Pokémon spawning is based on the activity of a server. Messages sent by non-bot users count towards a spawn criterion and spawn a pokémon when met.
Messages sent by 2 or more users count towards that criterion faster, so inviting Pokétwo to a server with friends who converse naturally is a great place to start. Otherwise, it becomes cumbersome to manually send messages in order for spawns to occur.
The conditions for the optimal spawn rate of pokémon are as follows, under which there will be a spawn every 24 messages:
When 1 user sends messages
The optimal rate of messages: Send a message every 1.5 seconds
Time to spawn (at optimal message rate): 36 seconds
When 2 or more users send messages
The optimal rate of messages: Send a message, alternating between 2+ users, every 1 second
Time to spawn (at optimal message rate): 24 seconds
Different pokémon have different chances to spawn. There are pokémon that spawn very often and there are pokémon that spawn very rarely. The spawn chance of a pokémon plays an important role in determining its market value.
Here is a list of links you can visit in order to find up-to-date spawn chances of various pokémon and categories (and their catchable forms). They are all ordered by chance (ascending):
To catch a pokémon, when one spawns, you must guess which pokémon it is. This can seem difficult at the beginning but if you catch enough, it will gradually get easier.
After guessing the pokémon, run the command @Pokétwo#8236 [catch|c] <guess>
to attempt to catch it.
Failed attempts do not make the pokémon despawn, you can try as many times as you want as long as nobody else catches it or another pokémon does not spawn in the channel.
Various badges for your profile (@Pokétwo#8236 profile
) and pokécoin rewards can be earned by catching different numbers of pokémon.
Different quests can be completed to earn badges and pokécoins. Please refer to the following table for the pokécoin rewards.
From each region, there is a quest to catch different set numbers of pokémon for the respective amount of pokécoins. For detailed info, please visit our Quests page.

2,000
50 Pokémon
5,000
100 Pokémon

A total of 696,000 pokécoins and 8 badges can be earned after completion of all 5 x 8 = 40
quests
If you catch multiple of the same pokémon, you can earn pokécoins at certain milestones.

If you don't know a Pokémon's name, or you just don't remember what it was called, you can receive hints to guess it.
To receive hints about a Pokémon's name, the command is @Pokétwo#8236 [hint|h]
. This will show a few letters of the Pokémon's name, which can help you to guess the name.
For example:
Whenever you catch a pokémon, there is a 1/4096
or ~0.0244%
chance of it being shiny. It is important to understand that shinies don't spawn; it is determined after the catch, whether or not it will be shiny.
There are only two ways to increase this chance:
Buying a Shiny Charm from the shop (page 7). This will increase the shiny chance of all pokémon by 20% for 1 week. Shiny Charms can not be stacked.
Increased chance: 1/3413.3
or ~0.029%
Command: @Pokétwo#8236 buy shiny charm
Price: 150 shards (30,000 pokécoins)
By Shiny Hunting a specific pokémon. This will increase the shiny chance of the one particular pokémon that you shiny hunt.
Increased chance: 7 + √(shiny_streak) / 28672
(Without Shiny Charm)
Command: @Pokétwo#8236 shinyhunt <pokémon-name>
More info at Shiny Hunting
When you catch a shiny, this is the message you will see
Shiny hunting will increase the shiny chance, for only the Pokémon that you are shiny hunting, by ~x1.05
at the beginning, and this value decreases and approaches x1
as the shiny streak increases (e.g. it becomes ~x1.003
at 100 shiny streak. and so on). You can shiny hunt only one pokémon at a time.
The command to start shiny hunting a Pokémon is @Pokétwo#8236 [shinyhunt|sh] <pokémon-name>
.
The formula for calculating the shiny chance % at a certain streak is:
With Shiny Charm:
Here is a simple program to calculate the chances at a specific shiny hunt streak
For example, at streak 100:
Deriving from this formula, there is a 100% chance of shiny at around 823,543,225 streak (570,545,773 with Shiny Charm). This big number may look scary, but keep in mind that this number is purely mathematical, and in a realistic situation, you will have caught the shiny well before ever getting even remotely close to this number.
You can always catch any shiny and their chance will not be affected by your shiny streak, nor will your streak break if you catch a shiny of a different pokémon, the chance of which is 1/4096
or ~0.0244%
and 1/3413.3
or ~0.029%
with Shiny Charm.
Pokémon have alternate names in different languages that you can use to catch them. To see the alternate names of a pokémon, check its pokédex using the command @Pokétwo#8236 [pokedex|d] <pokémon-name>
.
So you can type @Pokétwo#8236 catch ヒトカゲ | Hitokage | Charmander | Glumanda | Salamèche
to catch a Charmander.
If you wish to get spawns in a server that is not so active, you can purchase an Incense from the shop (page 7) which will spawn pokémon constantly at regular intervals without any prerequisites.
An incense spawns pokémon every 20 seconds for 1 hour. In total, there will be 180 pokémon that will spawn per incense.
You must either have a role named Incense (not case-sensitive) or have Administration/Owner permissions in the server to purchase an incense.
Incenses cost 50 shards (10,000 pokécoins). You must have at least 50 shards in order to purchase an incense, having 10,000 pokécoins will not count.
To buy shards, do @Pokétwo#8236 buy shard 50
.
Go to the channel in which you want to buy the incense.
Use the command @Pokétwo#8236 buy incense
.
Press the Confirm button. If you wish to cancel, press the Cancel button.
The incense will now begin to spawn. At any point in the incense, if you wish to PERMANENTLY stop the incense, you can do so by using the @Pokétwo#8236 stopincense
command and pressing Confirm.
You can do more than one incense at once but in different channels. You can not stack incenses.
To redirect natural (not incense) spawns to specific channels, you can use the command Pokétwo#8236 redirect #channel1 #channel2 #channel3
with as many channels as you want.
To view the current set spawn channels, use the command @Pokétwo#8236 config
which will list them all.
To reset the set spawn channels, use @Pokétwo#8236 redirect reset
, which will remove all set spawn channels and make it so that pokémon spawn in the same channels that are active.
@Pokétwo#8236 [catch|c] <pokémon-name>
- To catch a pokémon that has .
@Pokétwo#8236 [hint|h]
- To get a for the name of the pokémon currently present in the channel
@Pokétwo#8236 [shinyhunt|sh] <pokémon-name>
- To start a pokémon. Will discard the current streak after confirmation.
@Pokétwo#8236 buy incense
- To buy an in the current channel
@Pokétwo#8236 redirect <channel-names|reset>
