Revamped Cobblemon Outbreaks Caps Data Pack FAQ

Outbreaks spawn randomly across different biomes as swarms of the same species. Travel through varied terrain and look for clusters of Pokémon in one area, or use a mod utility that displays outbreak locations if available in your setup. Once you spot one, approach and engage the creatures to begin the outbreak encounter.

Yes, outbreaks match natural Cobblemon biomes and spawn heights, so you'll find different species depending on where you travel. For example, mountain biomes will have different outbreak swarms than forests or oceans. This encourages exploration across your world.

Yes, this mod replaces high-stage evolution outbreaks with their base or baby forms, so you can encounter and catch creatures like Magby, Pichu, and other early-stage Pokémon during swarms. This lets you train them from the beginning instead of catching fully evolved forms.

Silver bottlecaps are reward items dropped when you clear an outbreak swarm, and the amount you receive is tied to the EV yield of that species. Defeat or catch all creatures in the swarm to claim your bottlecap rewards.

Each Pokémon species has different EV yields, and outbreaks reward silver bottlecaps based on those values. Species with higher EV yields will drop more bottlecaps when their outbreak is cleared, incentivizing you to target specific swarms for better rewards.

By default, the mod doubles base shiny rates during outbreaks, but you can adjust this setting in your configuration if you want higher, lower, or custom shiny chances. Check your data pack settings to customize this to your preference.

No, flying birds are kept off bedrock layers to prevent them from spawning in unreachable areas. Outbreak spawn heights are matched to natural biome ranges, so flying species will spawn at appropriate elevations.

Outbreaks are temporary events that despawn once cleared, but new outbreaks will spawn elsewhere in your world over time. You cannot repeatedly farm the same swarm location, encouraging you to explore and find new outbreaks.

Yes, outbreak creatures spawn at level ranges that match normal wild spawn levels in base Cobblemon for their biome, so progression stays balanced and consistent with regular encounters.

This mod expands the base Cobblemon outbreak system, so compatibility depends on whether other mods or packs modify the same mechanics. Check for conflicts with other outbreak or spawning modifications, and load this data pack after base Cobblemon to ensure proper function.
