unique-legends

Unique Legends is a server-side Cobblemon addon designed for servers that want legendary and rare Pokémon to feel meaningful.

By default, the mod makes these Pokémon unique per server:

Legendary Pokémon
Mythical Pokémon
Ultra Beasts

When a tracked Pokémon is captured, that species becomes locked globally. Other players can still encounter and battle that Pokémon, but they cannot capture another copy while the lock is active.

The mod works normally without it, but enabling the pack makes locked unique Pokémon easier to identify visually inside the chest-style menu.

Server-side only

Players do not need to install the mod on their clients.

Unique Legends works entirely from the server by listening to Cobblemon events and enforcing capture rules server-side.

Existing server support

Adding the mod to an existing Cobblemon server is supported.

Unique Legends can scan existing player party and PC storage, then build its registry automatically or through:

/uniquelegends scan fix

This helps detect and register already-owned unique Pokémon.

Admin commands

/uniquelegends list
/uniquelegends info <species>
/uniquelegends unlock <species>
/uniquelegends scan
/uniquelegends scan fix
/uniquelegends check-inactive
/uniquelegends reload
/uniquelegends debug

Aliases:

/ul
/legendarylock

Species arguments support Cobblemon autocomplete, similar to /pokespawn.

Configurable behavior

You can configure:

which species are tracked
which Cobblemon labels are tracked
whether shiny Pokémon ignore locks
inactivity release timing
startup scanning
chat broadcasts
title broadcasts
all player-facing messages

Default tracked labels:

"trackedLabels": [
  "legendary",
  "mythical",
  "ultra_beast"
]

Inactivity system

Servers can automatically free unique Pokémon from inactive players.

When enabled, the mod checks the owner’s party and PC for the exact Pokémon UUID, removes it if found, unlocks the species, and saves the registry.

Trade and release handling

Unique Legends keeps ownership accurate when Pokémon are traded and unlocks species when the registered Pokémon is released.
