Introduction to Titan

Section titled “Introduction to Titan”

Titan is a powerful boss fight system for Cobblemon servers that transforms regular Pokémon into epic multi-phase boss encounters with fully customizable moves, AI behavior, and mechanics.

What is Titan?

Titan converts any Cobblemon Pokémon into a challenging boss fight with:

  • Custom Move System - Define boss moves with ActionEffect timelines
  • Multi-Phase Battles - Health-based progression with dynamic stat modifiers
  • Advanced AI - JSON-configurable state machines with MoLang transitions
  • Visual Telegraphs - Ground warnings show attack zones before they land
  • Vulnerability Windows - RECOVERING and EXHAUSTED states for counterplay
  • OBB Damage System - 6 shape types for precise hitbox control
