Box Management

Box Management

Tarot provides powerful tools for managing Pokemon PC boxes efficiently.

Box Commands

All box commands follow the format:

/box <subcommand> <arguments>

Release Pokemon

Release all Pokemon in a box:

/box release <box_number>

Usage

/box release 1

Releases all Pokemon in box 1.

Confirmation

The command requires confirmation to prevent accidents:

1. Run the release command
2. Confirm within 30 seconds
3. Pokemon are released permanently

Example

> /box release 5
[Tarot] Are you sure you want to release all Pokemon in box 5?
[Tarot] Type /box release 5 confirm within 30 seconds.

> /box release 5 confirm
[Tarot] Released 30 Pokemon from box 5.

Sort Boxes

Organize Pokemon by various criteria:

/box sort <box_number> <criteria>

Sort Criteria

species: Sort alphabetically by species

/box sort 1 species

level: Sort by level (highest first)

/box sort 2 level

shiny: Shiny Pokemon first

/box sort 3 shiny

iv: Sort by IV total (highest first)

/box sort 4 iv

nature: Group by nature

/box sort 5 nature

type: Group by primary type

/box sort 6 type

caught_date: Sort by catch date

/box sort 7 caught_date

custom: Custom sort using MoLang

/box sort 8 custom

Examples

Organize shiny collection:

/box sort 1 shiny

Competitive team building:

/box sort 2 iv

Living Dex organization:

/box sort 3 species

Resize Boxes

Change box capacity:

/box resize <box_number> <new_size>

Valid Sizes

• Minimum: 5
• Maximum: 90 (or server-configured limit)
• Default: 30

Usage

Expand box:

/box resize 1 60

Shrink box (must be empty beyond new size):

/box resize 2 20

Restrictions

• Cannot shrink if Pokemon would be deleted
• Must move Pokemon first if downsizing
• May require permissions

Example

> /box resize 1 45
[Tarot] Resized box 1 to 45 slots.

> /box resize 2 15
[Error] Box 2 has Pokemon in slots beyond 15.
[Error] Move or release them first.

Swap Boxes

Exchange contents of two boxes:

/box swap <box1> <box2>

Usage

/box swap 1 5

Swaps all contents of box 1 and box 5.

Notes

• Boxes must exist
• Preserves all Pokemon data
• Instant operation
• Cannot be undone (use with caution)

Example

> /box swap 2 8
[Tarot] Swapped contents of box 2 and box 8.

GUI Integration

Access box management through GUI:

/tarot boxes

Opens interactive box management interface:

• Visual box overview
• Click to select boxes
• Sort options menu
• Quick actions

Custom Sort Expressions

Use MoLang for custom sorting:

/box sort 1 custom "q.iv_total + (q.is_shiny ? 100 : 0)"

Available Variables

• q.level: Pokemon level
• q.iv_total: Sum of all IVs
• q.is_shiny: Boolean (true/false)
• q.species: Species name
• q.form: Form name
• pokemon.*: Any Pokemon property

Custom Sort Examples

Prioritize shinies, then IVs:

"(q.is_shiny ? 1000 : 0) + q.iv_total"

Sort by level and shiny:

"q.level * 10 + (q.is_shiny ? 100 : 0)"

Competitive value:

"q.iv_total + (q.perfect_ivs * 10) + (q.is_shiny ? 50 : 0)"
