Level Cap and Trainers
Cobblemon Realms introduces a structured progression system based on Trainer Cards, Key Trainers, and Trainer Series. This system encourages exploration, tactical planning, and steady advancement through increasingly difficult challenges.
📊 Level Cap System
Each player has their own personal level cap, starting at level 50 (unless your first Key Trainer is of a higher level).
⚙️ Effects of the Level Cap
🛑 Pokémon at or above your level cap cannot gain experience.
🚫 Trainers will refuse to battle you if any Pokémon in your party exceeds your current cap.
🎯 The difficulty of nearby trainers scales to your team, but never surpasses your level cap.
🧭 Increasing Your Cap
To raise your level cap, you must defeat Key Trainers in a defined order. Check your Trainer Card and Advancements tab to follow your progress and upcoming milestones.
🔍 Key Trainers & Tracking
Key Trainers are essential to your progression — defeating them unlocks level cap increases and access to higher-tier content.
🌍 Spawn Locations: Found in specific biomes shown on your Trainer Card.
🧭 Tracking System:
The card glows when a Key Trainer is active.
A holographic arrow points to the trainer's location.
If the trainer is in another dimension, the arrow spins randomly.
🔄 Order Matters: Key Trainers must be defeated in the correct sequence.
🎯 Spawn Boost: Having a Pokémon at your cap increases Key Trainer spawn rate.
🧠 Persistence: Trainers you've already beaten are less likely to respawn.
🏆 Unlocking Gym Leaders
Gym Leaders and higher challenges are unlocked by progressing through Key Trainer victories.
🥇 Defeat a required number of Key Trainers from a series to unlock its Gym Leader.
🧩 Some advanced challenges (League, Team Bosses) require multiple completions or defeating entire chains.
📈 Use the Trainer Card and Advancements tab to monitor your path.
Progress is non-linear — discover, battle, and unlock in the order that suits your journey!
🤝 Trainer Association
The Trainer Association is a special villager NPC that appears to guide players into their first challenge series.
🧭 It will spawn near a player who:
Has a Trainer Card (either in hand or inventory), and
Has no current trainer series in progress.
🗺️ When nearby, your Trainer Card will:
Glow, and
Display a guiding arrow pointing toward the Trainer Association.
This NPC offers access to a wide range of trainer series, each with its own theme, progression tree, and difficulty level. It’s your gateway to structured challenges in Cobblemon Realms.
