Can You Mine Electric Gems in Cobbleverse? Fact-Checking Mob Drops Vs. Ore Generation
By David Miller
Wild Electric-type Pokémon drops represent the primary source of Electric Gems. When you defeat or capture a monster, Cobblemon mob loot tables roll two distinct probability pools: general species drops and guaranteed held item rolls. If a creature spawns naturally carrying an Electric Gem, capturing or defeating that mob registers a payout.
Magnemite and Magneton serve as the most reliable targets across standard modpacks. Magnemite carries an inherent 5% baseline drop chance for an Electric Gem upon defeat, accompanied by scrap metal and redstone. Wild Pikachu spawns present an alternative, balancing Pikachu held items between Light Balls and elemental gems. Setting up a localized staging camp in specific habitats yields dozens of encounters per in-game day without touching a pickaxe.
