Do I need Cobblemon installed to use Laser's Fakemon Pack?
Yes. This data pack expands Cobblemon, so the new creatures, regional forms and custom items only work in a game that already runs Cobblemon. Treat it as an add-on to your Cobblemon setup, not a standalone mod.
Where do the new fakemon spawn?
They spawn naturally in different biomes, so explore a wide range of environments to find them all. Regional forms in particular show up in the biomes they adapted to, so a creature you can't find in one area may be waiting in a completely different biome.
How do I catch and train the new creatures?
Use the same methods you already use for regular Cobblemon monsters. You can find them, battle them and catch them, then train them alongside the rest of your team.
What's the difference between a regional form and a convergent evolution in this pack?
A regional form is a different version of a familiar monster that adapted to a particular biome. A convergent evolution only looks similar to a classic favorite and is actually a completely different species. The pack also adds fully original creatures that aren't based on existing monsters at all.
Do I need Cobblemon Mega Showdown?
You need it if you want every battle feature and every form the pack offers, because the pack relies on Mega Showdown to unlock them. Without it you can still find and catch creatures, but some battle features and forms won't be available.
Why is a form I saw in the screenshots missing from my game?
First check that Cobblemon Mega Showdown is installed, because some forms and battle features depend on it. If it is installed, you're probably in the wrong biome, since many creatures and regional forms only spawn in specific environments.
How do I get the custom items in survival mode?
Craft them at a regular crafting table, just as you would craft vanilla items. You don't need any special workstation to make the pack's items.
Why don't the custom items show up in my creative inventory?
The custom items appear in the creative menu only when the Filament mod is installed. Add Filament if you build in creative mode and want to pick the items straight from the inventory. Otherwise, craft them as you would in survival.
Can I add this pack to an existing Cobblemon world?
Yes. Cobblemon spawns creatures around you as you explore, so the new fakemon will start appearing in their biomes without a fresh world. Visit a variety of biomes to see the full roster.
What kinds of creatures does the pack actually add?
The roster mixes many themes and biomes. Examples include copper golem-style creatures, a massive Warden-themed monster in the deep dark, stone Moai-like creatures, umbrella creatures in bamboo forests and a butterfly creature in warped forests. Searching different biomes, including caves, the deep dark and the Nether, is the best way to find them all.
