The Wild
Leaving spawn, how wild Pokémon are picked, dimensions, homes and claims
Spawn is a separate lobby server. The Wild Portal or /wild drops you at a random unclaimed spot in the survival world; /wild nether and /wild end do the same for those dimensions once you hold the badge that unlocks them (see Gyms). /spawn brings you back; /home brings you to a home you have set.
How wild spawns are chosen
PokéSurvival does not use a per-species biome table. Each spawn tick:
- A random column within about 100 blocks of a player is picked.
- Its biome is read and rolled against a weighted table to pick a territory (Terralith and other custom biomes are covered; anything unlisted uses the global pool).
- A weighted roll inside that territory picks the species, using the shared gen 1–5 spawn sheet.
- Rows gated above your trainer level, or whose minimum level exceeds your obedience cap, are skipped — so what you meet scales with your badges.
Ways to steer it:
- Honey — draws Pokémon from Honey’s pools; buy it from Honey’s shop after her tutorial.
- Amulets — while worn, one in five rolls near you pulls from the amulet’s type.
- Safari Zone — a catch-only reserve at spawn whose pools rotate every quarter; see Safari Zone.
No wild Pokémon spawn inside the gym areas at spawn.
Rare spawns are announced in the Discord #survival-rare-spawns feed.
Dimensions
| Dimension | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Overworld | none |

Portals at spawn route you straight into the corresponding wild dimension.
Homes, groups and claims
/home set <name>,/home <name>,/home list,/home delete <name>— personal homes./group— create a group, invite members, claim chunks, set group homes and warps, manage roles and flags./backreturns to your last location (Legendary rank).
TODO: claim limits, group flag list, how claims interact with the season reset.
