Major game Update: Soulforge & Alchemy
Trainers, a veil has lifted over Avalar—the ancient
Soulforge hums to life, calling for offerings and courage. In its shadow, Pokémon can be sundered into
pure essence: the faint glow of a soul from the ordinary, a rarer, brighter spark from the shiny. Gather enough of these echoes and a forgotten art unlocks:
Mystical Alchemy.
Follow Aria’s questline to the sealed
Essence Clan Rooms, deposit 10 Essences, and the Soulforge will open to you. From there, the path to Alchemy begins—an arcane craft that transfigures soul-energy and rare reagents into
permanent boons: heightened shiny and mega spawns, richer experience, and a sharper catch rate.
This is a major game update introducing two new systems and a new quest that together awaken the alchemist within every trainer.
- New questline: Aria (NPC) → unlock Essence Rooms → deposit 10 Essences → access Soulforge → unlock Alchemy.,
- Soulforge: sacrifice Pokémon to extract Soul Essences (normal = Soul Essence, shiny = Shiny Soul Essence).,
- Alchemy: craft permanent potions that boost shiny spawn, mega spawn, XP gain, and catch rate.,
- Crit crafting: potions can roll Rare → Epic → Legendary → Mythic, each rank increases the potion’s % beyond the base (e.g., 1% → higher with rank).,
- Gear change: Fishing Rod slot is now a Potion slot (works like the speed aura, but bonuses are permanent).,
Start Here: The Aria Quest
Meet Aria to begin the new questline.Complete her missions to gain access to the Essence Rooms—you’ll need level 100 to start.The entrance is hidden among Ghost-type Pokémon near Lavender.
Soulforge: Power from Souls
At the Soulforge, offer Pokémon to obtain their essences:
- Normal Pokémon → Soul Essence,
- Shiny Pokémon → Shiny Soul Essence,
These essences are the key catalysts for Alchemy.
Alchemy: Forgotten, Powerful, PermanentAlchemy is unlocked after finishing the entire quest.It’s a demanding art that consumes Soul Essences + other items to craft potions with permanent effects:
- Shiny spawn chance,
- Mega spawn chance,
- Experience gain,

Crit Ranks
Every crafted potion can crit into a higher rarity rank:
Rare → Epic → Legendary → Mythic
Higher rank = stronger % than the base (e.g., base 1% gets boosted by rank)
