Better Spawner
This article is incomplete. You can help the Pixelmon Wiki by expanding it.
The Better Spawner is an new entity spawning system introduced in Pixelmon 6.0.0. It is capable of handling item, Pixelmon NPC, and Pokémon spawning, but can be expanded to handle any kind of entity. All information on what entities spawn and where is backed by JSON files. These can be modified from, by default, pixelmon/spawning/ if the Pixelmon Config has useExternalJSONFilesSpawning enabled. The directory the external JSONs will load from can be modified in the Pixelmon Config.
Many more options for the Better Spawner exist in the Better Spawner config.
Specific types of SpawnInfos have extra properties.
For "typeID" = "pokemon":
| Property label | Type of value | Description |
|---|---|---|
"spec"
|
A Pokémon Spec in its JSON form. | The Pokémon Spec representation of the Pokémon to spawn. This might just contain the name, or any other of the options. |
"minLevel"
|
Positive integer. | The lowest level the Pokémon may spawn at. This option is ignored if the Pokémon Spec option specifies the level. |
"maxLevel"
|
Positive integer. | The highest level the Pokémon may spawn at. This option is ignored if the Pokémon Spec option specifies the level. |
"spawnSpecificShinyRate"
|
Optional positive integer, including 0. | The shiny rate denominator specific to this spawn. For example, if one desired a 1% chance of a shiny for a spawn, this field would be 100 to represent a 1/100 chance.

Any of the following: "Trainer","ChattingNPC","Relearner","Tutor","Trader","Shopkeeper","NurseJoy".
