Cobblemon guide for All the Mons 0.7.0-beta to 0.12.0-beta

Same as in the All the Mons 1.0.0-rc.2 guide

Cobblemon is an open-source Pokémon mod, and it's the heart of this pack. You catch Pokémon, battle wild ones for experience, level them up to unlock moves, and evolve them. The mod's stated goal is to be the Pokémon mod for everyone and to fit into modpacks and Minecraft itself better than other Pokémon mods. It lists over 800 Pokémon to catch.^[1]

This pack ships Cobblemon 1.7.3 for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. It has been part of the pack since 0.3.0-beta or earlier. The mod's authors say it is still in development, so some features are work-in-progress or placeholders.^[1][2]

What you can do with it

• Battle with the Pokémon Showdown! engine, and keep building, mining or fighting mobs during battles thanks to the free-movement toggle.^[1]
• Log what you see and catch in a Pokédex, which can scan wild Pokémon.^[1]
• Ride your Pokémon, and take on Alpha Pokémon that can be caught or defeated for rewards.^[1]
• Let Pokémon roam free in pastures, and trade and battle with friends in multiplayer.^[1]
• Find, grow and cross-breed berries, and make medicine by putting crops and berries into a brewing stand.^[1]
• Explore ancient structures, and dig up fossils from suspicious gravel or sand to revive them.^[1]

Where it fits in the pack

The pack's quest book places Cobblemon in the Getting Started chapter. The quests for the Medicinal Leek, the Revival Herb and the Big Root each come after the AllTheMons quest. The "Remedy" quest quest for the Remedy follows the Big Root quest.^[3]

The Evolution chapter then covers how to evolve your team. It includes evolution stones such as the Moon Stone and Fire Stone, and held items for trade evolutions. If you play solo, the Link Cable simulates a trade so those Pokémon can still evolve, as covered in "Evolving through Trading" quest.^[4]

Same as in the All the Mons 1.0.0-rc.2 guide

Welcome to Cobblemon in this pack! The pack's quest book gives you a clear early path: pick a starter, catch something, then build up healing, storage and friendship. Here is the order I would follow.^[3][5]

Your first steps

1. Choose a starter Pokémon, then use a Poké Ball to catch your first wild one. Both are early Cobblemon advancements, and the PC quest unlocks after the quest for catching a Pokémon.^[3][5]
2. Find a Big Root and smelt it into a Remedy. Big Roots spawn on cave ceilings above deepslate, like glow berries. You can feed a Remedy to a Pokémon in or out of battle to restore health, and you can craft with it to make stronger versions. See "Remedy" quest.^[3]
3. Find a Revival Herb in a lush cave, or farm it on farmland. Smelt it into Healing Powder, then craft that into a Revive, which brings a fainted Pokémon back with half its health. Using the raw herb on a fainted Pokémon works too, but you lose Friendship. See "Revive" quest.^[3]
4. Grab a Medicinal Leek from fresh water: rivers, ponds and swamps, anything but salt water. Fill bottles with water in a Brewing Stand and brew the leeks into them to make Medicinal Brew, the base for stat boosters, effect cures and other consumables. See "Medicinal Brew" quest.^[3]
5. Get a PC for storing Pokémon. It has 30 boxes that each fit 30 Pokémon, and you drag Pokémon between your team and the boxes. See "PC" quest.^[3]
6. Add a Pasture Block, which works hand in hand with the PC. It lets up to 16 Pokémon wander around the area, and they will attack hostile mobs or mobs you hit. A Pokémon that faints returns to the PC. See "Pasture Block" quest.^[3]

Better Poké Balls

Once the basics are running, special balls are worth making. The Friend Ball, Luxury Ball and Heal Ball all help a Pokémon after it is caught. The Friend Ball starts your Pokémon at 150 Friend Points, Pokémon in a Luxury Ball gain Friendship twice as fast, and the Heal Ball heals the Pokémon once after the catch. See "Balls that help Pokemon" quest.^[6]

In this pack these balls are made in an assembler. Here are two examples.^[7]

The six ancient balls, such as the Ancient Feather Ball and the Ancient Gigaton Ball, are thrown differently from other balls. The Feather, Wing and Jet balls fly farther than a normal Poké Ball, while the Heavy, Leaden and Gigaton balls do not go as far. In this pack they can be made in an assembler or in a pressure chamber, and the quest book covers them in "Balls that are thrown differently" quest.^[6][7]

Cobblemon is mostly about catching, battling and raising Pokémon, so its "machines" are a handful of special blocks and crafting stations rather than a tech tree. Here is how the ones the pack's sources describe actually work.^[1]

Healing Machine

The Healing Machine has to be charged after you place it. Once it has had long enough to charge, you use it to heal your party. The in-game advancement for it tells you to wait for the charge, so give it time after you set it down.^[8]

Fossils and the Resurrection Machine

You find fossils by excavating suspicious gravel or sand at certain locations. You then revive them in a resurrection machine.^[1]

The Galar fossil advancement asks you to resurrect a Fossil Pokémon made from a Fossilized Bird or Fish and a Fossilized Drake or Dino.^[8]

Suspicious sand and gravel also give you Tumblestones. To grow one, place it near lava or magma and give it time.^[8]

Brewing medicine

Healing items come from a regular brewing stand. You put crops and berries into it, and brewed potions heal more than the basic versions.^[1]

The brewing tree starts with a Medicinal Leek, which gives you Medicinal Brew. Brew an Oran Berry into Medicinal Brew and you get a Potion. Keep following the tree and you can make a Full Restore from a Lum Berry and a Max Potion.^[8]

Campfire Pot and Poké Snacks

A Campfire Pot goes on top of a lit Campfire. You prepare custom Poké Bait in it and then use that bait to reel in a Pokémon. You can also bake a Poké Snack, a cake that attracts certain Pokémon depending on the berries you used.^[8]

Pastures

Craft a Pasture Block and your Pokémon can roam free around it, wherever you decide to put it down.^[1][8]

Farming: berries and Apricorns

• Berries grow wild on the surface, can be grown on farmland, can be mulched for bonuses and can be cross-bred to mutate new berries.^[1]
• To see mutation happen, plant Berry Trees of different types next to each other.^[8]
• Apricorns are harvested by right-clicking a fully grown one. Bone meal speeds up their growth, and they occasionally drop a seed you can use to plant a new tree.^[8]

Crafting notes for this pack

Nature Mints come in 6 colors and are wild crops that grow high in the mountains. In this pack mint leaves such as Cyan Mint Leaf and Red Mint Leaf also feed crafting recipes, like the one for Adamant Mint below.^[8][9]

Same as in the All the Mons 1.0.0-rc.2 guide

Progression for Cobblemon in this pack is driven by the quest book, so you can think of it as a few tiers: heal and store your team, get better Poké Balls, evolve your team, then chase the late-game goals. The chapters are Getting Started, Tips and Poke Tricks, Evolution, Gotta Find Em' All, the Pika Star chapter (marked WIP) and a Master Ball chapter.^{[3][4][6][10][11][12]}

Tier 1: Healing and storage

Getting Started begins with healing items you grow or find yourself. Big Root spawns on cave ceilings above deepslate, and smelting one gives you a Remedy ("Remedy" quest). A Remedy can be fed to a Pokémon in or out of battle to restore health.^[3]

Revival Herb grows in Lush Caves and can be farmed. Smelting it gives Healing Powder, which clears effects from a Pokémon but costs friendship. Crafting that powder gives you a Revive ("Revive" quest), which brings a fainted Pokémon back with half its health. The quest also mentions a more powerful Revive made from 3 of them.^[3]

Medicinal Leek grows in non-salt water. Brew it in a Brewing Stand with water bottles to get Medicinal Brew ("Medicinal Brew" quest), which is used for stat boosts and effect removal, among other things.^[3]

For storage, the PC ("PC" quest) has 30 boxes that each fit 30 Pokémon. The Pasture Block ("Pasture Block" quest) lets up to 16 Pokémon wander around it. If one faints, it returns to the PC.^[3]

Tier 2: Better Poké Balls

The Tips and Poke Tricks chapter sorts the special balls into groups. The Friend Ball starts a Pokémon at 150 friend points. The Luxury Ball makes friendship grow twice as fast. The Heal Ball heals the Pokémon once, right after the catch.^[6]

A large group, from the Safari Ball to the Beast Ball, gives a better catch chance under certain conditions. The quest lists wild Pokémon stats, time in battle, location and time of day as examples. The 6 ancient balls are thrown differently: Feather, Wing and Jet fly farther than a normal ball, while Heavy, Leaden and Gigaton fall short.^[6]

In this pack many of these balls have machine recipes. The recipe dump shows an Oritech assembler route and a PneumaticCraft pressure chamber route for them. Here is the Friend Ball in both.^[7]

Friend BallMod recipe

• Blank Ball Lid

• Iron Ball Mechanism
• Empty

Pressure Chamber (pneumaticcraft)

• Blank Ball Lid
• Friend Ball Lid
• Iron Ball Mechanism
• any iron rod

Recipe id: allthemons:pnc/chamber/friend_ball

This is the pressure chamber route for the Friend Ball.

Tier 3: Evolution

The Evolution chapter covers the items that evolve your team. The Link Cable simulates a trade when used on a Pokémon ("Evolving through Trading" quest). Some trade evolutions also need a held item such as Metal Coat or Kings Rock ("Trading with an Item in Hand" quest).^[4]

• Evolution stones each have a quest that follows a "Finding" quest for that stone. Examples: Fire Stone evolves Growlithe into Arcanine, and Thunder Stone evolves Pikachu into Raichu. The Water Stone and Moon Stone have their own quests too.^[4]
• Peat Block evolves Ursaring into Ursaluna during a full moon ("Evolving Ursaring" quest).^[4]
• Charcadet evolves with Auspicious Armor (found in Bastion Remnant chests) or Malicious Armor (found in Nether Fortress chests), giving it two different evolutions.^[4]
• Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro with the Galarica Cuff or Slowking with the Galarica Wreath.^[4]
• Milcery evolves into Alcremie using any of the Sweets, such as Strawberry Sweet or Star Sweet.^[4]

Tier 4: Fossils, upgrades and late-game goals

The Fossil Resurrection quest ("Fossil Ressurection" quest) uses a 3-block multiblock: the Fossil Analyzer, Data Monitor and Restoration Tank. You fill the tank with fuel, put the fossil in the analyzer and let it run. Then use a Poké Ball on the tank to catch the restored Pokémon automatically.^[10]

The PokeRod upgrade template (Smithing Template) comes from a Master Fisherman villager. The quest suggests placing a Barrel as a job site for an unemployed, non-Nitwit villager and trading until all trades unlock.^[10]

The Master Ball ("Master Ball" quest) has its own chapter in the quest book, placed after the quest named "Great Ball of Fire, Allthemodium Vibranium and Unobtainium Balls". It catches any Pokémon regardless of level, type or rarity, and its quest also calls it essential for crafting the ATM Star.^[12]

The Pika Star chapter is still marked WIP. One quest describes a regional Pika Star ritual: send out 6 Pokémon from the same region near the altar and fill Display Case blocks with Mega Stones. Then offer the 4 ancient balls, including the Ancient Origin Ball, and finally the Unbound Pika Star. Another quest asks you to breed Ditto with a Patrickyu holding an Everstone to get a Patrickyu Egg.^[11]

Same as in the All the Mons 1.0.0-rc.2 guide

Cobblemon connects to several other mods in this pack through recipes the pack and its own items add. The biggest link is catching gear: Oritech machines build Poké Balls from parts made with Create Mon Balls Overhaul items. Here's how it all fits together.^[7]

Poké Balls through Oritech and Create Mon Balls Overhaul

Poké Balls have Oritech assembler recipes. Each one uses parts from Create Mon Balls Overhaul: lids such as the Apricorn Wood Ball Lid and ball mechanisms in copper, iron, brass or sturdy versions. There are separate recipes for the regular balls (Poké, Great, Ultra, Premier, Dive, Quick and so on), the Ancient balls, and special balls like the Beast Ball and Cherish Ball.^[7]

Apricorns and the Oritech grinder

Oritech's grinder prepares the ball parts. It turns a Stripped Apricorn Log into an Apricorn Wood Ball Lid, and it also grinds each colour of apricorn into its matching half-apricorn item from Create Mon Balls Overhaul. For example, a Red Apricorn becomes a Half Red Apricorn.^[7]

Pokemon Egg Incubator

The Pokemon Egg Incubator is also made in the Oritech assembler. One of its inputs is a Cobblemon Protein.^[7]

Sawing Cobblemon wood

The pack adds sawing recipes for Cobblemon's wood. In Mekanism's sawing machine, apricorn and saccharine logs give you Apricorn Planks or Saccharine Planks plus Sawdust. Productive Trees' sawmill also handles both log types, taking Sawdust along with the log to make the planks.^[7]

Mekanism processing

Mekanism's injecting process turns a Sweet Apple into a Tart Apple using Liquid Sulfuric Acid.^[7]

Mekanism also processes Cobblemon's tumblestones. Both chemical conversion and oxidizing turn a Black Tumblestone into a dense tumblestone and a Sky Tumblestone into a light tumblestone. Chemical conversion additionally turns a plain Tumblestone into a standard tumblestone.^[7]

Healing on the go

The Healing Station on a Stick is a crafting table recipe that starts from Cobblemon's Healing Machine.^[7]
