About This Server

House Rules

A free server for friends. There is no store, no ranks and nothing to buy: everything is earned by playing.

Be nice
Don't grief, don't steal, share legendaries fairly. Every block change is logged and can be rolled back.

Gaviota Port

Your home town: healing, shopping, the gym and the battle facilities.

The Plaza

Town Map

Spawn

Everyone arrives at the plaza under the glass roof (646, 83, 3535).

Around you

North: Pokémon Center & Mart
South: purple stairs to the Gym
West: the Port
Plaza edges: Battle Tower, Factory & Rogue

Pokémon Center

Healing Machine

On the front counter. Place your party in it to fully heal. It never runs out of charge on this server.

PC

Beside the counter. Store and swap Pokémon. PC+ adds one searchable list with filters and favourites.

Snack Bar

The Snack Bar barrel in the lobby: free food from every region (Lava Cookies, Casteliacones, Big Malasadas and more). Take what you need, it restocks every second.

Gaviota Mart

Shop

The merchant in the Pokémon Center lobby sells, at main-series prices:

Poké Ball 200, Great 600, Ultra 800
Potion 200, Super 700, Hyper 1,500
Revive 2,000, Full Heal 400
Evolution stones 3,000

Destiny Knot 10,000
Ability Capsule 10,000, Patch 30,000

The Gym

The Arena

The round arena south of the plaza, down the purple stairs. Use /warp tp gym.

Eight pedestals line the field, one per region. Each calls out whichever of its leaders you can face next.

Pedestals

North: Kanto, Borrius, Sinnoh, Sinnoh Doubles
South: Hoenn, Unova, Kalos, Paldea

Each pedestal has its region's name floating above it. Stand a few blocks back and your next leader appears on it; the button beside it calls a different one.

Arena Battles

Talk to a leader to battle. You and the leader are moved onto the trainer spots at each end of the field, facing each other, and the battle begins.

After the battle the leader heads off, and their pedestal calls your next one. Friends battling in the gym get the arena too, one battle at a time.

Challenging

If a leader refuses, you still need an earlier trainer in that series (often a rival).

Win for money, a higher level cap and, from the new regions, a real badge.

Trainer Board

Who's Who

Look up around the spawn point: every trainer has a floating card with their head, title and stats, and their party, with their ace (highest level) glowing gold on top. Cards are ranked by Pokédex.

Titles & Skins

Titles unlock as you play: Pokédex counts, shinies, battles, fishing, breeding, trading, riding, outbreak catches and beating a Champion.

/titles: your titles, click one to wear it
/titles set <title>, /titles clear
/skin set mojang <name> or /skin set elyby <name>: pick where your skin comes from

Battle Facilities

Tower, Factory & Rogue

Their receptionists stand on the plaza edges; battles happen in the gym arena.

Battle Tower: win streaks against tough trainers, Lv 50 or Lv 100, with a leaderboard.
Battle Factory: battle with rented Pokémon and earn Battle Points (BP).
Battle Rogue: a run-based challenge.

Battle Points

Spend Battle Points at the Battle Point Shop next to the Factory desk.

Each facility's Counter NPC resumes or ends your run.

Getting Around

Warps, homes, random teleport and maps.

Trainer Journey

Series, gym leaders, rivals and the level cap.

Trainer Series

How It Works

Progress follows a series of trainers: rivals, gym leaders, Elite Four and Champion.

Trainers spawn around you while you carry a Trainer Card. The Trainer Association in the Pokémon Center lobby lets you pick or switch series.

Main Series

Leagues: Hoenn, Unova, Kalos, Paldea E4

Starfall Street: Team Star

Leagues and villain finales unlock after their gym challenge.

Level Cap

The +5 Rule

Your cap is your next required opponent's strongest Pokémon +5. At the cap, Pokémon stop gaining EXP, and that includes Rare Candy and EXP Candy.

Beat the next trainer to raise it.

Faster EXP

Leveling is fast here
