CobbleGuard - Advanced Pokémon AI for Cobblemon
CobbleGuard is a server-side open-source modification that fundamentally enhances Pokémon behavior in Cobblemon. This mod implements a more realistic combat interaction system and reactive behavior without requiring client-side installations.
Core Features
Follower Combat AI When your Pokémon is caught, it automatically attacks targets you're engaged with, selecting the most effective attacks based on type advantages.
Intelligent Wild Behavior Wild Pokémon behave logically: if their stats are superior to the attacker, they fight back, while weaker ones attempt to escape danger.
Aggressive World Encounters Certain Pokémon with high stats can actively attack nearby players, making world exploration more intense and engaging.
Smart Ability Usage Pokémon don't choose attacks randomly but based on effectiveness against specific opponents. For example, Fire-types prefer Fire attacks against Grass-types rather than using neutral abilities.
