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.
Tell the bot where you play
Section titled “Tell the bot where you play”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, liked1000for 1 km. - Areas.
/area listshows the areas you can choose from, and/area add <name>subscribes you to one. Commands without addistance use your areas.
/area show d1000 draws a map with your 1 km circle, so you can check it’s right.

|---|---|
/track everything iv100 | Every 100% IV Pokémon |
/track dratini iv90 d2000 | Dratini with 90% IV or more, within 2 km |

/untrack dratini | Stops tracking a Pokémon |
/raid remove level5 | Removes a raid alert (works the same for /egg, /quest…) |
/stop and /start | Pause and resume all your alerts |
/help | Help from the bot itself |
Profiles
Section titled “Profiles”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 weekend09:00Commands 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
t600to a/trackcommand to only get Pokémon with at least 10 minutes (600 seconds) left.
