CobbleShine is a free Cobblemon 1.8.1 server built around shiny hunting, with events all season long.
Every night at 8 PM Eastern, Shiny Hour triples shiny odds on wild spawns for an hour, plus a weekend EU Shiny Hour at 20:00 Berlin time. From October 18 to November 2 the Haunted Hollow opens: free to visit, 25 pumpkins to find and shinies at 1 in 512. Legendary sightings roam the wild every couple of hours.
You spawn in Shine City, a walled town on a sky island. The Safari Zone fills a giant crater (shinies 1 in 1,024), legendary altars wait in the Sanctuaries (1 in 128), and there are 18 gyms at level 100 with an Elite Four for the endgame, plus raid dens, Mega Evolution, GTS trading and breeding. Hostile mobs don't spawn and your builds are protected.
Crate keys are earned, never sold: vote (a Vote Key and $250 each time), keep a daily streak, finish Journey milestones.
