This is what awaits you in Minecraft Pixelmon
The Minecraft mod “Pixelmon” has been around since 2012, but was discontinued in 2017. After that, however, the mods “Pixelmon Generations” and “Pixelmon Reforged” appeared, which once again brought the small (and large) creatures back into the Minecraft world.
Pokémons in Minecraft
Here, the Pokémon live freely in the Minecraft world, can be captured, raised, and trained. With Pixelmon you also get a selection of new items such as Poké Balls and TMs, decorative blocks such as clocks and chairs, and new resources such as Apricorns and Bauxitherz. Thus, these combine the features of the Pokémon game with that of the Minecraft world and its block structure.
Functions and game mechanics in Pixelmon
The Pixelmon mod tries to integrate most of the features from Pokémon into the game. One example is that they adapted the mechanics of the battles so that they correspond to the 8th generation Pokémon games. However, there are also deviations, such as the breeding behavior of the Pokémon, which need a suitable environment in Minecraft to grow up.
Unlike what you are used to in the Poké world, you won’t meet the unique creatures randomly in caves or in tall grass, but they will appear naturally in the Overworld. As a player, you’ll be able to engage the Pokémons in combat.
