Cobblemon: Fight First
Fight Pokémon before you can try to catch them!
About this Mod
📖 Introduction
Do you think it should be a little bit more challenging to catch new Pokémon?
Fight First makes it so that you have to fight Pokémon until their HP is low enough before you can catch them!
✨ Features
🥊 Fight First: Wild Pokémon' HP must be below a threshold specified in the config before it can be caught - or even battled!
📄 Customizable Config: Set both the HP thresholds as well as an optional bonus catch rate yourself! You can even change the messages the mod sends!
✅ Server-side Only: No need for clients to install anything!
⚙️ Installation

Drop the FightFirst.jar into your /mods-folder.
