Set up alerts with commands

This page is a quick-start cheat sheet to get you going. For every option, see the official Poracle user guide.

Send the commands in your private chat with the bot. The examples use the Telegram prefix /. On Discord, use ! instead: !track instead of /track.

Alerts need a place. Use one or both of these:

  • Location and distance. Set your location with coordinates, like /location 40.4168,-3.7038, or with an address after /location. Then add a distance in metres to your commands, like d1000 for 1 km.
  • Areas. /area list shows the areas you can choose from, and /area add <name> subscribes you to one. Commands without a d distance use your areas.

/area show d1000 draws a map with your 1 km circle, so you can check it’s right.

CommandWhat you get
/track everything iv100Every 100% IV Pokémon
/track dratini iv90 d2000Dratini with 90% IV or more, within 2 km
/track larvitar iv95 level30Larvitar with 95%+ IV at level 30 or higher
/track dragon iv90Dragon-type Pokémon with 90%+ IV
/track everything size:xxlEvery XXL Pokémon
/track combee femaleFemale Combee (they evolve into Vespiquen)
/track everything great5The top 5 Great League IV combinations

Filters can be combined in one command. Ranges work too: iv90-99 means 90% to 99%.

CommandWhat you get
/raid level5All 5-star raids
/raid mewtwoRaids with a specific boss
/egg level5 d30005-star eggs within 3 km

Level 6 is for Mega raids.

CommandWhat you get
/quest stardustQuests that give Stardust
/quest rare_candyQuests that give Rare Candy (item names in English, with _)
/quest energyQuests that give Mega Energy
CommandWhat you get
/invasion everythingEvery PokéStop invaded by Team GO Rocket
/invasion dragonDragon-type grunts
/lure mossyPokéStops with a Mossy Lure Module
CommandWhat it does
/trackedLists everything you track, plus your location and areas
/untrack dratiniStops tracking a Pokémon
/raid remove level5Removes a raid alert (works the same for /egg, /quest…)
/stop and /startPause and resume all your alerts
/helpHelp from the bot itself

Profiles keep separate setups, for example home and work, and can switch automatically at set times:

/profile add home
/profile home
/profile settime weekday17:00 weekend09:00

Commands like /track, /location and /area change the profile you’ve selected. See the Poracle profiles guide for more.

  • Start strict, then loosen. Begin with high IVs and short distances. It’s easier than muting a flood of alerts.
  • Item names are in English, with underscores instead of spaces: rare_candy.
  • Never enough time to get there? Add t600 to a /track command to only get Pokémon with at least 10 minutes (600 seconds) left.
