Pokétwo is the definitive Pokémon experience on Discord.
With over millions of active users, it allows you to catch, trade, and battle Pokémon directly within your chat server. It is the spiritual successor to the legendary Pokécord bot and has become the standard for community engagement in gaming servers.
📜 History: From the Ashes of Pokécord
1. The Pokécord Era
For years, Pokécord was the king of Discord entertainment. However, in June 2020, its developer shut it down unexpectedly, leaving millions of users without their collections.
2. The Rise of Pokétwo
Almost immediately, Pokétwo was launched to fill the void. It kept the core mechanic—”Chat to Spawn”—but improved the stability, added newer generations (Gen 8 & 9), and created a massive global marketplace. Today, it is bigger and more feature-rich than its predecessor ever was.
⚙️ How It Works: The Core Loop
The gameplay is simple but addictive.
- Spawn: As users chat in the server, the bot randomly spawns a Pokémon image.
- Identify: The bot won’t tell you the name. You must recognize the silhouette or image.
- Catch: The first person to type p!catch [Name] gets the Pokémon.
- Note: It is a race. Speed and spelling matter.

Not all Pikachu are equal.
- IVs determine stats (0-31).

- Shiny Hunt: Type p!shinyhunt [Pokemon] to focus on one species. Every time you catch that specific Pokémon, your “Chain” increases, slightly boosting your shiny odds.
🔍 Search Filters (Market)
You can filter searches to find exactly what you need.
- Examples:

- p!m s –shiny (Search for Shinies)
- p!m s –iv >80 (Search for high stats)
- p!m s –order price+ (Sort by cheapest)
Combo: p!m s –n rayquaza –shiny –order price+ finds the cheapest Shiny Rayquaza.
