How to Get Started Right on Pixelmon? Complete Guide for New Trainers

🧩 What exactly is Pixelmon?

Pixelmon is a mod for Minecraft that transforms the game into a true Pokémon adventure. You can:

• 🔎 Explore the world in search of Pokémon
• 🎯 Catch and train them
• ⚔️ Battle other trainers or wild Pokémon
• 🏆 Participate in tournaments, win badges, etc.

With over 900 Pokémon available, Pixelmon is an ultra-complete mod, regularly updated, and very popular with Minecraft and Pokémon fans.

🛠️ Step 1: How to Install Pixelmon?

To play Pixelmon, you need to install a modpack. Here are the recommended steps:

1. Install the Technic or CurseForge launcher
2. Search for the Pixelmon Reforged modpack
3. Install it, launch Minecraft with the correct profile
4. You're ready to play solo or join a server!

💡 Tip: the modpack weighs several GB, plan some disk space and RAM (4 GB minimum recommended).

🔰 Step 2: Choose Your Starter Pokémon

When you launch the game, you must choose your starter Pokémon. All starters from generations 1 to 8 are available:

• 🔥 Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic…
• 🌱 Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Turtwig…
• 💧 Squirtle, Totodile, Froakie…

Choose a Pokémon that you like, but also think about the region or biome where you start. A water-type starter in a desert? Not ideal 😅

🗺️ Step 3: Explore, Catch and Build Your Team

Once in the world, that's when the real adventure begins:

• 🎒 Get Poké Balls (craft them or buy them)
• 📍 Find different biomes to encounter new Pokémon
• 🪙 Fight wild Pokémon for XP
• 🏠 Build a base to store your items and Pokémon

💡 Pro tip: use Journeymap to mark interesting locations (Pokémon centers, forges, rare biomes).

⚔️ Step 4: Learn to Battle and Gain Experience

Battles in Pixelmon are played turn-by-turn, like in the official games. To get started right:

• ⚠️ Learn Pokémon types (fire > grass, water > fire, etc.)
• 📚 Check the stats and moves of your Pokémon
• 🔄 Use items in battle (potions, berries, etc.)

The more battles you win, the more your Pokémon level up, evolve, and become powerful.

🌐 Step 5: Join a Multiplayer Server

Pixelmon takes on a whole different dimension online. You can face other players, participate in events, and trade Pokémon.

Pixelmongo is a very active French server, ideal for beginners:

• 🗺️ Custom map and varied Pokémon biomes
