questions

[nimble swan]

Thanks for letting me know :)

@rotund swan Sadly you cant trade fused pokemon. You need to request them separately and fuse them ingame :)

If you need help with anything, just let me know :)

[thorny sparrow]

Will a ditto be a english ditto if I trade

[nimble swan]

Yes, but you can actually change the region if you want to. Just add a line with Language:
For example:
.trade Garchomp
Language: Japanese

@rotund swan All Legendarys/Mythicals are shinylocked in PLA. The only way to get then is with transferring them from home

Also its not recommended using Showdown for the PLA bots since it will most likely fail due to the amount of missing moves and if you pick moves then you might end up with this error message "It took too long to generate"

I tried it a couple times, you can still use it but its better to not pick moves. At the end tho, it also doesnt make a big difference typing the following by yourself
.trade Magenzone
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes

If something doesn't work just let me know :)

[lean quartz]

Giranita untradeable?

[silent hemlock]

In what form?

Oh wait

Haha

[lean quartz]

just .trade giranita in pla

[silent hemlock]

Yeah that won’t work

It’s spelt Giratina

[lean quartz]

ohhhhhh

[silent hemlock]

That’ll sort you out!

[lean quartz]

damn i live my life wrong the whole time

[rotund swan]

Does anyone know why I’m not receiving the pokemon that I want to trade 😃

[silent hemlock]

?slow

@rotund swan what Pokémon?

You haven’t requested anything in like 4 hours

[nimble swan]

.

.

[rotund swan]

Last time I did it it was for a level 40 grookey and I’ve tried a couple times for it and the gengar bot always said he never found a trainer

[nimble swan]

Read the two messages Im replying to or at least the second one. I answered it about an hour ago :)

[silent hemlock]

Reading isn’t your strong point huh?

[rotund swan]

MK ILL TRY TO FIND IT

[silent hemlock]

To find what? What are you talking about?

[nimble swan]

Maybe the messages

[rotund swan]

Yea teh messages

[nimble swan]

You just have to clikc on the message where I am replying to them

[rotund swan]

I FOUND THEM

TYYYYYY

[nimble swan]

?guide

@nocturne marten The message above this one leads you to a video guide on how to use the bots properly. First link is for swsh and second one is for pla

@green tartan All Legends/Mythicals are shiny locked in PLA also dont use Showdown to get Pokemon in PLA or you'll most likely end up being bot banned

[nimble swan]

@nocturne marten You need to add .trade in front of the Showdown paste, so it looks like this

.trade Keldeo @ TR58
Ability: Justified
Level: 70

• Aqua Tail
• Last Resort
• Bubble Beam
• Aura Sphere

You can copy it from here. I also removed the shiny because Keldeo is shiny locked in Swsh and cant get genned with the bot. Also make sure not to be in the wrong bot again, you'll get bot banned if it happens too often

[rotund swan]

It didn’t work so it’s probably my internet connection 🥲

[nimble swan]

Does it looks like this when you search?

[rotund swan]

Yes

[nimble swan]

Are you able to use other online functions like raids, suprise trades or online stuff from other games?

[rotund swan]

Haven’t tried imma do it rn

Yes battles work

And the other stuff too

[nimble swan]

Have you tried taking your switch and maybe getting closer to the wifi router to get a better signal?

[rotund swan]

yes still hasn’t worked I usually play where it works best

[nimble swan]

Alright, then Im clueless. Sorry :|

[rotund swan]

ITS OKAY

[modest moon]

We are over working the poor bot, lapras needs a break lol

[opaque arch]

i have the patreon how does this work

with the lapras bot and home accounts

[rotund swan]

Link patreon

[mystic shard]

Step 1: Log in to your Patreon account, and head to the Apps tab of your Profile settings page.
Step 2: Click on the Connect button next to the Discord app.
Step 3: Now that your Patreon and Discord accounts are communicating, our integration will assign you the role tied to your Tier!

[rotund swan]

Follow those steps, then you’ll have access to all lapras bots. If you bought tier2/3 then you’ll see a channel called “in-out” and that will have pokemon home info in the pins.

[opaque arch]

ok thanks

[nimble swan]

@unique cairn #763131979565629510 is down, in case you didnt know. [Nvm]

@echo plover You cant trade fused pokemon. Need to get both separately and fuse them ingame with the required item

@lone saddle Zarude is shiny locked. So no rare colour monke

@agile garnet
.trade Wartortle (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Torrent
Level: 20
EVs: 184 HP / 72 Atk / 56 Def / 44 SpA / 152 Spe
Jolly Nature

• Bite
• Water Pulse
• Rapid Spin
• Water Gun

This is how it should look like, if you want just copy it frome here.

[agile garnet]

thank you

[echo plover]

Wasn’t even seprated

[nimble swan]

@limber olive You forgot to add the command .trade in front of it
This is how its supposed to look

.trade Zacian @ Rusted Sword
Ability: Intrepid Sword
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature

• Iron Head
• Close Combat
• Play Rough
• Protect

I also change Zacian to its not Crowned form, because Crowned cant be traded simce this form is only in battle available with the rusted sword. As well as changed Behemoth Blade with Iron Head. Iron Head will become Behemoth Blade when you're in battle

[opaque arch]

i cant get the lapras bot to trade me

[nimble swan]

The problem is that Calyrex, Glastrier and Spectrier are shiny locked. So you cant obtain them legally as shiny. There's a list with all shiny locked pokemon in the pins of #swordshield-bot

[limber olive]

@nimble swan thanks for saying that

[nimble swan]

Do you mean you get the error message "Trainer not found"?

[opaque arch]

yeah and i had the code and everything

[nimble swan]

I assume you have Nintendo Online, Switch is connected to wifi and ingame internet is activated via ycom?

[opaque arch]

i dont think that ingame internet was on

thanks

[nimble swan]

Make sure it looks like this when you're searching ^^

[nimble swan]

@outer tundra You forgot the command .trade
Here so you can just copy it

.trade Regice
Ability: Ice Body
Shiny: Yes

• Ancient Power
• Aurora Veil
• Avalanche
• Blizzard

[outer tundra]

ooo

Ty!

[nimble swan]

@topaz bronze I think numbers arent possible in nicknames in Pokemon, maybe try it without 2.0

@bitter monolith Dont use Pokemon Showdown for #940357499297615902 or you'll end up getting bot banned

[bitter monolith]

What can I use

To make Pokémon

[nimble swan]

You can use PKHeX, thats the best, but its more effort and probably complicated in the beginning, you can write the lines like following yourself
.trade Garchomp
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes
Level: 89
OT: Duff
And so on or you use the .convert option where you type like
.convert Garchomp
Shiny: Yes
And it will generate a legal file which you can send in the bot with .trade in the textbox

[bitter monolith]

@nimble swan

Thx

[nimble swan]

Thanks Ed

[nimble swan]

@covert crane #swordshield-bot seems to be down. Can you lock the channel, please?

[nimble swan]

@native zinc Dont use Pokemon Showdown to try to get pokemon in #940357499297615902. If you keep on using it, you'll probably end up getting bot banned

@open locust @fervent depot Stop using #940357499297615902 with request for swsh and wait until #swordshield-bot is online again

[open locust]

ight didnt know sorry

[nimble swan]

@rich trench Stop using #940357499297615902 for swsh requests or you'll end up getting bot banned

[rich trench]

Ok

[dusky nimbus]

Why cant I use the Pokémon trader

[nimble swan]

#swordshield-bot is down

[rotund swan]

How come it not working?

[dusky nimbus]

It says done reading use questions

[round sorrel]

[nimble swan]

I dont know man, I dont own the bot

[round sorrel]

ok

[open locust]

i cant use lpras too

(the sword and shield one)

[nimble swan]

@autumn sundial You forgot to put .trade in front of the Showdown paste
This is how it should look

.trade Aegislash (M)
Ability: Stance Change
Level: 15
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 144 HP / 252 Atk / 64 SpA / 36 SpD

• Air Slash
• Psycho Cut
• Destiny Bond
• Swords Dance

You can copy it here and then paste it in #763131979565629510

Nvm you figured out

[nimble swan]

The Lapras bots are exclusive for Patreon-Subscriber, Premium- or YouTube-Member

[open locust]

ah ok

[merry aurora]

any idea when gangar will be back up?

[nimble swan]

When the owner has time to fix it, so no

[pearl jay]

it says pa8 files cant be accepted

in legends

[cursive cipher]

Is this channel only for questions related to the server?

[nimble swan]

Yes it is

[cursive cipher]

So where I can ask a question not related?

[nimble swan]

Its because your file is illegal. Have you tried to getting a shiny Arceus?

[nimble swan]

Depends on the topic. What is the question about?

[cursive cipher]

Did someone has modded switch and pkhex cuz I need help with my magearna

[nimble swan]

@boreal cobalt No Showdown for #940357499297615902 or you'll get bot banned

[hybrid vessel]

Why can’t I use #swordshield-bot

[nimble swan]

#951270958830866482 would probably the best place for a question like that ... I guess. Im unsure tho

[cursive cipher]

K thanks

[nimble swan]

#swordshield-bot is down

@urban flax Sadly there is no bot for the Pokemon Let's Go games

[urban flax]

ah okay, no problem thx you for the answer 😺 !

[merry aurora]

ok tysm

[thorny venture]

Why can’t I use #swordshield-bot

[merry aurora]

its down

[thorny venture]

k

[rotund swan]

@rotund swan Please stop using pokemon showdown for #940357499297615902. That is not the correct format to request pokemon

ohhh

mb

[thorny venture]

ok

[nimble swan]

@terse dagger Enamorus is shiny locked

[terse dagger]

ok

[nimble swan]

@south path Please stop using pokemon showdown for #940357499297615902. That is not the correct format to request pokemon

Wait ... thats a swsh request. Stop requesting pokemon from swsh in #940357499297615902

[topaz musk]

What do I input into gengar to get shiny galarian Zapdos?

[nimble swan]

.trade Zapdos-Galar
Shiny: Yes

I added it in case its not as obvious as I think it is

[topaz musk]

Thank you

[nimble swan]

@twin grotto The move earthquake isnt in PLA also please stop using Showdown as a format of requesting Pokemon in #940357499297615902

@round dawn Please stop using pokemon showdown for #940357499297615902. That is not the correct format to request pokemon

[round dawn]

What

That was an accident

[nimble swan]

Dont mind the second part

It was a copy paste from a message before where I accidentally pinged the wrong person

[round dawn]

Haven’t used it in a while

[nimble swan]

A couple mins ago

Its just about the Showdown part

[round dawn]

Can I still use

[nimble swan]

Not if you dont wanna end up being bot banned

[round dawn]

That was the last request I was gonna make

[nimble swan]

I mean, it shouldnt be a problen if you pick no moves tho

[round dawn]

Also how do I make it alpha

[static blaze]

you can have your shiny zorua just don’t add the evs nature moves etc

[round dawn]

K

So all I gotta do is do all the stuff like zoaroark hisui shiny yes alphe#a yes and nothing else

[nimble swan]

.trade Zoroark-Hisui
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes

Exactly like that

[round dawn]

K

[static blaze]

you’re welcome i guess lol

thanks duff for being killer w the help

[round dawn]

Wait so if he didnt make the alpha update I will get bot banned

Because it will be my last mistake?

[nimble swan]

@left blade @glossy quartz Same is for you. Please dont use Pokemon Showdown for requesting Pokemon in #940357499297615902. It will most likely fail, as you experienced and on top of that you'll end up getting bot banned

[nimble swan]

No no no

[round dawn]

K

[nimble swan]

The request will work, but when its traded to you ot might not be Alpha

[round dawn]

Thank you

[nimble swan]

(Sorry forgot to turn of the ping)

[glossy quartz]

can someone explain to me how to do it from the phone

[nimble swan]

@glossy quartz Like this (Im talking about the message im replying to)

[static blaze]

the same way you’d do it from pc. just use your return key (next to space) to break the lines

[glossy quartz]

the first time i try this i have no idea how it works

[left blade]

Thank you so much for that! Kept trying blindly ❤️

[static blaze]

?guide

you can watch this video for some info

[nimble swan]

Just do

.trade Garchomp
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes

If you dont want it to be Alpha, dont write the line with Alpha, same applies for Shiny

[glossy quartz]

Thank

[nimble swan]

Legendarys/Mythicals cant be shiny or Alpha tho

@opaque arch You cant trade fused Pokemon. You need to get them separately and fuse them ingame. Sadly you deleted the message but if they were shiny then I have to tell you that Calyrex as well as the horses are shiny locked

@wicked sparrow Click on the message Im replying to. There are two links, the first one is for a video guide for swsh. The second one for PLA. You should watch the first one if you want to use #swordshield-bot

Since I saw it right now. Stop requesting Pokemon from swsh in #940357499297615902 or you'll get bot banned

[nimble swan]

@glossy quartz

[glossy quartz]

Sorry

[nimble swan]

Its all good👌

Here we go ...

[south path]

so i got banned because i didn't know that if i kept requesting i would get banned

is there a way to be unbanned?

[nimble swan]

I pinged you in the channel and told you what you were doing wrong. You ignored that, thats why you got bot banned. No, there's no way to get unbanned

[opaque arch]

how do you fuse them

caylerex and spectrier

[nimble swan]

When you played the story of the crown tundra dlc you'll obtain an item called Reins of Unity. This is the item you need to fuse them. Its like the thing for Kyurem, because you can only have one fused Calyrex at a time

[opaque arch]

oh ok

i though i had done something wrong😅

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan Please stop using Showdown for #940357499297615902. It will most likely fail and you'll end up getting bot banned

[round dawn]

And to fuse other Pokémon like lunala/sogaleo and necrozma or kyurem and reshiram/ zecrom go to stow on side and talk to one of the two salesman I forgot which one with the two Pokémon you wanna fuse and he will give you the item you can also get special items like the sugared cube and genesect drives

[modest moon]

So for #legends-arceus-bot we don’t get to pick the nature?

[round dawn]

Not sugared cube zygarde

[nimble swan]

You can actually

[modest moon]

Nice, now I can get my shiny espeon!!! How do I go about doing that?

[round dawn]

Cube

[pearl jay]

can yo guys do mystery gifts

[nimble swan]

It loks like this as an example

.trade Garchomp
Adamant Nature

Just change that Adamant to whatever Nature you want

[modest moon]

Figured but didn’t wanna mess up, thank you once again for answering my questions. I appreciate it

[round dawn]

But espeon not far home

Garchomp

[nimble swan]

Im unsure what you mean with that. Can you further explain that question, please?

[modest moon]

It’s an example

[round dawn]

I know

[modest moon]

Ok lol just checking

[round dawn]

Spipy Pokémon company makes mystery gifts not them

[pearl jay]

mystery gifts are another form of trading but when you do mystery gifts you can get special event pokemon that have special moves ivs and items

[nimble swan]

I know what mystery gifts are but thanks for the explanation. I just wanst sure if you want to generate old event pokemon. Its possible, Im not entirely sure but I remembered that somewhere it was possible to get PKHeX files of old Pokemon events. You could download them and attach them to the message in the trade channels

[pearl jay]

ok i will try that

[nimble swan]

@hearty creek Enamorus as well as every other Legendary/Mythical Pokemon in PLA is shiny locked means you cant get the ugly turtle as well as the others in shiny

[pearl jay]

surprisingly it worked but it doesnt give you the items

[nimble swan]

Luckily thats just a little problem. At least I think it is :)

[pearl jay]

yeah i just so badly miss the mega evolutions

[nimble swan]

@frail comet This error message means that the requested pokemon isnt available as shiny. To prevent error messages like this you can use the vidate function on Pokemon Showdown. It will also tell you nearly everything else what its illegal

?validate

For swsh I rexommend the format [Gen 8 SWSH] Anything Goes

[modest moon]

With the legends bot, does the Pokémon come in at lvl 100 with max ivs or do we need to lvl it and raise the ivs?

[modest moon]

Nvm I found out on my own 🙂

[topaz musk]

Is it possible to get charizard in cherish ball from old 3ds event using bot?

[opaque arch]

what showdown setting do i need for egends arcues

[static blaze]

none

[opaque arch]

i mean like gen 8 ubers or what

[rotund swan]

you use pkhex, not showdown

[opaque arch]

ok thanks👍

[soft scroll]

How do I get a gmax

From Gengar

[rotund swan]

Add -Gmax after the pokemon

example:

.trade Lapras-Gmax

[soft scroll]

Would this work
.trade raid shadow(Gengar-gmax)
Shiny: yes

[rotund swan]

capitalization matters

.trade raid shadow (Gengar-Gmax)
Shiny: Yes

[autumn sundial]

i can only get cyndaquil from arceus bot help me please

[rotund swan]

Well you’re using showdown teambuilder for legends arceus which you aren’t supposed to

[autumn sundial]

what do i use

[rotund swan]

Pkhex

[autumn sundial]

ok thank you

[lean drift]

I need help with pla bot, i so the right things but i need to make it shiny and alpha and it wont work.

i.

im on mobile though

[low nexus]

Need help anyone?

[lean drift]

yes

[round dawn]

Why won’t it let me get a shiny zacian

Can somebody show me what I need to type

[rotund swan]

?validate

do this in showdown ^

[rotund swan]

.trade Gliscor
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes

you hit the “return” key on your keyboard. i’m on mobile

[round dawn]

K

[rotund swan]

@round dawn Are you using Gen 8 Ubers

for the format

[round dawn]

It says gen 8 anything goes

And when it didn’t work it said Exhausted 3/5 encounters

[rotund swan]

It has to be set on Ubers

then build your zacian again and validate it

[round dawn]

K

It says illegal

[rotund swan]

it should say why

[rotund swan]

and i think i’m wrong on this bc mecha said anything goes is best for sword/shield but idk

either way it should say why it’s illegal

[round dawn]

Yea

It says illegal

So that means I can’t get it right

[rotund swan]

you can… does it say what is wrong with it

it’s something in your build

since it’s an event mon, there’s not much leniency

[round dawn]

Exhausted 3/5 encounters

[rotund swan]

In showdown bro

[round dawn]

Of

Sword City (Zacian)
Ability: Intrepid Sword
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

• Close Combat

So what do I do

[covert crane]

1. Shiny Zacian can't be nicknamed
2. Zacian is Banned from Ubers on showdown due to its base Attack plus Ability so it has to be checked with Anything Goes

[round dawn]

So I just have to get rid of the nickname

[covert crane]

yes

[round dawn]

K

[rotund swan]

thanks i’m just dumb

[covert crane]

yw

[round dawn]

Tytyty

I was tryna get zacian for me and zamazenta for my friend

[lyric radish]

will a new gengar bot be coming to scarlet and violet?

[covert crane]

That is unknown at the time, but whether there will be one or not depends on if the sysbot developers choose to continue making the bot work for future games

[scenic fulcrum]

What is the website

To get the Pokémon

The Pokémon that I get when I trade with the bot

Do u know

?

Ok thanks

[nimble swan]

@stoic sail Stop asking for Mews. If you want one, get it yourself with the bot or write a message in #910008611793698880 or #swsh-trades, depending on the game you want it. Watch the proper format of the messages in the trade channels or it will get deleted

?guide

First link is the video guide for swsh

[nimble swan]

@formal ledge Yes, you can
Add the line Language: before the movest. Should look like this in an example

.trade Garchomp
Language: Japanese

[formal ledge]

How did you know what I was ab to say lol

[nimble swan]

Magic (I simply looked in #929925209060962324 haha)

[formal ledge]

Anyways ty lol

Nice pfp btw

[nimble swan]

Thank you

[calm quiver]

WHY DOES GENGAR BOT NOT WORK

Please and thank you

[nimble swan]

FIrst of all, stop writing in caps. Second, its pretty simple why it doesnt work. You're requesting ilegal Pokemon. Mega Evolutions doesnt exist in the game since ORAS and even IF they would you cant get the Mega-Evo outisde of the battle. But that doesnt matter since you better forget the whole idea of getting a Mega-Evo Pokemon in a Pokemon Switch game . To make sure that you dont request an illegal pokemon, use the validate function on Showdown and set the form to ---> [Gen 8 SWSH] Anything Goes <---

?validate

[calm quiver]

Hey the second pokemon i wanted was a shiny alcremie

[nimble swan]

Yikes, bot is down. Ill be right back with a screenshot where to find it

[nimble swan]

Did you delete the request? I can only see the Mega Gardevoir in your logs

[calm quiver]

Oh no

[nimble swan]

There you go. The bot answered with the explanation to validate

[calm quiver]

Was it deleted

It would take too long too find and delete my old requests

[nimble swan]

Idk, well it doesnt matter. Use validate on Showdown with the format [Gen 8 SWSH] Anything Goes and it will show you everything thats illegal. The only thing it doesnt display is nicknamed event pokemon which isnt possible and maybe Pokemon with numbers and other stuff that cant be in the nickname in the game but Im not sure about the last one

[calm quiver]

Thank ya

[nimble swan]

... this is why the message is deleted. The bot tried to trade you the Acremie

[calm quiver]

Yeah i tried 3 times and it never worked

[nimble swan]

But why didnt you say that this is your problem? You said, it doesnt work, but not what exactly, so I looked at your logs to see the problem and the only thing I saw were illegal pokemon

[nimble swan]

Tell me, what was the error message that the gengar bot sent you in dms?

[calm quiver]

Couldn't find trade partner or trainer

[nimble swan]

?slow

[calm quiver]

I had the code ready on my switch

[nimble swan]

give the bot a second to show the message

[nimble swan]

Nvm, Im typing it. DId you make sure to have Nintendo Online, your switch is connected to wifi as well as activated the internet ingame via ycom?

[calm quiver]

Yeah

I got Nintendo online and the best wifi i can buy

It says this is valid

[nimble swan]

Alright, then we go with some tips. Make sure to stand in Pokemon Center when you search for the trade as well as have a good wifi signal. It might also help if you start searching first when it says that its initializing. So put in the code but start searching first when the bot sends you the message about the initializing

[calm quiver]

Alright one sec

[nimble swan]

I know, if it wasnt then the bot wouldnt have tried trading with you. I already explained why I told you about showdown, its because you didnt precisley said your problem and I ASSUMED that youre problem might be trying to get an illegal pokemon

[calm quiver]

Well i actually did try that the first time

[nimble swan]

i know, I know. I have seen your logs and the messages you sent on the server. Thats why I assumed the Mega-Gardevoir is the problem

But it doesnt matter anymore, we know what the actual problem is right now

[calm quiver]

So this time it should work ?

Also your about me worries me

[nimble swan]

I hope so

[calm quiver]

Ok i set the code

It didn't work

[nimble swan]

Does it looks like this when youre searching?

[calm quiver]

Yeah

[nimble swan]

Blue button, white Y

[calm quiver]

Wait

Idk

How do i get blue button

[nimble swan]

Oh lord, you didnt activate internet ingame. Press y and then the + button haha You were always in local mode

[calm quiver]

I hate my life

So uh it wont work if i try getting mega Gardevoir right ?

[nimble swan]

Yes, it wont work. If you want to be sure what works and what not, validate is still a good way to find out yourself :)

[calm quiver]

Damn

Shiny Gardevoir just looks so basic

[calm quiver]

Can the cooldown be nerfed please

[nimble swan]

@fathom osprey The reason why you can't use the bots is because you're bibbidy babbidy bot banned :)

[calm quiver]

I dont like waiting 10 minutes more because i made a spelling mistake

Please remove my cooldown

[fathom osprey]

wth what did i do?

[nimble swan]

Nobody can remove your cooldown and the cooldown in general wont be removed, because to many messages may make it crash

[calm quiver]

Okay but like does it really got too be 10 minutes

[nimble swan]

Give me a second to look it up

[calm quiver]

That's ridiculous

[fathom osprey]

is there a way i can get unbanned

[calm quiver]

You could probably simp too the owner

How does one even get bot banned lmao

[nimble swan]

You have requested a pokemon from swsh in #940357499297615902. Tho I admit I only saw you doing it once without getting a warning. Might try it later when the owner is online

[empty wasp]

how do i format my trades for the legends bot? im pretty sure its different to the showdown format but im unsure.

[calm quiver]

Whats swsh

[ruby relic]

Respected well deserved

[fathom osprey]

thanks cause i didnt even know there was a legends arceus bot so i thought it was the right one

[ruby relic]

Sword and shield

[nimble swan]

Normally its 5min at this time of the day, at least from what I saw. Maybe it has been forgotten to change it. I mean, I cant change it and the one who can change it isnt online sk it is what it is

[nimble swan]

Thank you

[calm quiver]

I have legends but i got bored of it after 5 minutes

[ruby relic]

Well to be fair, you’re just using the free version that most use- so you should’ve expected some restrictions 🍜🍜

[nimble swan]

You can use PKHeX to creat files or you use .convert to make the bot create you a legal file of a pokemon like
.convert Garchomp
Shiny: Yes
Or you type the lines by yourself like
.trade Garchomp
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
OT: Duff
And so on

[calm quiver]

No i got the full game

[ruby relic]

I meant the bot usages

[calm quiver]

O

[empty wasp]

thanks

[ruby relic]

With our Patreon services, you’re free to let loose once you’ve completed the first trade.

[calm quiver]

@ruby relic rotem search alcremie on the pokedex

[ruby relic]

Why?

[calm quiver]

Your tag says pokedex help

[ruby relic]

Um alright, well please move to #659922221548044292 if ya don’t got anymore questions.

[calm quiver]

Sorry

[ruby relic]

All good, just let us know if ya need more help ofc

[calm quiver]

So uh Anyone here simp for alcremie and Gardevoir or just me

[nimble swan]

Uuuurm ... how can I say this? I know, the channel is called questions, but it actually doesnt mean that every questions can or should be asked in here. Its for server related questions like stuff about the bots and so on :)

[calm quiver]

Sorry

[nimble swan]

It's all good :)

[void phoenix]

what should i use for pokemon legends?

[nimble swan]

@empty wasp My man, dont pick moves. The Showdown format isnt the right one because the moves aren't in the game and I told you what to do. You dont wanna get bot banned, so use it properly

[empty wasp]

oh k

[nimble swan]

You can use PKHeX to creat files or you use .convert to make the bot create you a legal file of a pokemon like
.convert Garchomp
Shiny: Yes
Or you type the lines by yourself like
.trade Garchomp
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes
OT: Duff
And so on, but no moves since the vast majority of moves arent in PLA and even if you pick moves which are in the game the bot will most likely tell you that it took to long to generate

[void phoenix]

ty

[lone saddle]

why can i not connect with the trades form sword and sheld gengar

[nimble swan]

?slow

[nimble swan]

Read the message above this one

[lone saddle]

ok

[void phoenix]

how many pokemon should i get a day? just wanting to know so i don't get bot banned

[nimble swan]

Did you make sure that you did everything what the message says before you started the trade?

[lone saddle]

ye i have the internet on

[nimble swan]

There's no limit, you only get a bot ban if you repeatedly use the bots wrong after you've been told what you do wrong

[void phoenix]

okay ty

[nimble swan]

Alright, if it still doesnt work then go to a Pokemon Center before you start the trade and make sure your wifi signal is good

[lone saddle]

ok

[nimble swan]

@void phoenix You asked what to use for #940357499297615902 I replied and none of the options were Showdown and on top of that you requested a Pokemon not existent in PLA ... thats some very thin ice your standing on right now

[void phoenix]

sorry i meant to put it in swordshield-gengar

[nimble swan]

Still, you didn't read properly and posted it in #940357499297615902

Just make sure it doesnt happen again or you'll end up being bot banned

[void phoenix]

okay

[lone saddle]

it did not work still

[nimble swan]

Does the button in the bottom left corner of your screen looks the same? Blue background, white Y in it

[lone saddle]

ye

[nimble swan]

Do you have access to other online functions like raids, battles etc.?

[lone saddle]

but some times the black bit in the y goes red

[lone saddle]

ye

[nimble swan]

Oooof, then I have no clue anymore. Sorry

[lone saddle]

ok

i dont know if this would affect it but it was working fine before but then someone else connected to my trade and ever since then it has not worked

[nimble swan]

Oh well, that changes a lot. The bot has a feature where it detects when a person is either using two discord accounts to trade to one save file or one discord account to trade to two save files. Normally it should have started with "Trade cancelled due to suspicious activity" but you're actually not the first person where the bot connected to a different player and stopped finding the person who requested the pokemon

[lone saddle]

ye that is what happend

[nimble swan]

But did it tell you the error message with "suspicious activity"?

[lone saddle]

ye

i was trying to give my friend a pokemon but i was being lazy so i gave him the code and the suspicious activity showed so the i just tried to do it for my self but then some one i dont know got the trade and the pokemon

ok

[nimble swan]

@high fiber If you only need the pokemon for the dex you might read #937075162392719481 and give it a shot in #910010405475192883. Of course you can also do it the way you're doing it right now, there's nothing wrong with it. It just might be easier because there the people will help you 100% if you request in the proper format

[high fiber]

Alright. Thanks!

[nimble swan]

@rancid radish Read the message Im replying to if you meant with "Same" that you're looking for pokemon to complete the dex

[wise veldt]

Hey, just wanted to let you guys know that gengarbot for swsh is broken again. Its not finding us again.

[nimble swan]

It still reacts to commands

It also lowers the queue since someone was added at 8th place at 4.16pm as well as someone was added at 8th place one minute later

[nimble swan]

@cedar gust Please stop using Showdown for #940357499297615902, its not the proper format. If you continue, you'll end up being bot banned

@edgy widget Stop requesting swsh mons in #940357499297615902. Snorlax might be in PLA too but I saw you putting your request in #swordshield-bot after you attempted it in #940357499297615902. Read the sticky message in the channels and watch out in which bot channel you are or you'll get bot banned

[nimble swan]

@lofty elbow Please stop using Showdown for #940357499297615902, its not the proper format. If you continue, you'll end up being bot banned

@quaint oxide What are you doing? It doesnt matter, because youre definitively not using the bots properly. Regular Zacian has to be at least Level 70 iirc and the shiny event one Level 100

@night plover The command is .trade
It supposed to look like this

.trade Charizard @ Master Ball
Ability: Solar Power
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 52 HP
IVs: 0 Atk

• Flamethrower
• Dragon Dance
• Dragon Pulse
• Solar Beam

Well, I didnt know it was in Go. Im going to look up the moves it can learn at this level and nag about that the next time

[lofty elbow]

That’s bonkers bro

[nimble swan]

@cunning frigate My guy, I saw earlier today. I can tell you why you cant trade with the bot. You need to enable dms first because the bot has to send you your private code for the trade as well as when its initializing the trade ;)

[cunning frigate]

Oh thx

How do I do that

[nimble swan]

Are you on mobile or PC rn?

[cunning frigate]

Mobile

[nimble swan]

Alright, then you hold the server icon on the left side where all the servers are listed. A little Menu will open, then click on the gear where it says Options. Scroll down a bit, then it should show an option where it says Direct Messages. Click on that too once

[cunning frigate]

Ok done is that it

[nimble swan]

Does it look like that?

[cunning frigate]

Yes

[nimble swan]

If so then this should be it

[cunning frigate]

Ok thanks

[nimble swan]

@timid yacht Don't use #940357499297615902 for swsh requests. I know its annoying that you have to wait 10min because of the messed up command but what youre doing doesnt work and only gets you bot banned if you do it repeatedly. So just chill and wait for you cooldown to end please

@true linden What I said in the message above this one also counts for you

[true linden]

Yes that was a accident

[nimble swan]

It doesn't matter, the are called differently and there's a sticky message in both. You just need to pay attention, so please make sure it doesnt happen again

[true linden]

Ok

[rotund swan]

make a ticket in #816389595246886942

[lone saddle]

ok

[limpid idol]

I pledged to the lapres tier on Patreon, but it's not letting me do anything with it.

Never mind, I figured it out.

[high fiber]

The #swordshield-bot bot won’t gimme my pokemon. It have tried for like 3 days

It would say no trainer found

[rotund swan]

you got a switch online membership?

[high fiber]

Yep, online and all

[rotund swan]

Does it look like this when you search?

[high fiber]

Ye

Its like the bot never actually searches for a trade

[rotund swan]

Uh just try standing in a pokemon center during the trade next time and type in the code only when it says “Initializing…”

[high fiber]

Nope. Still not giving it

[rotund swan]

I’m not sure what the issue is then

Maybe an unstable connection or something

[glossy quartz]

I cant trade in sw/sh

Help

[rotund swan]

What’s the issue?

[nimble sparrow]

who gave me this pokemon with an invitation to this server?💀💀

but like its legal to have the pokemon right?

[rotund swan]

Yeah it is

[glossy quartz]

The lapras bot dont work

[rotund swan]

Can you please explain your problem further

Are you getting the NoTrainerFound error or what’s goin on

[glossy quartz]

Yes

[rotund swan]

Does it look like this when you search?

[glossy quartz]

Inverted color

[rotund swan]

Press Y then + to connect to the internet

[glossy quartz]

Perfect

[silent patio]

What's this server for?

[rotund swan]

Pokemon

[silent patio]

[silent patio]

Ok

So I did it and I got a trade code and I have to wait 30 minutes

And I entered the code and I put me with a random person and I didn't get Zamazenta so Ig I have to wait right

[rotund swan]

Yeah don’t put in the code yet

[silent patio]

Ok

[rotund swan]

You’re gonna get another dm saying “Initializing…”

Then you put it in

[silent patio]

K

And I can get any Pokemon and is there a limit on how much I can get

Oh

Wow the owner woowow HIIIII

OWOWOW

[formal ledge]

While putting a code is there a way to change the pokeball in swsh

[rotund swan]

Ya check the pins of #swordshield-bot

[silent patio]

Is there a way to change to name of it

[unkempt hearth]

THERES A PROBLEM

[silent patio]

?

[unkempt hearth]

Someone guessed my g3ngar bot code

[silent patio]

Wow

[unkempt hearth]

I didn’t know until it told me that it was trading with someone else

[silent patio]

Lol

[unkempt hearth]

No this bad

[silent patio]

Oh

[unkempt hearth]

I don’t want to get banned

[silent patio]

How will you get banned

[rotund swan]

you can do that in showdown

[silent patio]

Where is that

[rotund swan]

you’re not going to get banned, you just got unlucky

it’s in the video bro watch it lol

[silent patio]

I did lol

Ok brb

Ok so I can get it shiny

By doing .trad mew
Shiny: Yes

Like that that is what it show in the vid

[rotund swan]

no

[silent patio]

Oh

[rotund swan]

Mew is capitalized

[silent patio]

Ok

Is that it

[rotund swan]

yup

[unkempt hearth]

I changed my code once and this is what happened

[rotund swan]

to avoid grammatical errors just copy paste from showdown

[unkempt hearth]

Idk who this is

[silent patio]

K

[rotund swan]

there’s nothing we can do about it. you can set a custom code next time like so:

.trade 00001616 Espeon

[silent patio]

Can I get a shiny fused pokemon?

[rotund swan]

can’t trade fused pokemon

[silent patio]

Ok

[silent patio]

Will I get banned if I use my Zamazenta online

[unkempt hearth]

Nope

[silent patio]

Alr you sure

[unkempt hearth]

Only if u somehow use it when it says ur not allowed to

[lavish herald]

yes they don’t ban is swsh anymore

they never really did either

[unkempt hearth]

Tru

[silent patio]

If I use it in a Pokemon battle will I get banned I have to make sure

Ok

Question if I want a mewTwo shiny will I have to do
.trade MewTwo
Shiny: Yes

Ok

Will this work or is Zamazenta shiny lock
.trade Zamazenta-Crowned @ Rusted Shield
Ability: Dauntless Shield
Shiny: Yes

• Behemoth Bash
• Close Combat

Ok

[silent patio]

What does this mean

[rotund swan]

Have you traded to two different save files?

or used two different discord accounts with the bot

[silent patio]

No

Oh wait I did save

How do I fix it

[rotund swan]

You traded to another save file?

[silent patio]

No

Like I save before trading for it

[rotund swan]

that’s not what i mean. if you didn’t do either of the above then it could be a bug. just try again

[silent patio]

Ok

[unkempt hearth]

Um do to the fact that my Pokémon kept getting stolen now g3ngar won’t let me trade, what do I do?

K thx 🙏

[rotund swan]

Not sure when that will be done

np

[thorn jetty]

hopefully it can be fixed

if you ask me i think someone has tapped the trader through discord and is bypassing peoples codes and taking there pokemon. as many people are having the problem now so it cant be coincidence anymore.... either that or the bot is really broken lol

[rotund swan]

it is coincidence lol and no the bot isn’t broken

there’s only a certain range of codes that the bot gives so sometimes people can get same code

and there’s a suspicious activity bug as well that doesn’t have anything to do with codes

Why does it keep telling me the Pokémon in unavailable

Huh?

I was in sword shield but I got it to work

Sorry I was lol

[silent patio]

How to I put all max iv on my Pokemon I am getting from trade

[rotund swan]

should be maxed out by default i think

you can pick EVs if you click on the stats box in showdown

shows IVs there too

[silent patio]

Ok

BRUH

It happened again I didn't get my Pokemon I was trading for

BRUH

[waxen flicker]

Can you get a gigantamaxed pokemon from the #swordshield-bot

[silent patio]

Ye

[waxen flicker]

How?

[silent patio]

I didn't get my Pokemon again

When is it going to be fix?

Ok

So every two hours I can do it again

Oh

Alr

It work

Works

[subtle folio]

How do I add abilities to the trade bot?

[sinful steeple]

Do you have any trade bots for lets go pikachu

[digital trench]

[primal glade]

I couldnt find the pokemon sword trade can anyone help me?

[static blaze]

#swordshield-bot

[ruby relic]

#swsh-trades ^ if you’re looking for trading with actual members, if not look above my message
@primal glade

[burnt gorge]

How do I make the trade bot give me an alpha Pokémon or legends arceus

[ruby relic]

.trade Pikachu
Alpha: Yes

[burnt gorge]

Thanks

[candid quiver]

the gengar trades are simply just not working for me

[ruby relic]

Mind elaborating?

[candid quiver]

i wait for it to say "I'm waiting for you, Krispy.dingdong! Your code is (code). My IGN is dsc.gg/bdsp." and then i type the code in and wait and after a little it just says failed notrainerfound

[ruby relic]

You were probably too late then

[candid quiver]

i even type the code in before it says it and leave it and it still doesnt work

[ruby relic]

As soon as the message Initializing trade appears, enter the trade

Also it helps to be in a Pokémon center when trading :>>

[candid quiver]

pokemon center...?

the place that you heal your pokemon right

[static blaze]

?guide

depending on your game go ahead and watch either video

[dire jewel]

How do you receive a Pokémon?

Link trade code?

[quasi grove]

Is the Pokémon showdown method still available

[static blaze]

only for swsh, not legends

[quasi grove]

That fine. I can just use Pokémon home to transfer, right?

[dire jewel]

Ya

[quasi grove]

Thx

[dire jewel]

So how do I receive it in link trades? (Shield)

[static blaze]

you would connect to the online services on the ycom menu for link trading and then input the code gengar would give you

[dire jewel]

Set link code?

[subtle folio]

How do I set up a moveset on the bot?

[rotund swan]

?showdown

[mystic shard]

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/teambuilder

[rotund swan]

use this website then copy paste into gengar with the command

[candid quiver]

the trading thing just doesn’t work for me

i’m in the pokémon center i typed the code as soon as it said initializing trade and ik i typed it right but it still says cancelling the trade because notrainerfound

i’m sorry idk what that means

what’s y-comm?

omg i’m an idiot i wasn’t connected🤣

i’m so sorry

[rotund swan]

How do I make a Pokémon shiny in gengar bot for legends arceus

[wild wharf]

Shiny: Yes

I think

[rotund swan]

I’ll try it

Didn’t work

[wild wharf]

Idk then

[vagrant field]

How to do I get to start using the bot?

?guide

Is there a vid for bdsp or is it the same

Oh, so currently there’s not bot for bdsp?

Ok thanks

[wild wharf]

Wait if I were to get a level 100 baby pokemon would I still be able to evolve it?

[ruby relic]

I mean if it reached lvl100, without evolving yet, then nope

[wild wharf]

I searched it up, all you need is a rare candy, level wise nothing happens but it will trigger evolution

[ruby relic]

Ah didn’t know, good to note

[cloud rune]

I'm new and I was wondering how to do the gengar thing

[rotund swan]

?guide

Top link is a guide for sword/shield

Other is for legends arceus

[dapper crest]

Hey struggling with some code.
Trying to make this mon a level 30 but keep getting 100 😂 also can I get it G-max?

.trade Impidimp @ Life orb

[tribal nacelle]

Is there a list for Pokémon I can and can’t get in swsh from this sever if there is can someone direct me to where it is

[ruby relic]

Check pins 📌 within #swordshield-bot

[tribal nacelle]

Thanks

[dapper crest]

Argh I see where I went wrong lv vs level 😅 thank you 🎉

[minor tiger]

Nvm^

[minor tiger]

I can try again tho

[ruby relic]

Ah okok

Pretty sure he said something about having 2 save files or whatever

[minor tiger]

It worked

[ruby relic]

It happens when you trade with two or more Discord Accounts to one save file or with one Discord Account to two or more save files

For future references

[minor tiger]

Check dm^

[thorn jetty]

well its not the case for me. i have one save file and one discord yet the trader doesnt work for me, and its not just me now there a few people now with the same problem

[ruby relic]

@rotund swan pin 📌 ^

[rotund swan]

good idea ty

[silent patio]

You guys should low the slowmode on the g3ngar

[rotund swan]

can’t because it will overload the bot

something like that, there’s a lot of reasons

[silent patio]

Oh alr

That makes sense

[craggy otter]

Will I get banned in Pokémon home if I transfer a Pokémon to there from gengar bot?

[still moat]

it's been an hour and my ditto hasn't showed up, should I be worried? 😦

[covert crane]

The queue reset around 20 minutes after you entered it, so you have to rejoin it

[still moat]

crap 😂

[rotund swan]

Can you request Gigantamax Pokémon?

yes

add -Gmax after the pokemon name like Cinderace-Gmax

Ok thank you

[broken hound]

hey i have a question im trying to trade for a rotom in shield and it wont trade it to me

[rotund swan]

What’s the error message you get

[silent patio]

The bot is not accepting trade queue

[nimble swan]

Zarude-Dada is shiny locked also its an event mon so it cant be nicknamed (Zarude is shiny locked too)

[silent patio]

K

[nimble swan]

Sorry, I just saw what you meant. I only looked at your logs assuming the request could have been wrong, which it was but the bot message was a different one. Ima be honest, I havent seen this before so Im clueless

[silent patio]

Oh ok ya same

[nimble swan]

Maybe try it again, it showed me a different message now

[silent patio]

K

[nimble swan]

@dire lion I saw your swsh requests in #940357499297615902. Please make sure to be in the correct channel, they have a different name and a sticky message in them telling you which one is for what game. You just need to pay attention and read :)

@wide hawk If you want Alphas just add a line with Alpha: Yes
For example:

.trade Garchomp
Alpha: Yes
Shiny : Yes

[wide hawk]

Oh okay thanks

[nimble swan]

Also if you have questions to the bots or other server related stuff, feel free to ask in here :)

[wide hawk]

Question what's your favorite shiny

[nimble swan]

Its Metagross, but this is no server related questions which is the only allowed thing in this channel. For talks and stuff you should go to #659922221548044292 :)

@rotund swan Regional Pokemon need -Hisui after the species added.
For example:
.trade Zoroark-Hisui

[nimble swan]

I think I know why it said that, the queue had a length of 60 people. It seems like this is the maximum amount of request the bot takes. Thats why it probably didnt accept any requests

[silent patio]

Ok

[wide hawk]

So am I able to say if I wanted a shiny legendary can I add alpha

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan You keep forgetting to add the command .trade in front of the Showdown paste

.trade Lunala @ Power Herb
Ability: Shadow Shield
Level: 100
EVs: 148 HP / 4 Def / 228 SpA / 92 SpD / 36 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
– Protect
– Trick Room
– Meteor Beam
– Moongeist Beam

This is how its supposed to look like

[rotund swan]

@nimble swan I just realized that

I was like wtf

lmao thanks for the heads up though

[nimble swan]

Sadly not, the Legendary/Mythical Pokemon cant be Shiny or Alpha. The only way to get shiny Legendarys is from transferring them from Home into PLA :)

[rotund swan]

I would've had this over with by now but the bot cancelled the trade first time around lol

[wide hawk]

Okay thanks

[nimble swan]

No problem, I just saw that it worked and then you forgot the command so I was like, maybe he didn't realized it xD

@shadow current Charizard has to be at least level 36 since it doesnt evolve earlier :)

[rotund swan]

Its really aggravating that GF won't implement a better competitive format tbh. Like, I feel like the time it takes irl to get a legit competitive team to just get yourself started with climbing the ladder is way too long for a game with this type of mode.

[nimble swan]

I totally agree, even tho its in Gen 8 already easier than back in Gen 4. Nonetheless I have to say that this channel is only for server related questions :(

[rotund swan]

no worries, I'll go complain about gf in general

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan EVs are limited to 510 in total and max is 252 at one stat. So you cant have more than two stats having 252 and one with 4. But you can also spread the 510 points on all stats however you want. It just cant be more than 252 for one stat and 510 in total

@rotund swan Please stop using Showdown for #940357499297615902. Its not the proper format for this bot

[rotund swan]

Ok, thank you. Just joined this sever today

[nimble swan]

No problem, if you have a question to the bots or anything else server related feel free to ask in here for help :)

@lean fern Please make sure to be in the right channel when you request pokemon because you requested a swsh Pokemon (Even tho Eevee is in PLA, theres no GMAX there) in #940357499297615902. If you do this repeatedly, you'll end up getting bot banned

[rotund swan]

Will the trade bot DM me a code if not how do I trade with it?

[austere crag]

What's the code for a shiny hisuian zorua?

[rotund swan]

Can I get banned for this

[austere crag]

Idk I just joined

[rotund swan]

Is there any way to get updated by the trade bots?

[rotund swan]

type .qs in that channel

[rotund swan]

no

[rotund swan]

yea it will

Ok thx

[rotund swan]

.trade Zorua-Hisui
Shiny: Yes

[austere crag]

Thank you so much

[austere crag]

What's the code for a alpha shiny lopunny?

[rotund swan]

Is there a way to prevent gengarbot from cancelling the trade? I understand that it's probably doing it due to the load its currently under, but this is the second time in a row where I've entered in the link code given and it just dips on me saying no trainer found unfortunately :/

more specifically, swsh-gengar

[wild wharf]

What do i do when I set my link code for gengar not but there is someone else with the same link code?

[nimble swan]

.trade Lopunny
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes

(This works with every Pokemon in PLA except legendarys/mythicals which cant be shiny or alpha. Just change the Lopunny to whatever Pokemon you want)

[nimble swan]

?slow

[rotund swan]

I put in the link code immediately though

like within 10 seconds literally

[nimble swan]

Does the button in the bottom left corner looks like this?

[nimble swan]

Also its more about the second part of the slow message tho ^^' Its just easier to use the command instead of writing it several times a day

[clever swift]

Is there a way to check the queue for how many people are in line for their Pokémon to be in their game?

[wild wharf]

.qs

[nimble swan]

.qs

[rotund swan]

I have nintendo switch online and the the button looks identical, except the y is red

[clever swift]

Thanks

[rotund swan]

I've done trades with the bot before, its just today that it's been acting weird

[nimble swan]

What message does it says when it cancels the trade? The first message where it started cancelling it

[rotund swan]

Oops! Something happened. Canceling the trade: NoTrainerFound.

Second message: Trade canceled: NoTrainerFound

[nimble swan]

Aight, just wanted to know if its suspicious activity

Do you have access to the other online features? Because the red y is confusing me

Like suprise trade or something

[nimble swan]

So you already used a personalized trade code?

Or just the one that gengar gives you?

[wild wharf]

I'm waiting for my turn

[wild wharf]

I have the trade code set up

[rotund swan]

looks like that

[wild wharf]

But a random person has the same code as me

It's the one gengar gave me

[rotund swan]

@wild wharf what was your code? Mine was 0000 1884 and I had it searching this whole time until just now

[wild wharf]

No

Mine is 00001993

[nimble swan]

If its the one from Gengar then you can use personalized codes by putting an 8 digit nimber after the trade
For example;
.trade 12345678 Garchomp

[wild wharf]

Oh ok

I have it set up already and don't want to wait longer though

[nimble swan]

So the chance if someone having the same code or snipping people is way lower

[nimble swan]

What you can do, so its less to load, is going into a Pokemon Center and start searching first when it says that it's initializing the trade. You know, when you got the message from Gengar bot. Also make sure to have a good wifi signal, this was rarely the problem but it happened

If its still not working, then im clueless

[rotund swan]

That's what I did, aside from being inside of a pokemon center

[broken hound]

says the there is a problem with the trading partner

[nimble swan]

You can give the Pokemon Center a shot, maybe it will work. I always did it there and never had any problems

[nimble swan]

Can you make a screenshot and post it in here?

[broken hound]

i can try

@nimble swan

[nimble swan]

Ooooh, that. Alright, do you have the Pokemon Showdown paste then?

[broken hound]

Yes I do

[nimble swan]

I thought it says that in dms, an error message like TrainerNotFound or SuspiciousActicity

[broken hound]

it says this right after

[nimble swan]

Yeah, its because you cant do the trade since the Pokemon game doesnt want you to. May I see the message you sent in the bot channel?

Basically just what you copy from Showdown

[broken hound]

yes

Rotom @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

  this is what it is

[rotund swan]

If I become a patron, who do I message to get the correct role?

[nimble swan]

I think its the Hydro Pump, Hydro Pump can only be learned by Rotom-Wash

[broken hound]

it shows you in the patron who to link your discord to the patron

[broken hound]

okay ill fix it

[nimble swan]

Theres a way to trigger a bot message but I dont know

[rotund swan]

oh

[rotund swan]

I am slow af I swear to god

[nimble swan]

I forgit which order I had. Nvm I got my screenshots :)

[nimble swan]

Let me know if it worked :)

[broken hound]

i will linking up into the trade now

i works now thank you

[nimble swan]

Thanks for letting me know that it worked :)

[thorny reef]

Hey y’all do you know where the ganger bot is?

[rotund swan]

gang

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan If you want the Hisuian regional variants, you just need to add -Hisui after the Pokemon species
For example:
.trade Zorua-Hisui
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes

@prime shadow No Showdown for #940357499297615902, please. It will most likely fail and if you use this wrong format repeatedly you'll get bot banned by a staff member

@hard gulch You are using the wrong bot. Go to #swordshield-bot and make sure that you read the channels name or the sticky message inside of the channel or you'll get bot banned by a staff member if it hapoens repeatedly

@rotund swan Im not entirely sure but I think the first letter of Hisui has to be capitalized

@prime shadow I told you already that your current format, Pokemon Showdown, isnt allowed to use for #940357499297615902

@knotty garden You were using the wrong channel, you requested a swsh pokemon in #940357499297615902. Make sure to use the right bot channel by reading the name first or the sticky message inside the channel :)

[nimble swan]

If it happens repeatedly you'll most likely end up being bot banned by a staff member

[knotty garden]

Yeah ik I didn’t read the first bit

[nimble swan]

@mystic holly You requested ... erm, something very special. I dont even want to tell you whats all wrong, just use validate on Showdown please. The best format is [Gen 8 SWSH] Anything Goes

?validate

[nimble swan]

Its ok, just make sure it doesnt happen again :) You dont want to get bot banned and I dont want you to get bot banned ^^

[knotty garden]

Yeah lmao

[nimble swan]

@wraith rose Use #940357499297615902 hahaha

Also its spelled Sylveon

@half patrol You need to write .trade in the textbox, attach the file and then send it :)

[half patrol]

Oh thx

[nimble swan]

@random kettle Its just .trade in the textbox and then the attached file the bot created for you

Or you do it like you did haha

[hard gulch]

Why am I on read only? Im just learning how this thing works

[nimble swan]

You posted an swsh request in the wrong bot #940357499297615902. I told you that you were using the wrong bot, but you did it again. So you got the bot banned role as a punsihment

[hard gulch]

I didnt even know it was a request for one game I thought it worked for both

Im new

[nimble swan]

The name of the bot channel kinda tolds you for what game it is, also there's a sticky message in the channel which tells you as well. On top of that, I pinged you and told you too. Also I cant remove it, Im no staff member :| and even if I was, I wouldnt because it wasnt me who gave you the role

[hard gulch]

Ok

So how long will it be like this for I guess

[nimble swan]

In most cases its permanent, at least from what I know

But maybe King Ed has more information :)

[rotund swan]

it’s permanent in most cases unfortunately

[hard gulch]

Wow

Ok

[nimble swan]

@latent citrus You were using the wrong bot. You requested a swsh mon (Eternatus) in #940357499297615902. Make sure to read the channel name or the sticky message in the channels so this wont happen again. If it happens repeatedly, you'll end up getting bot banned. Now go to #swordshield-bot

They did. You're very welcome. I'm glad that I can help :)

@mystic holly Please, what you're doing is completely wrong. Please use the validate function on Showdown

?validate

That explains a lot. I was shocked when I saw the 60 people queue

[wild wharf]

So I got my aegislash but It didn't get any of the moves I asked for

[nimble swan]

Can you show what you exactly requested?

[wild wharf]

How do i do that?

[nimble swan]

@barren granite For all Hisuian variants add -Hisui after the pokemon like Voltorb-Hisui (capitalization of Hisui matters)

[nimble swan]

Just send in here what you send in swsh-gengar

[wild wharf]

Ok

Hold on

[nimble swan]

@bold musk You're using the wrong bot. You requested Dratini (a pokemon which isnt in pla) 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

@barren granite Voltorb-Hisui

[wild wharf]

.trade aegislash
Shiny: Yes
Nature: Brave
Evs: 252 HP / 252 Ark / 4 Sp.Def

• Swords Dance- Sacred Sword- Kings Shield- Shadow Sneak

[nimble swan]

.trade Aegislash
Shiny: Yes
Nature: Brave
Evs: 252 HP / 252 Ark / 4 Sp.Def

• Swords Dance
• Sacred Sword
• Kings Shield
• Shadow Sneak

It should look like this

[wild wharf]

Ooohhh

Ok

Thanks

[nimble swan]

@languid carbon Please dont use Showdown for #940357499297615902. Its nit the proper format of the message. Doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role

@frank night You're using the wrong bot. You requested Dratini (a pokemon which isnt in pla) 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

@noble rampart Decidueye-Hisui

[noble rampart]

Ah Ty

[nimble swan]

@wraith rose Go to #940357499297615902 and its Sylveon

[wraith rose]

Ah thanks

[nimble swan]

@normal wyvern You cant trade fused Pokemon. Its not possible because Gamefreak doesnt want it. Also Calyrex as well as both horses are shiny locked

@jade cipher EVs are limited to 510 in total. You cant give every stat 252 EVs sadly

[jade cipher]

ah thanks

[nimble swan]

@jade cipher You're using the wrong bot. You requested Dratini (a pokemon which isnt in pla) 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

[barren granite]

Thank you

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan The correct comman is .trade

[knotty garden]

.queue

[nimble swan]

There are #swordshield-bot or #940357499297615902. I dont know what you could mean with switch bots

[nimble swan]

....

[knotty garden]

Wrong hat

Chat

[nimble swan]

@high temple Read the message Im replying tk

[high temple]

yeah im sorry i was thinking of a different sysbot server

my bad

[nimble swan]

Alright, at least you figured it out :)

[languid carbon]

Ok I’m so sorry

[nimble swan]

Was it about the message format?

For #940357499297615902

@languid carbon

[languid carbon]

Yes?

[nimble swan]

Alright, its pretty simple if you cant use PKHeX
Just do
.trade Garchomp
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes

If you dont want it to be Alpha, dont wirte Alpha: Yes same for shiny

Legendarys/Mythicals cant be shiny or Alpha

[languid carbon]

Thank you!

[nimble swan]

@elfin plaza Its only possible to have 510 EVs in total. So you cant give every stat 252 EVs

[elfin plaza]

Thank you 🙏 have a blessed day

[nimble swan]

Thanks, you too

@coarse mango Eternatus is shiny locked. There's also a list in the pins of #swordshield-bot with all shiny locked Pokemon. Might be worth taking a look at it, since it can prevent you the 10min Cooldown ;)

@icy fossil Its only possible to have 510 EVs in total. So you cant give every stat 252 EVs

@magic lake Just in case you havent seen it, you need to enable dms on the server to request Pokemon from the bot since it has to write you a dm with the trade code and when its initializing the trade :)

[clever swift]

How am I supposed to get the trade when It’s my turn?!?

I have the code and everything but it doesn’t work?

[rotund swan]

You got a nintendo switch online membership?

[wide hawk]

Hey so I am trying to get a Alpha Shiny toxicroak but it keeps showing normal Shiny and not Alpha

[rotund swan]

could you send here what you requested exactly?

[wide hawk]

Yeah

.trade toxicroak
Shiny:yes
Alpha:yes

I think it's backwards

[rotund swan]

try this:

.trade Toxicroak
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

as far as i know, it can be both shiny and alpha so it could just be the way you put it maybe

[narrow elk]

Am i allowed to send spotify links (nothing explicit or bad, just songs from the pokemon anime)?

[rotund imp]

Does this method work for switches diamond and pearl?

[wide hawk]

So it didn't work again I didn't get a shiny alpha I'll try a different pokemon

[wild wharf]

How do i ask for a held item on a pokemon on gengar

[rotund swan]

yeah i’m sorry i’m not a huge legends arceus guy so i’m not sure what’s wrong with it

[rotund swan]

yes

[rotund swan]

You can do it like this:

.trade Cresselia @ Master Ball

[wild wharf]

Ok

Thx

[rotund swan]

you can pick your item in showdown as well and just copy paste. it’s easier that way so you don’t have a grammar mistake

[narrow elk]

It didnt let me :shrug:

[rotund swan]

oh

?youngster

^^

[narrow elk]

Ah

Thank you

[vapid spoke]

Dis they take the free version away ? For bdsp?

[rotund swan]

and it had very low usage

[vapid spoke]

I see ty for fast reply !

[wide hawk]

Um so lime it still didn't work so I'm confused but I'll fond out soon

[rotund swan]

@covert crane sorry for ping, but do you know anything about this

[covert crane]

Surprisingly I don’t

[mortal wagon]

For some reason the bot isn't doing the trade, and I feel like they blocked me, because for some weird reason it said on one of the trades that they canceled it due to "suspicious activity" when I did absolutely nothing, I don't know if it's because the pokemon I put up had a japanese name. But once they declined that and put the cancel reason up, I haven't been able to trade a bot since.

[minor tiger]

Just try again

[mortal wagon]

I did

[minor tiger]

Tho it will probably do it a few times still

[mortal wagon]

I did it twice

I'll try again

[rotund swan]

It’s an unfortunate thing that can happen. Wait 2 hours and you’ll be free to trade again

[unkempt hearth]

So I’m not allowed to have shedinja have the ability sturdy since it illegal right? Like I can’t use the gengar bot to get it

And is the thing fixed where the bot won’t trade?

[rotund swan]

Are you referring to the “suspicious activity”? And yes if it’s illegal, you can not request it with the bot

[unkempt hearth]

K

Yes I am

[rotund swan]

As long as 2 hours have passed since you received that message, you should be good to go

[unkempt hearth]

K thx

[silent patio]

How do I use do ivs

And Evs

[rotund swan]

in pokemon showdown there’s a stats box for them

[silent patio]

Ik

But when I get my good EVs and ivs the bot says I can't get it

[rotund swan]

you can’t nickname shiny zeraora since it was an event

[silent patio]

Ok

[rotund swan]

and i don’t think you can pick evs and ivs with it either

but don’t quote me on that

[silent patio]

Ok

[inland badger]

My trade keeps closing do to suspicious activity, why

[rotund swan]

You either traded to two different save files or used two different discord accounts with the bot. If you didn’t do either of those then someone probably got in your trade and the bot thinks you used two accounts. It will go away in 2 hours and you’ll be good then

And yes what shaymin said

[inland badger]

Thanks

[zealous oasis]

You're welcome

[clever swift]

Yeah

[rotund swan]

What error message did you get

[clever swift]

I’m putting in the code as it tells me

[rotund swan]

When you search does it look like this?

[clever swift]

Yeah

I just joined this today and I might need some assistance if that’s ok

[rotund swan]

Alright then just try standing in a pokemon center next time and only type the code in when you get the DM saying “Initializing trade…”

That’s all the advice i can give

[clever swift]

Alr thanks

So basically when it says to get ready I put in the code and then it works?

@rotund swan ^^^

[rotund swan]

When it says “initializing trade, be ready”

[clever swift]

Alr thank you

[rotund swan]

np

[swift plaza]

Does trading not work with this thing without a Nintendo switch online membership?

[rotund swan]

Nope

[swift plaza]

@rotund swan FRICK! ty

[rigid nimbus]

does anyone know when #940357499297615902 will be working?

[craggy otter]

Idk if I’m too late to answer but make sure your not trading on local

[rotund swan]

nope

[rigid nimbus]

it just went back up but thanks for answering :))

[craggy otter]

Gengar Bot isn’t working for Arceus

[mighty arch]

How does legends Gengar work new to all this

[zealous oasis]

Watch this

?guide

[mighty arch]

What if we don't have a laptop or computer that will let us download the kind of stuff

[rotund swan]

you can do basic mobile commands if you just want a shiny or alpha pokemon

[mighty arch]

No clue what alpha pokemon are I juest got the game and ya mostly juest looking for the newer forms that came with the game and shiny starters
