Adrian, 2026-11-02: the End looked barren. The End is now a zone of its own (Lv 50-70, world/zones.json -> dimensions; Zones.at returns it anywhere in the End). tools/zone_spawns.py copies every line Cobblemon spawns in End biomes into spawn_pool_world/the_end.json, on top of its island home: Beheeyem, Reuniclus, Metagross; Gothitelle and Sigilyph in End cities; Malamar and Unown with a Poke Snack. Cobblemon rolls the bucket before the Pokemon and has these all uncommon or rare, so they move to the common bucket with even line weights (Metagross a fifth). Self-test end_has_spawns: the main island is in the_end and offers only End spawns, some in the common bucket. Self-tests and the island check pass.

Phase 7 – checks for Adrian
Decided
2026-11-02: every zone guardian gets area attacks, more and harder in harder zones; the Basalt Furnace and the End get bosses; dying or leaving the arena loses the fight; area attacks hit only the player. Then: the Deep Dark gets a legendary, and every guardian should fit its zone. Groudon, Giratina and Meloetta have no model in Cobblemon 1.8.4, so Moltres, Eternatus and Regigigas stand in. Details: docs/design.md → "Phase 7".
Built so far
- Guardians reviewed: Mudsdale (Highland Meadows), Flygon (Sunscorch), Abomasnow (Frostpeak), Regigigas (Deep Dark), and Moltres for the Basalt Furnace, which had none. Morpeko, Pinsir, Scyther, Tangrowth, Swampert and Kingdra stay. Automated:
bosses_cover_every_guardian(also checks Cobblemon has a model for each). - Boss fights: a battle with a guardian (or the End boss) becomes a fight with area attacks: red or coloured particles on the ground show where an attack lands, about 1.5–2.5 seconds later it hits whoever stands inside. Circles, lines, cones and rings; harder zones get more of them. Fire, Ice and Poison bosses burn, freeze or poison. Automated:
boss_attack_shapes,boss_attacks_land_and_stop_with_the_battle. - Arena: leaving it (24 blocks; Basalt 32; End 40) or dying ends the battle as lost; the boss heals and stays. Automated:
boss_arena_leaving_loses. - The End: the Ender Dragon is gone; Eternatus appears on the main island, with the dragon's boss bar; beating it opens the exit portal and gateway, leaves the egg the first time and gives experience. Automated:
end_boss_replaces_the_dragon. - End spawns: the End is a zone (Lv 50–70) with Cobblemon's End lines: Beheeyem, Reuniclus, Metagross; Gothitelle and Sigilyph in End cities; Malamar and Unown with a Poké Snack. Automated:
end_has_spawns.
In game (Prism instance)
On the island save (or a new one), in creative or survival:
- Fight the Button Isle guardian (Morpeko,
/cobblesurvival guardianslists where they stand): red circles appear under you every few seconds; step out before they land. Close the battle screen to move (Cobblemon's own key), then go back to it. - Fight a later guardian (e.g. Flygon in Sunscorch or Swampert in the Mire): lines and cones from the boss as well.
- Walk more than 24 blocks away from a guardian during its fight: the battle ends as lost, and the guardian is at full HP again.
- Leave the End and come back without beating Eternatus: still only one (fixed 2026-11-02).
- Go to the End: no dragon; Eternatus stands south of the portal, the boss bar shows its HP. Beat it: the exit portal opens, the egg appears.
- Find Regigigas in a Deep Dark cave and Moltres in the Basalt Furnace.
- Walk around the End's islands for a minute: Beheeyem, Reuniclus and now and then Metagross appear, Lv 50–70 (
/cobblesurvival zoneshows "The End").
Ask Adrian
- Do the attacks feel dodgeable but dangerous? All numbers are placeholders (
docs/balance.md). - Swap Moltres → Groudon, Eternatus → Giratina, Regigigas → Meloetta when Cobblemon adds their models? (one word each in
world/zones.json/tools/zone_bosses.py)
