Buffs

(Character bonuses)

Buffs are temporary bonuses on your character: more XP, more drops, a better catch chance or more shiny Pokémon. You get them from Boosters and some game systems.

Command: !buffs

7 bonus types

Remove: right-click the icon

Food: !food

Checking your buffs

  • Type !buffs in chat: it lists your active bonuses, such as Experience, Shiny Charm, Lucky or Catch.

  • While any bonus is active, a tray on screen shows one icon per bonus with its time left; hover over an icon to see what it does. You can drag the tray anywhere: it stays where you put it and hides itself once your bonuses run out.

  • Food works separately: !food tells you which food effects are active and how long each one has left.

Buff types

Experience

More XP for every Pokémon you defeat.

Loot

Higher drop chance on any Pokémon.

Catch

Higher chance to catch Pokémon.

Shiny Charm

Shiny Catch

Higher chance to catch shiny Pokémon.

Sweet Aroma

Pokelog Boost

Every Pokémon you defeat counts twice in your Pokélog.

Hover over the Experience, Loot, Catch, Shiny Charm or Shiny Catch icon to see how much it adds; Sweet Aroma and Pokelog Boost show no percentage.

Removing a buff

  1. Right-click the bonus icon in the tray.

  2. Pick that bonus’s “Delete … Bonus” option; for example, “Delete Experience Bonus”.

  3. «Confirm Remove» opens with the question «Are you sure you want to remove <bonus> bonus?». Press «Yes»: the bonus is deleted and disappears from the tray. «No» leaves it as it is.

These are the Boosters and other items that give buffs, grouped by the bonus their description names. Under each one you’ll see how much it adds and how long it lasts; hover over it to see its in-game description and where to get it.
