Clans, Friends & Chat
Three connected social systems: the clan gives you a permanent damage bonus for one element, friends let you keep track of who plays alongside you, and the global chat connects the whole world.
Element clans
The trainer joins one element clan and gains a permanent damage % bonus to that element's moves. Element points come from the contracts of that element on the task board: the higher the contract tier, the more points it pays.
Points also help with capture: each point in an element gives +0.25% catch chance against pokémon of that element, up to +10%. This bonus applies to every element you have points in, even without joining that clan.
- There are 18 clans, one for each canonical element. Examples: Volcanic (fire), Seavell (water), Raibolt (electric), Naturia (grass), Frostbound (ice), Malefic (poison), Wingeon (flying), Psycraft (psychic), Drakemoor (dragon), and more.
A clan does not take just any trainer. To knock on the door you need:
| Requirement to join | Value |
|---|---|
| Trainer level | 32 |
| Element points | 15 |
| High tier contracts of that element delivered | 3 (tier III, IV or V) |
A high tier contract is one that pays 4 points or more. A tier I contract gives 1 point, and since tasks are one-time, the easy ones alone are not enough: you have to close the big contracts of that element.
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| First join | free |
| Switch clan | 50 tokens, one switch per week |
| Your points when switching | kept, tracked per element |
Ranks and bonuses (element points, added up from delivered contracts):
| Rank | Title | Points needed | Damage bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Iniciado | 15 (the entry) | +5% |
| 2 | Adepto | 24 | +8% |
| 3 | Veterano | 32 | +12% |
| 4 | Mestre | 40 | +15% |
You join as Iniciado and climb as you deliver the element's contracts. Since each task is done only once, reaching Mestre means clearing practically the whole element: an endgame grind.
The way to earn points is the task board: every contract you deliver adds points to its element, even if you are not affiliated yet. You can prepare your entry into a clan before knocking on its door.
The weekly campaign
Every week the whole clan gets a campaign: three collective goals against your element's natural enemies. The week turns over on Monday, 00:00 (Brasília time).
| Piece | What counts | Per member |
|---|---|---|
| Patrol | Killing any pokemon | ~1,000 |
| Hunt | Killing pokemon that are weak to your element | varies by element |
| Recruitment | Catches of your element | 12 |
The clan's goal is the per-member value multiplied by its active members. The bigger the clan, the bigger the target, so a large clan does not win for free.
The Hunt piece changes size with the element, on purpose: fire runs into 23.7% of the world, dragon runs into 2.9%. Without that correction, a dragon clan would hunt eight times longer for the same prize. Converted, the cost in time is the same for everyone: around 4h30 per member per week.
Since the targets come out of the same hunting window, completing the Patrol already delivers much of the Hunt. The campaign does not ask you to change regions.
The prize
Hitting the goal gives the clan two things:
- +5 percentage points of element damage, for everyone, until the end of the week;
- an individual prize proportional to what each member contributed.
The weekly bonus expires on its own at the turnover and does not travel with you if you change clans.
Friends
The friends system lets you keep a list of other trainers and follow them:
- Friends list: add and remove other trainers.
- Presence: see who's online.
- Profile + team: open a friend's profile and view their team.
- Chat: talk privately with your friends.
Chatting with someone who isn't your friend
You don't need to be friends with someone to send a private message. Click their name in the chat and pick Send private message: the chat opens in the Friends tab, just the same.
The conversation shows up in both lists as soon as the first message is sent. While you two aren't friends, the card above the window shows only the name: the profile and the team are still a friend thing, and the button to send the friend request is right there.
To hold back anyone who only wants to spread ads, you can open up to 15 new conversations per hour with people who aren't your friends. Replying to someone who wrote to you first doesn't count toward that limit. Someone you blocked can't write to you, and you can't write to them.
Message from the team
Every now and then the game team may talk to you privately. The conversation shows up at the top of your friends list, with the name Admin in red and a seal next to it. You don't have to accept anything, and you can reply in the same window.
The seal is the proof: no player can fake it. If someone claims to be from the team anywhere else (in chat, in a trade, in a friend request), they are not. The team never asks for your password or your access code.
Global chat
A world-wide chat with two tabs:
- World: general talk, for all players.
- Trade: the channel for trade listings. Want to sell, buy or swap something? Post it here.
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Requirement to post | level 5 |
The global chat is moderated; messages from silenced accounts don't appear to other players.
World room by language
The World tab has a room for each language the game is served in: Português, English and Español. You start in the Português room by default. To switch, click the World tab itself and pick a language — your choice is saved for the next time you open chat. Trade stays a single room, shared by every language.
Quoting pokémon and items
The + button next to the text box opens your list of pokémon (team and Box) and backpack items. Pick one and it goes into the message as a card: anyone hovering over it sees the full details.
A pokémon card shows level, rarity, shiny, types and its stats: the six attributes, the nature, the IV quality and the total. Whoever reads it can decide right away if the trade is worth it, without having to ask. An item card shows what the item does, including TMs and seals, with their rarity and sockets.
You can quote up to 6 things per message. Anything beyond that shows up as plain text.
Click a trainer's name
Clicking the name of whoever spoke opens a quick menu:
- View profile: opens the trainer's profile.
- Send private message: opens the 1 on 1 chat, even without a friendship.
- Add friend: sends the friend request right away.
- Propose trade: opens the Trades screen with that trainer's name already filled in.
- Block: hides that trainer's messages.
Blocking a trainer
Blocking covers every chat at once: World, Trade and private messages. You stop seeing what that person writes, and they stop receiving what you write. No warning on the other side: a blocked trainer is never told.
You can block in two places, and the effect is the same:
- by clicking the name of whoever spoke in chat;
- from a friend's profile, with the Block button (that one also ends the friendship and deletes your conversation).
Your block list lives in Friends → Requests, under BLOCKED. That is where you unblock someone. The limit is 200 blocked trainers.
