Wild Boost Mechanics
Some mods extend the Cobblemon experience by introducing mechanics that reward players for their interactions with wild Pokémon — specifically KOs and captures. These mechanics track player activity and dynamically influence future spawns.
🧮 How Tracking Works
Every player has two sets of stats tracked separately:
KO Count & Streak: Number of times a player has knocked out a specific Pokémon species, and how many times in a row they've done so.
Capture Count & Streak: Number of captures per species, and how many times in a row a species was caught.
For each action:
If you KO or catch a Pokémon of the same species as your last one, your streak continues and the count increases.
If you switch species, the streak resets to 1 and starts again for the new one.
KO and capture stats are tracked independently, allowing precise tracking of both activities.
These values are stored in your player data and can influence future wild Pokémon encounters.
🔥 Effects on Wild Spawns
Your accumulated data directly affects the characteristics of wild Pokémon that spawn around you (typically within a 64-block radius). These effects include hidden abilities, shiny rates, and guaranteed perfect IVs.
🎯 Hidden Ability Chance
The chance for a wild Pokémon to spawn with its hidden ability increases if:
You were the last player to KO that species.
Or you’ve KO’d at least 99 Pokémon of that species.
➡️ Default example: a 20% chance (1 in 5) to spawn with a hidden ability if either condition is met.
✨ Shiny Rate Boost
Shiny Pokémon spawn rates are enhanced based on your KO streaks:
None / <100
1 / 8196
100+
2 / 8196
300+
3 / 8196
500+
4 / 8196
➡️ Maintaining long KO streaks on a species gives you better odds for shiny encounters.
🧬 Guaranteed Perfect IVs
The number of perfect IVs a wild Pokémon spawns with depends on your capture streak:
5+
1
10+
2
20+
3
30+
4
➡️ The more you capture the same Pokémon in a row, the better the IV quality of future spawns.
🧠 How Points Are Calculated
Behind the scenes, actions like KOs, captures, and streaks earn you points that are used to evaluate spawn effects:
KO streaks and capture streaks award the most impactful points.
Each booster module (Hidden Ability, Shiny, IVs) uses a separate scoring system based on these actions.
The more consistent you are with a particular species, the more likely you’ll influence its future spawns.
✅ Summary
Keep knocking out or catching the same species to build streaks.
These streaks directly improve your chances of seeing rare, powerful, or shiny Pokémon.
Effects only apply to wild Pokémon spawning near you.
All data is tied to your individual player profile.
Take advantage of these mechanics to farm specific traits or hunt rare Pokémon more effectively!
