8. Pokéballs mod in Minecraft

No more primitive weapons, you will be sure to have entered a new age when you can fight mobs with a Pokeball! This is one of the best and most fun Minecraft mods, making a perfect jump from the Pokémon franchise, this Pokéball lets you capture any of the mobs in Minecraft and then spawn them at will, wherever you want. I’m not sure why it would exactly come in handy as the mobs aren't quite as cute and endearing as their Pokemon counterparts but it's definitely an entertaining option and a good way to intimidate your enemies!

7. PokémonMD Minecraft Mod

The Minecraft Pokemon crossover is the best! This mod means that you can now craft actual Pokemon in Minecraft, which couldn't be better. The PokémonMD mod introduces several new items that can be used to craft not only select Pokémon to aid you in battle, but a variety of other creatures inspired by great gaming franchises like StarCraft and Final Fantasy, leaving you with endless play options. When worlds collide, Minecraft becomes better than ever and my inner child is squealing, alongside my adult self.

6. Pokécube Mobs Minecraft Mod

This mod functions in conjunction with the PokéCube mod, and allows you to bring several different Pokémon into your Minecraft world! Not just reskins as you might anticipate, they are acutally fully functional creatures in their own right, complete with their own abilities. It's even possible to keep them as pets. All your Poke Minecraft dreams coming true at once! Just me? Though to make it ultra realistic, maybe Fire Type Pokemon should be allowed to set things on fire spontaneously every now and then, allowing for a whole new level of play (and potential frustration) in the game! If the creatures you encounter in Minecraft just seem to get a bit samey for you, get PokéCube Mobs.

5. PokéCraft Reforged (Catch Em All) Minecraft Mod

A mod pack that is unreal amounts of cool and lets you create and curate your own Pokemon empire, your own Gym - whatever you may want, go crazy! - all within the Minecraft setup and interface. PokeCraft Reforged – Catch ‘Em All, like a few of the other mods on this list, introduces Pokémon battling and catching in Minecraft. But it does so with an interesting twist! Instead of making your Pokémon do all the hard work, you can fight alongside them using the all-powerful Magic Arts. If these creatures are really your friends, and not mere weapons, the time has come to show it to the world. Venture through the world and collect your Pokemon, and your gym badges, master Magical Arts to help fight those that your partner can't. Go forth and build your own awesome Pokemon Headquarters. Conquer the challenges you may face, catch the Legendary Monsters that roam the world. Most of all, enjoy your self! The perfect way to fuse the two games together and so so cool, I love the internet and its real life superheros!

4. PokéTournament Minecraft mod

This Minecraft Pokemon mod allows you and your friends to stage massive Pokémon fighting tournaments in Minecraft and exclusively runs on Pixelmon modded servers. So let’s say you’ve caught’em all. You’ve defeated all the Gym Leaders. And you think you’re done after playing all the main titles. The mod also has an anti-cheat system that will let you see if any of your friends happens to be a member of Team Rocket in disguise. Traitors.

3. Pokécube Slowpoke Minecraft Mod

Battling is a huge part of the Pokémon experience. And its best Minecraft recreation is brought to you by Pokécube! Pokécube introduces Pokémobs who will fight you on sight. Pokemobs spawn and despawn in the way animals used to do before Minecraft Beta 1.7. Pokemobs can fall in love, but only with another Pokemob from the same evolution set and from the opposite gender. Baby (Pichu for example) and no-gendered pokemobs can't breed. The female will lay an egg and stay around it to hen, but it is possible to pick it up. You can then put it wherever you want by right click and it will hatch after a while. Breeding is something natural that can happen in the wild. It's not rare to find eggs or to meet weak Pokemobs newly born. You can also put a pair of mobs into a pen to make them breed. Beware though! A newly born Pokemob is never tamed, so it can attack you.

To begin a fight, there are two ways. The first one is to launch a filled pokecube against a wild Pokemob. The fight starts between the two mobs. The second is to get one or several of your friends out of their pokecube and to attack a wild Pokemob. The agressed Pokemob will defend itself and will be taken as target by all your loyal defenders. These mobs will not limit themselves to just unleashing their most powerful special moves, oh no. They’ll dynamically react to the flow of battle and the environment where you’re fighting. So they can take advantage of the terrain whenever they can, which is quite impressive.

2. Pixelmon Minecraft Pokémon Mod

Gotta catch ’em all! Not just the Pokémon franchise catchphrase, now it can be the Minecraft catchphrase too, thanks to Pixelmon. It's hard to top this masterpiece of a mod, it truly is one of the best Pokemon Minecraft mods of all time! It's so incredibly intricate and a masterpiece in motion and a joy to play!

In the best possible way - and in ways I never imagined could be possible. It is your childhood dream reimagined. This gives you the chance to battle and catch Pokémon, enter Gyms to challenge its leaders, and rise as the best Pokémon Trainer of your world. Pixelmon Reforged would have been the ultimate end all Minecraft Pokémon mod, very nearly if it hadn't been for...

1. Pixelmon Generations Minecraft Pokemon Mod

How do you top a perfect recreation of the Pokémon experience in Minecraft? By replicating exactly each and every Pokemon ever and putting them in to Minecraft to let you catch ’em all!
