Note

Membership is given to players who have purchased it through the Playerdex whether it's via their own account or another player who is selling a membership card in the PlayerDex mart. The money from memberships is used to help pay for the current servers and could potentially go on to fund future servers for the game.

A list of membership bundles from the token store.

  • To see EXP benefits from membership, see this page

  • Your chances of finding the rarer, different-colored Shiny Pokemon increase by 300%
  • A 1 token discount from all items over 5 tokens in the token store once membership is active
  • Additional features in the PlayerDex Mart.

Please note that at least 6,000 tokens are required to purchase membership, and that you won't gain tokens for membership. For tokens, you need to do a regular donation.
