Hi , id like to suggest making porygon from silver discs have good or at least usable natures upon (same with the pikachu trade change that was recently made , which makes the pikachu traded for electrode at cinnabar lab usually have a good nature) The reasons for that is: 1- There is no effective way to hunt and actually synch porygon , the only sources are a few bosses which porygon can be a third win reward and excavation in wonderous site which is tier 9. 2- There arent that many ways to obtain silver discs , the main method is usually getting it at the 7th day of helping the news reporter , and there is a 50% (presumably) to get either silver disc or reroll ticket , and let's be honest , silver disc currently is a VERY lackluster reward compared to a reroll ticket. It can be very furstrating getting silver discs weeks in a row 3- The only thing i can compare silver discs to is fossils , which have can be synched through the fossil machine at the historical site after passing a certain excavation rank . Why do fossils get this privilege but not porygon? I would understand if porygon was a pokemon that would break the current pvp meta , but it's not. Silver disc is even much rarer than fossils. An alternate solution would be to somehow give porygon the fossil treatment and make a way to pay a cost ( if you verify some requirements) to be able to synch porygon. That concludes my ted talk.

Hey, this is my map 100 x 100. I don't know if I have to take more screenshots, or explain why there is a love balloon boat above the rainbow or why there is a tree in the water. The is my 1st map over 30 x 30 I hope it's not that bad. Good luck everyone.

A Comprehensive Selling and Buying guide for Pokémon Revolution Online. Written by: Lysium and Forged. Introduction Greetings, Forged and I have decided to write this guide as a way of assisting new players in understanding the value of the Pokémon in their collection. We regularly get asked via in game message or discord, to price Pokémon. Although the art of “Price Checking” is mostly guess work there are many different things to consider when estimating the value of a given Pokémon. Below we have compiled a comprehensive list of things to consider when either selling or buying. Pricing is a combination of knowledge of the current PRO metagame, Smogon tier lists, PRO rarity tiers, and just how good is good enough to be competitive. Lastly a price check/estimation is a guess, a gut feeling. Prices can sway up to 50% based on who the buyer is and how desperate they are, or how competitive the market is for that Pokémon. *Please note that this guide is aimed at helping you identify valuable Pokémon for specific tips on selling and obtaining the best price please see the guide below. Selling Tips and Advice for PRO **If you have any comments or suggestions about this guide, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment below. Thanks 1. Rarity [spoiler=Rarity] [spoiler=Rarity] [spoiler=Rarity] [spoiler=Rarity]A rarity value or rating is given to a Pokémon based on how frequently they spawn during wild Pokémon encounters. The rating is a number scale from 1 meaning “abundant” or a very common spawn, all the way up to 10 “Unhuntable” meaning only obtainable through evolutions, boss rewards, fossils or some other means. It cannot be found through regular spawning mechanics. The value of poke increases significantly as the rarity of the poke increases. The rarity of a Pokémon can add significant value to it and should be one of the first things to consider when estimating the value. There are many helpful guides written on the forums about rarity and spawning mechanics. Including excavations sites, headbutt tree’s, fossils and boss rewards, please check there for further information on those spawning mechanics. Below is a link to the PRO wiki page with regard to the rarity of Pokémon in PRO. *Please note some of the rarity ratings on this website are outdated and not accurate. PRO Rarity Guide Example: In this situation even though both Pokémon are considered to be "Epic" and "PvP Ready" Blissey is by far the more valuable one simply because of it's rarity. 2. PRO Viability [spoiler=PRO Viability]Pro Viability is a difficult topic to articulate and many people can have a different opinion on the viability of a Pokémon. Essentially the more viable it is the greater the value. For example, While Ruby/Sapphire is infested with Shroomish, they are a fairly rare spawn in PRO, as well as being a competitively useful Pokémon (with the Technician ability) so the prices will be higher. Generally speaking, our advice is to look up on “Smogon” how competitive a Pokémon is based on the tier it is placed in. OU > UU > RU > NU > PU Most of the PRO metagame is between the Under Used (UU) tier and the Over Used (OU) tier. Tiers can change a lot and can be based on a variety of things such as team strategies, synergy etc. After determining what tier, a Pokémon is in you should research what competitive movesets are available to a given Pokémon and cross reference that with the currently available/legal move/abilities on PRO (some are either illegal or not-coded therefor not-legal in PvP). If a Pokémon is in the Over-used (OU) tier and has a viable/legal move set in PRO then the price will generally climb. *Note please see the following for a comprehensive list of viable Pokémon for the PRO metagame. With the release of Gen7 these viability rankings are likely to change significantly. PRO Viability list Gen6 **Note please see the link below for the current banned/illegal Pokémon, moves and move sets in PRO it is your responsibility to adhere to these rules. Any violation may result in your account being banned. Banned Moves PvP Banned Pokemon Example: In this situation again we compare Azumarill to another much rarer Blastoise with it's hidden ability interestingly Blastoise was the cheaper Pokémon because it's not very viable. 3. PvP Readiness [spoiler=PvP Readiness]The Value of a poke can increase based on it being PvP ready or not. Generally speaking, we add about 50k EV’s trained stat (510EVs) add up to 150k if EV trained and levelled. A Pokémon with proper IVs/Nature/Ability and Moveset is considered to be "PvP Ready" which can be seen as a convenience charge which can add another 100k on top of that. There are a few things that make a Pokémon “PvP Ready” this term is often thrown around a lot in the trade chat however it is not always used correctly. What makes a Pokémon PvP ready? · Trained: In order for a Pokémon to be “trained” it firstly needs to have its Ev’s administered correctly, often there can be a few different “spreads” for a given poke. Secondly a Poke should be fully evolved and at level 100. · Ability/Nature: In order for a Pokémon to be classed as “PvP ready” it should have the correct ability and a viable nature. For most poke there is only one competitive ability. Again Smogon is a good place to learn these. However, there are on occasions two viable abilities on a Pokémon. For example, a Venusaur can be bold with overgrow or modest with chlorophyll. They both constitute having a competitive nature and ability. *Note Pokémon that need their “Hidden ability” (HA) will be more valuable than Pokémon who do not require a HA. Venusaur is another good example of this. · IV/EV spread: A “PvP ready” Pokémon should have competitive Ev’s and IV’s. See below for more detail. *Note Unless you have a seriously “god” like Pokémon, you want to stay below the average prices of those "Tier 1" competitive Pokémon. While you may think the Pokémon is awesome, other people need to think so too or they'll pass over your listing. It's best to stay under the competitive prices of "Tier 1" Pokémon in order to sell quickly. If you are not in a rush to sell then you may wish to aim higher and hope for a desperate buyer. Example: In this example we compare two Clefables both of which have the correct ability and nature and both are almost "Epic" however one is considered to be "PvP Ready" and the other is not. In this situation it is reasonable to expect that the Pokémon that is "PvP Ready" could easily sell for an extra 200K. 4. Epic Status [spoiler=Epic Status]The Value of a Pokémon can increase significantly if it has “Epic” status. Most Top tier players will only use a Pokémon if it is Epic so what makes a Pokémon have “Epic” status. · Primary Stat: A Pokémon often has 2 sometimes 3 Primary stats and this will vary greatly depending on what role we want the poke to fill. A wall poke generally has 3 primary stats being Health/Defence/Sp.Defence. An offensive Poke Usually has 2 Primary stats Being Attack/Speed or Sp.Attack/Speed. For a Pokémon to be classed as “Epic” we need at least 25+ IV’s in each Primary stat. · Secondary Stat: The Stats that are not Primary stats are called secondary stats for a Poke to be classed as “Epic” it usually should have 20+ IV’s in each secondary stat. for an offense poke this includes defence/Health/Sp.Defence. For a wall poke this usually includes speed and either Attack or Sp.Attack. · Negative Stat: A negative stat is the one affected negatively by its nature, for example a bold poke has a negative stat in Attack usually this stat can be of any value to be classified as “Epic”. *Note this is only a guide and some Pokémon maybe require different elements to be classified as “Epic” like mixed attackers such as Nidoking. **Note please see the guide linked below for more detail on IV’s and EV’s PRO Bible: IV's, EV's, Nature, Abilities Example: In this Example we look at two Pokémon the first is what we would consider to be "Epic" note the Primary and secondary stats, The second at first glance appears to be "Epic" also however, on closer inspection we notice that it does not have the correct ability and therefore not considered to be "Epic". It is important to be very careful when buying Pokémon on the trade market because it can be very easy to overlook some details and you end up overpaying for something not very useful. 5. Market Viability [spoiler=Market Viability]The final thing to consider when estimating the price of a Pokémon is the market viability. For a variety of reasons sometimes the market can be "hot" or "cold" for not particular reason. Most recently Rotom has been a highly sought after Pokémon selling for up to 4+ Million. a few months ago an epic Rotom could have easily been purchased for under 500k. Obviously this has to do with the release of Rotom evolutions. However, it is still a good indication of how the market can be "hot" or "cold" on a particular Pokémon. Ideally it is best to sell a poke when it's “hot” and buy when it’s “cold” As the meta shift’s with the addition of a new generation of Pokémon more abilities and moves being coded into the game, prices are likely to vary significantly over the coming few weeks and months. It is a good idea to become familiar with these changes ahead of time to avoid making big mistakes. For example: Purchasing a Talonflame just before the introduction of Gen7. *Note at the end of the day it is your Pokémon and you have the final word on what you think it is worth. If you are not happy with the price, then simply don’t sell it or it could be something you regret down the line. Thanks for taking the time to read our guide. Peace <3

Hi, Like any Pokemon game, travelling is a heavy part of the gameplay - even more in PRO since they is no outside flying. We therefore spend a lot of time entering and exiting Pokecenters in order to use the transportation system. Kanto and Johto are perfectly fine but is it possible to shorten the path to this system in Hoenn and Sinnoh? We have to walk all the way to the back of the building + talk to the guard so that we can use it, which is kinda long given we do this multiple times a day. I guess bringing the system closer to the entrance would require some mapping, but at the very least can we remove the guard once the quest is completed and have some stairs/door so that we don't have to open any dialog? Cheers!

Hey now heres a frikin beauty of a pokemon Rules: Fake offers will be reported :D Whoever wins from gold MUST TRANSFER to silver to receive their prize! Accept: Iv Reroll 700k No CC and No Trades Starting Offer : 500k Insta : 2m Min bid 50k Auction ends in 72 hours after first bid Good Luck!

i did suggest the option of giving porygon the fossils treatment as an alternative. But wonderous site is not exactly hunting , its tier 9 and and you have limited tries per day , making it effectively a very low chance. And synching porygon for pve coins , or any pokemon for that matter is absolutely not worth it. Either way it's your opinion and you can hold on to it , thanks for the feedback ^^ .

what a shame donphan doesn't serve a purpose now :/

Hello there, Mega evolution will work like the gen 7 mechanic. Hope this has answered your question. Kind regards, Contrary

Hello @omarciny2000, Sorry for the inconvenience, but sometimes the Evos are a little bugged. So whenever a Pokemon does not evolve please try the following: Let the Poke faint 1 time Log out Close Client for about 30 secs Open Client Log back in Heal up Level your Poke up again Please let me know if that sovled your Porblem. Greetings, M3ru3m

Auction goes to justbillionare! Thank you to all who auctioned. Love you all

i have to say -1 if they changed this they would probably have to change fossil revives from labs as well to have good natures. There is many ways of getting pory like the Wonderous Site and porygon is on the PVE mon rotation which you can sync for pve coins. If anything i would say let porygon be synced at the Hoenn revive excavation site with the silver disks. Maybe make it a little more expensive than a fossil revive. (and maybe the sinnoh undergound quest fossil revive could alse have reviving porygon option.)

I bid 6m

Hello @Gondar, Sorry, but I am afraid supertrainers is right. We can not de-evolve Pokes since we are lacking the Tools for that. :-/ I am really sorry there is nothing I can do for you in that case. Have a great day regardless, M3ru3m

Speaking for myself only - I am not speaking on behalf of staff - I agree these items and Pokemon should remain locked in banned accounts. Here's why: These may have been obtained in a non-permitted way, such as bug abuse, macro use, RMT, hacked, stolen, etc. If rules were broken, the "earnings" should not be distributed, as without rule breaking, they wouldn't exist. I cannot think of a realistic way to distribute the earnings from an auction like this, without that, it becomes a money sink that could negatively affect the in-game economy. Maybe a more controversial point - staff aren't perfect, we're human. An appeal may have been handled poorly (mistake or otherwise). In cases where an appeal is granted after a second look, the player should be able to continue where they left off. If their possessions are auctioned, these will be lost with no possible way to return them, as a result of a staff member's mistake. I appreciate 3 years ago Red did this, I don't personally agree with the decision for the above reasons - just because we can do something, doesn't mean we should. That being said, I do like this idea for one reason - that it gives players more opportunity to get their hands on rare Pokemon and items, but there's far less detrimental ways to do this. I won't make any suggestions here because I'd like to keep this on topic, it's an interesting discussion, and I wanted to share my thoughts.

This guide is great, thanks for providing it! However, I have one suggestion: Why don't you add the doctor ranks and the experience required to get them? Because I always thought the highest rank was doctor (which feels like it is implied as the Old Lady calls the player that and this guide is even named that way) before I asked in the help channel to find out it was specialist, and I had it already.
