Servers by votes this month
Pixelmon adds Pokémon to Minecraft. You catch them with Poké Balls, train and evolve them, battle trainers and other players, and challenge gym leaders. Servers add shops, trading, events and ranks around that. You need Minecraft Java Edition and the matching Pixelmon version. It suits Pokémon fans who like long-term collecting and team building. The ranking follows player votes this month, and each IP copies with one click.
How to choose a good Pixelmon server
- Mod version. The server tells you which Pixelmon and Minecraft version it runs. Install exactly that, because other versions cannot connect.
- Content and activity. Look for active gyms, trainers, events and a trading community. Players online and recent reviews show whether the server is alive.
- Pay-to-win. Selling legendary or shiny Pokémon for real money gives paying players a big advantage. A fair store sells cosmetics and ranks.
- Rules. Check the rules on trading, duplication and catching limits, and whether staff deal with scams.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Pixelmon server?
Start with the top of this list, ranked by player votes this month. Choose a server whose Pixelmon version you can install and where gyms and trading are active, since the whole mode lives on other players. Spend a first evening catching and battling to judge the community.
Are Pixelmon servers free?
Joining is free on nearly all of them, and the mod is a free download. You still need Minecraft Java Edition. Servers earn money from ranks and cosmetics, so avoid any that sell rare Pokémon.
Do I need to install Pixelmon to join?
Yes. Pixelmon is a mod, so your game must run the same Pixelmon version as the server. Use a launcher to install the mod, add the server IP in Multiplayer and join. A normal Minecraft client without the mod will be refused.
