Cobblemon Mass Release

If your Cobblemon boxes are filling up fast, a mass release feature would certainly come in handy. Although Cobblemon doesn’t currently support this option, you can streamline your Cobblemon management with a few smart strategies and methods to make releasing easier and faster. Here are some tips and tricks to efficiently manage and release multiple Cobblemon at once while we wait for potential updates.


1. Create “Release-Ready” Boxes for Faster Management

One of the best ways to speed up individual releases is to sort Cobblemon into dedicated “release-ready” boxes. By keeping Cobblemon you intend to release in specific boxes, you can focus only on those Cobblemon when it’s time to clear space.

How It Works:

  • Create a series of boxes labeled “Release” and move any unwanted Cobblemon there as you catch them.
  • This organization allows you to quickly open a box and release all the Cobblemon within, reducing the need to sort or search for them later.

Extra Tip: If you have Cobblemon with unique traits, consider creating “Hold” boxes so you can still organize and filter by Cobblemon you might want to keep or trade.


2. Release After Every Session

It’s easy to let unwanted Cobblemon accumulate over time, but setting a routine to release them after each session can prevent box overflow. This habit helps keep your storage under control, making individual releases feel less overwhelming.

How It Works:

  • At the end of each gameplay session, spend a few minutes reviewing newly caught Cobblemon.
  • Sort any unwanted Cobblemon directly into your “Release” box or release them right away.

Extra Tip: Use this time to transfer any useful items from Cobblemon before releasing them, ensuring you’re not accidentally discarding valuable resources.


3. Optimize Hotkeys and Shortcuts

Check your controls and make sure you’re using any available hotkeys for box management. Switching quickly between Cobblemon, boxes, or release menus can save time and make the process feel less tedious.

How It Works:

  • Map commonly used actions like “release” or “switch box” to accessible hotkeys if the game allows customization.
  • Practice using shortcuts to speed up navigation within the boxes, so you can release multiple Cobblemon with minimal effort.

Extra Tip: Many players use Shift or Control combinations to navigate and select items quickly, so explore these options if they’re available.


4. Release in Batches with PC Storage Management

If a mass release function isn’t available, try releasing Cobblemon in batches of five to ten. This manageable batch size keeps the process steady and efficient without becoming monotonous.

How It Works:

  • Focus on releasing Cobblemon in small groups. Start by selecting five Cobblemon at a time, review them, then release them one by one.
  • After each batch, give yourself a brief break or move to the next batch. This approach prevents fatigue and keeps the process streamlined.

Extra Tip: Make sure to set up multiple “Release-Ready” boxes to make this even faster, so you’re not sorting while releasing.


5. Use Cobblemon Breeding for Selective Releases

When breeding Cobblemon, you can filter out Cobblemon with unwanted traits early in the process, which can cut down on the need for mass releases later. Focus on breeding only the Cobblemon with favorable attributes and quickly releasing those that don’t meet your criteria.

How It Works:

  • As you breed, review each new Cobblemon’s traits and immediately release any that don’t meet your standards.
  • Using selective breeding practices helps maintain box space and reduces the frequency with which you’ll need to go through large releases.

Extra Tip: Keep a record of desired IVs, natures, or abilities for reference as you breed. This can help you make faster decisions about which Cobblemon to keep and which to release.


6. Hold Regular “Cleanup” Sessions

Schedule a weekly or bi-weekly session for box cleanup, during which you can focus solely on releasing Cobblemon and reorganizing your storage. These dedicated sessions make it easier to stay on top of your collection without interrupting regular gameplay.

How It Works:

  • Set a consistent day or time each week for Cobblemon management. During this time, focus on releasing unwanted Cobblemon and organizing your storage.
  • Cleanup sessions also offer a good time to check for any Cobblemon with potential trade value before deciding to release them.

Extra Tip: To make these sessions more enjoyable, consider setting a small reward for each completed session—like exploring a new area or attempting a challenging battle!


7. Advocate for a Mass Release Feature

While waiting for updates, share your feedback with developers through forums, social media, or other channels. The more players express interest in a mass release feature, the higher the chances it might be added in future updates.

How It Works:

  • Provide constructive feedback and specific suggestions, like adding a “select multiple” feature in the release menu.
  • Consider joining community discussions to support the idea of mass release or bulk box management features.

Extra Tip: Focus on explaining how a mass release option would enhance the gameplay experience, helping developers see the value of the feature.


Conclusion

Until a mass release feature becomes available, these strategies can help you manage and release Cobblemon more efficiently. By creating release-ready boxes, optimizing your workflow, and using a selective breeding approach, you’ll keep your boxes organized and clutter-free. Whether you’re a collector, breeder, or battler, streamlining your Cobblemon management will save you time and make gameplay more enjoyable.
