Pixelmon Reforged

Pixelmon Reforged has brought Pokemon to Minecraft with stunning success, accumulating over 19 million downloads and establishing itself as the definitive Pokemon Minecraft experience. When you host a Pixelmon server, you're creating a unique gaming destination that attracts players from both the Minecraft and Pokemon communities.

Why Host a Pixelmon Server?

Pixelmon servers attract dedicated players who stay long-term. The combination of Minecraft's creative building and Pokemon's collecting and battling creates incredible retention. Many Pixelmon servers have thriving communities that remain active for years, making it one of the best investments for building a lasting player base.

Server Requirements for Pixelmon

Pixelmon requires moderate server resources due to Pokemon entity spawning and battle calculations. We recommend 6GB RAM for smooth gameplay with 10-20 concurrent players. Servers running additional plugins (economy systems, gyms, tournaments) should allocate 8GB+. Our optimized Pixelmon configurations ensure smooth spawning and battle processing.

Over 900 Pokemon to Catch

Pixelmon includes nearly the complete Pokemon roster through multiple generations. Each Pokemon features detailed 3D models with authentic animations that bring them to life in the Minecraft world. Pokemon spawn in appropriate biomes - water types near oceans, fire types in deserts, creating natural exploration incentives.

Authentic Battle System

Pixelmon's turn-based battle system faithfully recreates Pokemon combat. Stats, abilities, moves, type matchups, and status effects all work as expected. Players who know Pokemon strategy will feel right at home while newcomers learn the system quickly.

Gym Challenges and Server Events

Set up gym leader challenges, organize tournaments, and create competitive leagues. Pixelmon servers often establish player-run gyms with custom requirements and rewards. Our servers support the permission systems and plugins needed for organized Pixelmon gameplay.

Breeding and IV Training

Serious players engage with Pokemon breeding to optimize IVs and nature. This adds depth that keeps dedicated players engaged for hundreds of hours, constantly working to perfect their teams.

Economy Integration

Many Pixelmon servers incorporate economy plugins for Pokemon trading, market systems, and gym rewards. These systems create engaging server economies that drive player interaction.

Build Your Pokemon World

Beyond catching and battling, players build Pokemon Centers, gyms, arenas, and themed cities. This combination of building and Pokemon gameplay is unique to Pixelmon.
