Server Setup: How to Enable the Pokemon Bot

Step 1: Add M4T3 to Your Server

Add M4T3 to your Discord server and make sure the bot has permission to send messages and embed links in the channels where you want Pokémon to spawn.

Step 2: Enable the Pokemon Module

Open the M4T3 Dashboard, go to your server settings, and enable the Pokemon plugin. The system activates with these defaults:

• Spawn Rate: 30% per activity event
• Wild Pokémon Level Range: 1–50
• Catch Reward: 75 coins
• Battle Win Reward: 75 coins
• Base Shiny Rate: 1%
• Max Pokémon per User: 1,000

Step 3: Configure Spawn Channels

• Whitelist channels — Pokémon only spawn in selected channels
• Blacklist channels — Block spawns in specific channels (e.g., announcements)
• Scheduled spawns — Set automated spawns at custom intervals in specific channels

Step 4: Advanced Settings (Optional)

• Enable Legendary Pokémon spawns (disabled by default; spawn rate: 1%)
• Enable Mythical Pokémon spawns (disabled by default; spawn rate: 0.5%)
• Assign Gym Badge Discord roles — members earn roles by defeating Gym Leaders
• Set a dedicated Starter Pokémon channel for /pokemon starter
• Adjust XP multipliers, trade cooldowns, and collection limits

Getting Started as a Player

Choose Your Starter

Every new trainer begins by picking a starter Pokémon:

/pokemon starter

Choose from:

• Bulbasaur — Grass / Poison type
• Charmander — Fire type
• Squirtle — Water type
• Pikachu — Electric type

You can keep up to 4 starter Pokémon per account.

---

Wild Pokémon Spawning

Wild Pokémon appear automatically in active channels based on member activity. When a spawn occurs, the bot posts a Pokémon embed that all members can see and respond to.

How spawning works:

• 30% base chance per activity event (adjustable by admins)
• Wild Pokémon appear at levels 1–50 by default
• Legendary and Mythical spawns are disabled by default, enabled per server
• Admins can set channel whitelists/blacklists and schedule spawns
• Expired spawn embeds can be auto-deleted

---

Catching Pokémon

When a wild Pokémon spawns, use:

/pokemon catch [pokemon]

Replace [pokemon] with the Pokémon's name. You'll enter a turn-based catch sequence using Pokéballs and berries.

Pokéball types:

• Poké Ball — Standard catch rate
• Great Ball — Higher catch rate
• Ultra Ball — Even higher catch rate
• Master Ball — Guaranteed catch (very rare)

Berries from the store boost catch rates further. A successful catch rewards 75 coins (server-configurable).

---

Battle System

M4T3's battle engine uses authentic mechanics: type effectiveness, weather conditions, terrain, abilities, and status conditions.

PvP Battles

Challenge another trainer directly:

/pokemon battle [opponent] [mode?]

Win to earn 75 coins (default). Battles are turn-based with real type matchups.

Gym Battles

Face 8 AI-controlled Gym Leaders:

/pokemon gym

Defeating a Gym Leader earns Gym Badges, special rewards, and optionally a Discord role configured by your server admin. Gym Badge victories can be announced in a dedicated channel.

NPC Trainer Battles

Battle computer-controlled NPC trainers for coins and XP:

/pokemon npc

Great for leveling up without needing another player online.

---

Training & Evolution

Leveling Up

Pokémon gain experience through battles. Level cap: 100. Admins can adjust experienceRate and levelUpRate multipliers.

---

Shiny Pokémon Hunting

Every wild encounter has a 1% base chance of being shiny. Use the hunt system to target a specific species:

/pokemon hunt [action]

Shiny hunt mechanics:

• Base shiny rate: 1% per encounter
• Active hunt multiplier: 3x for your targeted species
• Streak bonus: +0.02% per consecutive catch of the same species
• Maximum streak: 500 catches
• All 151+ Pokémon have shiny variants
