#### **8. I keep hearing people talking about "IRLS" in chat. What is that?**

* An IRL is the name for trading: In game; money, Pokémon, services or items for on store things such as: Gems, Ranks, Keys etc. **However** you can't offer in game things for PayPal or external offers for things in other games. That is against the rules and will result in an Instant ban.

#### **9. People keep asking for "BP" or "BR" Pokémon. What's that?**

* BP means "Battle Perfect". This means that the Pokémon has the best nature for it's base stats. Once it has the perfect nature it needs to have the perfect IV spread. This needs to be at least 83% and will most often have 5 out of the 6 IVs being 31. To quickly find out which IV is not needed, open your inventory, right click the Pokémon in your party on the left of your inventory, click "Stats". The Red Stat is the IV that is least needed. This will be the Stat that isn't 31, and the green stat is the stat that the nature increases. That is a "Battle Perfect" or BP Pokémon.
* BR means "Battle Ready". This means that not only is the Pokémon BP, as discussed above, but it also is level 100, EV trained and has the held item it needs for battle. This will make it Battle Ready.

#### **10. How do I trade Gems?**

* To trade gems, the player buying the gems will tell you what they want done and to which Pokémon. They then give you said Pokémon and you type "/pokedesigner" in game. You then change what they asked for on the Pokémon. Then you give it back and they pay you for it at the same time. Make sure to screenshot or screen-record the trade to avoid scamming and use "/Safetrade [username]" in game as it's logged and can be used in the case of scamming.

#### **11. Can I get to other dimensions? And how do I get Ultra Beasts?**

* All Dimensions, excluding the Overworld such as; The End, The Nether and Ultra space are all disabled due to lag. You can get all Pokémon that spawn in The End or The Nether in the Overworld.
* Do "/wiki [Pokémon] biome" - to see **where** they spawn and do "/wiki [Pokémon] time" - to see **when** they spawn.
* All Ultra beasts can be obtained from /warp casino in game using Casino tokens, Ditto x Ditto eggs (Breeding), Random / Shiny Pokémon Eggs or texture eggs bought on our store (For Aura Ultra-Beasts).

*The link to this is on the home page, linked in the word store previously and you can type /buy in game for a direct link to the items you're after.*

#### **12. How do I equip the Mega Or Dynamax Band?**

* Mega-Band: Open your inventory. If you have the recipe book opened close it. On the far left of your inventory, click the little arrow pointing to the left > Click the second to top icon that appears > Select between the Mega-Necklace, Mega-Band, Mega-Glasses, Or Mega-Clip. They all do the same thing, just look different on the character. Once selected you can use the Mega holder to mega evolve your Pokémon (that are equipped with a mega stone) in any PvP battles (If both Players have mega bands equipped).
* Dynamax-Band: Open your inventory. If you have the recipe book opened close it. On the far left of your inventory, click the little arrow pointing to the left > Click the top icon that appears > Select the Dynamax-Band Icon. Once selected you can use the Dynamax-Band to Dynamax your Pokémon in any battle.

#### **13. What is Pokérus?**

* Pokérus is essentially a Disease/Virus for Pokémon. It's spread by contact via Pokémon in your party. This means that if one Pokémon in your party has Pokérus, it will spread through-out your party and infect all your Pokémon. **However** Do not worry, Pokérus isn't a harmful disease. Instead it buffs your Pokémon. This means it increases the amount of EXP and EV's your Pokémon will get as they level up!

#### **14. What is the quickest easiest way to make money?**

* There is no "quick" way to make money. However there is a way that is very very simple. It just takes time. Get a level 100 Electric/Grass Type Pokémon (Electric is preferred). Put an Amulet coin on it (To get an amulet coin in game, type /shop, Click "Battle Items" and it's the 3rd item in. They cost $1,000 PokéCoins). Now find a large Platform in a deep Ocean biome at night time and kill trainers that spawn. With this method you can earn roughly 20-40k per Minecraft night (20Minutes). Some great examples of Deep Ocean Platforms across the Network are as follows:
	+ Gold: /pwarp Afbrydelse
	+ Silver: /pwarp VlonekKnight
	+ Emerald: /pwarp Myth1calReaper
	+ Crystal: /pwarp BMG27
	+ Ruby: /pwarp Plasma\_Mob

#### **16. What are Power items and what do they do / How do I EV train?**

* Power items are used when EV training. Each Power item (Listed below) gives 6 of it's respected EV's to the Pokémon being trained instead of the base yield (Shown later on). To EV train a Pokémon you need to defeat other Pokémon of certain types. Specific Pokémon "drop / give" different EV stats to the Pokémon that defeated them. For a full list of what Pokémon yield which EV's click here.
* Power items are also used in breeding. When the Pokémon breeding is holding one of the following Power items, the stat listed next to them is passed down in it's entirety to the egg. For example, if the parent is holding a Power Anklet, the speed stat of that parent is passed down;. Whether it's 1, 31 or anything in-between.
* The table below shows what Power item is used for which EV Yield:
	+ Power Items:
		- - HP: Power Weight
		- - Attack: Power Bracer
		- - Defense: Power Belt
		- - Sp.Attack: Power Lens
		- - Sp.Defense: Power Ban
		- - Speed: Power Anklet

#### **17. How do I breed on the server?**

* There are 2 ways in which you can breed Pokémon on our server.
	+ The most used custom feature is /daycare. It's a GUI ranch block that is free to use and doesn't cost in game money/resources. It also doesn't require any space in game or use up an environment like tradition ranch blocks. You can Purchase additional pens within the GUI for gems. Gems are a custom Premium currency used on the server. *(More information in the next section below)*
	+ The second way is Ranch Blocks. Usually these can be crafted, however on Pokécentral, that is disabled. In order to get ranch blocks simply type the command: /kit ranchblock or go to /spawn. **However** they do **cost 200k per ranch block** and you will need to find space to place them down. They require a 9x9 flat surface, and you need to create an "environment" for the Pokémon to breed. For more information go to the Pixelmon breeding wiki.

#### **18. What are gems and how do I get them?**

* Gems are a premium currency that's custom to Pokécentral. They can be used as a currency within;
	+ /Pokedesigner - Used to pay to edit certain features.
	+ /daycare - Used to purchase additional pen slots.
	+ /Pokéhunts - Used to start additional Hunts during the cooldown for the free hunt.
* Gems can be obtained through various methods , Including but not limited to;
	+ Pokéhunts - Rewards from Pokéhunts Include Gems, Items and Pokécoins.
	+ Voting - 30 gems are given as a booster reward each day when players vote on 5+ links (In addition to the Vote keys rewarded.)
	+ Premium / Rare Crates - Gems can be obtained as rewards from Premium keys (Given in Veteran, Master and Champion weekly kits), and Rare keys (Purchased via our store)
	+ Achievements - Some achievements give gems as rewards for completion.
	+ Store - Gems can be purchased as a stand alone package from our store.

#### **19. What are Tidal and Clear bells and how do they work?**

* The Tidal and Clear Bells are used to obtain the Tower Duo Pokémon (Lugia and Ho-Oh Legendaries respectively.) They can be placed on the underside of any **full** block and hang below and resemble that of a spherical bell's outer shell.
	+ Clear Bell - has a golden-orange colour and a rounded shell shape, that's used to spawn Ho-Oh.
	+ Tidal Bell - has a whitey-blue colour and long rain drop shape, that's used to spawn Lugia.
* The Bell Pokémon only spawns when the placer of the bell is within a certain amount of blocks. This means if you're not online, it might ring (If the chunk it's placed in is loaded by any player), but it won't spawn until the chunk it's placed in is loaded by the placer of the bell. There is no maximum length of time a bell can ring for before it's loaded and spawned in.
* Every dawn there is a 0.5% chance for it to start ringing if the chunk is loaded by any player, and the next Dawn when the chunk is loaded by the placer is guaranteed to spawn the respective Legend..

#### **20. What is a server reset and how often do they occur?**

* A server reset is a period of time (Usually 1-2 weeks) in which the server shuts down. During this period of time **everything** on the server is wiped clean, and a fresh new world is loaded in. All server builds I.e Spawn, warps etc are also pasted in before re-opening. These Hard resets Typically happen once annually during the summer (Typically Early-Mid July.)
* What can you keep during the reset:
	+ /Pokevault - The pokevault is a custom tool we have that allows each player to "store" 28 Pokémon of their choice form their party/pc into the vault. The vault is then transferred over to the new map enabling each player to carry across 28 Pokémon to the new map. After a set cooldown period, each player is then allowed to redeem 1 Pokémon from their vault every day. After the first month (Roughly) the vaults are entirely opened allowing everything to be removed.
		- *All items held by Pokémon will be wiped when they're placed in the vault.*
	+ Ranks - All ranks purchased from the server store are carried across during restarts. This means whatever rank you had prior to the reset, you will also have after the reset. Along with this all rank kits are kept as well as any other perks you get from purchasing the rank I.e Claim blocks.
	+ Gems - All gems currently in your balance (/gems) are transferred over. This means however many gems you had Pre-Reset you have Post-Reset too.
	+ Claim blocks - All claim blocks given as perks of ranks or as default are kept. All earnt and accumulated claim blocks from the previous map are wiped.

### **Support & Technical Questions/Answers:**

#### **1. I'm having issues joining the server. It says I'm using a VPN/Proxy when I'm not. How do I fix this?**

* Log out of your account (Both Minecraft and Technic) and log back in.
* Reset you modem/Router manually by unplugging it (Or switching it off). Leave it unplugged for roughly 30 seconds. Each machines reset time varies, so 30 seconds average is a good amount of time for most machines. After the time has passed, turn it back on and try to connect again.
* If this didn't work try these steps: Go to your computer settings > Go to Network/Internet > Click "VPN". Double check all the boxes as some Computers automatically check/Uncheck boxes. Find "Allow VPN under metered connections" and "Allow VPN while roaming" and change them regardless of whether they were checked or not. If this still doesn't work make sure to go back and change them to what they were previously set to.
* If this didn't work try these steps: Go to your computer settings > Go to Network/Internet > Click "Proxy". Unless you specifically made a Proxy, make sure all boxes are unchecked. If you use a family or shared Computer, check with the other users before disabling this Proxy as they may have made it specifically. If not, Un-check all boxes and try to reconnect.
* Make sure you're not using any Custom mods. These can sometimes trigger VPN warnings. Re-install the modpack if you're using one, and remove any odd or possibly un-trustworthy mods and try to reconnect.
* VPN-Guard will sometimes set of False-Positives similarly to other VPN/Proxy Plugins. This can be the cause of the issue. Try changing your IP and it should fix this issues on a specific level.
* Try changing the default language to the same language of the country you're currently in. If it's not different, try changing it to a random language, connect and then change it back and try reconnecting.
* If none of this works. Delete Minecraft entirely from your System and re-install it. If you're using Technic, do the same with Technic.
