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.

  • Check your recent payments with /bal history. It keeps 30 days.

How to price items​

Prices are set by players, so it can be hard to know what something is worth at first.
  1. Join our Discord server.
  2. Go to #role-claiming and pick your server role. This unlocks the GTS channels.
  3. Use Discord search (Ctrl + F) to look up the item or Pokemon and see what it sold for before.

Borrowing and lending​

⚠️ Watch out: Some players borrow or lend valuable items or Pokemon for money. This is allowed, but it is fully at your own risk. Only borrow from or lend to players you know and trust.
