What is the best starter Cobblemon?

There's no single best starter — it depends on the server. Many servers let you choose from classic Grass/Fire/Water starters. Pick the type that complements your planned team. Fire starters are great for early survival since they can light furnaces.

How do I evolve my Cobblemon?

Most Cobblemon evolve by reaching a specific level through battle XP. Some require evolution stones (Fire Stone, Water Stone, etc.) which you can mine or find in temples. Trade evolutions use a Link Cable instead — craft one with redstone and copper.

Where do rare Cobblemon spawn?

Rare spawns depend on biome, time of day, and weather. Dragon-types appear in badlands and End dimension. Fairy-types favor flower forests. Ghost-types spawn at night in dark areas. Check the Cobblemon biome guide for specifics.

How do I get better Poké Balls?

Upgrade from Poké Balls (red apricorn) to Great Balls (blue apricorn) to Ultra Balls (black + yellow apricorn). Special balls like Dusk Balls (3.5× at night) and Timer Balls (improves over time) require specific apricorn combinations.

Can I play Cobblemon survival with friends?

Absolutely! Join a public Cobblemon survival server together — browse our server list, pick one, and share the IP address. You can trade Cobblemon, battle each other, and explore as a team.

How do I find apricorns and tumblestones?

Apricorns grow on special trees found in most biomes — look for colorful fruit on trees. Tumblestones are mined from stone and deepslate ore veins underground. Both are essential for Poké Ball crafting.

Beginner Guide

Cobblemon Survival Guide

Everything you need to know to start your Cobblemon journey. From crafting your first Poké Ball to building a championship team — this guide covers it all.

Essential Survival Tips

Start with Apricorns

Apricorn trees are your lifeline. Harvest them immediately — you need apricorns to craft Poké Balls. Look for red, blue, yellow, green, black, pink, and white apricorns in forests and plains.

Craft Poké Balls Early

Combine apricorns with tumblestones (mined from stone) on an anvil. Start with regular Poké Balls, then upgrade to Great Balls and Ultra Balls as you find rarer apricorn colors.

Keep Your Cobblemon Healed

Craft potions using Oran Berries and glass bottles. Set up a berry farm near your base to maintain a steady supply of healing items for your team.

Build a Balanced Team

Don't catch only one type! Aim for a team of 6 with diverse types — a Water, Fire, Grass, Electric, Ground, and Flying type covers most matchups effectively.

Explore Different Biomes

Each biome spawns different Cobblemon. Rare species like Dragon-types appear in badlands, Fairy-types in flower forests, and Ice-types in snowy mountains. Travel far to complete your Pokédex.

Weaken Before Catching

Lower a wild Cobblemon's HP before throwing a Poké Ball. Status effects like sleep and paralysis drastically increase catch rates. Use moves like Thunder Wave and Spore strategically.

Level Up Through Battles

Battle wild Cobblemon to gain XP. Focus on fighting types your Pokémon are strong against for easier victories. Use a Lucky Egg (rare drop from Chansey) to boost XP gain by 50%.

Set Up a Base Camp

Build a home base with chests for items, a berry farm, an apricorn grove, and a healing station. Having a well-stocked base makes long exploration trips much more manageable.
