Pixelmon Mod Guide - Catching Pokemon in Minecraft

Welcome to the world of Minecraft Pokemon

Imagine being able to roam the endless expanses of your Minecraft world and come across a herd of wild Pikachus or encounter a majestic Gyarados. Thanks to the Pixelmon mod, that's exactly possible. In this article, you will learn how to install and use the mod to experience your own adventures in the Pokemon world of Minecraft.

The Pixelmon mod allows you to find and catch all the familiar Pokemon in your Minecraft game. You can challenge gym leaders, track down legendary Pokemon, and assemble your own team. In short, you can enjoy the entire Pokemon experience within the framework of your Minecraft game.

How to Install the Pixelmon Mod?

Installing Pixelmon Reforged

To install Pixelmon Reforged, you will need the Curseforge App. Search for the Pixelmon Modpack there and click on 'Install'. Once the installation is complete, your Minecraft Launcher will automatically start and be ready to load the Pixelmon Mod.

Installing Pixelmon Generations

To install Pixelmon Generations, you will need Minecraft Forge. Install it and then select the downloaded version of Forge under 'Launch Options'. Save this and close Minecraft. Next, download the latest version of Pixelmon and drag it into the 'Mods' folder in the Minecraft game directory.

Reforged or Generations – Which is Better?

Both versions of the mod offer a great gaming experience, but they differ in terms of updates and the included Pokemon. Generations offers more frequent updates and includes more Pokemon from the 7th generation than Reforged. However, Reforged runs smoother than Generations.

Commands in Pixelmon

With certain console commands, you can further enhance your gaming experience – from breeding and healing to saving your Pokemon.

Playing on a Pixelmon Server

Do you want to go on Pokemon hunts with other players? On dedicated servers, you can play with other trainers and explore entire cities. If you prefer playing with friends, there are also options for hosting a private server.
