About this Mod
🛡️ CobbeGuard - Smarter Wild Pokémon & Combat AI for Cobblemon
CobbeGuard is an open-source, server-side mod for Cobblemon, designed to add reactive behavior and advanced combat AI to Pokémon in your world. Inspired by FOF and built from scratch, it's made for immersion, challenge, and automation—no client mod required.
⚙️ Core Features:
Follower Battle AI:
If caught, your Pokémon will automatically attack any entity you attack, using appropriate moves based on type advantage.
Wild Behavior:
Wild Pokémon will fight back if their stats are higher than the attacker's, or run away if they're weaker.
Aggressive Wild Encounters:
Certain Pokémon will automatically attack players nearby. Those Pokémon are based on their stats.
Smart Move Usage:
Pokémon will choose moves based on type effectiveness. For example, a Fire-type will prefer Fire moves against Grass-types before using neutral moves.
Two Types of Attacks:
Ranged: Used if the target is far; range increases with Pokémon size.
Melee: Used when close enough.
🔥 Type-Based Effects:
Each move type applies a unique effect:
Type Effect
Fire Sets target on fire; damage and duration scale with level
Ice Freezes and slows target; moderate damage
Poison Applies poison effect and small damage
Fighting / Steel Applies weakness and damage
Ground / Rock Direct damage
Electric Electrifies target; causes damage in water and adds extra zap effect
Water Applies “Bubbling” – removes air for a few seconds; deals damage
Bug Applies “Cobweb” – restricts movement and does damage
Grass Heals the attacker slightly on hit; deals damage

Server lagging with CobbleGuard – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if CobbleGuard consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
