Travok Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Pro Discord guide The PRO Discord channel is a good tool for all players as well as staff. It allows us to give players information quickly and keep them up to date on disruptions such as maintenance work. There are also a lot of useful tools on the server for players. This guide is to show you how to set up a Discord account, how to join the PRO server and what is available on that server for members. The Discord I have used is the Discord app for windows PC. Downloading Discord and the layout of Discord is different between the PC version and the android version but setting up a Discord account, the pro Discord server and bot commands are the same for both PC and android. To download Discord onto an android device just go into play store, search Discord and download. Index [goto=1]1. Setting up a Discord account[/goto] [goto=2]2. Screen layout[/goto] [goto=3]3.

Setting up a Discord account[/anchor] Go to https://Discordapp.com/ and the screen will look like the image below. Reveal hidden contents Click on the download for windows button, inside the red circle in the picture above and it’ll give you the option to dowload the Discordsetup.exe file shown in the picture below. Reveal hidden contents You select save file and it’ll begin downloading the setup file for Discord. Run the program and follow the instructions in it to download Discord onto your computer. Once Discord is set up and you run the program it will come up with the page in the picture below. You will need to click on the circled register button to create an account. Reveal hidden contents Once that is done you will need to type in your email address and create a username and password before clicking continue as shown below. Reveal hidden contents You will be logged in once that is done and appear at the page in the picture below, you will also need to go into your email account you used and click on the verification link in the email, this step is important as you will not be able to join a server until it is done. Reveal hidden contents Click on join a server and your screen should look like the picture below. You will need to input a instant invite code for the server you wish to join. The invite code for PRO Discord server is: https://discord.gg/TcAdcPx enter it into the box like below and select join. Reveal hidden contents Once you’ve done that you’ll appear on the PRO Discord page in the server rules section. Please read all the rules carefully as they will be enforced by the staff. You will also see a countdown at the bottom of the page, circled in the picture below, this is the amount of time you need to be a member on the server before you can post anything so use that time to read the rules. On the right is a list of the people currently on the server and on the left is a list of the different channels on the server. Reveal hidden contents [anchor=2]2. Screen layout[/anchor] Mute – The button circled in the picture below will mute the channel you are on. It will stop all unread indicators and notifications unless you are specifically tagged. Reveal hidden contents Pinned messages – The button circled in the picture below will open up the pinned message for that channel. These are messages that have been saved so that members can find them easily at a later date. Pinned message often contain either important or helpful information for members. Each channel has different messages pinned and some have no messages pinned at all. It’s recommended that you go through all the channels and read the pinned messages in each. Reveal hidden contents Members list – The button, circled in the picture below, will show/hide the members list side bar Reveal hidden contents Mentions – The circled button in the picture below will show you all posts that you have been tagged in. Reveal hidden contents Help – The help button, circled in the picture below, will open up the help menu. Reveal hidden contents Mute/deafen – These buttons, circled below, are for voice chats. The mute will make it so that everyone else in the chat cannot hear you while deafen make it so that you cannot hear them. Reveal hidden contents Settings – The setting button, circled below, will open up the settings options for you Discord account. Reveal hidden contents [anchor=3]3. Assigning yourself a server[/anchor] The first thing you want to do is to read the server rules page. The top of the server rules page will look like the picture below. Reveal hidden contents Once you read all the rules you want to follow the directions in the red circle in the picture above and connect yourself to the server/s you play on. Scroll down the left hand side until you get to player zone: bot commands, circled yellow. You will need to type into the chat box “?rank your server” as shown in the red circle in the picture below. As you can see, in the yellow circle below, your name will be white before assigning yourself a server to show that you’re not connected to any server. Reveal hidden contents As you can see in the red circle in the picture below, it will come up with a message to tell you that you’ve joined a server. In the yellow circle you will see that the colour of your name has changed. Reveal hidden contents [anchor=4]4. Discord channels[/anchor] There are five sections in the Discord server for general members: events and tournaments, information, player zone, trade and voice chat. All sections are shown in the red circle in the picture below. Reveal hidden contents Each section can be opened and closed also if you have an unread message on one of the channels it is highlighted white as shown in the picture below in the red circle. Reveal hidden contents [anchor=5]5. Events and tournaments[/anchor] Reveal hidden contents The four channels in the events and tournaments section are: Ladder tournament Player hosted events Guess the pokemon event Pokemon trivia event Ladder tournament – this is where the replays for the pro pvp ladder tournaments are posted. The top pvp players on each server at the end of each season are given the option of entering and you can find a link to the table and see how they battled each other in the replays. Player hosted events – this channel is for advertising player hosted events and giveaways. Only staff and Discord mods can post in this section and any requests to post an event needs to be made to one of them. Most of them will be on a specific server and when it is it will be labelled clearly that it is for that server only. Guess the pokemon – This channel was specifically for a guess the pokemon game held on the 24/12/17. Pokemon trivia event – The channel was specifically for a pokemon trivia contest held on the 25/12/17. [anchor=6]6. Information[/anchor] Reveal hidden contents This is probably the most important area on the Discord server and is an area you should always keep an eye on. In the information section is: Announcements Server rules Pro useful links Guilds Announcements – This is where staff keep you up to date on events that are happening behind the scenes. If the servers crash, it is here that they will let you know when they are back up. Maintenance work will be announced in this section as well as events, recruitment and a whole range of other things. Anything pro or Discord related that the staff feel members need to know will be put here and if it’s important they will tag members as well. Server rules – This is where the server rules are. Please read them all as ignorance of the rules is not a valid defence for breaking them. By being on the server you agree to follow these rules so you do need to know them. This is the channel you appear in when you first join the server so you cannot say you didn’t know they were there. Pro useful links – This is the second most useful channel on the server in my opinion. It has a lot of links to different areas on the forum including a lot of guides. It is an excellent resource for any player and even experienced players use them. Story quest guides; game mechanics like repel trick, dig spots, ev and iv explanation thread; game data guides like tm locations and move tutors; and loads more. Guilds – This channel is a list of guild active in game. It has the name of guilds from all three servers and links to their recruitment pages on the forum. If you have a guild and want you guild listed, you need to create a recruitment page and then follow the instructions at the top of the guild channel. [anchor=7]7. Player zone[/anchor] Reveal hidden contents Player zone is the main chat area of the Discord. It is where most players spend their time on the server. Player zone has 7 channels in it: General Support Bot commands Pvp showdown Art Mapping Video streams General – This is the general chatting area on the Discord. You can talk about anything you want here with the other members as long as you stay within the server rules. Support – This is like help chat in game. If you have a problem or game related query post it here and someone will come along and help you. This channel has the same rule as help chat, keep things help related. Bot commands – this is by far the most useful channel on the server for members in my opinion. This is the area where you will type all the bot commands. Dyno bot, reborn bot and all the others. They can all be found and used in this channel. Please see the end of this guide for an abridged list of the bot commands available in the server. Pvp showdown – this channel is for all pvp talk. Talk about teams, moves or tiers, it all goes here. You can also post replays of your battles for others to watch. It’s not just for showdown, video of pro battles can be placed here as well. Art – as the name suggests this channel is for art or art related topics. Show off you work on this channel and advertise art services such as forum signature shop (leave 24 hours between each advertisement). There are some rules to this channel such as no NSFW art and not uploading other people’s art as your own. If you’re going to upload other peoples art make sure you have their permission and that you credit them for it. Mapping – a place to show off you mapping skills. Create your own maps and put them here for scrutiny. Look at the work of the other members as well. There is a mapping program in the pinned messages for you to use. The mapping team may even give you pointers from time to time if asked nicely. Video streams – This channel is used to post your pro videos as well as to advertise your live streams. [anchor=8]8. Trade[/anchor] Reveal hidden contents Please not that you will not be able to write in the trade channel for a server you have not assigned yourself to. There are three channels in the trade section, one for each of the servers and you should only post in the channel for the server you wish to do the trade on. All three channels are the same; the only difference is the server they are for. In the trade section you can: Make a request to buy Put up pokemon & items to sell, please provide a screenshot of the pokemon when you post Advertise or request EV and levelling service advertise you shop on the forum Please note that pro trade rules apply to this channel. Do not spam requests or advertisements and leave at least 24 hours before reposting a previous trade shout. So if you’re selling a Dragonite and a Gyarados you can post both but you can only post each one once in any 24 hour period. [anchor=9]9. Voice chat[/anchor] Reveal hidden contents There are four voice channels in the voice chats section and a text channel to accompany the voice chats. One of the chats is specifically for staff but members can use the other three. To be able to use voice chats you need to reach level 7 on the mee6 bot on the server. [anchor=10]10. Bot commands[/anchor] The two main areas on the server that you will use bot commands are in voice chat for the music bot and in bot commands for the rest. There are a lot of bot commands and some of them will only be available to moderators. Below I have listed the more common used bot commands for members. Dyno bot commands, all the commands in this section need to be prefaced with ?

Always check the pvp rules thread on the forum when using a smogon suggestion if you are unsure if it is allowed in pro. dex (pokemon) – shows the pokedex entry for the selected pokemon. move (move name) – This will tell you if the move is a TM and if so where to get it or if a tutor teaches it and if so where the tutor is. It also gives a description of the move telling you its type, physical/special/non-damaging, its base damage, its accuracy and the base pp count. It also has a pro notes section that tell you if you need happiness to use outside of battle, if the move is bugged in game and if it is banned in pvp. boss (boss name) – this will list all information you need about a boss. The bosses name, where to find them, if there is a cooldown and how long it is, the requirements you need to challenge them, their team and their pokemons move set, as well as what reward you get from them. item (item name) – this command will list all the pokemon that can be found holding the selected item along with their level, the map you can find them in, the area on the map to find them, time of day to find them, the pokemons rarity and whether you need ms to find the pokemon. info (item name) – this gives a description of what the selected item does. up (server name) – this tell you whether the server is online and if so how many people are currently on it. hp – this command will tell you the hidden power of the pokemon in the screenshot.

It shows the ev, where to train and the pokemon to battle in those areas. poketime – this command show the current time in game.
