Cobblemon Exclusive ​

• Player Gyms (NEW): Want to run your own gym? Use /gymapply to apply for a Gym Trial, and you'll be given a team built around your favourite type.
• Clan Gym Rework (NEW): Clan Gyms have been rebuilt and are now won through bracket tournaments:
  • When a new set of Clan Gyms opens, you get 30 minutes to register with /clan gyms, then the brackets begin. Win your bracket to claim the Clan Gym for your clan.
  • Battles are Gen 9 National Dex Doubles with team preview.
  • Your registered Pokémon are locked once you sign up: you can still change moves and team order before you Ready, but swapping a Pokémon disqualifies you.
  • Each player has a 150-second time bank in battle, and running out forfeits the match. Stay online when your match is called; offline players get 30 seconds to return.
  • New commands: /clan gym bracket to watch the bracket, /clan gym history for past results and /clan gym forfeit to withdraw.
• Gym Rules: Gyms now use the Complex Gyms format (Gen 9 National Dex OU), adding the Item, Species, OHKO, Evasion, Endless Battle and Terastal Clauses to the Sleep and Bag Clauses.
• Ice Gym: Ice Gym Tier 1 now requires the Grass Badge.
• Battle Tiers: Battle tier lists were updated, and newer Megas like Mega Dragonite, Mega Greninja and Mega Starmie are now recognised.
• Ranked Tags (NEW): Ranked season milestones now give the Gold Challenger, Platinum Duelist, Diamond Gladiator and Master Victorious tags.
• World Boss Tags: The Frantic, Frenzied, Chaotic, Dangerous and Cataclysmic tags can be earned again.
• Contracts: Re-rolling an Easy contract now costs 2,000 coins (was 30), and the fishing defeat task now asks for 25 (was 10).
• Spawns: Female Meowstic and Indeedee now spawn, and Pokewiki form spawns were fixed.
• Rankup: The first rank now gives 20 Poké Balls (was 16), and the 32 Ultra Balls reward now pays out.
• Flash Hunts: Flash Hunts now reward an Event Key and a Random Shiny Plushy, and a new Flash Hunt starts a few minutes after the last one ends.
