong channel (#940357499297615902) requesting the Buzzwole which isnt allowed. Go back to #swordshield-bot and put .trade in front of the Showdown paste. Alao make sure it doesnt happen again or you'll end up being bot banned sigh

[rotund swan]

One more thing when you generate a Calyrex and Spectrier which one of their moves and stats gets kept and what move gets replaced with astral barrage?

[nimble swan]

I think it should be Calyrex stats which stay, because its still named Calyrex after the fusion and idk which move gets replaced. I think no move gets and you have to forget one

[rotund swan]

Ah ok thanks

[nimble swan]

@late kelp Dont get me wrong pal, but not only have you used the wrong channel, you also use the command wrong (its .trade), also of that you requested at least two shiny locked pokemon, Gmax Melmetal and Eternatus-Eternamax, and on top of that I think you cant even get Eternatus-Eternamax because Eternatus cant be in its Eternamax form outside of the battle where you have to fight it

That wasnt wrong just a bit, that was super duper wrong

[rotund swan]

(Also can you name calyrex I don’t wanna have to wait 10 minutes if I get it wrong lol)

[nimble swan]

Since you can catch it on your own it should be possible, the only exception I know is Gen 8 events which cant be nicknamed but I can try it before you do it, so its safe

[rotund swan]

Ok thank you sorry for all the questions

[nimble swan]

Also you tried to request 6 pokemon at once. I dont think it will make the bot fail, but I know that youll, if it works, get only the first pokemon

[nimble swan]

It all good, no need to be sorry :) Give me a sec to try if its work

[nimble swan]

As expected it works fine lol

[rotund swan]

Awesome

[nimble swan]

@tidal barn Melmetal cant be Shiny and Gmax. You can either have a Gmax Melmetal or a shiny Melmetal but not a shiny Gmax Melmetal because the only way to get Gmax Melmetal was through an event where it wasnt able to be shiny. Also there are a couple more shiny locked pokemon, thats why I highly recommend you looking at the the list of all in the pins of #swordshield-bot

[rotund swan]

I was only wondering because when I’m in battles people have a extremely fast calyrex for some reason and I wasn’t sure if it was based off spectrier or not

[nimble swan]

I think the stats will fuse but I thought you mean the EV spread, that one should be from Calyrex

[rotund swan]

Alright cool

Thanks again

[late kelp]

Where is the trade bot?

[nimble swan]

For which game?

[late kelp]

Sword and shield

[nimble swan]

#swordshield-bot

@sand yoke You were obviously using the wrong channel, since Urshifu is definitely not in PLA. Make sure you read the channel name and be in the correct channel or you'll end up being bot banned

Also Urshifu is shinylocked

@brazen jewel Im sorry to tell you, but fused Pokemon cant be traded. Sadly you have to request both separately and fuse them ingame with the maguired item (you get those from the merchant in Stow-on-side if you have the necessary Pokemon in your team)

[nimble swan]

@vale galleon No Showdown format for #940357499297615902 or you'll end up being bot banned. You have deleted the message for whatever reason but I still saw it

@brave condor That is first of all the wrong chat. Read the channel name and make sure youre not requesting pokemon in the wrong bot channel or you get the bot banned role. On top of that, fused Pokemon cant be traded so request both separately and fuse them ingame on your own

[vale galleon]

Alr sorry!

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan Legendarys/Mythicals cant be Alpha, also they have to be in a separate line so it looks like this
.trade Garchomp
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

@lavish junco Zacian needs to be Level 100 to fits its event where it was shiny

[lavish junco]

ahh okay

[nimble swan]

I also recommend you giving it the Rusted Sword as held item since you only get one and that only if you play Pokemon Sword. Or you request it with a different pokemon, thats possible too

[lavish junco]

do i just add an @ rusted sword after it’s name to do that?

[nimble swan]

Exactly like that Zacian @ Rusted Sword
:)

[lavish junco]

okay thank you :)

[reef scroll]

O sorry

[nimble swan]

@late kelp Read the message Im replying to and you know what wrong with your request

My student @sage basalt
you requested a pokemon from swsh in #940357499297615902 and thats not where its supposed to be, you should pay more attention or you'll earn the bot banned role after doing it repeatedly

@rugged warren Maybe you should try a higher level, but bot level 7 or 8. Shiny Mew has to be at least Level 30. Maybe even more depending on the level which it learns certain moves

[drowsy prawn]

so when i type .trade Rayquaza @ Dragon Fang
Ability: Air Lock
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature

• Dragon Ascent
• Swords Dance
• Draco Meteor
• Iron Tail
  it says that this is for swsh and go to legends arceus. does anyone know why and how i can fix it

[dusky lily]

Is there a faq on how to request an held item on pkmn?

[rotund swan]

In legends how do I make it say original partner?

Like my name as the original partner

[stray jolt]

the gengar bot not answer my shiny pokemon... thats right?

[cobalt flicker]

Does it happen sometimes that youre not in the line anymore? Gengar bot btw

[marble herald]

OT: your in game name
SID: your ingame code
TID: also your ingame code
Your tid and sid must both be used to have your name as the OT and if you want to know how to check if check anyone of your Pokémon and it should have a id number

[stray jolt]

thanks

[rotund swan]

Does that work in legends tho?

[quartz siren]

I don't think it works in legends

[marble herald]

Yes, although the Pokémon code will not be yours, only your name will

The original partner will change

[rotund swan]

.trade Zoroark-Hisui
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
Sid: Ghoulzy
Tid: Ghoulzy
Ot: Ghoulzy

Like that?

[marble herald]

Tid and sid must be 6 digit numbers

[cobalt flicker]

?

[rotund swan]

?

[marble herald]

The id no. Must be yours

To have the OT as you

[marble herald]

Yes that

[rotund swan]

The trainer Id?

[marble herald]

Yup

[minor tiger]

Just do .trade Zoroark-Hisui
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes
Ot: Ghoulzy

[rotund swan]

For both Sid and Tid?

[minor tiger]

You don’t need to do Sid and Tid

[marble herald]

I guess only OT works then I didn’t know that

[minor tiger]

There both optional

[marble herald]

Ahh ok

[rotund swan]

Ot didnt work

I tried already

[minor tiger]

Basically everything but .trade and the name of the Pokémon are required

[minor tiger]

Show me what u sent into the bot

[rotund swan]

.trade Golbat
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
Ot: Ghoulzy

[minor tiger]

Ok give me a sec

And I’ll do a trade myself and see if it works

[quartz siren]

did you capitalize the 't' on OT

[rotund swan]

I don't remember

I think so

[quartz siren]

Ok cus it has to be OT

[rotund swan]

@minor tiger did it work for you?

[minor tiger]

Nope neither way worked

[rotund swan]

Oh well

[quartz siren]

OT worked when I did it 🤔

I'll try your one

???

[minor tiger]

Check the Pokémon

[quartz siren]

Oh

[minor tiger]

The ot doesn’t show up

It trades just fine lol

[quartz siren]

Weird

Ooh can't u do it using PKHeX

[minor tiger]

You can but u can also do it on mobile (unless it’s changed)

@unique cairn sorry for ping but had to ask a question by any chance did you change the ot settings for the bots?😅

I tried with Ot and OT

[nimble swan]

You can pick a held item in Pokemon Showdown or you put manually @ held item behind the pokemon species so it looks like this
.trade Garchomp @ Master Ball
Capitalization matters

[dusky lily]

Hmm.. I tried it I am trying again.. let me see if it works

[plush ember]

Does anyone know any good spoofers for ios

[hollow hearth]

um ive been waiting in a bot trade for 2 hours now and i still havent gotten my pokemon ive checked the bot messege and it does not say that the trade was cancelled so idk what to do

ok it did have the offline thing on its user thanks

[minor tiger]

Ah kk ty for checking

[nimble swan]

@scarlet grail Explain to me why you are always deleting your wrong requests instead of asking what you have done wrong?

[scarlet grail]

Just asked it in PLA chat

How do I ask for hisuian zoroark

[nimble swan]

Dont ask in the chat, ask in here thats why this channel exist. You know, deleting them makes it seem like your trying to hide something and can cause more problems. Also its Zoroark-Hisui same applies for every other hisuian variant (-Hisui) ;)

[scarlet grail]

Alright thx

[spice fjord]

Does anyone have a spiritomb need it for arceus

[static blaze]

you could use #940357499297615902 or #936098106100047882

[still saddle]

Thank you :) I couldn’t tell where the question should really goooooo

[grim forge]

[obtuse bluff]

Do you guys know whats going on with the swsh ghost

gengar

[exotic oracle]

So I know how to get my TID but I do not know how to get SID any info would be greatly appreciated 🙂

[arctic gust]

why it cancel my trades

?

[exotic oracle]

Suspicious activity?

It happens to me sometimes messing with ivs

[arctic gust]

ok

thx @exotic oracle

[tired peak]

youd have to look at it in pkhex lol

[exotic oracle]

Thanks I guess, anything to add to that?

[tired peak]

well i uh

i guess i sorta just answered you without knowing the situation

are you referring to finding your SID in like a pokemon game like swsh or something

[exotic oracle]

Swsh sid

There was a time swsh lap dm you a pk8 file of what you traded it doesn't pop anymore

Okay is there any other way I can receive my sid? Not at a computer atm

[nimble swan]

@steel estuary Well, well, well, seems like you wasnt fast enough with deleting the message tz tz tz Your mistake is pretty simple, the bot told you Zacians lowest level can only be 20 and thats right, but that doesnt apply when you add Shiny: Yes, because then it has to fit its event from the giveaway which is Level 100

[steel estuary]

thank you, master oogway

[cyan moth]

hello guys how i do a fast level up to complete pokedex, there are any methods?

I have to meet Arceus but I need to meet all the pokemon

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan Its Moltres-Galar

[rotund swan]

Ohhh okay thx

[nimble swan]

This channel is for server related questions only. Still, the easiest way to find an answer to your question is probably YouTube

@meager moth What in gods name made you think that its a good idea to request a Level 1 Aegislash? I mean, you messed the message up anyways, but this Level isnt possible. How should it be???

[nimble swan]

@wild peak Level 1 huh? Does that make sense to you? What a dumb questions from my side, it has to otherwise you wouldnt have tried to request it. Let me tell you, it needs a higher level I also know which Level. Hint: Its 45

@tranquil flame Do yourself the favor and use validate on Showdown, you somehow cant manage to make a legal pokemon without. My format recommendation is [Gen 8 SWSH] Anything Goes

?validate

[meager roost]

guys are the pokemon from the swsh gengar bot banable

[nimble swan]

You wont get vanned for using them offline as well as online and also notnif you transfer them to home and maybe from there to other games :)

[meager roost]

ohh thank ya sm

[upbeat gust]

How do you ask for a regional varient in the bots?

[tranquil flame]

@nimble swan I'm trying to create a Galarian Articuno. This is what the code looks like:

.trade Articuno (Articuno-Galar) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Competitive
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 162 Atk / 120 SpD / 161 Spe / HP 165 / Def 106
Timid Nature

• Freezing Glare
• Hurricane
• Shadow Ball
• Calm Mind

Can someone say what's wrong?

Never mind. Just figured out its shiny locked.

[torpid galleon]

.trade Zeraora
Shiny: Yes

[ruby relic]

What?? I’m pretty sure it can be shiny though

[ruby relic]

#swordshield-bot

Lemme check it rq

[tranquil flame]

alr

[ruby relic]

Pretty sure it’s the EVs

You can only have 510 per Pokémon for EVs

[tranquil flame]

Must of counted wrong. Thank you.

[ruby relic]

And realistically, you shouldn’t need all that, since some parts of articuno’s move wouldn’t need a certain section.

Also Articuno Galar isn’t shiny locked, so feel free to re add it back

[tranquil flame]

okay, just waiting for my cool down to expire. Thank you for the help.

[ruby relic]

All Gucci, lemme know if you need further assistance!

[tranquil flame]

@unique cairn thank you, ill try that

[upbeat gust]

how do I ask for a ability?

[ruby relic]

Check pins, sorry busy rn

[upbeat gust]

Where are the pinned

[harsh wasp]

It took two hours to get one train is it supposed to do that

It took two hours to get one trade is it supposed to do that

[nimble swan]

The bot mentioned your trade with the Garchomp at 20.35 my time (8.35pm) and now, when you wrote that it was 21.00 my time (9pm). So first of all, I dont see the two hours that you mentioned and stop sending the questions twice

[ivory rapids]

Hi sorry, i was trying to put in my next trade message but when i do my screen did a shake?

Oh nevermind it worked but still curious on why my screen did a shake when i try to put it in?

Ohhh okay, now i see it thank you hehe

[tacit jetty]

are you able to add moves to the pokémon you want traded

[teal flicker]

yes

[unborn veldt]

how do you use the swsh gengar bot?

[rocky igloo]

do you need switch online?

[unborn veldt]

I assume so since its going to trade you the pokemon

[rocky igloo]

oof

Needa re buy that then

[unborn veldt]

I just dont know how to use the bot

[rocky igloo]

.trade (pokemon) @ (held item)

[unborn veldt]

THANK YOU SM💕💕💕

[rocky igloo]

np

[teal flicker]

You can also customize a whole lot more

[unborn veldt]

my trade cancelled and im not sure why

[teal flicker]

What was the error?

[unborn veldt]

I left the trade after waiting for the bot to re-enter it

[teal flicker]

re-enter it?

[unborn veldt]

and it canceled the trade

[teal flicker]

that makes no sense at all

[unborn veldt]

im new to the whole bot thing

should I just re-try it?

[teal flicker]

but what happened

I don't understand

[unborn veldt]

i was in the trade for 15 minutes waiting for the bot to trade and nothing happened so I left and then the bot dm’ed me saying something went wrong

[teal flicker]

Was the nickname correct?

[unborn veldt]

i never saw which trader it was

[teal flicker]

What error was given

[unborn veldt]

what partner name should it be?

[teal flicker]

not sure about it, but it should be something like dsc.gg/bdsp or similar

[unborn veldt]

I can just re-enter it its fine

[teal flicker]

yeah just try that

[unborn veldt]

ok thank you

[rotund swan]

My trade was cancelled, it says suspicious activity, why?

[elder nova]

Traded for a Alpha Shiny Oshawott and got a regular one

How do i get the shiny variant?

[silent hemlock]

.trade Oshawott
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes

[split copper]

does anyone knows what does this means

[minor tiger]

Check the pins it’s blocked because it’s a fusion form and you cannot trade fusion forms in game or from the bots

[split copper]

then how do i get calyrex shadow

in pokemon shield

[minor tiger]

Get both Pokémon separately and then get the reins of unity and fuse them in game
