I found a modded Minecraft SMP that is heavily built around a Pokemon theme and competitive play.
It feels like a place where people can train up and battle while still doing normal survival stuff with others.
The server is welcoming to everyone and they want you to follow the rules posted in their Discord.

Cobblemon Champions is a Cobblemon server that is built around competitive balance while still being social and fun. It does not let battles turn into a mess from power creep or wallet wins.
The big thing here is a custom points based system where every Pokemon has a point value. You build teams to fit a seasonal cap and right now Season 3 is live with a 38 point cap so fights stay fair and creative.
There are player run gyms plus an Elite 4 with real rules and real stakes. Gyms rotate by season and progression is meant to feel meaningful.
If you like organized play they run draft leagues and tournaments with weekly battles playoffs and championship events. PvE content like raids bosses monuments and events is made to help you build better teams instead of just AFK farming.
They also keep perks cosmetic and quality of life only so competitive integrity stays the main rule.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
