VortexBot v5

Bot for pokemon-vortex.com v5, running in Python with Selenium in Chrome (on Windows and Mac)

- Setup

To install all the dependencies, run: sudo python3 setup.py install

It is recommended to update the move, multiplier and pokemon database files, but might not be required To do so run:

• python3 update_movedb.py
• python3 update_multiplierdb.py
• python3 update_pokedb.py

- Selenium

For Selenium we're going to need to install the ChromeDriver (WebDriver for Chrome), from:

http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

The ChromeDriver version should match your current Chrome version, to see what that is, go to:

chrome://settings/help

Place the downloaded chromedriver.exe (or chromedriver on Mac) in the req folder of this repository

- Usage

Once you've finished setting up the config.yml you can run the bot with python3 vortexbot.py

- Config

The config.yml is where the bot gets all it's inputs from

It's a YML file that you will need to set up before starting the bot, the fields that are required to change are 'username' and 'password'.

• Player

  player:
  username: 'my_username'
  password: '12345abcd'
  

• Pokemon

  For every rarity type, namely COMMON, RARE, LEGENDARY, ULTRA you can set up groups to select pokemon on, or leave them empty to catch every pokemon of that rarity For example below config will only catch COMMON pokemon if they meet the property requirement(s) of one of the following groups:

  • not in collection which is caught: 0 (not obtained)
  • shiniesss which is special: Shiny
  • unhealthy obsession which is special: Metallic AND name: Klink

  And will always catch other rarity types because they have no group(s)

  pokemon:
    COMMON:
      not in collection:
        caught:
          - 0
      shiniesss:
        special:
          - Shiny
      unhealthy obsession:
        special:
          - Metallic
        name:
          - Klink
    RARE:
    LEGENDARY:
    ULTRA:
  

  The list of properties that can be used in the groups is:

  • Properties:

  caught

    '0' - (not obtained)
    '1' - (obtained, but not this season)
    '2' - (obtained, this season)
  

  name

    'Swablu' - (any pokemon name from that rarity)
  

  special

    'Shiny'
    'Shadow'
    'Dark'
    'Mystic'
    'Metallic'
  

• Restock

  For every regular pokeball (Poke Ball, Great Ball and Ultra Ball) specify at what point the bot should restock them (min) and up to what amount it should buy them (goal)

• Modes

  • catch - Walk from left to right until a pokemon matching the config shows up, it will catch it and repeat.
  • sidequest - Battle all sidequests, leaving 10 seconds between each victory at the minimum, collecting rewards inbetween and resetting sidequests once all have been finished. (2121 at the time of writing) (RISKY)
  • gyms - Battle all required (remaining) gyms needed to catch legendaries (excludes the final battles).
  • clanbattle - Similar to sidequest, fight clanbattles until stopped.
  • wildfight - Instead of catching wild pokemon, you can defeat any pokemon from your selection groups.

  If anything else is put as mode it will be used like so https://www.pokemon-vortex.com/ + mode and will fight this url on repeat. For example: battle-gym/Brock would fight the first gym on repeat
