Cobblemon Alphas
Cobblemon Alphas makes some fully evolved Pokémon in Cobblemon worlds spawn as Alpha variants with three perfect IVs, a larger size and a hostile disposition toward players.
What it does
Each fully evolved Pokémon has a one-in-four chance of becoming an Alpha when it spawns. Alpha Pokémon are aggressive toward players, so encounters with them differ from ordinary wild spawns. They also carry three perfect IVs and are rendered larger than normal, which makes them recognizable at a distance.
The server must run the mod, while players may add it to their clients. Only the server's copy changes which Pokémon spawn as Alphas, so players can join a server that runs it without installing anything. It is released under the MIT License as open source for 1.21.1 on Fabric and NeoForge, with a latest file dated 2025-11-13. It requires Cobblemon, and the project has public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki.
Cobblemon Alphas was first published on 2025-01-11. Its listing is sorted within the Mobs category and also appears under Adventure and Game mechanics, since it changes how wild encounters play out rather than adding new creatures.

How it compares
Cobblemon Alpha Project is the closest alternative: it is also open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.1 on Fabric and NeoForge, and is needed on the server, with the client optional. Cobblemon Environment Interactions is a client and server mod under the Apache License 2.0, not open source, and also covers 1.21.1 on Fabric and NeoForge. CobblemonBahaviours is server-side only under the MIT License, but it is published for Fabric alone.
