We have made a new update to the Cobblemon shop vendor in Shadows of Aethro!
This update focuses on two main areas: adding Type Gems to the shop and cleaning up Poké Ball pricing so prices better reflect usefulness, rarity, and power.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 New Items: Type Gems
All Cobblemon Type Gems have now been added to the shop.
Type Gems are rare battle items that boost a matching move type, so they are being priced as premium items rather than cheap everyday supplies.
New Type Gems added:
• Normal Gem
• Fire Gem
• Water Gem
• Electric Gem
• Grass Gem
• Ice Gem
• Fighting Gem
• Poison Gem
• Ground Gem
• Flying Gem
• Psychic Gem
• Bug Gem
• Rock Gem
• Ghost Gem
• Dragon Gem
• Dark Gem
• Steel Gem
• Fairy Gem
Pricing:
Most Type Gems are priced at 45,000.
Dragon, Dark, Steel, and Fairy Gems are priced at 50,000.

⚾ Poké Ball Price Adjustments
Poké Ball prices have also been readjusted across the shop.
Previously, a lot of specialty balls were grouped together at the same price, even when some were stronger, weaker, rarer, or more situational than others. This update gives the shop a cleaner progression and makes each purchase feel a little more intentional.
What changed:
• Basic Poké Balls and simple variants are now more affordable.
• Great Balls and Ultra Balls now have a more sensible price progression.
• Specialty balls such as Quick, Dusk, Timer, Repeat, Net, Dive, and Nest Balls are priced around their stronger conditional uses.
• Safari, Sport, Park, Luxury, Beast, Master, and Ancient Origin Balls remain premium purchases.
• Ancient ball variants have been adjusted to better match their modern equivalents.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛒 Why We Made This Change
The goal is to make the shop feel better for both newer and established players.
Basic catching supplies should be easier to buy.
Stronger Poké Balls should still feel valuable.
Rare battle items should still feel rare.
Overall, this should make the Cobblemon shop feel more balanced, less random, and more useful as players progress through Shadows of Aethro.
As always, prices may be adjusted again if needed once we see how everything feels in actual play.
Thanks for continuing to help us improve Shadows of Aethro!
