Training, Forms, and a lot of fixes

Some huge quality of life changes in this update along with some new features!

The Form Dex#

Some Pokémon spawn with multiple different forms. It is many people's goal to collect everything, so there is now an easy way to view them all and track them!

Open /pokedex and hit the Forms button. The ones you have caught show in colour, the rest will show as a silhouette.

Every form you have ever collected, all in one place.

Your whole team counts towards Training Level now!#

Training Level used to come from ONE Pokémon, whichever you had trained to the highest level. Everything you put into the rest of your team counted for absolutely nothing. This was a major design flaw in the Trainer Level system.

This has been fully reworked. Every point of XP any of your Pokémon earns now feeds your Training Level. Train your lead, train your whole party, it all counts!

Your current level is completely unaffected. Check out your level in /pokemon list!

Your Training Level, and how high wild Pokémon can spawn.

Spawn rarity has been completely rebuilt#

Rarity used to be based on the individual catch rate of a Pokémon, which meant whichever rarity tier held the most Pokémon was the Pokémon you kept seeing over and over again. Uncommons were turning up way more than they should have, and the rare stuff was much harder to find than intended by a lot.

Each rarity tier now gets a fixed share of spawns, split between the Pokémon in that given tier. This will be the same case for future generations. This has been running for a bit already so hopefully you have seen some more variety.

Rare Pokémon feel rare again.

17 rarer Pokémon have been added to the spawn pool#

Seventeen Pokémon that used to need a trade now spawn in the wild. These include: Alakazam, Machamp, Golem, Gengar, Scizor, Steelix, Kingdra, Politoed, Slowking, Porygon2, Porygon-Z, Rhyperior, Electivire, Magmortar, Dusknoir, Huntail and Gorebyss!

You can still evolve these Pokémon the old fashioned way. Also, as a bonus every evolution item dropped to ₽3,000. Anyone that bought one of these beforehand has been refunded the currency difference.

No trading needed to find these rare spawns.

Fishing takes a lot less time#

Reeling in a bite will drop you straight into the encounter now. No extra buttons. Bites come much faster too, so less waiting. Also, when a cast ends there is a Cast again button, so you can drop straight into the next one.

You can also fish from your DMs now, where nothing hides behind a disappearing message.

The fish got a bit more aggressive.

Every notification in one toggleable place#

You can now access /notifications which is one panel for every DM the bot can send you. These include the Daily and vote reminders, a ping when your lead levels up, and a heads up when the Day Care has an Egg ready.

Quality of life#

  • /show party posts your whole party, or hit the button on /party.
  • Search the Day Care box by name or nickname.
  • Give Item and Sell buttons are right on a Pokémon's page now.
  • The search functions now show the catch number, IVs, gender and nature.
  • Gen 4 items have their real icons in your bag and the shop.

Fixes#

  • Taking a held item off a Pokémon had a chance to destroy it. This has been fixed, and every item destroyed this way has been refunded.
  • Releasing a Pokémon also destroyed whatever it was holding. The item is now refunded straight to your bag.
  • Female Pokémon showed the wrong sprite outside of battle.
  • Effectiveness ignored Abilities. Drill Run read "super effective" against a Bronzong that Levitate made completely immune to it.
  • Future Sight and Doom Desire landed in total silence, so a Pokémon just died for no visible reason.
  • A finished research chain showed its last step as 0/1.
  • Wild Pokémon could get stuck at exactly your Training Level plus 5.
  • Odor Sleuth and Foresight now let Normal and Fighting moves land on a Ghost in the battle menu.
