# Pokémon

Pokémon catches use the standard Cobblemon fishing selection algorithm, and all possible spawns can be viewed with `/checkspawns`. You can also equip [**PokéBait**](https://wiki.cobblemon.com/index.php/Seasoning#Bait_Seasoning) in your **Fishing Supplies** menu to apply their normal effects. 

Battles automatically begin when you reel in a Pokémon, but this can be disabled in `/toggle`. Defeating a fished Pokémon can drop **Junk/Pearls/Essence/Treasure.**
