Server Features
PokemonSMP is built around three core systems: land claims, pasture breeding, and the Global Trade Station.
🏠 Golden Shovel Claims
Every new player receives a free golden shovel. Right-click two corners of your land to create a protected zone. Inside your claim:
✔ Chests & items locked
✔ Blocks cannot be broken
✔ Pasture Pokemon protected
✔ Claim up to 5 chunks / player
Claim Commands: /claim • /trust [player] • /unclaim
🥚 Pasture Breeding
Place a Pasture Block and put two compatible Pokemon inside. Feed them while they have hearts to produce eggs:
✨ Same egg group = breedable
⏳ Eggs hatch over time
🌟 Chance for shiny offspring
🎁 IVs inherit from parents
🌐 Global Trade Station (GTS)
List a Pokemon on the GTS with your requested trade, or search listings from other trainers worldwide. Trades complete automatically when both sides match.
Quick Access: /gts opens the market from anywhere.
Alola Region
The 1:1 Alola recreation spans four islands. Complete each Island Trial to unlock the next and earn your Z-Ring upgrade.
🏝️ Island Trials
Melemele: Verdant Cavern — Totem Gumshoos
Akala: Brooklet Hill — Totem Wishiwashi
Ula'ula: Hokulani Observatory — Totem Vikavolt
Poni: Vast Poni Canyon — Totem Kommo-o
Tip: Trials reset every 24h — farming them is the fastest way to earn rare Z-Crystals.
⚡ Z-Moves
Equip a Z-Crystal to your lead Pokemon, charge the meter in battle, then press G to unleash a devastating Z-Move:
🔥 Firium Z — Inferno Overdrive
💧 Waterium Z — Hydro Vortex
🌿 Grassium Z — Bloom Doom
⚡ Pikanium Z — Catastropika
🎖️ Kahuna Battles
Defeat all four Kahunas — Hala, Olivia, Nanu and Hapu — to claim the title of Alola Champion and unlock the Hall of Fame rank on the server.
