Pokecoins are a vital currency for players to interact with each other, buy items, trade with players and so on. You'll be able to keep track of how many Pokecoins you currently have by doing `/bal` within the server.

Balance by using /bal within the Server

### **💲**What can I use Pokecoins for?**💲** Pokecoins can be used for a range of things on the server. Some of these include: * `/shop` \~ Using this command on the server will bring up a sub-menu in which you can purchase a range of pokeballs, items, blocks and more on the server ranging in prices. * `/gts` \~ Using this command will bring up a marketplace where players will sell items and pokemon with a set price for them * `/tms` - You can use Pokecoins to purchase TMs for your pokemon within your party based on their move pool. * More to be added.... ### **💲**How can I earn Pokecoins?**💲** There are a few ways you can earn money on the server, but for now here are the main ways to obtain Pokecoins: #### PokeMart > Pokemart is the main way players are currently obtaining money on the server while it's within a Beta state and many methods are yet to be implemented for players to earn Pokecoins on the server. Depending on the item listed on the server, it'll have a sell price for it as well in which you can obtain the item via methods on the server and sell it back for a profit. Farms are one of the main ways players are doing this as you can even set them up to be automatic with obtaining the item which you can then sell in bulk. The harder to obtain the item, the higher likely you can earn more from selling it on the Pokemart. #### GTS > The GTS is another method players are earning money on the server. Since not everything can be sold into the Pokemart and the fact there is no way to sell Pokemon this is the main way players are finding a way around that. Players can sell items and pokemon to players for an amount they wish in which other players can buy it from them. Certain pokemon and items will be more in demand than others so if you're trying to find the best things to sell keep an eye out for what players are asking for, and what specific stuff are selling for lots. Shinies and Legendaries especially will gain you a decent amount of Pokecoins if you manage to obtain one. #### Pokedex Rewards > Pokedex rewards are another way for players to earn money. For each 10% of the pokedex you complete, the more rewards you will get with each tier bringing a decent amount of Pokecoins for you to claim from 50k for the first tier all the way to 2.5 million if you get 100% completion. You can start checking your pokedex rewards or progress by doing `/pokedexrewards` Hunts > This is another way players are able to earn Pokecoins on the server by finding specific Pokemon requested via each of the hunts via `/hunts`. These are free to start, ranging in difficulty and a new way for players to play on the server while reward players who are already hunting for new Pokemon on the server. **More ways will be added** on the server to earn Pokecoins like: * Daily Log-in Rewards, * Jobs System * Leaderboards * Player Trading * Crates * Gyms Plus many more that are currently in the works!
