Cobblemon Economy Guide
Coins, Gems, the PokeMart, the Auction House and the GTS on Complex Cobblemon and Pixelmon
Short answer: The Cobblemon economy on Complex is player-driven, so players set the price of most items and Pokemon. Coins are the main currency, and you buy and sell through the PokeMart (
/shop), the Auction House (
/ah) and the Global Trade Station (
/gts). Gems are the premium currency, and Dungeon Coins and Omega+ Credits have their own uses. It works the same on Complex Cobblemon (cobblemon.mc-complex.com) and Complex Pixelmon (pixel.mc-complex.com), with Battle Points only on Pixelmon.
