Welcome to Rodd's Shadow League (RSL)

​

Rodd’s Shadow League is a competitive Cobblemon league & server, built inside Minecraft, blending strategic Pokémon-style gameplay with a rich custom world and real-money tournaments

​

 

Server opens at 500 players on the waitlist: Join the waitlist

​

COMING SOON - Anticipated launch sometime in February - April 2026

​​

​We believe that the average Cobblemon server doesn't focus hard enough on the Pokemon aspect. Rather than surviving and increase your loot on another world, you can simply focus entirely on Pokemon. To put it simply, its as if a Pokemon game were implemented into a Minecraft server.

​​

If Pokemon and Minecraft had a baby, it's this

- Pokemon, but Online, simply using Minecraft as the medium
- Win real money in tournament earnings
- Custom, smart, and automatic elo rating system
- Any player skill-level can win money, all are welcome
- Elo-based matchmaking, always available
- More than competitive Pokemon - something to do at all times
- Absolutely zero pay to win, it's impossible
- This is not an SMP server

​

Some Features:

ELO Rating System

All battles outside of tournaments are fair game towards your Elo rating. Smart anti-farming system built-in, Elo seasons, Elo-based random matchmaking, many stats automatically kept track of and viewable on the website, etc. Elo "Ranks": start at Copper rank and win enough all the way to Master.

​

Learn to play Competitive Pokemon

Any player skill-level welcomed, and anyone can win real money, against players of similar skill. Learn through experience here. Matchmake against players your level and climb the ranks to where you belong, and keep getting better.

​

Frequent Tournaments

"Regionals", "Masters", and more. Daily tournaments won't be available upon inital server open, however, we will select 10 willing players as the town mayors, and the mayors will each host at least one town-wide tournament _each day_. Once this is in place, there will be at least 10 tournaments every single day. Plus Regionals, our monthly open-rank tournament, and Masters, our rank-based seasonal tournament, where the Champion of the server is declared.

​

Massive Explorable Map

10k x 10k fully custom map and Pokemon region. Multiple people worked countless hours on this alone. There's so much to find, collect, and do. Everything you find has a unique purpose and function that's worth searching for. Features custom biomes, custom Pokemon spawns, 15+ towns, 10 gyms, Elite Four, and more.

​

Incredibly Immersive

Every single aspect has been thought of, from the shader settings, custom resourcepacks, custom mods, so much integration and automation, and so much more. Look at the gallery screenshots.

​

Community-driven

Each town actually feels secluded and immersed from the rest of the world, creating its own mini-community among the greater server community. Because of this, paired with each town's different atmosphere, players will have a sense of belonging in the town they reside in. You can buy a plot in your favorite town, or land in the wilderness, using diamonds.

​

Not an SMP

We at rodderrick co. dislike the crafting mechanic, and the "survival" aspect of Minecraft. On this server you can expect to not have to "survive", there's no monsters or anything else going after you. Its just Pokemon and the world.

​

And Way More

You'll just have to play for yourself. We don't remember a lot of the things added, there's just so much to explore and do. It's so much more than competitive Pokemon.
