Warzone¶
The Warzone is a free-for-all PvP arena set in Nuketown. Players fight by throwing Poke Balls at each other to force battles, the loser hands over a Pokemon, and racking up kills earns powerful killstreak gadgets. There is no dying here: lose a duel and you are simply ejected, not killed.
How to access¶
Open the Warzone menu with /warzone. Enter and leave through the menu's button, not a separate command.
Before you can enter you must not be in a battle, you need at least one Pokemon able to fight, and you cannot have Pokemon still pending return from a previous loss. When you enter you spawn at a random spawn point with 10 seconds of immunity to get your bearings.
Ball duels¶
Combat runs on ball duels:
- Throw an empty Poke Ball that hits another player or their Pokemon to force a 1v1 Singles battle. The ball is refunded.
- Throwing at a player who still has entry immunity does nothing, and throwing while you are immune ends your own immunity early.
- The loser forfeits a Pokemon. The winner scores a kill and gets a 30-second window to pick one Pokemon from the loser's party to keep. Any Pokemon the winner does not pick is returned to the loser, and if the winner does not pick in time, everything returns and nothing is taken.
- A loss also counts if you flee, disconnect, or teleport out of the arena during a duel. Teleport commands are blocked mid-duel, so there is no easy way out. A draw penalizes no one and resets both players' streaks.
The reward here is Pokemon, not money or points. There are no level caps and your inventory is not confiscated on entry.
Killstreaks¶
String kills together without losing to unlock gadgets. Your streak resets on any loss, draw, or when you leave.
| Kills | Reward | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Player Radar | Right-click to make every player glow through walls for 1 minute (only you see it) |
| 5 | Poke Mine | Throw to plant a hidden trap; a player who looks at it is forced into a wild battle scaled to your strongest Pokemon, and losing sends a random Pokemon from their party to your PC |
| 11 | Helicopter | Right-click for 3 minutes of flight (the timer pauses during battles) |
| 25 | Poke Nuke | Right-click to instantly defeat every other player in the Warzone and send their parties to your PC, announced server-wide |
Killstreak gadgets cannot be dropped or kept. They are taken back when you leave, lose, disconnect, or log in outside the arena.
No death, no respawn¶
Damage to your character is cancelled while you are in a duel, so you cannot die mid-fight. Losing a duel ejects you back to city spawn, and stepping out of bounds returns you to the nearest spawn point. Wild Pokemon inside the Warzone, including mine traps, cannot be caught. A scoreboard tracks all-time kills, the highest streak ever, and the current top streak among players inside.
