The rare and very powerful Pokémon the games call Legendary — 71 of them up to Generation IX. Cobblemon marks the same species, so expect long searches and hard battles.

The rarest group of all, handed out through special events in the games. In Cobblemon there are no time-limited events: the label only marks the official species, and they simply spawn like any other very rare Pokémon.

The classic first partners: the Grass, Fire and Water lines a Professor offers at the start of each generation, plus Pikachu or Eevee in some games. Cobblemon offers you a starter once, when you join a world — which Pokémon you can pick comes from the server’s starter config.

Pokémon you normally obtain by reviving a fossil. The label covers the whole family: the fossil brings back the first stage and you evolve it from there — Aerodactyl is the exception, since it does not evolve.

The youngest stage of certain families, such as Pichu, Cleffa or Togepi. Baby Pokémon cannot breed themselves: evolve them first, then breed the evolved form to hatch another baby.

Extradimensional Pokémon that arrive from Ultra Space through Ultra Wormholes — 11 species. In Cobblemon the label marks the ones a Beast Ball catches far more easily; related Pokémon the Beast Ball does not favour are not included.

The mysterious Pokémon of Area Zero: ancient relatives such as Great Tusk, or futuristic ones such as Iron Leaves. In Cobblemon the label marks the species that draw their power from Booster Energy — Protosynthesis or Quark Drive.

Often called pseudo-legendaries: the final stage of a three-stage line with a base stat total of exactly 600, as strong as many Legendary Pokémon. They are the slowest to train — 1,250,000 experience points to reach level 100.

The Pokémon competitive play usually bans or limits, cover legendaries above all. In Cobblemon this is only a classification: whether they are allowed depends on your server’s rules or on the format you play.

Kanto never had official regional variants, so this label holds the original forms of species that gained one later — Kantonian Meowth next to Galarian Meowth, or the classic Articuno next to its Galarian form.

Johto has no official regional variants either, so this label holds the original forms of species that gained one later — Johtonian Corsola and Qwilfish, or Cyndaquil before its Hisuian form.

The original Hoenn forms of species that gained a regional variant later: Zigzagoon and Linoone, before their Galarian versions.

The base form of the one Sinnoh species that later gained a regional variant: Mime Jr., the pre-evolution of Mr. Mime (the Galarian Mr. Mime is Ice/Psychic).

The original Unova forms of species that gained a regional variant later — Unovan Darumaka, Basculin or Braviary, all of which have Hisuian counterparts.

The original Kalos forms of species that gained a regional variant later: Goomy, Sliggoo, Goodra, Bergmite and Avalugg, all of which have Hisuian forms.

Alola’s regional variants: familiar species with a new look, type or even evolution — Ice-type Alolan Vulpix, Dragon-type Alolan Exeggutor, Dark-type Alolan Meowth.

Galar’s regional variants: same species, new look and often a new type — Steel-type Galarian Meowth, Poison/Fairy Galarian Weezing, Ice-type Galarian Darumaka.

Hisui’s regional variants, the forms of the ancient Sinnoh region: Fire/Rock Hisuian Growlithe, Grass/Fighting Hisuian Decidueye, Psychic/Flying Hisuian Braviary.

Paldea’s regional variants: the three Tauros breeds (Combat, Blaze and Aqua) and Wooper, whose Paldean form is Poison/Ground instead of Water/Ground.

A temporary battle transformation that pushes an already fully evolved Pokémon beyond its limits, changing its form, types and base stats for the rest of the fight. In the games it requires a Mega Stone.

The ancient transformations of Kyogre and Groudon, which return to their Primal forms for the duration of a battle thanks to the Blue Orb and the Red Orb.

Gigantamax: a special kind of Dynamax that changes a Pokémon’s appearance as well as its size, and unlocks a G-Max Move unique to that species.

National Pokédex entries #1–151 — the Kanto generation. A form is filed under the generation that introduced it, so an Alolan form of a Kanto species is listed with Generation VII and a Mega Evolution with Generation VI.

National Pokédex entries #152–251 — the Johto generation. A form is filed under the generation that introduced it, so an Alolan form of a Kanto species is listed with Generation VII and a Mega Evolution with Generation VI.

National Pokédex entries #252–386 — the Hoenn generation. A form is filed under the generation that introduced it, so an Alolan form of a Kanto species is listed with Generation VII and a Mega Evolution with Generation VI.

National Pokédex entries #387–493 — the Sinnoh generation. A form is filed under the generation that introduced it, so an Alolan form of a Kanto species is listed with Generation VII and a Mega Evolution with Generation VI.

Meltan and Melmetal: Generation VII Pokémon that are not from Alola. They appeared first in Pokémon GO and then in Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee!, which is why Cobblemon files them separately.

National Pokédex entries #810–905 — the Galar generation. A form is filed under the generation that introduced it, so an Alolan form of a Kanto species is listed with Generation VII and a Mega Evolution with Generation VI.

The Gen VIII species that belong to Hisui rather than Galar: the new Pokémon and the Hisuian forms introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

National Pokédex entries #906–1008 — the Paldea generation. A form is filed under the generation that introduced it, so an Alolan form of a Kanto species is listed with Generation VII and a Mega Evolution with Generation VI.

Official Pokémon whose data was changed by a data pack. Cobblemon itself uses this for species that can spawn with a regional bias — an Alolan-leaning Pikachu, for instance — so what you meet on a server may differ from the official version.
