If possible, Tumblestone would prioritize spawning near the walls of the cave. Could also have the colors of Tumblestone spawn in different frequencies underground than they do in mountains.

There are five reasons for this suggestion:

1. There are not many reasons for players to go underground in Pixelmon. In fact, Pixelmon doesn't really add anything to the underground experience at all. The only thing I can think of is underground spawns, but you can usually find underground Pokemon under roofs, under overhangs, or in the Nether too.
2. Despite being used to make a more primitive Poke Ball, Tumblestone is hard to come across due to only spawning in large amounts in mountainous biomes, which players would have to seek out due to not spawning in them due to spawns being set in villages. Tumblestone spawning underground would likely make it available at the same time that other Poke Balls are available. Or just a little later, since you'd have to craft a hammer.
3. When a player finds a mountainous biome, they would have to wait for Tumblestone to grow, as it would start at the first stage. If Tumblestone also generated underground, some Tumblestone would likely have had time to grow a few stages or even become fully grown by the time the player finds or has the ability to harvest it, as the Tumblestone would have been growing while the player was exploring the caves or doing stuff on the surface.
4. When Pixelmon reaches a version of Minecraft that has Ancient Cities (the ones in the Deep Dark), it would provide an explanation of where the residents of that city were obtaining Poke Balls. After all, Apricorns would not grow very well down there. Could even add a Tumblestone farm to the Ancient Cities which comes with a hammer on the wall.
5. There is lots of raw Tumblestone in the mineshaft loot. Where is it coming from? Having Tumblestone spawn underground would explain why raw Tumblestone is found in the minecarts with chests that are scattered around the mineshafts.
