Catch Indicator

✨ Instantly see whether a wild Pokémon is new, already seen, already caught, or has special traits worth noticing.

A clean, lightweight, and polished Cobblemon client mod built to make exploration smoother, smarter, and more rewarding.

Why Players Love Catch Indicator

Catch Indicator upgrades wild Pokémon nametags with a clean and highly useful visual information system.

While exploring, you can instantly tell if a Pokémon is:

Unknown
Already seen
Already caught
Shiny
Alpha
A special size
Male or female

No more second-guessing. No more wasted encounters. Just clear information, right when you need it. 🎯

And with v1.6, the mod goes even further with configurable right-side suffixes, custom shiny icon support, and smart compatibility with Cobblemon add-on mods.

Features

👀 Instantly identify new discoveries

Wild Pokémon you have never encountered can display a hidden placeholder such as ???, making brand-new encounters stand out immediately.

📖 Seen Pokémon stay readable

Once a Pokémon has been encountered, its normal name is shown as expected for a smooth and intuitive progression.

✅ Know what you have already caught

Caught Pokémon receive a subtle visual indicator, helping you decide in a split second whether to battle, catch, or move on.

✨ New configurable suffix system

Catch Indicator now supports optional right-side suffixes on Pokémon nametags, including:

Shiny
Alpha
Size
Gender

Suffix order is clean and intentional:

Shiny -> Alpha -> Size -> Gender

🌟 Custom shiny icon

Shiny Pokémon now use a custom icon for a cleaner and more polished nameplate look.

🧬 Gender display

You can now display Pokémon gender directly in the nametag with simple readable symbols:

♂
♀

📏 Cobblemon Size Variations support

If Cobblemon Size Variations is installed, Catch Indicator can display Pokémon size presets directly in the nameplate, such as:

Tiny
Average
Huge

The option only appears when the mod is actually loaded.

👑 Cobblemon Alphas support

If Cobblemon Alphas is installed, Catch Indicator can detect and display Alpha Pokémon automatically.

The related config option only appears when the mod is present, keeping the menu clean and relevant.
