Commands

Every command Pokéname supports, grouped by what it does. All commands shown with the default prefix -. Slash command equivalents (/command) work identically wherever a command is marked hybrid — which is most of them.

General

Public commands available to everyone.

Server configuration

Admin-only commands. Require Manage Server (or Administrator in some cases). Most server-wide toggles can also be flipped from the Dashboard.

Shiny hunting

Hunt a specific Pokémon and get pinged when it spawns. Server-local hunts apply to one server; global hunts auto-sync across every server you share with Pokéname.

Anywhere you type a Pokémon name you can use its English, German, French or Japanese name (romaji included) as well as form names — -sh Bisasam, -sh Fushigidane and -sh Bulbasaur all set the same hunt. Replies always come back in English.

Collection

Track Pokémon you want for your collection and get pinged when one spawns. Collection commands have add / remove / list / clear subcommands grouped under one root.

Like shiny hunts, these accept foreign and alternate names as well as English ones.

Quest pings

Get pinged when Pokémon from selected categories spawn — useful for daily quests in Pokétwo.

Starboard

Auto-relay notable catches — rares, regionals, shinies, Gigantamax, and high/low IV — to a starboard channel, or let members manually star messages with the ⭐ reaction.

Premium servers post these as themed image cards instead of plain embeds; turn that off with -toggle starboardtheme if you prefer the classic text look.

Sending each category to its own channel

By default every notable catch from a spawn channel goes to that channel's one starboard. If you'd rather split them up — shinies in one channel, rares in another — open -starboard, press Category Channels, pick a category and pick its channel. The same six rows are on the dashboard under Server Settings → Category channels.

Anything you leave on Default starboard keeps going where it always did, so servers that never touch this are unaffected.

A catch is only ever posted once. When a catch fits more than one category, the first match in this order wins:

1. Shiny
2. Gigantamax
3. Rare
4. Regional
5. High IV
6. Low IV

So a shiny legendary posts to your Shiny channel, not to both Shiny and Rare. Giving a category its own channel also switches that category on for it, so a route always takes effect immediately.

Global Starboard

A live feed of notable catches from every server running Pokéname — rares, shinies, regionals, Gigantamax and high/low IV — browsable in Discord or on the website. It is separate from your server's own starboard: you don't have to configure anything to appear in it, and nothing you set here changes where your server's starboard posts.

Both names are hidden by default. Your catches show up anonymously unless you opt in.

Leaderboards

Global rankings across everyone who uses Pokéname, plus per-Pokémon boards showing who has caught the most of a given species. Also on the website.

Your name is shown by default. Use -toggle lb to hide yourself — it's a personal setting, needs no permissions, and works in DMs.

Auctions

Searchable history of ended Pokétwo auctions, so you can check what something actually sold for before you bid. Installable as a user app, so it works in DMs and in servers that don't have Pokéname.

Search filters

Filters use Pokétwo's own syntax, so anything you're used to typing there works here. Combine as many as you like.

Numeric filters accept comparisons, e.g. --iv > 90.

Examples

-a s --legendary --shiny --order iv-
-a s --region alola --iv > 90 --limit 30
-a s --hextuple 31
-a s フシギダネ

Steal warnings

Premium safety net. Pokéname watches catches in the server — if someone catches a Pokémon that's in another member's active shiny hunt or collection list, the catcher gets warned and (optionally) auto-timed-out after a configurable number of strikes.

Auto-Lock

Automatically lock channels for a configurable duration after a Pokémon spawns, to enforce naming or catching rules. Channels, delay, duration and trigger conditions are managed through one interactive command.

Available on every server, including free ones — Premium tiers just raise the caps on how many channels you can enrol and how long a lock can last.

Backgrounds & shop

Customise the artwork behind Pokéname's naming embeds with collectible backgrounds. Some are unlocked for free, others are paid (PayPal one-time purchases).
