Cobblemon: Synchro Machine [Morph Play as a Pokémon]

Cobblemon Synchro Machine

Become the Pokémon. In survival. In multiplayer.

The Synchro Machine lets you merge with any Cobblemon Pokémon — inheriting its model, stats, moves, ability, held-item effects and typing. No battles required. Every morph is fully visible to other players in real time, with the mod's own custom UI and Cobblemon's real move sounds and particle effects.

How It Works

Craft or obtain the Synchro Machine item and open the team screen (G). Load Pokémon from your Cobblemon party into team slots, then select an active slot to morph. Model, animations, sounds and stat passives apply immediately. Switch slots to change form on the fly.

Prefer to start your whole adventure as a Pokémon? Enable Start as a Pokémon at world creation and skip the item entirely.

New in 1.8.2

Your Figura model can be your morph. If you use Figura, your avatar can be what you look like while morphed. Out of the box a morph_<pokemon>_root or morph_root part of your model shows and your normal root hides; a rules file lets you decide which parts show for which species, types, forms and movement states, and your avatar's script gets a synchro table with the species, state and moves. Clips named morph_walk, morph_run, morph_physicalattack and so on play automatically. See Figura avatars below.

Emotions and a cry key. The emote wheel has an Emotions page — Happy, Sad, Angry, Unamused, Shocked, Surprised, Hurt, Cry, Smile, Blush, Determined and more, for the Pokémon that have them. Press R at any time to call out as your Pokémon; everyone nearby hears it.

Leave your trainer behind (optional). Turn on leaveTrainerBody and synchronizing leaves a copy of your trainer where you stood, so it reads as heading off as your Pokémon. Un-synchronizing walks you back to it.

Admin control. Every /synchro command now uses permission nodes (LuckPerms and similar, Fabric and NeoForge), every on/off setting can be changed with /synchro config, and on someone else's server the config screen shows only your own client-side settings.

Fixes worth knowing about.

• Levels are no longer lost. Rare candy or battle levels you give the real Pokémon now carry into your morph, and your morph can no longer overwrite them with an older number. Levels you set with /synchro edit reach the party Pokémon too.
• Transform can't overwrite your real Pokémon any more.
• Held items no longer replace other mods' models — the bundled resource pack is gone, which fixes the glitched models and the Mega Pidgeot crash reported with Complete Cobblemon Collection and other model packs.
• Regional evolutions respect their biome, teaching moves follows Cobblemon's TM rules, and a battle ending in a capture or forfeit no longer leaves you invisible.

Cobblemon 1.8.2 – 1.8.4. Works with the 17 Pokémon Cobblemon 1.8.2 added and with the new flight animations (Spearow and Fearow fly with real animations now).

New in 1.8

Cobblemon 1.8 "Make Your Move" support.

• Alpha Pokémon — synchronize with an Alpha and you become one: its size, its look, and the TM move Alphas always know all carry over.
• Marks — your morph wears its Pokémon's mark. Click the Mark row on the Info tab to cycle through the marks it has earned, or wear none — per Pokémon, and remembered.
• TMs matter — the move picker now offers only the TMs you've actually unlocked, so your morph's movepool grows with your TM collection instead of being handed to you at level 1. Playing as a Pokémon also counts toward unlocking TM recipes.
• Intrinsic and baby scaling — your hitbox matches whatever size your Pokémon really is.
