questions

[rotund swan]

Yeah you just need a nintendo switch online membership so you can trade with the bot

[mighty arch]

That I have mostly just don't fully understand how to type it out since I can't do the zip file

I get the .trade I juest not understanding the rest

[rotund swan]

what’s “the rest”

[mighty arch]

Basically how to type the name out of it's from the legends of you say the pokemon name first then the region name or vice versa

[rotund swan]

well for example

.trade Zorua-Hisui

[formal ledge]

While using a bot code is there a way to change the Pokéball? Btw shield

[rotund swan]

ya check the pins in #swordshield-bot

it’s at the bottom

[formal ledge]

Wydm pin?

[rotund swan]

[dim zealot]

[silent hemlock]

Hello

@magic raft you need to fix your formatting. Use https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/teambuilder to build your Pokémon.

[magic raft]

@silent hemlock i keep getting level 100's and they dont listen

[silent hemlock]

Yep. That’ll do it.

?obey

[magic raft]

what do i do

[silent hemlock]

How many badges do you have?

[magic raft]

im getting a zacian lvl 1000

100*

[silent hemlock]

Shiny?

[magic raft]

no idk how

i do spaces and doesnt work

[silent hemlock]

I told you to use showdown to format your Pokémon

[magic raft]

?

ohh

do i do Level:40?

[silent hemlock]

You aren’t using showdown

Look, I’m going to paste a format here. This is what yours should look like

.trade Corviknight (M) @ Protective Pads
Ability: Mirror Armor
Level: 51
Shiny: Yes
Gigantamax: Yes
Ball: Heavy Ball
OT: icky
EVs: 240 HP / 248 Atk / 20 SpD
Adamant Nature

• Bulk Up
• Protect

@magic raft type .qc to cancel

[magic raft]

what pokemon should i use for lvl 40

@silent hemlock ?

anybody?

[silent hemlock]

Chill

What do you mean?

[magic raft]

for sword, lvll 40 best pokemon? zeraora no work

[silent hemlock]

Zeraora won’t work because it’s minimum level is level 50 (like it told you in the channel)
Just use Pokémon that you like. Don’t worry about legendaries right now.

Beat some more gyms.

[magic raft]

i have to fight lee just beat fairy

[silent hemlock]

The fifth gym?

[magic raft]

ye

[silent hemlock]

So pokemon up to level 70 will obey you.

[magic raft]

oh

[silent hemlock]

I’m done with this though.
It’s up to you how to play the game. I’m not here to play it for you.
Have fun.

[magic raft]

thx for the level thing though!

[silent hemlock]

All good

[nimble swan]

Do you still need help?

[nimble swan]

@merry heart
.trade Gengar
Shiny: Yes
They have to be in a seperate line :)

[merry heart]

Thank u so much 🙂

[nimble swan]

@unkempt hearth My buddy, you know what's wrong with your request right? Haha

[unkempt hearth]

Yea lol

[nimble swan]

Alright then, just wanted to be sure xD

[unkempt hearth]

😂

[merry heart]

Hello is there anyway I can pick the level of the Pokémon?

[nimble swan]

Add a line with Level:
For example:

.trade Garchomp
Level: 90

[merry heart]

Thanks

[nimble swan]

@craggy summit Shiny Zacian is an event mon and cant be nicknamed as well as every other event pokemon

[waxen flicker]

How do I get a Rapid strike style urshifu from the #swordshield-bot

[nimble swan]

.trade Urshifu-Rapid-Strike
In case you haven't figured it out on your own already :)

[waxen flicker]

Thanks alot! :D

[magic raft]

why wont shiny zeraora work?

[nimble swan]

Shiny Zeraora is only available at Level 100 due to its event

[magic raft]

ohh 😦 well thanks

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan Add -Hisui if you want the regional variant, which is the only available in PLA
For example:
.trade Zoroark-Hisui
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

[rotund swan]

Thanks

How do I adjust the level

[nimble swan]

Add a line with Level:
For example:

.trade Garchomp
Level: 90

[rotund swan]

Thanks

[magic raft]

is foreign rare from these trades? (i just got a japanese shiny mew)

[nimble swan]

The reason why your mew is japanese because its from an event. If you request event mons the bot will automatically change language, OT, TID and whatsoever so it fits its event and is legal, if its necessary

[magic raft]

what is illegal do?

does*

[nimble swan]

If your pokemon or the request is illegal the bot simply dont make it

[magic raft]

oh

[mighty arch]

Can kleavor be a alpha pokemon?

[nimble swan]

Yes

[mighty arch]

Wired I did everything right but ganger didn't give me a alpha ver like I asked for

[nimble swan]

Can you send in here what you sent in Gengar?

[mighty arch]

.trade Kleavor
Shiny: yes
Level: 40
Alpha: yes

Everything elesh was spot on but the alpha

[nimble swan]

I dont know if the latest update is already installed for the #940357499297615902 bot but I know that there is or was a bug were Alpha requested Pokemon didnt came out Alpha. Maybe try
.trade Kleavor
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes
Level: 40

[mighty arch]

Aright I'm try it that way

And I don't know if it matters but it only know 1 move

[mint hill]

hello

[static blaze]

are you trading in swsh or legends by chance

[nimble swan]

The suspicious activity problem isnt anymore, if it happens to occur it will be gone in 2h. So after 2h of the trade cancel due to suspicious activity, trades should work again. Therefore if it happened again, today, that the bot wasnt able to find you, it has to be a different problem

[mint hill]

swsh

[mint hill]

Yes, the suspicious activity problem is the one we resolved days ago but the problem now is the bot can't find me once I begin the trade search and it cancels the trade. I've tried this 4 times over the span of 2 days and it's still doesn't find me.

and I mean like I submit the code I confirm to start the trade and the wheel just spins and spins until it times out

in that first box, it even went through the whole dialogue as if we successfully completed a trade. meanwhile, my trade search wheel was still spinning. lol.

[static blaze]

are you sure that your ycom is connected?

[nimble swan]

I cant say much. If your trade once worked in the entirety of you requesting pokemon, then it cant be a not activated ycom, no Nintendo Online or Switch without wifi problem. The only thing I can tell you now, if you made sure that the 3 things mentioned earlier are all given, is to go into a Pokemon Center while searching, make sure to have a good wifi signal and start searching when the bot says that its initializing the trade

[nimble swan]

@signal spindle Shiny Zamazenta has to fit its event, so it has to be Level 100

[signal spindle]

Ok

[mint hill]

yes ofc

[nimble swan]

@ashen valve The correct command is .trade
So its
.trade Tapu wapu (Tapu Fini) @ Master Ball
Ability: Misty Surge
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 188 HP

• Facade
• Blizzard
• Moonblast
• Dazzling Gleam

[mint hill]

wait we can get a shiny zacian and zamazenta?

[nimble swan]

Yes

[zealous oasis]

Yes

[mint hill]

bruh

i neeeed ths bot to work zacian's shiny is top tier

[nimble swan]

Then try what I told you in the message and if it still doesnt work then I cant help you

[mint hill]

oh so i have to be in the pokemon center?

[nimble swan]

It helps yes

[mint hill]

ok lemme try it ig

crossin my fingers man

[nimble swan]

I hope it works for you :)

@waxen ledge It's Gardevoir

[errant wigeon]

Question how do you use legends gengar

Cause it’s not the same for swsh gengar

[nimble swan]

The simplest way is probably just to type the necessary lines yourself
For example

.trade Garchomp
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes
Level: 89
OT: Duff

If you dont want it to have your OT you can simply not type it, same goes for every other. Moves can easily be changed after you received it since in PLA the system is changed

@errant wigeon ^

[errant wigeon]

Ok thank you very much

[nimble swan]

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

[wild raft]

Ok thanks forclrtting me know

Mistype

[ashen valve]

How long does gengar trade take

[mint hill]

itll tell u

[errant wigeon]

Uhm I have a question so I’m trading for a shiny cyndaquill and I use this

.trade cyndaquill
Shiny:yes
Level: 10

And is says that it is out of index

[nimble swan]

One L in Cyndaquil

[errant wigeon]

Bruh

Thank you

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan You're using #763131979565629510 and in swsh there are no Alpha Pokemon. Also if you want it to work, you need a seperate line for Shiny
.trade Tyranitar
Shiny: Yes

?guide

@rotund swan The easiest way to use the swordshield bots is via Showdown. How it works is explained in the first link, which leads to a video guide, of the message above this one :)

Do you have Nintendo Online as well as the internet activated via Ycom?

Just to be sure, since it happens a couple times where people were sure it was activated, but it was not. Does the little button in the bottom left corner looks like the one on the picture

You dont need to try again, I just need to know if youre button is blue with a white Y or is it white with a blue Y.

[proper pendant]

Is it possible to leave the queue for gengar

[paper cairn]

Where do I trade to get a bad t

[nimble swan]

.qc

[mighty arch]

Can any hisui pokemon be alpha pokemon or only a select few

[zealous oasis]

Yes

[nimble swan]

Every Pokemom except Legendarys/Mythicals can be Alpha, same goes for Shiny

[zealous oasis]

Any Hisiuan form

[nimble swan]

Alright, another trick is to stay in a Pokemon Center when you start searching for the trade as well as making sure to have a good wifi signal

If the button is blue

Aaaah. I see. Well, if you want it to be Shiny it needs to be in a separate line

.trade Rayquaza
Shiny: Yes

This is how it should look like

You can copy it from the message and try it again, it should really work like that

@stuck grove Yes, its possible
Add the line Alpha: Yes to it
Exceptions are Mythicals and Legendarys, those cant be Alpha or Shiny. For example:

.trade Garchomp
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes

[novel sundial]

i have like an hour waiting for my trade

is normal?

[rotund swan]

type .qs to check the time left until it’s your turn

[nimble swan]

It is, the time the bot tells you is only estimated and therefore inaccurate

@brazen hollow You need to request a regular or a 10% Zygarde with the Ability Power Construct to get the Complete Form after having less than 50% health in battle

[novel sundial]

ok thank u

[nimble swan]

@brazen hollow Dragapult has to be at least Level 60 since it doesnt evolve earlier :)

[narrow ermine]

How do you level up

@zealous oasis

[nimble swan]

By writing messages in specific channels. Those channels are #659922221548044292, #851309088293126145, #951270958830866482, #pogo-chat and #929925209060962324

There are more channels where you can gain XP but these arent meant to chat it them. Also, Im not sure, but I think you only gain XP once a minute so spamming won't work

[narrow ermine]

What ones do you type

[nimble swan]

Im not very active in the mentioned channels, but I recommend #659922221548044292 since there are the most people

[leaden swift]

is Alpha working again

ok thanks

[nimble swan]

?guide

[mellow solar]

what would be good to help be best bea?

[brazen hollow]

i have a thing i have to ask about lapris bot is not always correct some times if you ask for male you will get female and if you ask for a female you could get a male

[frank night]

Question do the bot take that long to send a pokemon?

[nimble swan]

No, but you're are in a queue and the people being a lower position in the queue than you will be served first

[nimble swan]

Can you explain the question, because I dont understand even the slightest bit?

[mellow solar]

what pokémon could hell me beat trainer bea

[nimble swan]

Gardevoir or any other psychic type or Pokemon with a psychic move in its move pool. Also please just ask server related questions in this channel, because thats what it should be used for :)

?guide

[frank night]

I'm still very confused

[nimble swan]

@naive garnet First link is for swsh, sexond one for pla

[zealous oasis]

@naive garnet
Watch this

?guide

[naive garnet]

Thank you !

[nimble swan]

Duuuuuude, I just did that

Bruh

[zealous oasis]

Sorry 😞

[nimble swan]

Happens

[naive garnet]

Lol

[nimble swan]

[mellow solar]

ohhh okay thanks

[nimble swan]

I dont know how to explain it. There are many people requesting pokemon, thats why there is a queue because the bot needs time to trade with every person. Every person who requested a pokemon has a position in this queue and you get your pokemon when your the first in the queue. You can check your position by typing .qs in the bot channel

[rotund swan]

can you change the pokeball and name of the pokèmon in #swordshield-bot

[buoyant thistle]

I dont believe so 😅

[rotund swan]

Yea you can, check pins in #swordshield-bot

And name of pokemon can be given on the showdown site

[mellow solar]

can anyone help me make my Lucario level 100 listen to me and not just nap mid battle?

i have a level 100 lucario and i haven’t won against bea yet so that prob why 😅

so should i try for a level 50? when i can use the bot next

[teal locust]

Is there a way to get something that isntl lvl 100 and is there a way to make the pokemon alpha?

For pokemon arceus

Ty

Anything for alpha?

[mortal wagon]

It's been over 2 hours from when I last attempted to trade the bot, and it still dosen

't find me*

I am online on the ycomm and it's blue, I have good wifi, along with having the code correctly put in. So I don't know what to do-

[copper vapor]

Hi

[zealous oasis]

@copper vapor
Watch this

?guide

[copper vapor]

K

[sinful ridge]

I tried to trade twice with the swprd and shield gengar and both times it couldnt find me

[frank night]

I'm still very confused

[rotund swan]

You got a nintendo switch online membership?

[rotund swan]

About?

[sinful ridge]

Yes

[frank night]

About why the bots taking a while

[rotund swan]

Does it look like this when you search?

[sinful ridge]

Yep

[rotund swan]

Because there’s a long line

[frank night]

Oh okay

[rotund swan]

All i can advise is to stand in a pokemon center next time during your trade and only type in the code when it says “Initializing trade…”

[sinful ridge]

Alright both the times i had it already put in before

[rotund swan]

It’s better if you wait until it says Initializing because that’s when the bot will actually start to search for you

[brave silo]

Can i cancel being in a queue?

[rotund swan]

ya

.qc

[nimble swan]

@teal locust You're using the wrong bot. You requested an obvious swsh pokemon in #940357499297615902. Please make sure to read the channel name or the sticky message to prevent mistakes like this because doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role

[teal locust]

I didn know rayquaza wasnt in arceus

[nimble swan]

@noble rampart Try -Hisui (capitalized level)
Add a line with Level:
For example:

.trade Garchomp
Level: 89

[teal locust]

;-;

[noble rampart]

How do I get a specific level on a mon

Ty

[nimble swan]

Im just warning you, Im no staff so I cant do anything haha Its just so you know :)

[nimble swan]

Oh lord, sorry. I didnt see it. Its Zoroark, you typed Zoarak

[noble rampart]

Ah I spelt it wrong thanks lmao

[nimble swan]

@copper vapor I dont hate you thats why I tell you that the request is supposed to look like this:

.trade Zamazenta
Shiny: Yes

[copper vapor]

How do you get the second thing underneath

Like the shiny tag

[nimble swan]

Are you on mobile or PC/Laptop?

[copper vapor]

There’s no return button on mobile

So mobile

.trade Zamazenta
Shiny: Yes

[nimble swan]

The problem is, I cant say much because I have a button to
Do
This

[copper vapor]

.trade Zamazenta
Shiny: Yes

Like this

[nimble swan]

I mean, you could also use Pokemon Showdown where the format of the message is perfect for #swordshield-bot

[nimble swan]

Yes

[copper vapor]

Alright

[nimble swan]

@brave silo You need a seperate line for each, so it should look like this
.trade Sylveon
Shiny: Yes
Level: 100
Also the Level: 100 isnt really necessary since it will be always level 100 if you dont request a different level

@rotund swan Legendarys/Mythicals cant be shiny or alpha in PLA

@neon geyser Fused Pokemon cant be traded. You need to request them separately and then fuse them ingame

[severe venture]

um i just joined this server and i was tryna look for how i can do commands in bdsp bot i looked in most channels maybe i missed something? im not sure but idk how to get in

[neon geyser]

Ok

[nimble swan]

And YouTube-Members. Or not anymore?

[late kindle]

I just joined the server and I clicked the wrong trade bot how do I change it?

[nimble swan]

@last dawn Its Moltres-Galar but its still not able to be generated in shiny

[nimble swan]

Just click on the other one? There is #swordshield-bot and #940357499297615902. The name should be clear enough for which game each one is

[late kindle]

I was trying to click swordshield-lapras

[nimble swan]

@plucky willow You were using the wrong bot. You requested an obvious swsh pokemon in #940357499297615902. Please make sure to read the channel name or the sticky message to prevent mistakes like this because doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role

[nimble swan]

The Lapras bots are only for Patreon-Subscriber or Premium-Member

[late kindle]

Oh okay

[nimble swan]

@past viper Please dont use Showdown for #940357499297615902. Its not the proper format of the message. Doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role

@marsh osprey You need to add -Hisui behind the Pokemon for the regional variant so it should be

.trade Typhlosion-Hisui
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes

@pure skiff The capitalization of the letter H in -Hisui matters

[brave silo]

ah yes thanks

[nimble swan]

@crimson rose Is there a chance that you meant to get Zapdos-Galar?

[crimson rose]

Yes, just never generated one before and wasn't sure if that was necessary.

Thanks!

[austere crag]

Why did it cancel my trade I had the correct number in and it just canceled it for no reason

[nimble swan]

?slow

The second part is more important for you

[austere crag]

I have online and when the bot sent the message saying initializing trade I put it in but it just canceled

[nimble swan]

Did you also activated the internet via Y-Comm? I have to ask, since it happened quite a few times that people think they did but actually didnt

[austere crag]

Yes it's activated

I had everything ready

[nimble swan]

Alright, in that case it helps standing in a Pokemon Center when you search for the trade as well as make sure to have a good wifi signal

[austere crag]

Ok I'll try that

[nimble swan]

@timid fractal The command is .trade so it should look like this

.trade Carracosta @ Leftovers
Ability: Swift Swim
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Rash Nature

• Hydro Pump
• Ice Beam
• Stone Edge
• Rain Dance

[prime shadow]

hey can you guys type in the gengar bot

[nimble swan]

@buoyant gull Zygarde-Complete isnt tradable. You need a regular Zygarde with the Ability Power Construct so it will transforn in battle after having less than 50% life into its Complete form

[nimble swan]

Yes, every person without the "bot banned"-role can

[prime shadow]

wait so if you have bot banned you cant

[nimble swan]

Yes

[prime shadow]

i have it but i dont know how

[nimble swan]

A staff member gave you the role because, thats just an assumption, you used the Pokemon Showdown message format for #940357499297615902 which isnt allowed

[prime shadow]

and how do i get rid of it

[nimble swan]

That's the funny part, you dont

[prime shadow]

so i cant use gengar bot

[nimble swan]

Its in most cases permanent and due to your logs I think it will stay

[prime shadow]

bruh

[nimble swan]

Give me a second to find the message

[prime shadow]

ok thqnks

[nimble swan]

I cant find it, but I could have sworn I read that

[prime shadow]

well can you tell me how i abused the bots so i know

[nimble swan]

And that isnt even all

I have to ask. Is it possible to gen shiny Legendarys/Mythicals now with #940357499297615902? I earlier saw a request with a shiny Palkia being accepted and now a Shaymin

Still important to know since I always add that they cant be shiny. Thanks for the answer, now I can say it correctly in future

[mellow solar]

i asked for a level 50 gardevoir and got level 100, can you only get level 100 pokémon from the bot?

[nimble swan]

Heres a screenshot of the pinned message

[mellow solar]

sorry

[nimble swan]

No need to be sorry :)

[teal locust]

How do i get a shiny alolan vulpix

[nimble swan]

.trade Vulpix-Alola
Shiny: Yes

[teal locust]

Ty

[nimble swan]

@steel crest Calyrex is shiny locked. There's a list with all shiny locked Pokemon in the pins of #swordshield-bot

[mellow solar]

which code will i have to put in?

[midnight snow]

that’s what i’m asking as well

what happens w 2 codes

[tight prawn]

Where's my regieleki D:

@unique cairn can you tell me what happened to my regieleki

[teal locust]

How do i make jt a certian levelin arceus

[rotund swan]

You didn’t try it yet

you only tried making it alpha and shiny with no level

unless you deleted your message

[tight prawn]

Nvm

It finally gave it

[silent hemlock]

You’re impatient

[teal locust]

It deleted itself

How do i do levels

[silent hemlock]

What deleted itself?

Levels for what?

[rotund swan]

Bruh

You are doing it right

the reason the message deleted itself was because you got added to the queue

[teal locust]

Ik

But it gave me a lvl 100

[rotund swan]

Are you able to get a vulpix at level 40 normally?

[teal locust]

Idk

[rotund swan]

It will only work if you choose a level that you can normally catch that pokemon at in the game

[idle portal]

can you cancel your spot in the queue?

[teal locust]

Wdym?

[rotund swan]

.qc

[teal locust]

I can control lvl40 pokemon

[idle portal]

thx

[rotund swan]

Like you can’t get a level 1 dialga or something because you can’t catch a dialga at level 1 normally

Idk what the earliest you can get alolan vulpix is, i would just look it up. but regardless, you’re doing the level correctly in your request

[merry heart]

.trade Scizor
Shiny: Yes
Level: 40 when I do this it gives me a level 100 one every time

[rotund swan]

uh

i’m lost then idk

someone smarter than me can answer that

[midnight snow]

how do you know when your code is ready to use

will you get a message for it or?

[nimble pebble]

I asked for a shiny rayquaza and I got a regular rayquaza what

I just wasted 50m of my life

Sorry

[rotund swan]

Lmao

Also so we do have to wait the estimated time frame for the pokèmon to be generated right?

Just a reassurance question

[nimble swan]

In most cases it takes a bit longer

[rotund swan]

Where is the bot?

[nimble swan]

#940357499297615902 and #swordshield-bot

The answer is 42

[rotund swan]

Okay thank you so much

[scarlet birch]

can this bot trade shinylocked pokemon?

[sacred shell]

(.)trade pokémon name
shiny: yes or no
level:

[nimble swan]

No

[sacred shell]

without the () obviously

[scarlet birch]

is hisuian samorott shinylocked?

[nimble swan]

Its not. You can get every Pokemon as shiny excpet Arceus in #940357499297615902. I dont know why Arceus wont work

[scarlet birch]

that's interesting

[rotund swan]

Bc he's the God pokémon

[scarlet birch]

thanks

[rotund swan]

Lol jk

[teal locust]

I have shiny arceus

[rose island]

Will the trading bot tell you when it’s ready?

[nimble swan]

Yes

[rose island]

Thx for answering means a lot

[nimble swan]

It will send you another message when its initializing the trade :)

[rose island]

K thx 🙂

[nimble swan]

@zinc spoke In case you didnt see the message from the bot: You need to enable private messages on the server because the gengar bot has to send you dms with your trading code and when its initializing the trade

@karmic warren Its Ninetails-Alola

[karmic warren]

Thanks!

[nimble swan]

@brazen seal You need to enable private messages on the server first because gengar bot has to send you your trade code as well as when its initializing the trade

[brazen seal]

Thanks i didnt know how to

[nimble swan]

Are you on mobile, because then I can explain you how, if you still need help with it

Seems like you figured it out :)

[brazen seal]

Ye i did but thanks 👍

[nimble swan]

@feral inlet Fused Pokemon cant be traded. Sadly, you have to request them separately and fuse them ingame yourself

[native summit]

in #swordshield-bot it says "the following pokemon are not obtainable" in one of the pinned messages but there is a category called "Shiny Locked" what does that mean? im very dumb

[covert crane]

Shiny Locked Pokemon are Pokemon that are coded to never be shiny through their encounters and can only be obtained through hacking

[native summit]

alr ty

[covert crane]

yw

[nimble swan]

@errant wave Its Decidueye-Hisui. Same is with other regional hisuian variant :)

[errant wave]

ohhh

thx

[native summit]

this might have been asked, but for the pokemon trader things, how to we do a gmax pokemon? im not very familiar with this type of stuff

[craggy otter]

Is there a way of getting Shiny Eternatus?

[craggy otter]

Not even as an Event?

Damn

[nimble swan]

You can choose the option on Showdown, add a line with Gigantamax: Yes or add -Gmax behind the Pokemon species

[native summit]

alr ty

[nimble swan]

@wintry pine If you want to cancel your trade, type .qc

@proud ingot Iirc then shiny Zeraora has to be Level 100 to fit its event

@magic adder Fused Pokemon can't be traded. You need to request both seperately and fuse them yourself with the required item

[wintry pine]

How do u set a Pokémon a certain lvl?

[magic adder]

how do you fuse necrozma and lunala?

in pokemon sword

[nimble swan]

Add a line with Level: x
For example:

.trade Garchomp
Level: 79

[nimble swan]

After you got both, put them in your team and go to stow-on-side. There should be merchant right after the Pokemom Center. If you talk to him, he will give you the item you need to fuse them

[magic adder]

ok thank you

[wheat oracle]

how do i do galarian pokemon

like articuno

[nimble swan]

.trade Articuno-Galar

[wheat oracle]

thanks

[silent hemlock]

?slow

[nimble swan]

@unborn vapor You need to add -Hisui to the Pokemon with regional variants like Goodra, so its Goodra-Hisui :)

[rotund swan]

Also I have another question.
If you add another trade entry, which I did bc I didn't know it was one at a time. Do I use the new code or the og one it gave me??

[unborn vapor]

Thank you

.trade Goodra-Hisui
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

[nimble swan]

Exactly like that

[unborn vapor]

Thank you

[nimble swan]

Did you cancelled a trade and requested a new one?

[rotund swan]

No just requested a new one.

[nimble swan]

Oh, so you got the Pokemon and now requested a new one? If thats the case, then you use the new code

[rotund swan]

I'm still in queue of the one Im waiting for still. But now it sent me a new code telling me " sorry I'm still in queue" then another code was sent along with that message

Use the code that it gives when it’s your turn and sends the dm saying “Initializing trade…”

Okay cool thanks so much I just wanted to make sure haha

[wintry pine]

Is it possible to choose what ball you want for the Pokémon in the trade?

[opal quest]

Why am I’m not able to use the bdsp bot

[silent hemlock]

#bdsp-bot is a patreon exclusive channel

[opal quest]

So do I support the Patreon to get access?

[silent hemlock]

@spare spruce

[spare spruce]

Hi

Watch this

[spare spruce]

Ok

#click-me

[wintry pine]

How do u get hisui typhlosion

[rotund swan]

.trade Typhlosion-Hisui

[scarlet birch]

in arceus what pokeball do the traded pokemon come in?

[silent hemlock]

It’s kind of random/whatever the bot thinks suits it best

[scarlet birch]

oh because it was one I haven't seen before

[silent hemlock]

What ball was it?

[scarlet birch]

it's a light blue to white gradient

[scarlet birch]

yea the middle top one

[silent hemlock]

Oh cool

That’s a strange ball

So that means the Pokémon came from Pokémon home

[scarlet birch]

oh ok thanks

[silent hemlock]

@cosmic mirage check your spelling and formatting

It’s just
.trade Arceus

That’s all you need

@rotund swan charizard won’t be in PLA no matter how many times you request it

@rotund swan can you send the exact format that you requested?

[rotund swan]

I said

.trade shinx
shiny: yes
Gender: male
Nature:Brave

[silent hemlock]

Capitals matter

[tropic fable]

Level?

[silent hemlock]

Hold up and I’ll give you a format

[silent hemlock]

Legends or SWSH?

[rotund swan]

20 I just forgot to type it in this chat

[silent hemlock]

Because you’ve requested in both

[rotund swan]

Swsh

[silent hemlock]

[rotund swan]

Wdym?

[silent hemlock]

.trade Shinx (M)
Ability: Rivalry
Level: 20
Shiny: Yes
Docile Nature

• Tackle
• Leer

Here

[rotund swan]

Ty

[silent hemlock]

@rotund swan couple of things…

First, you forgot .trade at the start

[rotund swan]

Oh right lmao

[silent hemlock]

Second, stop requesting Pokémon in a game you aren’t playing!

@vast fern use showdown for the format in SWSH. Don’t try and fill in the blanks yourself.

@flint tusk it’s “Cresselia”

[native summit]

can somebody tell me whats wrong with this trade request?
.trade Yvetal @ Leftovers
Ability: Dark Aura
Shiny: Yes
Level: 100

• Hyper Beam
• Oblivion Wing
• Dragon Rush
• Dark Pulse
  it says something about an invalid index but im not sure whats wrong

[rotund swan]

you are spelling yveltal wrong

[craggy otter]

Is there a way to make the Pokémons less OP

[rotund swan]

Like level wise?

[craggy otter]

No

The stats are way higher than what they should be

[rotund swan]

for swsh?

[craggy otter]

Arceus

Idk about swsh

[rotund swan]

if you have a computer you can use pkhex to change that stuff

otherwise it will always have perfect stats or whatever

[craggy otter]

Can I get banned cuz of it?

In Pokémon home

[rotund swan]

no, the pokemon are still legal to use and have

[craggy otter]

Ty

[native summit]

oh lol im just dumb

[thorn jetty]

the trader still isnt working for me and bob the hairy cow. keeps saying it cant find our trainers

[silk zodiac]

I can’t get a hisuian typhlosion in arceus for some reason

[fallow raptor]

.trade Lopunny
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

Oops

[silk zodiac]

Nvm finally got it

[paper barn]

I put the correct link code in but the trade never started?

This happened twice now

[paper barn]

Yeah this is what's happening to me too

[rotund swan]

Where do I go for pokemon arcaes pokemon

[mint hill]

man still cant trade.

[stray timber]

How do I do the trade command

[sinful ridge]

What pokemon arent available for trade in sword and shield

[silent hemlock]

Check the pins in #swordshield-bot

[sinful ridge]

K

Thanks

[silent hemlock]

[wintry pine]

Is bdsp trade only for lapras?

[mellow solar]

any team ideas?

[pliant prism]

this channel is for server related questions, try asking that somewhere like #951270958830866482

[mellow solar]

oh ok

[modern leaf]

Can anyone tell me why my dittos came hypertrained and not 6iv? I tried searching without any luck.

[nimble swan]

Download the file, attach it to the message, write .trade in the textbox and send it. It should trade a shiny 6IV Ditto to you then

[modern leaf]

Trying it now thanks. Can you set the nature anywhere using that?

[nimble swan]

Erm, you need to open the file in PKHeX and then edit it

[modern leaf]

Ahhh ok cheers. I was just using the basic showdown copy paste.

[nimble swan]

@tranquil current Electrode-Hisui
Same goes for every other hisuian variant

[nimble swan]

@unique cairn #763131979565629510 seems to be down. Just so you know

[slow garden]

why is it not trading shinies when im specifying shiny?

[rotund swan]

That’s weird. I just got a shiny

[devout tree]

what level are the traded pokémon?

okay thank you

[slow garden]

it might just be cause im on mobile and a noob lmao

[rotund swan]

I’m doing everything on mobile then going to my switch

[nimble swan]

I dont know if capitalization and stuff still matters since the bot developers seemed to change a lot, but one way it will definitely come out as a shiny is to write it like that
Example:
.trade Garchomp
Shiny: Yes

[slow garden]

heard, i will give that a shot!

[nimble swan]

Aight, if pinging three people gets me a timeout. I have to do it a different way

@slow garden Please dont use Showdown for #940357499297615902. Its not the proper format of the message. Doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role. Pokemon cant hold items in the game as well as most moves displayed on Showdown arent in the game, causing most requests to fail because they are illegal

[nimble swan]

@long river Read the message Im replying to, since this counts for you as well

[nimble swan]

@chrome phoenix You should also read the message Im replying to

@rose island Fused pokemon cant be traded. You need to get both forms separately and fuse them ingame yourself with the required item

[rose island]

I never knew thanks for the info man

[slow garden]

@nimble swan i see, sorry i was getting some help from someone and thats the format they sent me, and i guess its for swsh and not PLA, my mistake!

[nimble swan]

It's all good, no worries. Just wanted to let you know that if you do it repeatedly then a staff member might bot ban you

[slow garden]

@nimble swan hopefully not i just got here today that would suck😂 everyone in here so friendly and willing to be helpful its very refreshing

[nimble swan]

If you have any further questions about the bots, feel free to ask in here. That's what the channel is about :)

@long river I dont like to repeat myself and yet still I have to. Showdown is not the proper format for #940357499297615902 so stop using it unless you want to get bot banned

@rugged pasture Same is for you, just without the repeat myself part

@rotund swan Please dont use Showdown for #940357499297615902. Its not the proper format of the message. Doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role. Pokemon cant hold items in the game as well as most moves displayed on Showdown arent in the game, causing most requests to fail because they are illegal

@wanton sail You have been informed already, so purposely doing it again makes you stand on thin ice right now

@rocky aspen Please dont use Showdown for #940357499297615902. Its not the proper format of the message. Doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role. Pokemon cant hold items in the game as well as most moves displayed on Showdown arent in the game, causing most requests to fail

@fathom egret
.trade Lopunny (F)
Replace the F with an M if you want it to be male

@rocky aspen You already have been informed to not use Showdown for #940357499297615902 and you're still doing it. You're playing with fire right now

@rotund swan Even if you deleted the message, I still saw your Umbreon request made with Showdown even tho you have been told to not use it

I really try my best to prevent them from getting banned and help them, but they dont seem to care. Rather request the same again that already failed to get genned

@rotund swan Im sorry to tell you, but fused Pokemon cant be traded. You have to request them separately and fuse them ingame with the required item

[rocky aspen]

hello council or anyone else Can you please unban me from legends Gengar and sword-shield Gengar I tried to order a pokemon so I can beat volo but it did not work and I did not see the messages to stop and I did not thoroughly read the rules I promise I will read them and follow them correctly Im extremly sorry to my sincerist apologies

thank you

[wintry pine]

Does anyone know what .convert do?

[nimble swan]

You can use the command in #940357499297615902 so the bot will create a legal file which you can use to trade

@fallow raptor For hisuian variants you need to type it like the following:
.trade Zorua-Hisui

[thorny lodge]

How do you use the bots it wont let me

Like the trade bots

[thorny lodge]

How do i get un bot banned

As far as i can recall i never did anything to get banned

Im sorry i didnt know

[nimble swan]

The rule to not use Showdown is in the pins of #940357499297615902 and the name of the channel basically tells you for which game it is

[thorny lodge]

I stupidly assumed it was the same roles for the channel becuase i didnt read them

[nimble swan]

Yet still that is your fault. You should have read them, as well as the pins

@zealous quest If you want a shiny Zacian, then it has to be Level 100 to fit its event :) [Nvm]

[cinder raven]

My friend got a Shiny Regieleki by a Mystery trade and with a trainer name that gets to this sv can Ik how that works? I mean I saw a that bot and I mean that's not kinda illegal?? ;-;?

[nimble swan]

[zealous quest]

@nimble swan preciate it im just tryna finish the sword exclusives

[cinder raven]

Ty

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan Fused Pokemon cant be traded. You sadly have to request both separately and then fuse them ingame with the required item

@surreal tapir You're using the wrong bot. You requested an obvious swsh pokemon in #940357499297615902. Please make sure to read the channel name or the sticky message to prevent mistakes like this because doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role

@hearty oriole Read the message above this one here since it also counts for you

Sorry, @surreal tapir for you its not the wrong bot. Its Showdown, please stop using it since its the wrong format

[hearty oriole]

Idk the Pokémon in each though I'm sorry but I honestly just guessing

[nimble swan]

Then look it up in the internet, please. Its no excuse if you dont know it

@surreal tapir I told you to stop using Showdown. You dont do yourself a favor by ignoring it and keep on using the bot not properly. Your own fault ...

[dry iris]

How do you use the sword shield gengar bot i dont wanna get banned and was curious

Thank you

[nimble swan]

@lapis bobcat Please dont use Showdown for #940357499297615902. Its not the proper format of the message. Doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role

@hearty oriole If you want the Pokemon which are only available as Hisuian variant you have to add -Hisui behind the Pokemon species, so it should look like this :)
.trade Decidueye-Hisui

[hearty oriole]

Ty sm

[nimble swan]

I saw you requesting it in #swordshield-bot ... start to read the channel name or at least the sticky message inside of the channel, for gods sake

[analog widget]

Do I need Nintendo switch online for the bots to work

[long river]

What should you use to make Pokémon to trade

[livid roost]

The bot is confusing

[rotund swan]

what’s confusing about it

[livid roost]

When I type something for arcues it says this is only for arcues

[rotund swan]

what you’re reading is a sticky message

that has nothing to do with your request

?guide

[livid roost]

Ohhhh

[rotund swan]

just watch the guide

[livid roost]

Thank you so much

[granite rune]

Is the sword and shield bot down? Or am I putting something in wrong

Ok, my bad

[rotund swan]

ur good

[silent hemlock]

Bet

[scarlet birch]

on the arceus bot what would I input to get a shiny lvl 1 oshawott?

[rotund swan]

.trade Oshawott
Shiny: Yes
Level: 1

[scarlet birch]

Ok thanks

[scarlet birch]

my trade was canceled due to suspicious activity, did I do something wrong??

[nimble swan]

@narrow river Even tho its been 20+ minutrs since your last request, I still want to say it so you know for the future. Please dont use Showdown for #940357499297615902. Its not the proper format of the message. Doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role

[nimble swan]

This happens when you either use two Discord accounts to trade to one save file or use one Discord account to trade to two save files. Also after 2h you should be able to trade again

[scarlet birch]

oh ok, I traded to a main account using this account and I wanted to start a new one but with a shiny starter. is there any way to get around it or do I just gotta deal with it

[nimble swan]

With the suspicious activity thing? As I said, in two hours trades should be possible again

[scarlet birch]

will I get trade banned again if I do it afterwards?

or can I only trade to the first account

[nimble swan]

No, but if you trade to a second save file again it will probably fail due to suspicious activity again

[nimble swan]

I think that is the case

[scarlet birch]

ok, will I get flagged if I make an alt discord account and trade to the new pokemon account?

I'm pretty sure that's not ok but I wanna check

[nimble swan]

Alts are not allowed on the server, sorry. I dont even think in that case

[scarlet birch]

it's not ur fault, I just want to make sure I'm not breaking any rules

in 2 hours can I trade to my main, then trade that pokemon to the alt?

[nimble swan]

If Im not completely lost due to my tiredness then you can trade it to your main, transfer it then to home and from there to the second account

Home should have 30 slots for Pokemon in the free version

[scarlet birch]

Ok thanks

[nimble swan]

@warm flicker Simce you want the hisuian variants, you have to add -Hisui behind the Pokemon species so it looks like this as example
.trade Zoroark-Hisui

@spice ridge The correct command is .trade, so it should look like this
.trade Lycanroc-Midnight (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Keen Eye
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 80 HP / 80 Atk / 100 Def / 92 SpA / 72 SpD / 68 Spe

• Close Combat
• Play Rough
• Earth Power
• Foul Play

@novel trellis Its Shedinja

[scarlet birch]

wait can this bot make pokerus pokemon?

[nimble swan]

@dapper nexus Please dont use Showdown for #940357499297615902. Its not the proper format of the message. Doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role

[nimble swan]

I've never tried it out but I think it should definitely possible with PKHeX. I dont know if there's a line you could add or how it looks like if there is one

@brave flint you need the command .trade and Shiny: Yes needs to be in a separate line so it looks like this
.trade Mew
Shiny: Yes

[brave flint]

Ok

[dapper nexus]

Oh I’m sorry I didn’t know

[nimble swan]

It's all good, just please don't use it in the future

@flint tusk Cyndaquil
So only one l at the end

[granite rune]

Question, it said no trainer found when I asked for my necrozma, I put in the code right and everything

Oh wait, nvm, the pins answered my questions#

Question

[nimble swan]

Damn, I never thought I will witness this day ...

@rotund swan Iirc then the event Gmax Melmetal was Level 100, so your request has to be Level 100 too

[rotund swan]

ok thanks

[nimble swan]

@valid roost Shiny: Yes needs to be in a separate line so it looks like this
.trade Munchlax
Shiny: Yes

[valid roost]

I can’t move it down

[valid roost]

Ok

[nimble pebble]

?guide

[merry heart]

The queues and getting so long lmao

[valid roost]

<@&872619569037049867> for legends Arceus do you need to get every pokemons resarch level to 10 for Arceus

Ok

[severe venture]

question can you break your chain when doing the mesuda method by trading??

oh okie ty

[south talon]

is this bot for generation 6 and 7 or just switch games?(and plat)

[static blaze]

just swsh bdsp and pla

[sharp nymph]

I put the code in correctly but it says no trainer found. Anyone know why?

[tawny sand]

No

[scarlet birch]

so I waited the 2 hours for the suspicious activity and it canceled again, does that mean I'm banned for another 2 hours?

[latent shuttle]

nah but if you want the shiny charm you can get that w/ lvl 10 research

[valid roost]

Yea I know that just wondering if it was the same for Arceus

[latent shuttle]

as someoje who got lvl 10 research on everything, ngl not worth it

[noble rampart]

Who won’t my Lickylicky trade work

[rotund swan]

I just saw your video and wondered where to put my trade in with Gengar bot

[thorn jetty]

Im pairing up with perfect timing

[thorn jetty]

and yet it still cant find me

[fair crown]

can I do the bot trades without an online membership on switch? I dont really want to pay for a membership lol

I see, so there's no way around it at all?

[rich marlin]

How do I to the command on iOS for sword and shield

??

[rotund swan]

How do I know when my trade is ready

[rotund swan]

5 minutes past trade time is that normal?

ok

thanks

am i doing something wrong with the bot im asking for alphas but im only getting regulars

[static blaze]

just make sure you’re formatting it correctly. should be either:

.trade Zorua-Hisui
Alpha: Yes
Shiny: Yes

or

.trade Zorua-Hisui
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

[rotund swan]

Thank you!

[oak prawn]

how do i enable messages it says I need to

[sonic jay]

i have the same issue as cheese

[static blaze]

go into your settings on discord and under privacy you should be able to turn on private messages

[oak prawn]

ok

What does index out of range mean

[static blaze]

it means that format/pokémon isn’t correct. try doing your request again but add a break between the lines. like

.Trade Bidoof
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

[oak prawn]

Ohhh thank you

[errant wave]

is there pkmn lets go?

[static blaze]

not for a bot here

[oak prawn]

can you check your time

like if it has gone down

[static blaze]

yes type .qs in the channel you’re queued in

[oak prawn]

ok

[faint tapir]

How do you work the sword and shield bot? Im new to this stuff

[static blaze]

?guide

[static blaze]

watch the top linked video for help

[formal ledge]

Why is my wait so long in arcues bot?

12 min wait

Alr ig

[deft yoke]

how do i ask for a pokemon in legend of arceus?

ok

[outer tundra]

So when I do the code for sword and shield and I wait my time and when it’s ready it doenst pick up the trade and it ends up cancelling anyway in fixing this?

[obtuse iron]

Is it possible to get items (such as the items for the enhanced forms of Zacian and Zamazenta)?

[rotund swan]

yes

[errant wave]

is there a lets go bot?

[silver hare]

are you able to choose levels and give the pokemon items? if so what would i type in?

[rotund swan]

if you’re referring to sword/shield, just add a separate line for the level like:

Level: x

You can give the pokemon an item in pokemon showdown

you can also change the level in showdown so just do it there if you plan to be specific and such with things atop of the level

[silver hare]

thank you ill try it soon

[wooden mason]

why wont the gengar trade work for me?

[rotund swan]

I can’t tell you unless you give me more specifics on the error you’re getting

[fleet night]

i seen the tiktok

[zealous oasis]

@fleet night
Watch this

?guide

[wooden mason]

i put in the code and it just doesnt initiate the trade

its probably my fault but idk

[rotund swan]

do you have a nintendo switch online membership?

[wooden mason]

no

thats probably the issue then

[rotund swan]

yea it is. you need one to perform an “online trade”

[wooden mason]

right

well thanks then

[sly hollow]

Do we need Nintendo online to receive the Pokémon?

[grim forge]

Yes, there’s a free one week trial in eshop if you haven’t redeemed it iirc

[sly hollow]

I need credit card info sadly

[red kestrel]

how do you get a shiny

[shell radish]

On the arcues bot can you pick any level for the Pokémon?

[red kestrel]

tysm

[gaunt sapphire]

So If I were to use the swsh Lapras bot on another save file but on the same discord account will it still work or will it not deu to "suspicious activity"

[bronze prism]

is there a way to do bdsp

[proud owl]

ok

is because my rayquazas level was too low?

thx

can you please help me get this rayquaza

ok

so would this LARVITAR work?

Larvitar @ Master Ball
Level: 20
Ability: Guts
EVs: 164 HP / 120 Atk / 52 Def / 68 SpA / 44 SpD / 60 Spe

• Tackle
• Rock Slide
• Brick Break
• Muddy Water

[west comet]

My real question is…can this server give A shiny antique sinistea

Also can you select which ball the Pokémon in in like in the Sw/Sh gengar

[nimble swan]

.trade Polteageist-Antique
Ball: Master Ball

With the line Ball: you can decide which ball its in

[west comet]

Thanks so much, cuz in showdown it doesn’t show how to select the form

[sonic jay]

the arceus one is so hard to use... is it .trade Darkrai
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

or the old way like this Eevee (F)
Ability: Run Away
Level: 10
Shiny: Yes
IVs: 0 Atk

[nimble swan]

Legendarys/Mythicals cant be Alpha and the first way is the correct one :)

[sonic jay]

thank you!

but do i add these as well?
Ability: Run Away
Level: 10
Shiny: Yes
IVs: 0 Atk

[nimble swan]

Its simpler to use the first system, just keep in mind that Legendarys/Mythicals cant be Alpha and idk why but the bot still struggles to do a Shiny Arceus tho

@urban scroll Its Typhlosion-Hisui
Same is for every other hisuian variant :)

[urban scroll]

Oh ok, thanks

Yeah i was kinda confused

[frozen bison]

where do i share my friendcode?

[nimble swan]

The Nintendo Switch Friendcode or a PoGo Friendcode?

@prime spear Its Zorua-Hisui
The -Hisui works for every hisuian variant

[rich sun]

Froggi had a good question can you change the level of the pokemon you receive in trade

[nimble swan]

@high snow Just add a line with Level:
For examlple
.trade Garchomp
Level: 89

[prime spear]

Thank you so much

[rich sun]

Thanks

[high snow]

oh thanks sorry i didn’t see the questions channel 😅

[nimble swan]

@tepid knoll The correct command is.trade

@willow sandal The H in -Hisui has to be capitalized

@tepid knoll You're using the wrong bot. You requested an obvious swsh pokemon in #940357499297615902. Please make sure to read the channel name or the sticky message to prevent mistakes like this because doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role

[willow sandal]

thanks

[nimble swan]

@rotund swan You're using the wrong bot. You requested an obvious swsh pokemon in #940357499297615902. Please make sure to read the channel name or the sticky message to prevent mistakes like this because doing it repeatedly will earn you the bot banned role

[nimble swan]

@tepid knoll You've been told that the correct command is .trade and also that you should stop using the wrong bot. If you keep on doing that, you'll get bot banned

[rich sun]

What all can I change in the trades

[nimble swan]

@ebon knot Marshadow is shiny locked. Look in the pins of #swordshield-bot there's a list with all shiny locked pokemon

[ebon knot]

Oh ok thx

[nimble swan]

From what I spontaneously know for PLA: Nickname, Gender, Ball, OT, TID, SID, Level, Alpha, Shiny

[rich sun]

What's TID

And SID

[nimble swan]

TID = Trainer ID
SID = Secret ID
Both are necessary to make it work. TID is basically the number that is shown when you look in a Pokemons report and SID is just there so the pokemon will count as caught by you and will obey if you dont have the required batch to make it obey you since its traded

[rich sun]

Is the trainer ID what they used in the lottery stuff

[nimble swan]

I think so, but here's a picture where the TID is shown (stole it from #✨shiny-flex)

[willow sandal]

what do i type if i want a shiny?

nvm

[pastel vessel]

can you name a pokemon?

after its traded to you?

[nimble swan]

After its traded, its not possible. But you can choose a nickname before it will be traded to you, it looks like this then
.trade Chompi (Garchomp)

[pastel vessel]

thanks

[rotund swan]

Link patreon

follow those steps ^

[pastel vessel]

i tried to get a zamazenta shiny with rusted shield but it just was a normal zamazenta without the shield?

[rotund swan]

could you put here what exactly you requested?

[pastel vessel]

.trade zamazanta @ Rusted Shield
shiny: yes

[rotund swan]

try this

.trade Zamazenta @ Rusted Shield
Ability: Dauntless Shield
Shiny: Yes

[pastel vessel]

k i will thank you

[outer tundra]

Same happened with me and idk why it’s not working for any of mine now

[rotund swan]

Why won’t the bot trade me decidueye

if it’s from a certain region u have to add it in the pokemon name

like Decidueye-Alola

or -Hisui

[feral hawk]

Does all the Pokémon have to be level 100?

[rotund swan]

@rotund swan

[rotund swan]

no, it can be changed by adding a separate line,

Level: x

[loud rain]

Is there a complete example command for the bots?

[feral hawk]

Gotcha thank you! Is also copy and pasting the stuff from Pokémon showdown work too?

[rotund swan]

It’s still not working

How it did

[rotund swan]

you didn’t listen

-Hisui

Decidueye-Hisui

I mean now it did

Stupid autocorrect

oh okay

my b

what’s the difference between the 2 bots?

lapras has a much shorter line

usually no wait time

ohhh

and one question, i’m new to arceus, just bought a nintendo switch. do you have to be a certain level to trade?

i think you just need to make it to a certain point in the game

you talk to a woman named Simona in the main area

it’s pretty early on

ah

tysm , great support. have a good one

[silver hare]

is there a list of commands like IVs and stuff?

[rotund swan]

you can change that in pokemon showdown

?showdown

[elder oriole]

@left sedge Why am I bot banned, I didn't do anything!

@rotund swan Why am I bot banned, I didn't do anything!

[lavish herald]

you definitely did you used pokémon showdown like 20 times in legends gengar

[rotund swan]

What does that mean

[elder oriole]

oh

Well i didn't now it was legends lapras

srry

how can I get unbanned?

[rotund swan]

you cant

your ban was 100% deserved, you kept using pokemon showdown for #940357499297615902

[loud rain]

There a way to see ur updated place in queue?

Nvm

[median venture]

Is Nintendo online required to use the bot?

[loud rain]

My trade just got sniped and canceld

[loud rain]

In order to trade online, yes u do

[nimble swan]

To make it more unlikely that someone snipes your trade, you can set up a customized code by putting an 8 digit number in front of the Pokemon species
For example:
.trade 12349876 Garchomp

[peak fiber]

I received my gardevoir from the gengar bot but it isn’t alpha like I requested

[rotund swan]

I just joined, but can someone tell me the differences between the gengar channels and the lapras ones?

[loud rain]

Lapras is for people that pay to support the bots, it's a faster queue

[peak fiber]

Ohhh ok

[nimble swan]

Make sure it looks like this Alpha: Yes
Then it shouldn't happen

[loud rain]

Is there no regular bdsp bot due to lack of players?

[loud rain]

Understandable, ty

[covert glade]

how come Legends Gengar isn’t taking requests right now?

ah! understandable

[loud rain]

My trade just got canceled for "suspicious activity"

That's my 2nd trade messed up in a row

[nimble swan]

Happened probably due to the trade snipe since this is activated by either using two Discord Accounts trading to one save file or one Discord Account trading to two save files. In 2h you should be able to trade again :)

[loud rain]

[shell radish]

Is there a way to get a specific gender for the Pokémon on the Arcues bots?

[rotund swan]

you can do this in pkhex

[shell radish]

How?

[rotund swan]

i had to look it up but i think you can toggle the little icon between the PID box and reroll button

[shell radish]

So how would it look like? What do I change sorry I’m just confused. trade Hippopotas
Shiny: Yes
Alpha: Yes

[rotund swan]

do you have the pkhex program? i don’t believe you can include it if you type it out

if you’re on mobile, you can only do the basics like shiny, alpha, and level

what you can do is .convert instead of .trade

then it will give you a file (that might have the gender u want, just do it until it is the gender you want). then save the file and do .trade and attach the file

[shell radish]

I don’t have pkhex program so use .convert and put the Pokémon name after it?

[rotund swan]

do what you typed out here with the shiny and alpha

just instead of trade, do convert

[shell radish]

Oooh okay

[shell radish]

Thanks it worked

[copper vapor]

If I want to get a Pokémon how do I say it(shiny)

[rotund swan]

.trade Turtwig
Shiny: Yes

[copper vapor]

Ok

.trade gardevoir
Shiny: Yes

Like this

[rotund swan]

yup

[copper vapor]

Thx

[warm summit]

I traded the Gengar bot, I did the exact code it said "searching" for a while and then the bot canceled the trade, how do I make it so the trade actually goes through?

please help

[rotund swan]

do you have a nintendo switch online membership?

[warm summit]

yup

[rotund swan]

Does it look like this when you search?

[warm summit]

yeah

[rotund swan]

Alright uh it could be timing then or lag issue

only type in the code when it says “Initializing trade…”

and try standing in a pokemon center during the trade next time

[warm summit]

alright tysm i appriceate it

[nimble pebble]

If I am purchasing a month of the Patreon subscription will it renew on the 21st of August or August 1st. I am confused because of what this text box says.

[rotund swan]

august 1st

[nimble pebble]

thanks

[rotund swan]

np

[sweet moat]

for the bdsp bot do I use the global room? I was just using it but the bot could not find me

[grave imp]

For the pla what are the limited legendaries?

[nimble swan]

All cant be Alpha as well as Arceus and Enamorus cant be Shiny

[rotund swan]

yes global room with link code

[grave imp]

So is shiny giratina allowed?

[nimble swan]

Yes

[grave imp]

Thanks

[acoustic palm]

Is there a way to do it on a switch emulator

[nimble swan]

No

[acoustic palm]

Oh ok

[dense cobalt]

how do i cancel a requested pokemon on the bot?

[rotund swan]

.qc

[dense cobalt]

thank you

[molten sandal]

How do ask for a hisuian braviary in legends gengar?

Thank you

[granite rune]

I found out why, I had a trade I wasn’t for and had to wait for 2 hours to pass

[outer tundra]

So I just have to wait and see when it happens now?

So if I stay in q after time passes I’ll get it then even if it cancels?

[granite rune]

Yeah, but it should be good by now I think

[warm summit]

it happened again

maybe bc the bot is going to shield instead of sword

?

[rotund swan]

nah that’s not a thing

idk what else to tell ya, you’re doing everything right

as long as ur connected online, just keep trying

[rotund swan]

does it say “Suspicious Activity” or “NoTrainerFound” as the error message

I tried to do a trade and it said non negative index. what does that mean?

ur formatting or something in ur request is off

whatd you send

[little dust]

Do you just get the Pokémon you ask for cause I got nothing close besides the Pokémon I asked for?

[rotund swan]

depends how you requested it

something could’ve been wrong

[little dust]

How should’ve I done it?

[cyan frigate]

how does one get in line for the trade bot?

[rotund swan]

send here exactly what you requested bc i can’t see it

[rotund swan]

?guide

watch the guide for the game you want to trade in

[outer tundra]

Alright I’ll see if it happens again since it did this morning for me

[little dust]

Can I just get a format?

[rotund swan]

what game

[cyan frigate]

that video was kinda confusing so is there like a format i can use?

[supple grove]

how do u get the bot to trade u

[rotund swan]

what is confusing about it

[rotund swan]

watch the guide linked above

[supple grove]

k

[warm summit]

yes

no trainer found

[rotund swan]

okay then sorry i’m not sure, just keep trying

[cyan frigate]

i think ive got it but im still getting invalid errors on pkhex

[dire dome]

how do i get the pokémon home thingy that tier 2 said it would give

[minor tiger]

Check the pins in the tier 2 in and out

[rotund swan]

click the checkmark to make sure your request is legal

[dire dome]

thank you so much 🫶🏼

[cyan frigate]

i dont see a checkmark all i see is a red triangle with an ! in it and i click it and theirs 6 invalid things that idk how to fix

[nimble pebble]

wait where do i find the account i can log into

[rotund swan]

i’m not sure man, you can send a screenshot of what you see but just following the guide should be enough to get a trade going

[cyan frigate]

i figured it out

i skipped a major part of the process in the video lol

[rotund swan]

Lol no worries

[rotund swan]

been 12 minutes

still no trade

[twilit perch]

is their like a way to navigate through the discord channels?
If not I have few questions

[safe moat]

Is there a reason it says suspicious activity even though you have one account? I haven’t don’t anything wrong and I don’t have multiple accounts but I keep getting the suspicious activity error.

[twilit perch]

Ah, I see!
So what does the lapras bot do?

ok, and does the tier shiny lapras do anything different or is it like more support to the creator?

[rotund swan]

Why did it not find me?

[safe moat]

I only have one save file though. I’m not understanding what’s happening

[austere ocean]

What's the command to do a shiny hunt?

[rotund swan]

someone else probably got in your trade with the same link code and the bot thinks it was you. wait 2 hours and the restriction should go away

[rotund swan]

does it look like this when you are searching?

yes

alright well my only advice is to only type in the code when you get the DM saying “Initializing trade…”

and try standing in a pokemon center next time during your trade

[nimble swan]

@radiant sonnet You keep forgetting to add the command .trade in front of the Showdown paste

[rotund swan]

to complete legends arceus does the dex need to be perfect or do you just need no missing entries?

[nimble swan]

You just have to catch each pokemon, except Arceus, Shaymin and Darkrai once

[rotund swan]

ok thanks

[outer tundra]

I did that and I’m still waiting

[rotund swan]

not sure then, sorry. just keep trying

it’s working for everyone else

[ruby pilot]

When you trade with any of the bots does it have this discord server as it's name?

[bitter swan]

hi guys i need help using the arceus gengar bot

[covert crane]

No they won't

[covert crane]

what do you need help with about the bot

[ruby pilot]

So they will just have its normal name?

[covert crane]

yes

[ruby pilot]

Ok thanks

[covert crane]

yw

[bitter swan]

i was trying to get in que and it is saying it isnt taking requests what does that mean?

[rotund swan]

?guide

[covert crane]

that means the bot has hit it's max for people entering the queue, it won't take request til a certain amount of people are in queue

[twilit perch]

Ok I've seen a video on how to find your (SID) And it said that I can make a request and get it from a bot, Can I get it from this bot aswell or do I need to find another bot to do so?

[bitter swan]

okay so i should just wait a little while?

[covert crane]

yes

[bitter swan]

okay ty

[covert crane]

You can by using the .dump command, however I don't know if it's disabled

[covert crane]

yw

[twilit perch]

I could use it in the #legends-za-bot ?

[covert crane]

no, in either #763131979565629510, #legends-arceus-bot or #bdsp-bot depending on which game you're trying to get it in

[twilit perch]

ah alright thank you!

[covert crane]

yw

[twilit perch]

it say's I don't have the required role, any suggestions?

[dire dome]

am i able to customize the level my pokémon comes at or is it only 100

[twilit perch]

ah alright, so then I'd have to wait to start obtaning pokemon?

[covert crane]

Just add the level: line to the request you can alter the level that way

[dire dome]

thank you so much 🫶🏼

[covert crane]

likely so

[covert crane]

yw

[twilit perch]

got it thank you!

[covert crane]

yw

[lyric zenith]

So I asked for a lucario and got the following moves: aura sphere, flash cannon, vacuum wave, and dark pulse. Why was the pp kind high

[covert crane]

The pp on the moves given from the bot will be maxed out

[lyric zenith]

ok thanks

[covert crane]

yw

[nimble pebble]

why does this keep happening

[covert crane]

If it's doing that the bot is running to some problems and needs to be fixed

[astral belfry]

When will SwSh Gengar bot be accepting queue requests again?

[covert crane]

It'll be accepting queue request once it's current queue count is under 50

[astral belfry]

Okay, thanks

[brisk coral]

i put the code but why it do that

[covert crane]

Were you connected to the internet in game

[covert crane]

yw

[brisk coral]

ofc

do i get a second try or tough luck

[covert crane]

You can try again, but you will have to wait in the queue again, I recommend searching inside of a Pokemon Center

[dire dome]

when i did the trade and put in level 50 it still gave me a level 100

what did i do wrong

[astral belfry]

Why inside of a Pokemon Centre? Just curious

[covert crane]

You didn't do anything wrong, for pokemon at level 50 just set them to level 49 or 51

[covert crane]

less entities to load

[dire dome]

ahhh

[astral belfry]

makes sense
