How it works

Every rule the mod follows, from the knockout to the end of the battle.

Experience and EVs at each knockout

When a Pokémon faints, the other side is paid right then:

• Every Pokémon that fought it gets the full amount. In a double battle, both of yours that faced it get the full amount each.
• A Pokémon holding an Exp. Share that did not fight it gets a share of that amount, Cobblemon's experienceShareMultiplier. It can be on the bench.
• Anyone else gets nothing.

The amount is Cobblemon's own calculation, so everything that changes it still does: a Lucky Egg, a Pokémon from another trainer, one ready to evolve, high friendship, and Cobblemon's experienceMultiplier. A mod that changes how much EXP a battle gives, or caps a level, changes it here too.

EVs are paid at the same knockout, to the same Pokémon, the way the main series does it. Power items and any mod that changes EV gains apply. The mod never names EVs; you see them only as stats going up.

It works in every battle: wild Pokémon, trainers and other players.

The end of the battle never pays twice

An opponent is settled at its knockout. When the battle ends, Cobblemon runs its usual payout, and it pays nothing for an opponent a knockout already paid. You end the battle with what Cobblemon would have given you, delivered knockout by knockout.

A knockout that happens after the battle is already over pays nothing at all.

Who does not earn

• A Pokémon that has fainted gets nothing from later knockouts, unless Cobblemon's awardExperienceToFaintedPokemon is on. That setting exists only in Cobblemon 1.8; on 1.7, a fainted Pokémon never earns.
• Against another player, nothing is paid unless Cobblemon's allowExperienceFromPvP allows it.
• Catching a Pokémon pays no EXP, as in Cobblemon.

What a knockout paid is yours to keep, even if you go on to lose the battle.

A new level counts in the same battle

A Pokémon that levels up at a knockout fights the rest of that battle at its new level.

• Stats are recalculated with the new level and EVs. EVs alone are enough: stats rise even without a new level.
• Stat boosts already set up stay, and multiply the new stats. +2 Attack is still +2.
• HP gains the difference in max HP. A Pokémon at 30/60 whose max HP rises to 64 has 34/64, and the next hit is taken from 34.
• A fainted Pokémon stays fainted. A level or EVs never bring it back.
• The bench levels up too. An Exp. Share holder switches in with its new level and stats.
• A transformed Pokémon (Transform, Ditto) gets its new level and HP, and keeps the stats it copied until the transformation ends.
• Evolution waits for the battle to end, as it does in Cobblemon.

Everyone watching sees the new level and HP on the battle bar. The switch screen shows each Pokémon's new level, HP and moves.

The move screen

A level-up can unlock a move. What happens next depends on whether the Pokémon has room for it.

With a free slot, the move is learned at once, with full PP, and you can use it on the next turn. No screen opens.

With four moves, the move screen opens once the turn has played out.

The header names the Pokémon: Sparky (Pikachu) ♂ Lv. 8, or Pikachu ♂ Lv. 8 without a nickname. The cards are in three columns:

Column	What it holds
Moveset	the four moves the Pokémon knows, in their slots
New moves	every move this level-up unlocked
To Move Pool	what will not stay in the moveset

Drag a new move onto a moveset slot to learn it. The move it replaces drops into To Move Pool. Drag a new move into To Move Pool to leave it unlearned. Everything is reversible until you press Done: a replaced move can go back into its own slot, and the moveset never loses a slot.

• Done stays grey until New moves is empty: every new move has to go somewhere.
• Esc does not close it. The send-out key (R by default) minimises it along with the battle, and it comes back exactly as you left it.
• Each card shows the move's type, its category, power, accuracy (— for a move that cannot miss), its effect chances and its PP. A ▲N badge counts its PP Ups. Hover a card for the move's description, or the badge for what a PP Up is.
• A forgotten move goes to the move pool and keeps its PP Ups, so learning it back later costs nothing.
• A new move enters with full PP. If it was already in the move pool, it brings that entry's PP Ups and leaves the pool.
• Several Pokémon, several screens: one per Pokémon, in party order. The next opens when you press Done on the one before. Two moves unlocked at once share one screen.
• The knockout that ends the battle opens nothing. Its new moves wait in the move pool, where you can teach them from the summary as always.
• If the battle ends some other way while the screen is open (forfeit, disconnect), the screen closes, nothing is learned and the new moves stay in the move pool.

Battle log

Everything the mod changes is written into the battle log, only for the Pokémon's owner. Your opponent and anyone watching see the new level and HP on the battle bar, and nothing else.

When	The line
A knockout pays EXP	Pikachu gained 245 Exp. Points!
It levels up	Pikachu grew to Lv. 23!
Its stats change	Pikachu's stats rose: HP +3, Atk +2, Spe +3 — only the stats that rose
It learns a move into a free slot	Pikachu learned Thunderbolt!
The move screen opens	Pikachu wants to learn Thunderbolt… — once per new move
A new move replaces an old one	Pikachu forgot Tackle and learned Thunderbolt!
A new move goes to the move pool	Pikachu did not learn Thunderbolt.

A nickname is used wherever the Pokémon has one. A Pokémon at level 100 gains no EXP, so it gets no EXP or level line, only stats rose when its EVs move a stat.
