Cobblemon Chimeric Shinies
by Joshiki
Chimeric Shinies is a Fabric addon for Cobblemon that gives some Pokémon mixed shiny states, with each body made of several individuals.
What it does
The mod adds chimeric shiny variants, multi-component Pokémon whose body parts do not all share one shiny state. In vanilla Cobblemon a Pokémon is either fully shiny or not, but here only certain body components can carry the shiny mutation, so one creature can show a blend of shiny and plain parts. Examples in the current release include a Magneton built from three Magnemite with only one shiny orb, a Dugtrio of three Diglett sharing a body, an Exeggcute colony of six separate eggs, a Slowbro whose tail comes from a plain Shellder, and a Metang made from a shiny and a plain Beldum.
Early builds cover species whose bodies are naturally made of two or three individuals, and more species are planned for later updates. Installation requires Cobblemon, and the mod is published only for Fabric on 1.21.1, with the latest file, 2.1.2, dated 2026-05-14. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Optional companions named in the catalog include Cobblemon Poke Fusion, Cobblemon Special Fossils, Cobblemon Thufizer, Complete Galar Fossilmon, Pride Tandemaus and SpaceworldMons [Cobblemon]. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Mixed shiny components
A shiny Pokémon can roll chimeric traits that decide which body components carry the shiny mutation.
Configurable spawn chance
The chance that a shiny Pokémon spawns as a chimera can be changed in the config file, which is generated on first launch.
Evolution handling
The shiny configuration persists through evolution and is visually resolved in later forms, so it is not re-rolled later.
Chimera forms and crafting
Recipes read the shininess of their inputs and output a chimera that matches the aspect each combination produces, so specific results can be aimed for.
