Why PokeClash may fit you
PokeClash combines ordinary survival with Dex ranks, research tasks, player markets, mass outbreaks, raid bosses and player gym leaders. Its public Modrinth listing explicitly calls the server non-P2W and documents multiple modpack choices.
What progression looks like
Important caveats
The recommended custom pack unlocks features such as riding, maps and custom equipment. The server also has an economy and many systems, so it may not suit someone wanting near-vanilla Cobblemon.
Evidence
Claims are drawn from the server’s current Modrinth listing and official installation wiki. “Non-P2W” remains the server owner’s published claim, not a permanent CobbleDex certification.
