Cobblemon Pokerus

Version 1.6-0.0.0

What is it?

This mod introduces the Pokérus virus mechanic to Cobblemon, which can randomly appear in Pokémon after battles. Infected Pokémon receive increased EV (base values) and can transmit the infection to other team members.

Features

Wild Infection

After installing the mod and running the game for the first time, you can configure the infection probability through the configuration file. Change the wildInfectionChanceDenominator parameter to 3 and execute the /reload command for immediate application of changes. After this, battles with wild Pokémon will have a high probability of infecting your Pokémon with the Pokérus virus.

The infection status can be checked in the Pokémon's stats menu on the EV tab. In the current version, you may need to re-enter the world for the infection icon to display correctly in the center of the page.

Accelerated EV Growth

Pokémon with active Pokérus receive twice as many EVs for each battle. For example, defeating a Magikarp using the /pokespawn magikarp command will give you 2 EVs instead of the standard 1.

Team Spread

By setting the chanceToSpread parameter to 1 in the configuration and executing /reload, you ensure a 100% probability of virus transmission from an infected Pokémon to healthy team members during battles.

Recovery

After a maximum of four in-game days of active battling, the Pokémon recovers from the virus. Although it continues to receive increased EVs, the ability to infect other Pokémon is lost.

Gameplay

This mod adds an element of randomness to Pokémon training, making the process of obtaining enhanced EVs more dynamic. Initially, infection depends on luck, but thanks to the virus spread mechanic within the team, players can quickly transfer the advantage to all their Pokémon.

Current Status

The mod is in open beta testing stage. Functionality and balance may change significantly as community feedback is received and the author continues development.
