Minecraft Cobblemon servers

Install the Cobblemon mod or the server modpack on Minecraft Java Edition, launch the modded profile, then open Multiplayer, click Add Server and enter the server IP. For TalonMC the address is play.talonmc.net.

The TalonMC server IP is play.talonmc.net. The same address works for the wider TalonMC network including Prison, Skyblock, SMP and Dungeons.

You need the Cobblemon mod at minimum, and the server modpack is strongly recommended because it guarantees matching versions and includes custom content. Version mismatches are the number one cause of failed joins.

Yes. Cobblemon is a free, open source mod. You need a paid copy of Minecraft Java Edition to play it, but the mod itself costs nothing.

No. Cobblemon is a Java Edition mod, so Bedrock, console and mobile clients cannot join Cobblemon worlds. Some networks like TalonMC support Bedrock crossplay on their other gamemodes at the same address.

Not for the Cobblemon gamemode itself, because it requires a modded Java client on PC. Bedrock players on phones and consoles can join the non-Cobblemon gamemodes of crossplay networks.

Most Cobblemon servers run Minecraft 1.21.1 on Cobblemon 1.7. Always match the version the server lists, because a mismatch will refuse the connection.

Cobblemon supports both Fabric and NeoForge. Fabric is the more common choice on servers, and modpacks handle the loader for you automatically.

The usual causes are a Cobblemon version that does not match the server, a missing Fabric API, or mixing Fabric and NeoForge files in one profile. Installing the server official modpack fresh resolves nearly all of these.

Allocate at least 4GB to your client for a smooth experience, and 6GB or more if you run a large modpack or high render distance. Launchers like Modrinth and CurseForge let you set this per instance.

Cobblemon is a free, open source Pokemon mod for Minecraft Java Edition. It adds catching, battling, breeding, evolution and shiny hunting with hundreds of species, using a turn-based battle system built on the Pokemon Showdown engine.

Throw a Poke Ball at a wild Pokemon, ideally after weakening it in battle or inflicting a status condition. Catch odds depend on the species catch rate, its remaining HP, any status effect, and which ball you use.

Grow apricorns on apricorn trees, harvest them, then combine four apricorns of one color with a copper ingot at a crafting table. Different apricorn colors and metals produce the different ball types.

The Master Ball catches anything with a guaranteed success rate but is extremely rare. Practically, the Quick Ball (5x on the first turn), Dusk Ball (3.5x in darkness) and Timer Ball (scales up to 4x over a long battle) are the strongest common options.

Most evolve by reaching a level threshold. Others need evolution stones you can mine as ore, friendship, a held item, a specific time of day, a Link Cable to simulate trading, or a particular move learned.

Shinies spawn randomly at roughly 1 in 8,192 by default, though many servers adjust the rate or sell shiny boost items. There is no in-battle method to force a shiny, so shiny hunting is a matter of encounter volume.

Place two compatible Pokemon in a pasture block to produce eggs. Destiny Knot passes down more IVs, an Everstone preserves the holder nature, and Ditto is compatible with almost every breedable species.

IVs are fixed per-Pokemon stat values from 0 to 31 that are set at spawn, and EVs are trainable stat points you gain by defeating specific Pokemon. Both work the same way as in the mainline Pokemon games.

Craft and use a Healing Machine, which recharges over time, or use potions and medicine items. Many servers also place free healing machines at spawn and in hub areas.

In base Cobblemon legendaries spawn very rarely in specific biomes and conditions. Servers usually override this: TalonMC for example runs Legendary Monuments where legendary encounters appear at contested world locations, plus legendary mission chains.

Brush suspicious sand and gravel at fossil dig sites to collect fossil items, then place them in a Resurrection Machine built from a Fossil Analyzer and a Restoration Tank to revive ancient Pokemon like Aerodactyl and Kabuto.

Cobblemon implements over 1,000 species covering the full national dex range, with new species and forms added in each major release. Individual servers may restrict or add to that list.
