Adding A Price Check Command On The Discord Bot

[Xouman]

Hi,sometimes we have a poke to sell and we don't know how much we can sell it,of course we can ask on all or pm experienced players who helps when they know and thanks to them,but we can't always find somebody that will know more or less how much our poke can be selled,and at the same time we don't want to be robbed by low offers when in reality the poke value is higher or way higher,so to not stay stuck with a poke without knowing what to do with it here's my sugg :

 

- Adding a PC Command on Discord Bot that will give a Price Range Sell of a poke,based on current meta-market

- Original Pokes + Shinies + Forms

 

I guess it's a hard task to do,but if it's possible that will be very useful for everybody,starting with rarest-most bought ones for example.

@Xouman I’ve discussed this with some members of the community, and while a pricing bot would be a great tool, it wouldn’t be easy to implement effectively. For it to be even somewhat accurate or useful, it would require a massive amount of data, including past auctions and known public sales. It might work reasonably well for common PvP Pokémon if enough data were available, but for less common ones—like Meowstic-Female—its estimates would likely be unreliable, with values fluctuating wildly due to the lack of sufficient data.

 

There are also many variables to consider, such as Pokémon being banned or unbanned, seasonal trends, and hype during certain events. Another major concern is that people might take the bot’s prices as absolute, leading to disputes and frustration within the community. While I fully support the idea of a pricing bot and would love for it to be a helpful tool, Pokémon valuation ultimately depends on player-driven supply and demand at any given moment. Because of this, no bot could ever perfectly dictate prices without causing issues. IMO

I totally understand,so if there is too much data to collect and also too many things outside to consider,then it's way better to let the community set all these prices to avoid all that confusion,thanks for the explanation.
