Welcome to Cobblemon!
Cobblemon is a Minecraft mod that brings the Pokémon experience into your Minecraft world. Unlike previous Pokémon mods, Cobblemon puts Pokémon directly into the overworld. They spawn naturally in biomes, and you interact with them where you find them.
Getting Started
Choosing Your Starter
When you first join a Cobblemon server, you'll be able to choose a starter Pokémon. The classic trio is available:
🌿 Bulbasaur: Great for beginners, Grass/Poison type
🔥 Charmander: Fan favorite, Fire type
💧 Squirtle: Solid defense, Water type
Your First Catch
Find a wild Pokémon: They spawn naturally in the overworld based on biome
Throw a Poké Ball: Right-click while holding one
Weaken it first: Battle it to lower its HP for better catch rates
Use the right ball: Great Balls and Ultra Balls have higher catch rates
Understanding Types
Cobblemon features the full 18-type system from the Pokémon games. Key matchups to remember:
Water beats Fire
Fire beats Grass
Grass beats Water
Ground beats Electric
Psychic beats Fighting

Biome-Based Spawning
Pokémon spawn based on Minecraft biomes:
Plains: Normal types, Eevee, Miltank
