Cobblemon Fight or Flight Reborn
by Vaniron
With Cobblemon Fight or Flight Reborn installed, a wild Pokémon that is attacked or fails to be caught will either fight back or run away, depending on its stats and nature.
What it does
Whether a Pokémon flees or fights depends on its offensive stats compared with its defensive stats, its level and its nature. Some Pokémon are set to attack players who come close without waiting to be struck, a behaviour that is disabled by default and can be changed in the config. Pokémon of different types apply different effects when they hit the player, and a Pokémon with higher Sp.ATK than ATK uses ranged attacks, where explosive moves can blast the area and HP-draining moves heal the attacker.
The player's own Pokémon use the first move in their move set to decide type and damage, and the Poke Staff lets the player pick another move, even forcing a special attacker into melee. Mobs killed by the player's Pokémon drop items and experience as if a tamed wolf had struck the blow. Pokémon also gain experience and EVs from kills made without starting a battle, provided they land the final hit, and this can be turned off in the config. Installation needs Architectury API and Cobblemon. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge in the 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 range, is released under the MIT License, and is open source.
Key features
Fleeing or fighting
Wild Pokémon react to attacks or failed catches by either counterattacking or retreating, based on their stats and nature.
Typed attack effects
Each Pokémon type triggers its own effect on the player when struck, with ranged attacks for those whose Sp.ATK exceeds their ATK.
Staff move selection
The Poke Staff selects which move a Pokémon uses in combat, including forcing a special attacker into melee.
Experience without battles
Pokémon gain experience and EVs from kills made outside a battle, and the Oran Lucky Egg adds bonus experience to them.
Taunting wild Pokémon
Pokémon using taunt, follow me, rage powder or torment as their first move can draw aggression from attacking wild Pokémon.
