Cobblemon Genesis Forms Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get started with battle gimmicks?
You need the appropriate held item or accessory for each gimmick: a Key Stone and Mega Accessory for Mega Evolution, a Tera Orb for Terastallization, a Z Ring for Z-Power, or a Dynamax Band for Dynamax. Admins can distribute these using /genesis give commands, or they may be found in the world depending on server configuration.
Do I need to install anything on my client to use this mod?
No, this mod is server-side only, so you don't need to install it on your client. You can join servers running Cobblemon Genesis Forms with just the base Cobblemon mod installed.
Why isn't my Pokémon Mega Evolving in battle?
Check that you have both a Key Stone and the correct Mega Accessory equipped, and that your Pokémon has a Mega Stone available. For Rayquaza, it must also know the move Dragon Ascent to Mega Evolve.
Can I change my Pokémon's type mid-battle?
Yes, use Terastallization with a Tera Orb during battle to change your Pokémon's type to match a Tera Shard you've equipped. This works for standard Pokémon and special species like Terapagos and Ogerpon.
What's the difference between Dynamax and Gigantamax?
Dynamax is the base size-increase transformation available to any Pokémon with a Dynamax Band, while Gigantamax is a special form change that only certain Pokémon can undergo. You can apply or remove the Gigantamax factor on your team using mod commands.
How do I use Z-Power moves?
Equip a Z Ring or Z Power Ring as a held item and give your Pokémon the corresponding Z-Crystal for its move type. During battle, you can then unleash a Z-Power move, with Ultra Burst available if you have Ultranecrozium-Z.
Can I fuse Pokémon together?
Yes, the mod supports all standard Pokémon fusions and includes custom fusion data. The exact method for initiating fusions depends on your server's configuration.
What form-change items does this mod add?
The mod includes key items like Gracidea Flower, Reveal Glass, Prison Bottle, and Adamant Crystal, plus held items such as Arceus Plates, Rusted Sword, Rusted Shield, and Memory Discs. Some form changes like Hangry Mode and Sword Stance trigger automatically during battle.
How do I reset my battle gimmick data if something goes wrong?
An admin can use the command /genesis resetData to clear your progression data for all battle gimmicks.
Does this mod affect server performance?
The mod is designed to run server-side, which minimizes client impact. Performance depends on your server's hardware and how many players are using battle gimmicks simultaneously; admins can reload configuration with /genesis reload if needed.
