FAQ

Plain answers for anyone new to bots, cook groups and proxies.

What's a cook group?

A paid community, usually on Discord, that posts restock alerts from monitors, release info and guides, so you know when and where to buy.

Do I need proxies?

Yes if you run more than one task or account per site. Retailers block lots of requests from one IP address, and monitors need them too.

ISP, residential or datacenter proxies?

ISP proxies are static and fast but look like home connections, which suits checkout. Residential proxies rotate through real home IPs and are billed per GB, which suits account creation and heavily protected sites. Datacenter proxies are cheapest and fastest but easiest to block, so they're best for monitors.

Are bots legal in the UK?

For retail products there's no law against them, but most retailers ban them in their terms and can cancel orders or close accounts. For tickets it's different: using software to get past an event's purchase limit is a criminal offence in the UK.

When does Pokémon Center take payment?

7–10 days before general release, not when you order. The PKC info page counts down to each charge window.

How do the referral links work?

If you sign up through a link here, I get a commission. You pay the same price as going direct.
