I found Kioku Region SMP and it is a Cobbleverse server where the goal is to battle and build your progress for real. They say every cobblemon is obtainable and battles actually matter.
They also push a true zero pay to win vibe. You cannot buy cobblemon or competitive stats or any battle advantage. Donations are mostly cosmetics like rank tags colored chat particle effects plus extra claim blocks and some quality of life perks. Ranks can have kits but it is stuff you could grind in about a day.
The server has a community Gym Leader and Elite Four system that is made by real players. People build their own gyms run a type team and defend their title. You can challenge gyms then the Elite Four then the Champion for in game rewards. They also have gameplay roles like Trainer Gym Leader Elite Four and Professor and they are still building it out. They usually have around 10 to 20 players online and a Discord community that is over 50 members and growing.
