Spawn System



Something unique to our server is the spawn system, they don't follow normal Pixelmon spawn patterns, instead the rates, biomes, times of day, ect have all been altered.

So what determines when and where a pokemon spawns? Well the next few sections will shed some light on this.

Please note, Biomes will not be posted here, so if you find a pokemon you like, mark where it came from!



The first thing you'll need to know is the time of the day your pokemon spawns, to do this, first we need to look

up the pokemon information. For the server information, data is used from Bulbapedia

The server has extended days and nights, however the original minecraft dusk/day/dawn/night cycles are intact, the only thing differant on the server is how long it is light/dark outside. So what does this mean? You can actually find night time pokemon on the server while it is light out.

To calculate the time of day each pokemon spawns, we use pokemon genders,

so lets say a pokemon is 25% male and 75% female in spawn rates.

That is 25% day and 75% night for spawn times on the server.

Genderless pokemon spawn in dawn/dusk, it's that simple!



Now that we know what time pokemon spawn, we need to know the rate to get an idea as to how many to expect lurking the server.

To do this, we look at the catch rate of a pokemon, the higher the catch rate, the more common it is on the server, for example, a diglett has a catch rate of 300, while an aggron has a catch rate of 45. What does this mean? You'll see much more digletts than Aggrons, as in the spawns priority formula, diglett has a higher priority than Aggron, consider it a draw for each spawn where digletts have more tickets in the pool.



The question everyone is asking, do legendaries spawn?

The answer is yes, however they have a catch rate of around 1-3, which mean they have an extremely low priority/spawn rate.
