What’s new

5 September 2026

Eight new commands

Stream and video alerts, keyword DMs, an embed builder, sticky messages, invite tracking, a player marketplace, reminders and birthdays. Grass Knot works again too.

Things that reach you

Keyword alerts by DM

/highlight add watches for a word in this server, up to ten of them, and DMs you the message with a link. Whole words only, so a keyword of ana will not fire on banana. You will never get one from a channel you cannot read. /highlight ignore mutes a channel or a person.

Personal reminders

/remind me 2h feed the cat. It arrives in the channel you set it in and pings nobody but you. /remind list and /remind cancel do the rest. No clock times: the bot does not know your timezone.

Birthdays

/birthday set takes a day and a month. No year, so the bot never knows anybody’s age. If yours is 29 February you get wished on 1 March in the years that skip it. Mods set the channel, the wording and an optional role for the day.

The marketplace

Members can sell to each other through the auction house now.

Selling your own things

/auction sell lists one of your own Pokemon or items. The winning bid is paid to you, less a small house cut. Your lot is held while the auction runs and comes back if nobody bids. Favourites and party Pokemon are refused.

Picking the lot

Start typing in reference and the auction offers real names. It used to want an id like headgear:3165.

For mods

Social alerts

/alerts add watches a Twitch channel, a YouTube channel or any RSS feed. /alerts check reads a source right now and shows what came back. The first check stays quiet, so adding a channel with ten videos does not post ten times. Three sources free, ten on Basic, unlimited on Super.

The embed builder

/embed create builds an embed with the embed as the preview. Post it, load one back to edit in place, or save it as a server template. The character limit Discord actually enforces sits under the preview as you type.

Sticky messages

/modset sticky set keeps a message at the bottom of a channel. It waits for the room to go quiet before moving.

Invite tracking

/invites on works out which link each new member used. /invites me, who and top answer the rest. Some joins cannot be pinned on anybody, and it says which kind: the vanity URL, two links used at the same moment, or a missing permission. Off by default.

Fixed

Fourteen moves dealt no damage

Grass Knot, Low Kick, Heavy Slam, Heat Crash, Electro Ball, Gyro Ball, Eruption, Water Spout, Flail, Reversal, Crush Grip, Wring Out, Return and Frustration all did nothing at all. They work now.

Held items duplicated

One pair of Leftovers could be worn by your whole box. Equipping a held item takes it out of your bag now, and taking it off puts it back. Pokemon already holding a duplicate were left alone.
