PokiBot is Pokimono's helper in the Discord server. It is the same bot account you use for battles, bag items, village shifts, and chat levels. It answers when you type ? or ?: shortcuts in a channel with quick links into the site. It quietly carries private mod mail when you DM it. In short: if it happens through the bot in Pokimono Discord, this page is the tour.

New to Discord bots? Slash commands are the small forms that start with /. Click the message box, press /, wait for Discord's command list, and choose a PokiBot line (if you see more than one bot, pick the one named for Pokimono). Tap each empty field, use the suggested rows or type to search, then press Enter or tap Send. The bot posts its answer in the same channel unless Discord shows a note that only you can see that reply.

When a field wants a character, use Discord's suggestion rows or type a few letters of your OC's name first. In duels, pick opponent before their OC list fills in. For bag item, choose the OC first so the suggestions match what that character can use right now.

The sections below walk through everything PokiBot does, one topic at a time. When you want the deeper rules for battles or village work, follow the Mechanics links inside each block — here we stay focused on what the bot is for and how to talk to it.

Ruu pays for PokiBot's hosting out of pocket — about $10 a month (~$120 a year). If you'd like to help offset those costs, you can donate via PayPal or message Ruu for other ways to contribute.

Pokimono keeps bot traffic in two kinds of places so village roleplay stays readable: a single hub channel for bag, shop, and level commands, and each region's village channel for battles, clock-ins, and berry plots.

• Arceus Shrine — In the Discord sidebar, open the channel named arceus-shrine (capitalization may vary). Use it for /item, /buy, /sell, and /levels. That keeps item use, shop receipts, and level readouts in one easy-to-find thread of messages.
• Village Roleplay channels — Under the Roleplay category, each home region has its own text channel (for example │💠・gale-springs for Gale Spring). /job work, /job status, and /berryfarm tend must run in the channel that matches that OC's home village — wrong village returns an error. /battle wild and /battle challenge work in any of the four village Roleplay channels; wild species, levels, and weather follow the channel you are in. Exact channel names and a tap-through for first use live on Mechanics → Jobs → Village work.
• Pocket links (? / ?:) — Send them as a normal chat message in any text channel you are allowed to use; arceus-shrine works well next to item, shop, and levels commands.
• Mod tickets — Open a direct message to PokiBot from your Discord home (same as messaging a friend). That path never needs a server channel.

Same list you will see in Discord, plus the two “no slash” tricks — bookmark this if you like having every option on one screen. For which channel to stand in, see Where to run commands above.

PokiBot runs OC battles with main-series style rules. The move buttons on its posts read from the battle slots you set on each character's Profile on the site.

Run /battle wild and /battle challenge in any of the four village Roleplay channels (channel names in Mechanics → Jobs → Village work). Wild species and field weather follow the channel you stand in. For /item, /buy, /sell, and /levels, use Arceus Shrine (arceus-shrine); see Where to run commands.

• /battle info — See your OC's battle stats and typings at their current level. You can pick a character or leave the field blank: PokiBot uses the OC you last used for a shift or battle, or your first approved roster character if you have not picked one yet.
• /battle wild — Start a wild encounter in the village channel you are in. Pick character for the OC who is fighting. When the encounter posts, play your turn from the buttons on that message (moves and Run). Away from your OC's home village, wild Pokémon tend to be tougher — see Wild encounters by region.
• /battle challenge — Invite another member to a duel with the same feel as a wild fight. Tag them as opponent. You can name your OC and theirs, or leave those fields blank — PokiBot fills in sensible defaults (including their active village-shift character when that fits). Accept, decline, and moves happen on the challenge and side posts.

For how turns, Run, OC XP, and status effects work, head to Mechanics → Battling, especially wild battles in Discord and member duels.

PokiBot connects your site bag to Discord: use /item use when you want potions, revives, status cures, treats that raise character level, or anything else the bag supports to land on one of your roster characters.

Use Arceus Shrine (arceus-shrine) for /item use. For /buy and /sell, use the same channel: PokiBot pulls the same Items Shop catalog and prices as the site — search the autocomplete list, then pick a row.

• Choose a character and a bag item from the lists (both support search-as-you-type). Optional count (1–20) repeats the same item until your OC is topped off, the status clears, you run out, or the run hits the cap.

The suggestions line up with that character's current HP and status, so you see what actually applies.

PokiBot is the village clock-in: each OC gets one successful shift per Eastern calendar day, and the same bot readout shows wallet, HP, reputation, quest rank, and more when you ask for status.

• /job work — Pick the character who is clocking in. Run it in that OC's home village Roleplay channel (one of the four region channels under Roleplay — not Arceus Shrine and not a general RP room). Mechanics → Jobs → Village work lists the exact channel names and a first-time tap-through. If you are in the wrong place, the bot's reply points you to the right channel.
• /job status — Same character field and the same home village Roleplay channel as /job work. You will see wallet, cooldown, job line, HP, quest rank, village reputation, and other readouts in one embed.

/berryfarm tend follows the same village-channel rule: pick the region and OC, then send the command from that village's Roleplay channel (see Villages → Berry farming).

For what the four focus types mean in play, open Mechanics → Job Mechanics.

PokiBot mirrors the chat XP you earn in the server: peek at your bar, trade eligible levels for mon, or cheer on the leaderboard climbers.

Run /levels in Arceus Shrine (arceus-shrine) so rank checks and exchanges sit with the rest of the bot traffic.

• /levels rank — Your level, XP progress, leaderboard placement, and how many levels you can still trade for mon. Optional user lets you look up another Discord member (pick them from the member picker — it is not the OC list).
• /levels exchange — Pick Check status for a preview, or Exchange levels to turn eligible levels into mon at 1 level = 100 mon.
• /levels leaderboard — Top members by level. Optional limit between 5 and 25 names; if you skip it, you get 10.

While signed in, open Profile → Levels on the site for rank, leaderboard, and exchange alongside the bot commands above.

No slash command needed: type a regular channel message (not the slash menu). PokiBot listens for the little ? / ?: patterns and answers with a tidy embed of links into the Pokimono site. Arceus Shrine (arceus-shrine) is a good default if you want pocket links next to your other bot commands. Two shapes work the same way:

• ?: then a space and a topic word — for example ?: lore, ?: moves, or ?: shops.
• ? glued to the topic word — for example ?moves, ?lore, ?shiny, or ?help.

Send ?: help or ?help whenever you want the full topic list PokiBot recognizes in Discord.

Slide into a direct message with PokiBot the same way you would message a friend. You do not need to join a server channel first — DMs work from Discord's home screen. Your first note opens a private ticket for the mods. Keep replying in that same DM so follow-ups and answers stay threaded together — that is how PokiBot keeps your mod conversation tidy.

If you are happy asking in public instead, use Suggestions & feedback on the site (anonymous post to the questions channel). When to use DMs versus the public form, and how the mod queue works, is spelled out under Follow moderator instructions on the community rules page.
