Both Complex Cobblemon and Pixelmon have a player-driven economy. This means that players determine the value of the various items and Pokemon on the server.

The server has three main ways to buy and sell items: the PokeMart (/shop), the Auction House (/ah), and the Global Trade Station (/gts).

• The PokeMart (/shop) is the only shop with fixed buy and sell prices, as it is managed by the server. Here, you will find most standard Minecraft and Pixelmon or Cobblemon items, depending on which server you are playing on. Left-click to buy items and right-click to sell them.
• The Auction House (/ah) is a player-run marketplace where you can bid on items listed by other players or create auctions of your own through the /ah interface.
• The Global Trade Station (/gts) is the primary marketplace for buying and selling Pokemon and valuable items. Listings can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 5 days, depending on the duration selected by the seller.

Since the server's economy is player-driven, figuring out how much an item or Pokemon is worth can be challenging at first.

By joining the Discord server and visiting #role-claiming, you can assign yourself your server's role, which unlocks the GTS channels. From there, use Discord's search feature (Ctrl + F) to look up the item or Pokemon you are interested in and see what it has sold for in the past. This can give you a good idea of the prices the community is willing to pay.

You may also come across players looking to temporarily borrow or lend valuable items or Pokemon in exchange for money. While these arrangements are allowed, they are made entirely at the players' own risk. We strongly recommend only borrowing from or lending to players you know and trust.

There are four types of currency on Pixelmon and two on Cobblemon:

• Coins are available on both Pixelmon and Cobblemon. They are the server's primary currency and are used for the majority of its features. You can spend coins in the shops mentioned above, as well as on features such as PokeBuilder (/pb), Contracts (/contracts), Hunts (/hunts), and much more.
• Gems are available on both Pixelmon and Cobblemon. They are considered a premium currency, making them much rarer and more valuable than Coins. Gems can be converted into Gift Cards and spent on the Donor Store, or used to purchase items and Pokemon through the Global Trade Station (/gts) and Auction House (/ah).
• Battle Points are exclusive to Pixelmon. They are earned and spent exclusively in the Battle Tower. Battle Points cannot be traded with other players and can only be used in the Battle Tower Shop, where you can purchase a variety of useful items.
• Omega+ Credits are exclusive to Pixelmon. They are obtained by purchasing Omega+ and redeeming the monthly Omega+ Kit. These credits can be spent in the Omega+ Credit Shop to purchase unique chat tags.
