## **Currencies**<br>

Pokétwo has 2 different currencies: Pokécoins (PC) and shards. You can check your balance using the command *p!bal*. By default, it will also appear on the top of *Shop*. You can toggle this with the command *p!togglebal*.

PC is the main currency, used for the majority of services including *Market, Auctions,* and most of the *Shop.* As it is tradable, it can also be used in *Trading*.&#x20;

Shards are the premium currency which can be bought for 200 PC each, and are used to buy items such as redeems in page 7 of *The Shop.* It is non-tradable and can be bought with real currency at poketwo.net/store`.`<br>

## **Ways to Earn Money**

* Catching Pokémon (you earn 35 PC for the first catch, 350 for the 10th catch, 3500 for the 100th catch, etc).
* Releasing Pokémon (2 PC each)
* Completing quests. (Active quests can be viewed using p!quests).&#x20;
* Selling Pokémon you have caught using the #want-to-sell in the official server, or the *Market*.(Collectors are often willing to buy bulk amounts of specific Pokémon).
* Auctioning.
* *Auction/Market* flipping (this method is recommended for seasoned players who know their prices). <br>

## **Items**

Items can be bought in the *Shop,* by using the command: *p!buy \<item name>.* To flip through pages, use the command: *p!shop \<page number>* .<br>

The items you can buy in the shop are as follows:

* Page 1: XP boosters and rare candies
  * Used to level up your Pokémon faster than normal.
* Page 2: Evolution stones&#x20;
  * Instant evolution for compatible Pokémon.
* Page 3: Form changing items&#x20;
  * Used to change the forms of specific Pokémon.
* Page 4: the Everstone, XP blocker, and various evolution items
  * &#x20;the Everstone prevents a Pokémon from evolving while holding it
  * the XP blocker prevents a Pokémon from gaining any XP while holding it
* Page 5: Mints&#x20;
  * changes the nature of a Pokémon (which alters its stats).
* Page 6: Mega evolutions
  * For most Mega Pokémon. use the command: *p!buy mega evolution* (this can also be used for Kyogre and Groudon's primal evolutions)
  * For Charizard or Mewtwo, use *p!buy x mega evolution* or *p!buy y mega evolution*.
* Page 7: Shard Shop.
  * Redeems - spawns a catchable Pokémon of your choice. The IV is randomized.
  * Incense - spawns a Pokémon every 20 seconds for an hour.
  * Shiny charm - increases your shiny rate by 20% for a week. This can stack on top of other boosts, including increased rates from events and shiny hunt.
