Are you wondering if you can trade in Cobblemon to evolve your Pokémon or trade with other Cobblemon players? Cobblemon is the hit Minecraft open-source Pokémon mod that allows you to capture and battle your favorite Pokémon. One of the fun features of Pokémon games was the ability to trade them to friends to evolve them or complete your collection.
Can You Trade Pokémon in Cobblemon?
No, there is currently no trading feature in Cobblemon, which means you cannot trade Pokémon in Cobblemon to evolve them. However, the developers have created an item called a Link Cable that you can use on Pokémon that evolve when traded instead. A Link Cable is an evolutionary item that can be used to evolve Pokémon that evolve via trading.
The Link Cable should look familiar because it is a tribute to the old link cable you used to link two Gameboy devices to initiate a trade with another person. You can craft a Link Cable by adding the following materials to your crafting bench:
- 1 x Copper Ingot
- 2 x Iron Ingot
- 2 x Popped Chorus Fruit
Note: You can have a total of 64 Link Cables stacked.
