	If you are very familiar with poser files, you can reference the kotlin model files found on the [https://gitlab.com/cable-mc/cobblemon/-/tree/main/common/src/main/kotlin/com/cobblemon/mod/common/client/render/models/blockbench/pokemon Gitlab].

	The reason you change the "order" value from 0 to 1 is to let this data load after the main mods data. This should let it overwrite so your clone model will be the one to appear in game.

This should let it overwrite so your clone model will be the one to appear in game. If the regular official model referenced a poser file, the resource pack would fail to load.

	The <code>poser</code> data should have already been written in the resolver despite the official models not being able to use a poser JSON. If it is not, then be sure to include a string for "poser" above the line for "model" and assign the poser you made.

Due to the unique way the official Pokémon are coded, you can’t simply apply animations to them using a poser file. Instead, you can create a '''clone''' of the official model and use this clone to replace the official one. Knowledge of animation and creating custom Pokémon is highly recommended.
