Be warned that if you trade here, you do so at your own risk. There are people whom will try to scam you out of your Pokémon. Do not do 2 for 1 trades and always be careful with what you trade
Only a few Pokémon can have Hidden abilities. These are listed here and their evolutions.

We have also set up a Discord Server for the same purpose as this chat

As the latest update for Java caused a couple of issues with the chat applet, we have replaced it with a new Flash based one. If you wish to use the old version, Click Here

If the above applete does not load or you are fed up with it then Click Here To Download a program called mIRC. Its virus checked so you dont have to worry. You still have to obey the below rules. It can be accessed via the command /server irc.synirc.net -j #spp-wifi Alternate chat<

#SPP-Wifi - The Wifi Chatroom Rules

The following listed ban times are standard, but chat room ops may change the length of your ban to whatever length they feel is necessary.
"Untimed Ban" refers to a ban that does not have a set expiry time. Untimed Bans expire when the ban list is cleared, which happens every couple of days.

If you are warned and choose to ignore your warning, you will be banned instead.
If you break a rule that you've just seen somebody else also get warned for, you may be banned instead of warned.

Repeated offences may result in you being permanently banned from the chat room.

No Cheating Device Discussion
5 minute ban -- Serebii has stated in the past that "They're not in the nature of the game, they only cheapen it." As such, do not mention hacking tools/devices (or their abbreviations), and do not offer/request hacked Pokémon. This includes Action Replay, Pokésav, and Game Shark.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Glitch Pokémon
5 minute ban -- Do not trade Pokémon with attributes/movesets that can only be attained by glitches or hacks. This includes Ditto rage glitch Pokémon.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Wonder Guard Discussion
5 minute ban -- Do not mention "Wonder Guard". (This usually pertains to people hacking to get a Spiritomb with Wonder Guard.)
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Spiky-Eared Pichu
5 minute ban -- Legitimate Spiky-Eared Pichu cannot be traded, so don't ask for it or offer it.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Unreleased Pokémon
5 minute ban -- Don't request/offer Pokémon that come from games that haven't been released yet. Don't request/offer Pokémon that come from events that haven't happened yet. Be patient.
See the spoiler below for 6th-gen pokémon that are not allowed as of October, 2013.
    Spoiler:- List:
No Fan-Made Event Pokémon
5 minute ban -- Do not offer/request Pokémon from fan-made events. Fan-made events almost always distribute custom-made or hacked Pokémon, which are not allowed to be traded in #SPP-Wifi.
    Spoiler:- Example:
Must Specify Shiny Events
5 minute ban -- If you mention a Shiny Event, you must specify where it is coming from. There are only certain Shiny Events that we allow to be mentioned, as only some shiny events are legitimate. Check the SPOILER below for a list of allowed shiny events.
    Spoiler:- List:
Must Specify Shinies & Events
5 minute ban -- You must specify what shiny or event Pokémon you are looking for. Don't just say "lf shinys" or "lf events".
    Spoiler:- Example:
Must Specify Your Offerings
5 minute ban -- Be sure to specify what you are offering. Don't just say things like "offering big/huge".
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Scamming
Untimed ban -- This is a no-brainer. If you are caught scamming, you will be banned.
You are also not permitted to talk about well-known scams in the channel.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Disconnecting
5+ minute ban -- If you are caught intentionally disconnecting during a battle (or violating any other rule that you both agreed to), you will be banned. Play fair.
No Free Giveaways
5 minute ban -- Do not offer/request free Pokémon or free items. Most of the time these are scams, and they are not allowed.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Battling For Prizes
5 minute ban -- Do not offer or request a battle that has a prize attached. Like "free pokémon" offerings, these are usually scams.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Uneven Trades
5 minute ban -- Do not offer/request multiple Pokémon in exchange for only one Pokémon. These are also usually scams, and they are not allowed.
    Spoiler:- Example:
Stay On Topic
Warning, then 5 minute ban -- Keep the chat to Pokémon wifi requests only. If you have a general question or request that does not pertain to trades or battles, ask in #SPP.
    Spoiler:- Example:
Pokémon-Related Requests Only
5 minute ban -- Do not ask for things that are not Pokémon-related. Do not ask for wifi battles/matches/etc that are not Pokémon-related (i.e. no brawl battles).
    Spoiler:- Example:

For clarification: You are allowed to request Pokémon Mystery Dungeon rescues.
Only Trade Pokémon For Other Pokémon
5+ minute ban -- Do not ask to trade a Pokémon for something completely unrelated. You may not offer to buy or sell Pokémon either. These are usually scams.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No ROM Discussion
5 minute ban -- The SPP chat rooms do not condone illegal activity. Do not discuss any ROMs (Pokémon games or otherwise). This rule also includes emulators, M3 cards, and R4 cards.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Illegal Download Discussion
5 minute ban -- Besides roms/emulators, you may also not ask for downloads of any copyrighted material. (This includes Pokémon episodes, episodes of any other anime or show, mp3 downloads, etc). You may also not ask for help downloading these things.
Even if filesharing laws are lax where you live, they aren't for most people, and the SPP chat rooms do not condone copyright infringement.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Inappropriate Topics
10+ minute ban -- Keep the channel clean. Anything that is inappropriate will be banned. This includes (but is not limited to) adult topics and racist/sexist/homophobic/etc commentary.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Swearing
5 minute ban -- Keep offensive language to a minimum. Swear words show up as "<censored>" to everybody else in the channel. Ops can easily detect this and will ban you for excess swearing, so don't do it.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Video Or Voice Chat Requests
5+ minute ban -- As a safety precaution, do not request voice chats or video chats.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Advertising
5 minute ban -- This rule includes websites, other IRC channels, and YouTube subscriptions.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Clan Discussion
5 minute ban -- Do not ask people to join your clan. Do not recruit or talk about recruiting. This includes advertising your clan through mass private messaging. Mentioning the word "clan" will result in a ban.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Tournament Discussion
5 minute ban -- Do not ask to host or join a tournament. Do not ask for other people to create a tournament. These topics pertain to clans, and mentioning them will result in a ban. This rule includes advertising your tournament through mass private messaging.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No "Looking for «nick»"
Warning, then 5 minute ban -- Do not try to find someone in the chatroom over and over by saying "looking for the guy I just traded with", etc.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Flaming
5 minute ban -- Do not complain about other users in the chat room under any circumstances. If somebody is breaking a rule, report them.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Complaining About Scams/Disconnects
5 minute ban -- Do not complain in the main channel that someone scammed you, or that they disconnected during your battle. If you have proof that someone has scammed you or disconnected when you both agreed not to, report them with proof to an active op.
We cannot get your Pokémon back for you, so always trade/battle at your own discretion. See this topic for tips on how to avoid scams.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No PM Harassment
10+ minute ban -- Do not harass others via private message. If someone is harassing you, report them.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Flooding
5+ minute ban -- Do not write too many lines of text in a row too quickly. This is spam, and causes the channel to scroll faster than other people can keep up.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Repeating
5 minute ban -- Don't send the same message repeatedly within a short time frame. Changing a couple words/characters to try and evade spam filters will still get you banned.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Character Spamming
5 minute ban -- Don't write out long lines of the same letter/character. This is annoying and disruptive. This includes space-spamming.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Excess Caps
5 minute ban -- DO NOT WRITE OUT LINES LIKE THIS.
    Spoiler:- Example:
Keep Text Formatting To A Minimum
5 minute ban -- Use bold, underline, reverse, and italics (that goes for you mIRC 7.1+ users) sparingly. If too much of your text in one line is formatted, it is an auto-ban.
    Spoiler:- Example:
Don't use /me
5 minute ban -- Do not use the /me command. There is no need to format your offers/requests this way, and any other use of it is roleplaying/offtopic anyway.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Spamming in General
5+ minute ban -- If you Spam with anything above in excess, you will be removed. (Spamming also includes excessive smiley faces and gibberish)
    Spoiler:- Example:
English Only Please
5 minute ban -- The language of the chatroom is English. Using any other language may result in a ban. If you want to talk to someone in another language, do so in a private message.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Access Begging
Warning, then 5 minute ban -- You will not be opped/voiced if you ask for it. Just don't ask. (Op/Voice is having ~ & @ % + next to your name)
    Spoiler:- Example:
Don't Ask Ops How They Became Ops
Warning, then 5 minute ban -- This is particularly annoying. Ops are added when the other ops think that they should be added. There is no way to "become an op" of your own doing, it is a granted access that you cannot ask for, and probably will not get if you make it apparent you're trying to get it. Let your curiosity rest on this one, and stop asking.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Arguing With Ops About Bans/Rules
5+ minute ban -- It's okay to PM an op to ask about your ban, but being hostile about it will only get you banned even longer. The rules of #SPP-Wifi are decided upon by all the ops and are not up for debate, so arguing with an op will not get them changed.
If you feel you have been banned unfairly, you may post about it in this thread, but make sure to follow that thread's instructions or else your post may be ignored.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Ban Evasion
Untimed ban -- If you were banned, and return under a different IP or vhost, you will automatically be banned and reported to network services. Bans usually last 5-10 minutes, so just wait them out. Longer (untimed) bans are removed every time an op clears the ban list, which usually happens every couple of days. Ban evasion will not only get you in further trouble with the chat room, but will also get you in trouble with network staff, and you may be permanently banned from all chat rooms for a very long time.
No Script Evasion
5+ minute ban -- Some of the ops have tools known as scripts which can sometimes detect when somebody is breaking a rule. If you try to break a rule by changing your text to evade a script, you will be banned.
    Spoiler:- Example:
Tricking people into triggering scripts is not allowed
Untimed ban -- If you try to get someone in trouble by making them trigger a script by accident, they won't get in trouble, but you will.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Cloning
5+ minute ban -- Do not join on a duplicate connection with another name. (We will make an exception if you are trying to set up mIRC or another chat client.)
No Inappropriate Nicknames
5+ minute ban -- Do not change your nickname to something that mentions a banned topic of discussion.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Impersonation
5+ minute ban -- Do not change your nickname to one that is intentionally similar to another person in the chatroom. This includes regular users, ops, and network staff.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No Mini-Opping
5 minute ban -- Do not act like you are an Op in the chatroom. If you notice somebody else breaking a rule in the chatroom who is not being dealt with, tell an op privately.
    Spoiler:- Example:
No False Reports
5+ minute ban -- If you try to get someone in trouble by making fake logs or other fake evidence, you will be banned.
