Cobblemon: Limited Legends
Full control over how often any Pokémon (not only Legendaries) can be captured and more!
About this Mod
Introduction
Do you miss your legendary Pokémon feeling truly 🌟 unique 🌟?
Limited Legends brings back the rarity by letting you set hard limits on how many times each Pokémon can be captured or whether they need to be fought first — ensuring that catching one feels truly special.
Any feature is configurable. For example, you could also use this mod only for its spawn notifications!
Features
🛑 Per Pokémon Limits: Prevent the capturing of legendary and mythic Pokémon (or any others) once their onfigurable capture limit has been reached.
🚧 Per Player Limits: Limit the amount of Legendaries a single player can have over all or per species!
🥊 Fight Before Capturing: Prevent players from capturing certain Pokémon until they’ve first been weakened in battle!
⬆️ Catch rate penalties: Makes catching higher level Pokémon more difficult - or impossible!
📄 Customizable Config: Enable/Disable any feature and limit any Pokémon you want! (Default: Legendaries + Mythics)
🚫 Optional Spawn Blocking: Not being able to capture them isn't enough for you? Block them from spawning alltogether!
📣 Optional Spawn Messages: Send an announcement to all players whenever a unique Pokémon spawns!
🔍 Tracking: Check which limited Pokémon a certain player has or find all players who own a certain limited Pokémon with the "/limitedlegends check" or "limitedlegends find" commands.
