Introduction

Arceus is our alerting bot. Once you have alerts set up for the Pokémon you want to know about, in the areas you want to know about, you could mute all scan channels knowing that you will receive a notification should anything worthwhile spawn.

There are two types of alert:

1. Distance based alerts. See the Location Alerts page, but in summary users can set up locations and then create alerts within distances of that location.
2. Channel based alerts. All our spawns are posted to area channels (see Roles), and you can set up alerts for the whole channel, or areas within the channel.

Based on which discord server you have joined, you may find that not all options are available to you:

• London - Only distance based alerts are possible here. Due to the sheer number of users in an area, adding channel wide alerts just isn’t possible without breaking Arceus :(
• Sussex / HomeCounties - Because the userbase is spread out over a much wider area, channel alerting does not break Arceus and is therefore enabled.

Warning

The bot uses the posts in the scan channels, so please check the filter channel to see what is sent to discord. There is no point setting up an alerts for all Swablu for example, when only 100% IV are posted to discord.
