Cobblemon Pasture Block Breeding Guide 2026: How to Breed Pokemon

Published on

How to use the Cobblemon pasture block for breeding Pokemon, including compatible pairs, egg mechanics, IV inheritance, and server configuration for breeding.

The pasture block is how breeding works in Cobblemon. Place two compatible Pokemon in a pasture, and they can produce an egg over time.

How Pasture Breeding Works

  1. Craft a pasture block
  2. Place it in the world
  3. Right-click it to open the pasture interface
  4. Place two compatible Pokemon inside
  5. Wait for them to produce an egg
  6. Collect the egg and walk to hatch it

Compatible Breeding Pairs

Cobblemon follows the same egg group rules as the main Pokemon games. Two Pokemon can breed if they share at least one egg group and are opposite genders (or one is Ditto).

Common egg groups include:

  • Field
  • Water 1
  • Monster
  • Dragon
  • Human-Like

Ditto can breed with any breedable Pokemon regardless of egg group.

IV Inheritance

When two Pokemon breed, the offspring inherits some Individual Values (IVs) from the parents. This allows selective breeding for competitive stats.

The exact inheritance mechanics depend on the Cobblemon version and server configuration. Some servers use datapacks to modify breeding rates and IV mechanics.

Server Configuration

Server administrators can configure breeding through Cobblemon config files:

  • Breeding speed
  • Egg hatch distance
  • Pasture range
  • Maximum Pokemon per pasture

Check your Cobblemon config folder for breeding-related settings.

Hosting a Breeding-Focused Server

Breeding adds entity ticks for pastured Pokemon. For servers with many active breeders:

  • Allocate at least 6 GB RAM
  • Pre-generate chunks around breeding areas
  • Monitor TPS during heavy breeding activity
  • Consider limiting pasture blocks per player
