Cobblemon Random Battles
by RatataMakata
Cobblemon Random Battles adds randomized Pokémon battles to a Cobblemon server, taken from the Pokémon Showdown Random Battles format.
What it does
When a battle starts, each participant is temporarily given a full team of six Pokémon generated from Pokémon Showdown data. The original party is set aside during the fight and restored once the battle ends, including when a player flees, wins, loses or disconnects partway through.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it requires Cobblemon. Builds cover game versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, though the project is not open source. The latest Fabric file, 1.1.1-alpha, targets 1.21.11 and sits on the alpha channel.
Key features
Random teams
Each battle gives both sides six randomly generated Pokémon, so no player enters with a prepared party.
Built-in matchmaking queue
A GUI random battle menu places players into a server-wide queue and pairs them with another player looking for a fight.
Proximity checks
To send, accept or start a direct challenge, both players have to stand within 20 blocks of one another, a rule that blocks cross-map sniping.
Safe party restoration
Original Pokémon are kept safe, and the team is restored even when a battle ends abruptly.
Compatibility

Use cases
Casual PvP on a server
Players who want a quick fight without training a team can join the matchmaking queue and be paired with someone else.
Challenges between friends
Two players who agree to a match can start a random battle through a direct challenge, provided they stand within 20 blocks.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Cobblemon who want a ready-made random battle mode with matchmaking and friend challenges, without configuring the battles by hand.
