Massively More Starters [Cobblemon]
by shadowboxed
Massively More Starters lets players pick from far more Pokémon than the default Cobblemon starter screen offers, and the starter choice can be set per save.
What it does
Cobblemon's starter selection is expanded into a long pick list drawn from many Pokémon, including spinoffs such as the Mystery Dungeon and fangame lineups. The region ordering on the selection screen is jumbled, so picks from different regions appear together. Some Pokémon still use a substitute model, and the author suggests pairing the mod with AllTheMons and AllTheMons x Mega Showdown for those.
Starters can be given neutral natures and three perfect IVs, and the mod offers specific gender settings, for example a female Combee that evolves toward a Vespiquen or a male Ralts. A few common and uncommon Pokémon come with minimal egg moves, and some options are meant to stay useful past the early game. The mod requires Cobblemon, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.1, with the latest file dated 2026-03-23.
Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
