Hey there! If you talked to all three Pokemon in Professor Oak's Lab, being Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle, you could claim the Pokeball, with the Lightning Bolt on it, at the end of the room aswell. This Pokeball contains Pikachu. Unfortunately, you cannot change your starter Pokemon anymore. I am sorry for this. Unfortunately, you cannot trade cross-server. Once there was the option to change your server, meaning that you were able to switch your whole account to either Gold Server or Silver Server, depending on the server you play on most. This option is currently not available, once it is you will be notified on either the Forums or the Official PRO Discord. I hope that this reply clarified some things for you. If you have more questions, feel free to let me know below. I hope that you have a great day! Kind regards, Noxious

Hey there! I am going to reply to your questions individually. Let's start with the first one. 1) - In order to teach your Pikachu HM Surf you have to talk to Victor on Route 19, which is located south of Fuchsia City. He will ask you to get HM Surf from the Safari Zone 3 in Kanto, which is located in a house there. After you obtained the HM, you can go to Victor once again and teach your Pikachu the HM Surf. Keep in mind that you can only do this if your starter Pokemon is Pikachu! 2) - The Pokemon Daycare is not only for people with an active Membership. In order to use the Daycare for its Egg Moves you have to beat Naero, which is a boss in the Cerulean Cave. You can find more about the Naero Boss here, and how to access the Cerulean Cave here. 3) - The option to change your playername is currently not available. Once it is, you will be notified in the Announcement Section on the Forums or on the Official PRO Discord. You can change your hairstyle or the rest of your appearence with the help of the Magic Mirror, which is in the Coin Shop and can be bought for 50 Coins. More information about the Coin Shop can be found here. I hope that the replies above helped you with your questions. If you have any further questions, feel free to let me know. I hope that you have a great day. Kind regards, Noxious

Hey there! As Madtrainer already said, the eight gym in the Hoenn region has two Gym Leaders. In order to obtain the badge, you have to beat both of them. Check this guide here, go to the end of the thread and look at the Sootopolis City Gym paragraph and go from there. I hope that the reply from Madtrainer and myself helped you. If you have any further questions, feel free to let me know. I hope that you have a great day! Kind regards, Noxious

The System Message will appear in every chat for every online player at the same time. After that, one of the users has to go to one of the four different Mysterious Cultists to activate the World Quest. Once it is active, you will see an "Eye Symbol" at the top left of your screen. This symbol will disappear once the World Quest is over.

Hey there! Sorry for the late reply and I am sorry for the inconvenience that was caused. In order to fix the issue, please download the latest client from the Downloads on the forums. Please let me know if this fixed your issue. I hope that you have a great weekend, nevertheless. Kind regards, Noxious

Hey there! Thank you for the feedback. I‘ve been thinking about putting sample teams below every type of team that I have mentioned. However, this would make the thread unecessary long and could be confusing aswell. As I said on the Official PRO Discord when releasing the guide, if players like the concept of this thread I‘ll think about releasing more of these types of guides. They can be more in depth than this one, explain simple stuff or just focus on one team that has been doing super well for a constant amount of time. Once again, thank you for your feedback, it‘s really appreciated.

Hello everyone and welcome to the World Quest and Mysterious Island Guide. This guide has information about the newly introduced World Quest and what you can do with the rewards that you get from being victorious. If you have any questions feel free to state them below. The World Quest is a server-wide event that gives the whole server a task that has to be completed within 24 hours from the time it was started. You can get more information by talking to the Mysterious Cultist located in any of the four port cities, being Vermilion City, Olivine City, Lilycove City or Canalave City. There is a guarenteed World Quest happening on every first day of the month. Keep in mind that this event can also be started manually, giving players more options of getting a Mysterious Ticket. What this item does will be explained below. The Mysterious Cultist will take one Pokemon out of a list with Tier 8 and Tier 9 Pokemon to hunt for every time the World Quest gets triggered. Each server has to hunt the Pokemon that is announced in a System Message and submit, together as a whole server, a total of 160.000 to 190.000 IVs every time the World Quest is active. Submitting a Pokemon to the Mysterious Cultist will count towards the total requirement and subtract it from the total amount. On a sidenote, every Pokemon that gets submitted gets deleted permamently, you will not be able to get it back after submitting it. Therefore, think twice before giving the Mysterious Cultist your precious Pokemon. In order to get a Mysterious Ticket, you have to submit 0.5% of the total amount of IVs that is required. As an example, if the server needs to hunt Solosis with 85653 IVs total, you need to submit at least 429 IVs to get a ticket. You also have the chance to get a second ticket in every event, which you will get by submitting 3% of the total amount of IVs that is required. With the same example of total IVs, you would need to hand in at least 2570 IVs. You do not have to count the IVs yourself. Simply talk to the Cult Accountant next to the Mysterious Cultist in Vermilion City if you want to check the amount of IVs you have submitted in the current event. If the whole server manages to submit the total amount of IVs that were asked for and you submitted at least 0.5% of that amount, you will receive a Mysterious Ticket upon interacting with the Mysterious Cultist once the World Quest is finished. The Mysterious Ticket is a ticket that allows you to access Birth Island by talking to the Mysterious Captain at the Vermilion City Harbor. You have the chance to encounter all of the Legendary Counterparts that you were not able to capture previously. Keep in mind that you have to capture at least one of the following Legendaries in order to be able to catch its counterparts on Birth Island: | | | Azelf, Mesprit, Uxie | Entei, Raikou, Suicune | Latias, Latios | Regice, Regirock, Registeel In order to balance out this awesome opportunity, you have about the same chance to encounter a Legendary as a Pseudo-Legendary, which will have its Hidden Ability. You can encounter one of the following Pseudo-Legendaries: Dragonite, Garchomp, Goodra, Hydreigon, Lucario, Metagross, Rotom, Salamence, Tyranitar, Volcarona, Zoroark These available Pokemon cannot be shiny on Birth Island! Once you enter the Birth Island, your Mysterious Ticket will be removed from the inventory and one of the Pokemon above will spawn. Until you capture the Pokemon that was spawned, run away from it or faint against it will remain on the same spot. Therefore, you can leave the island in order to get Synchronize Pokemon from the Pokemon Center or to buy Master Balls. You now are the owner of one of the previously mentioned Pokemon! Additional uses of the Mysterious Ticket: World Quests lasts for 24 hours from the point it was started Caught Pokemon that you want to submit to the Mysterious Cultist have to be OT (Original Trainer) You get a ticket for 0.5% of the total IVs, and two tickets for 3% of the total IVs If the quest is not completed, nobody will receive a Mysterious Ticket Pokemon that you submit to the Mysterious Cultist are forever lost You can only get every Legendary Pokemon once You can not submit an evolved form of the requested Pokemon Pokemon on Birth Island cannot be shiny Good luck on Birth Island!

Hey there. I double checked if you were able to purchase Mysterious Tickets when they were in the PvP Shop for a very small amount of time, but unfortunately that was not the fact. I checked your items and you have never had a Mysterious Ticket, so you might have mixed up the two names. I hope that this clarified some things for you and I hope that you have a great day, nevertheless. I will now be locking this thread. Kind regards, Noxious

Hey there. Once again, I am sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please check if Red is still on Mt. Silver? Kind regards, Noxious

Hey there! I am sorry for the inconvenience. The Mysterious Ticket was in the PvP Shop a while ago and removed before the new update came on the live servers, but you were never able to purchase it. The PvP Coin shop has Nature Reroll Tickets, which costs 75 PvP Coins each. Could it be that you mixed the ticket names up? Please let me know. I hope that you have a great day! Kind regards, Noxious

Hey there! I am sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please tell me if you meet the following requirements? Red has been fought at the summit of Mt. Silver. Having won is not necessary. 120 caught-data entries of Generation I Pokémon registered in your Pokédex. 34 evolved-data entries registered in your Pokédex. Please let me know once you are available. For now, I hope that you have a great day. Kind regards, Noxious

Hey there! PRO introduced the Battle Tower a few months ago, in case you are mixing it up with the Battle Frontier, which is located in Hoenn in the real games. You can find more information about the Battle Tower here. A few weeks ago, another Battle Frontier "mode" was introduced, namely the Suspicious Bot NPC, where you can battle an NPC for unlimited amount of times if you do not fail. You and the NPC will only be able to use 3 Pokemon. I hope that this cleared up some things for you. If you are unsure about other things, feel free to ask here. I hope that you have a great day! Kind regards, Noxious

Hey there! I am sorry for the inconvenience. We are aware of the Silver Server downtime and working on getting it back up. You will be notified once the server is back up on the Official PRO Discord in the #announcements channel. I hope that both of you have a great day nevertheless. Kind regards, Noxious

Hello everyone and welcome to the Beginners Guide for PvP. This guide will include the main playstyles of the PvP scene as well as checks for them. You will also find more information about how to create viable teams yourself and common Pokemon that you could use for your first PvP team. - PvP Terms and Definitions - Different Playstyles - Building your own Balanced Team - Most Used Pokemon - Common PvP Pokemon Basic Terms: - Meta/Metagame: A term used in multiplayer games meaning the Most Effective Tactic Available. It's basically what works in a game regardless of what you wish would work. - STAB: Same Type Attack Bonus - moves that have the same type as the Pokemon that is using the move gets a 50% base power boost on the attacking move - Hazards: short for Entry Hazards - moves that effect a Pokemon that is switching in - List of Entry Hazards Item Terms: - Life Orb: boosts the power of moves by ~30% in exchange of 10% of the maximum Health Points of the holder - Choice Band: boosts the Physical Attack by 50% in exchange for the picked move to be soft-locked. The effect resets once withdrawn - Choice Specs: boosts the Special Attack by 50% in exchange for the picked move to be soft-locked. The effect resets once withdrawn - Choice Scarf: boosts the Speed by 50% in exchange for the picked move to be soft-locked. The effect resets once withdrawn - Assault Vest: boosts the holders' Special Defense by 50% in exchange for the holder not being able to use status moves - Rocky Helmet: damages the attacker for 1/6 of its total Health Points - Leftovers: restores 1/16 of the holders total Health Points every round - Focus Sash: holder guarenteed lives on 1 Health Point if it had all of its Health Points at the start of the turn, regardless of how powerful the attack of the opponent was IV and EV Terms: - ATK: short for Physical Attack stat - DEF: short for Physical Defense stat - SPD: short for Speed stat - SPAtk: short for Special Attack stat - SPDef: short for Special Defense stat - HP: short for Health Point stat Disclaimer Hyper Offense is one of the hardest playstyles and therefore not the best choice for players who just entered the PvP scene. Main Description Hyper Offense is a playstyle that usually has no tanky Pokemon at all. The main Pokemon of the team is a Stealth Rock or Sticky Web setter that is only used for this purpose. It does not really matter if this Pokemon only does this job. The item Focus Sash allows the Pokemon to get up the hazards in most of the games. This lead usually also carries Taunt in most of the games to prevent the opponent from using Defog. It can also carry a self-harming move such as Memento, Explosion or Double-Edge to prevent the user from using Rapid Spin aswell. An example for a Hyper Offense lead Pokemon would be Azelf, Aerodactyl or Smeargle. Losing a Pokemon does not have to be a disadvantage for the team if you keep up the momentum and your opponent has to react to your moves constantly. Once you lose this momentum you will have a hard time getting back into the game. The rest of the team consists of up to five sweeping Pokemon like Lucario, Gyarados or Dragonite. Your main goal is to get rid of threats to your sweeping Pokemon and to essentially find an opportunity to set up with one of your Pokemon and sweep the rest of your opponents team. You also want to have a variety of physical and special attackers, which gives you less issues against Stall teams. Threats and Weaknesses Hyper Offense is pretty weak against common stall teams featuring defensive Pokemon, especially if they have the Unaware ability. Sweepers may have issues breaking through these types of team combinations, therefore it is a really good counter to Hyper Offense. Main Description Balance is a playstyle that has offensive as well as defensive Pokemon in its team. You want your Pokemon to cover each others weaknesses in order to have a well built team. A Grass/Water/Fire core is really important for these types of teams, especially when it comes to the defensive part of your team. You also want to have some solid Pokemon with set up moves or all out attackers. Balance is the most consistent playstyle. Most Balanced Teams have checks and counters against most of the Pokemon in the metagame and therefore the best odds for winning the game. Threats and Weaknesses Balance is relatively weak against Stall teams, especially if your defensive Pokemon get worn down by hazards or Toxic. If you are playing a Balanced Team you will have to predict your opponent a lot if you want to win the game. Main Description Weather teams always have a way to set up weather, either Rain, Sand, Sun or the less common Hail. I will go in depth for all those types below. You want to limit the switch ins of your Weather sweeper on your opponent's team to win the game as a weather user. You want your team to consist of one Weather setter, at least one Weather sweeper and a bunch of other attackers and tanks that allow you to check the rest of the meta. Rain Teams Main Description Rain Teams are the most common weather teams in the current meta. Their sheer offensive and defensive powers makes them one of the most threatening playstyles overall. The reason for Rain Teams working so good in most of the meta is the fact that Water-type attacks get a damage boost while Rain is on the field. Another notable effect when the rain is up is the fact that Fire-type moves get weaker. Every rain team carries a rain setter, which most of the times is Pelipper. There is a really big variety of rain sweepers you can pick from, the best special one being Kingdra. Make sure to check out the list here for more details. The reason for Swift Swim being so good is the fact that the users speed gets doubled when rain is up. Grass- or Steel-types are really good on rain teams, notably Ferrothorn, Scizor and sometimes even Tangrowth, as their weakness to Fire-type moves gets halfed if the rain is up. Therefore, they are a really powerful defensive option for a Rain Team. Threats and Weaknesses Rain Teams have a really hard time with dealing with bulky Grass-type Pokemon, such as Assault Vest Tangrowth or Leftovers Ferrothorn. In order to break through them, you cannot give them the opportunity to heal and you might need to sacrifice a Pokemon of yours in the process of doing that. Water Absorb or Storm Drain Pokemon give Rain Teams a hard time aswell, especially Mantine or Gastrodon. Sand Teams Main Description Sand Teams work similar to Rain Teams. You want to preserve your Sand Sweeper, the main one being Excadrill, in order to win the game. Rock-type Pokemon gain a Special Defense boost by 1.5 if a Sandstorm is on the field. As Rain Teams, Sand Teams have one Sand Setter on their team, mainly Tyranitar or Hippowdown. You also want to have a Sand Sweeper and some defensive and offensive Pokemon that deal with the weaknesses that the Sand Setter and Sweeper has (mainly Water-, Grass- and Fighting-type attacks). Regenerator Pokemon pair up really well with Sand Teams, because it does not really matter if they take 1/16 per turn if Sand Storm is active. Another postive factor for them is that they can switch in consistently due to their ability. Pokemon like Magnezone or Magic Guard Clefable also go extremely well with Sand Teams. Threats and Weaknesses As said above, Sand Teams have huge problems against Water-, Grass- and Fighting-type attacks. Therefore, its counterpart, Rain Teams, are extremely strong against Sand Teams. Pokemon like Rotom-Wash or Physical Defensive Tangrowth wall and revenge kill most Sand Sweepers with ease. Most of the Sand Sweepers use a Life Orb, which wears them down a lot. Sun Teams Main Description Sun Teams are also built around Sun Setters and abusers, called Sun Sweepers. Examples for Setters would be Torkoal and Ninetales, both with the Drought ability. Sun Abusers can be different types of Pokemon. They can either use the ability Chlorophyll, which doubles the speed of the using Pokemon when Sun is up, or Pokemon that have a powerful Fire-type attack that gets boosted by sun. The latter usually carries a Choice Band or Choice Specs, which gives it an even stronger boost. Examples for a Chlorophyll abuser can be found here and examples for different Fire-types can be found here. Good Tank Pokemon that go well with Sun Teams are Pokemon that are not really weak to Fire-type attacks and Pokemon that can switch in against attacks that threaten Sun Team Pokemon. Threats and Weaknesses Sun Teams have problems against Ground-, Rock- and even Water-type attacks, despite the latter one being halved when sun is up. It also has a hard time against Heatran, which is immune to Fire-type attacks and other weather setters, which get rid of the sun on the field and replace it with the new one, depending on their ability. Sun teams have a hard time against both other dominant weather teams, being Sand- and Rain Teams. Hail Teams Main Description Like all the other Weather Teams, Hail has their own weather setters and abusers. However, as a disclaimer, Hail Teams are the weakest weather teams, but definitely usable. There are a bunch of Hail setters you can pick from, which can be found here. On the other side, Slush Rush, which doubles the speed of the user when in hail, is the ability of only a few Pokemon, which can be found here. Similar to the Sand Storm, Hail damages every Pokemon that is not an Ice-type for 1/16 of their total Health Points. Pokemon that go well with Hail teams are these who don't get damaged by the constant Hail damage, such as Magic Guard Clefable, and these who deal with Pokemon that threaten Hail abusers. Hail Teams is one of the least used play styles but one of the most fun ones for sure. Threats and Weaknesses Ice-types have a large variety of defensive weaknesses and are therefore the worst typing. They don't deal with any of the other three types of weathers too good but they give opposing teams a hard time switching in against the powerful Blizzard. Stealth Rock deal 25% of the total Health Points to Ice-types, which makes it even harder for them to do work. Unless they carry Freeze-Dry, they will also have a hard time breaking through bulky Water-type Pokemon. Disclaimer Stall is among the most difficult archetypes to accurately play in competitive Pokemon. This is not recommended for beginners. Main Description Stall is a playstyle with a team based around outlasting your opponent. Traditionally, this means surviving until chip damage from hazards, status effects, and weak uninvested attacks take out your opponent's threats. Stall teambuilding centers around being able to absorb damage consistently, turn after turn. This means that Pokemon who lack reliable recovery, no matter how bulky, are not a good choice for stall. Furthermore, opposing hazards can easily leave a stall team's defensive Pokemon within 2HKO range of strong attackers, so consistent hazard removal is paramount. However, because the aggressor controls momentum in Pokemon and therefore has the ability to make proactive threats, stall can quickly falter with even one small mistake. It is important to determine which Pokemon on your opponent's team threaten to sweep if your primary check falls, and to take all precautions to prevent that from occurring. Threats and Weaknesses Stallbreakers can single-handedly 6-0 a poorly built stall team, thanks to their resilience to status, reasonable speed, and access to recovery of their own, meaning Stall's weak attacks will not be able to take them down. To mitigate this, it is absolutely imperative that you either build in some aggression, or play a stallbreaker of your own. Examples of Pokemon that you must have a plan to handle include Gliscor (due to Poison Heal and Roost), Nasty Plot Togekiss (due to Heal Bell and Roost), and Mew (due to Taunt, Knock Off, and Roost). These Pokemon don't do much in one turn, but will inevitably defeat a poorly constructed stall team, and still have plenty of utility if checked. Furthermore, wallbreakers with their immediate access to powerful attacks such as Conkeldurr and Specs Latios can run through stall's defensive cores and facilitate a quick end to the game. Setup sweepers such as Dragonite and Tail Glow Manaphy can take advantage of the lack of offensive presence on a stall team to threaten a sweep, but this can be somewhat mitigated by running either Unaware Clefable or Unaware Quagsire. Lastly, continued entry hazard pressure can wear down stall Pokemon and leave them unable to withstand attacks they normally could. As you can see above, there are a bunch of different types of playstyles you can choose from. Every single playstyle has a different difficulty and not every playstyle is suitable for everyone. Therefore, I'll go more in depth on how to build a specific team, being Balance. There are a few important points that you have to keep in mind when building a balanced team. You want to have switch ins for the majority of the meta but also Pokemon that deal with the Pokemon of your opponent offensively. Keeping this in mind you will have great success when building your first team. Fire/Water/Grass Cores Fire/Water/Grass cores gives you a really good defensive as well as offensive type combination. You should pick a Fire-, Water- as well as Grass-type Pokemon for this core. This gives you numerous options to switch in against threats. These types can also threaten your opponent offensively. Keep in mind that these Pokemon can be defensive as well as offensive. Offensive Pokemon such as Azumarill have a fair bulk and can also be used as switch ins. Example for a Fire/Water/Grass core: Volcarona, Gyarados, Tangrowth Dragon/Fairy/Steel Cores Similar to the previous core, Dragon/Fairy/Steel cores gives you another solid core that allows you to switch in against powerful threats in the metagame. You should pick a Dragon-, Fairy-, and Steel-type Pokemon for this core. Once again, this core can also be used offensively. Another positive fact is, that you can mix your Fire/Water/Grass cores with your Dragon/Fairy/Steel cores. Therefore, for example Ferrothorn, which has a Grass- and Steel-typing, can be used for both cores. Example for a Dragon/Fairy/Steel core: Dragonite, Clefable, Excadrill Important Moves One of the most important moves that every balanced team should have, are: Stealth Rock, Defog or Rapid Spin. You should be able to control hazards on a balanced team. Stealth Rock are really important to chip down the opponent's team. The damage is depending on how weak they are against Rock-type attacks. Foes lose 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 of their maximum HP, rounded down, based on their weakness to the Rock type; 0.25x, 0.5x, neutral, 2x, or 4x, respectively. For example, Volcarona, which is 4x weak to Rock-type attacks, loses 50% of its total Health Points upon switching in. Furthermore, they are also really useful to break Sturdy or Focus Sashes on Pokemon, which would otherwise live on one Health Point. Defog or Rapid Spin is a way of getting rid of hazards, such as Stealth Rock, Spikes, Toxic Spikes or Sticky Web. Additionally, Defog can also get rid of Light Screen, Reflect or Aurora Veil.

You are welcome! ~ Locked as resolved ~

Hey there! I am really sorry for the inconvenience that came up. We are aware of the issue, but unfortunately there is no ETA when the fix is going to happen. As you might know, PRO is still in its Beta Phase, so things like that may occur over the time. In order to fix the issue, please try the following steps: 1) - Teach the Chansey another move, this move should be as cheap as possible, in order to prevent more money loss. 2) - Stealth Rocks should now be visible on the Pokemon's Information Card and you should be able to use it accordingly. Please let me know if those steps fixed the Move Tutor issue for you. Once again, I am really sorry for the inconvenience but I hope that you have a nice day regardless. Kind regards, Noxious

Hey there! I am sorry for the inconvenience. Your new name has capitalized letters as you can see on your forum name. Having this name in-game is not possible, in order to avoid issues with NPCs asking for OT Pokemon, such as Hannah, who you need to talk to in order to go to Sinnoh. We are aware of the guild bug, but this should hopefully be fixed once the server crashed/restarted. Unfortunately, there is no ETA about that. Planned maintenances are announced on PRO's Official Discord, so feel free to join that Discord server for future updates. I hope that this clarified some things for you. Please let me know if the next server restart/crash fixed your guild bug. I hope that you have a nice day regardless. Kind regards, Noxious

Hey there! I am sorry for the inconvenience that was caused. Could you try to battle a wild Pokemon? The Golbat and Swadloon should evolve after that was done. Please let me know if this worked for you. Kind regards, Noxious

Farewell.

. . I hope that this guide helped you with your questions about the Bug Catching Contest. Good luck in the contest! Contribution Nebulas, original owner of the former version of the guide: Bug Catching Contest Guide
