Adds a Shiny Exchange Gem that converts owned Pokémon into shiny form in Cobblemon.
📖About ShinyShift – Shiny Exchange Gem
✨ Public Release
ShinyShift introduces a special item for Cobblemon that allows players to interact with Pokémon shiny mechanics in a balanced, progression-focused way, designed for long-term survival and multiplayer servers.
The mod ensures that shiny Pokémon remain rare, meaningful, and valuable, rather than something that can be easily mass-produced early on.
💎 New Item: Shiny Exchange Gem
A special gem used to trigger Shiny-related effects for Cobblemon Pokémon.
Designed to be rare, valuable, and mid-to-late-game oriented.
Fully integrated with Cobblemon’s systems
(no commands, no hacks, no cheats).
🕹️ How to Use
💎 Shiny Exchange Gem
The Shiny Exchange Gem is used directly on your Cobblemon Pokémon.
Steps:
- Send a Pokémon from your team into the world
- Hold the Shiny Exchange Gem in your hand
- Right-click the Pokémon
✨ Behavior
❌ If the Pokémon is NOT shiny
→ The Pokémon will be converted into its shiny form
→ The item is consumed
✅ If the Pokémon is ALREADY shiny
→ Nothing happens
→ The item is NOT consumed
✔ Safe to use
✔ Prevents item waste
✔ Works only on your own Pokémon
🛠️ Crafting & Progression
In version 1.1.x, crafting progression has been reworked to better preserve the value of shiny Pokémon.

📝 Developer Note
Note from the author:
This mod started as a learning project and has grown into a fully functional Cobblemon addon.
While ShinyShift is thoroughly tested, there may still be edge cases I haven’t encountered yet.
