This is a VB.NET application to automate catching / leveling pokemon in Pokecord the discord bot. This will also send email notifications if selected for the following:
- Legendary
- Mythic
- Ultra Beast
- Alola
This bot also has quick commands for pokecord to simplify the need for typing. ex:
- Toggle detailed view for p!info
- Order p!info by
- Alphabetical
- Number
- Level
- IV
- Select Latest pokemon caught
- Info via p!info <selected/latest>
- Pokemon [p!pokemon] by
- All
- Shiny
- Alolan
- Mega
- Legendary
- Mythical
- Ultra Beast
- Pokedex via p!pokedex <owned/unowned>
- Nickname change
- Favorites list
- Check ballance
- Claim pokedex rewards
The bot also saves your output logs to /logs/ so you can quick search if you need to.
Please keep in mind if you use multiple monitors, this only scans your primary monitor You will have to play with the window size of the discord app, you want it big enough for the bot to try more than once if there is no catch, but enough to bump the pokemon off the screen if there is a catch, but not a level. It's tricky but doable, somewhere near 1117 x 647 on my monitor.
