Cobblemon Go Catch

Holding a Poké Ball and targeting a wild Pokémon brings up a holographic capture ring. The ring is drawn in front of the Pokémon, is visible through its model and blocks, and always turns to face the player. It shrinks continuously, and the throw is graded by where the crosshair sits at the moment of release. Only wild Pokémon show the ring, and it appears only while a Poké Ball is held.

The grade decides the bonus applied to the catch rate: throws that land inside the visible ring earn Nice, Great or Excellent bonuses, while throws outside it gain nothing. Because aim and timing matter more than chance, the mod makes catching interactive and rewards practice with precision. The ring also adds tension to legendary encounters. The mod keeps Cobblemon's balance by adding depth rather than changing the base catch formula, and the bonuses are configurable through Mod Menu.

The mod requires Cobblemon, and it runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1. It needs to be installed on both client and server, so every player and the server run it. Files were first published on 2026-03-03 and last updated on 2026-09-01, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
