SmartBox
by Justin34170
SmartBox is a client-side Fabric mod that adds team PC tools to Cobblemon, covering saved teams, held items and movesets.
What it does
Players can save several Pokémon teams and switch between them quickly. Each saved team keeps its own held items and movesets, so the same Pokémon can run different loadouts in different teams. Choosing a team outside the PC only queues the request; nothing changes until a valid Cobblemon PC is opened, and then the saved team is loaded automatically through a dedicated loading screen that shows real progress and the final result.
The mod searches registered shulker boxes for the held items a team requires, retrieves them, stores items removed from the team and consolidates duplicates. Its item management is built to avoid overwriting, deleting or duplicating items, and shulkers are restored safely after use. If a team cannot be completed because inventory space or items are missing, SmartBox leaves the team unchanged instead of partly applying it. Automatic held-item management can be disabled.
Key features
Saved teams
Several Pokémon teams can be stored, with composition, held items and movesets kept for each one.
Held item retrieval
Required held items are searched for in registered shulker boxes and moved onto the team's Pokémon.
Per-team movesets
Movesets are stored per saved team, so one Pokémon can carry different movesets in different teams.
Extra PC tools
Additional tools in the Cobblemon PC interface speed up moving Pokémon between party and PC.

Use cases
Switching loadouts
A player with a battle team and a catching team can keep both saved and load the right one at the PC.
Reusing held items
Items removed from a team are stored again, so held items return to shulkers instead of being lost.
Who it’s for: Players who run Cobblemon on Fabric for 1.21.1 and manage many Pokémon teams, held items or movesets through the PC.
