This Seasonal is a joined effort of the whole staff team.
It contains over 100 custom sets and moves, allowing users to play the whole month and still find new things.
For format editing purposes, let it be noted that the Seasonal starts on line 348 and ends on line 3211 on formats.js as of this commit.
While I'm making the final commit to the master repository, let it be noted that this huge code is a joined effort of some members of the staff.
Special thanks to people who have worked on this code, without whose contributions this Seasonal couldn't have been finished for this month:
@ascriptmaster @cadaeic @Slayer95 @TheImmortal @xfix

- Removed it from Pokemon that are too weak to use it.
- Reject Feint with Fake Out (for Persian).
- Update move checking to not count single hit moves with 30 base power as
damaging moves.
Added a new variable hasAbility that keeps track of all available
abilities on a Pokemon, reducing the verbosity of ability checks
within the move rejection stage of the algorithm.
Also, change the Solarbeam check to look for Drought directly.
- Previously, a Pokemon unable to execute Pursuit against a slower
target would attempt to execute Pursuit again should its target switch
out with U-turn, Volt Switch, or Parting Shot, which would run two sleep
checks, freeze checks, etc.
- Accept Baton Pass with Wish, speed setup, Pokemon with Speed Boost.
- Removed Baton Pass from Glaceon in favor if Wish and Protect.
- Removed Agility from Emolga since it doesn't need it; added Encore.
- Try to improve Spiritomb by giving it Calm Mind as an option
- Prevent Shadow Sneak with RestTalk
- Prevent Storm Throw with Circle Throw in some cases
- Reject Rest if the Pokemon does not have Sleep Talk but has it in its
move pool (Pokemon with RestTalk are designed to use both and not just
Rest)
- Combine setup checks and allow a single attack with setup only if the
Pokemon has RestTalk
Just like the recent change to make Protean count all moves as STAB, do
the same with -ate abilities and Normal moves.
Manually include Nature Power as a damaging move since it becomes Tri
Attack. Its placement lets it automatically increment the -ate counter as
well.
- Do not count Fake Out as STAB because it can only be used once per
switch-in
- Protean means the Pokemon always has STAB and shouldn't get any move
removed in post-processing
- Prevent too many Dark-type moves
It currently gets Leftovers if it has Stealth Rock, and has a chance of
getting Expert Belt as well, but it should never get any other item. It
is a special case because there isn't a glass cannon as extreme as this.
It is not acceptable as the only STAB move because it is a 40 base power
Normal-type attack... No Normal-type Technician gets it either, unlike
other priority moves.
It's used on defensive Pokemon that shouldn't get Life Orb, Choice or
Expert Belt. Also removed checks that where added because of the old
Weakness Policy selection.
The previous one doesn't apply to Dragonite or Lugia. This prevents
Focus Sash Lugia if it is your first Pokemon.
Also moved the low priority Black Sludge selection above Leftovers for
the case of Poison/Flying Pokemon.
- Reject Trick/Switcheroo with Acrobatics so that the Pokemon can properly
receive Flying Gem
- Reject Rapid Spin with setup
- Do not reject Knock Off with setup
Mostly Gen 1-2 Pokemon were changed.
Added Moonblast where the usage stats were indicating that it was as
commonly used than Dazzling Gleam in Doubles. Reject Moonblast with
Dazzling Gleam.
Reject Return with Double Hit (for Ambipom).
Reject Power Split with Guard Split (for Shuckle).
Reject Acid Spray with Sludge Bomb (for Tentacruel).
Pokemon with Focus Energy have Scope Lens.
Aeroblast is now considered STAB.
- Reject Body Slam instead of Glare (so Dunsparce has a higher chance of
getting Glare + Headbutt rather than Body Slam + Headbutt)
- Reject Substitute with Taunt
- Update moves that are unacceptable as the only attacking move
- STAB is required for almost every mono-attacking case, exception is
that Fairy is allowed for Psychic types and Ice is allowed for certain
Normal types
- Always give Sylveon Hyper Voice
The current variables in place to check for STAB do not work as intended.
If a Pokemon has two STAB moves of the same type, and one of them is set
as a move that shouldn't be counted as STAB, the Pokemon will be counted
as not having STAB. Since nothing in the code checks for Pokemon having
STAB of a specific type, it is refactored to be a boolean instead.
In order to avoid a situation where a move like Infestation sets the STAB
variable to true when it doesn't count as a damaging move, these kinds of
moves no longer increment counters for abilities that boost damage, like
Adaptability.
- Force Super Luck on Unfezant (it has a 33% chance of getting Big Pecks)
- Force Scope Lens on Unfezants with enough attacking moves
- Give Unfezant Night Slash
- Replace Wish with Roost in Doubles
- Reject Water Spout and Eruption with setup or RestTalk
- Allow Origin Pulse with RestTalk
- Give Extremespeed users and Sucker Punch users without STAB Life Orb
instead of Expert Belt
- Prevent Life Orb with Dragon Tail
- Low priority: give Leftovers to Pokemon weak to Stealth Rock
Super Luck + Scope Lens gives a 50% chance of crit, but isn't a very high
priority since a consistent damage boost from a Choice item can be a
better pick.
- Lumineon and Poliwrath have Storm Drain and Water Absorb respectively,
which is always chosen over Swift Swim, so Rain Dance is unneccessary.
- Give Pokemon with Unburden a Focus Sash
- Give Unburden mons with stat-lowering moves a White Herb (specifically
targets Sceptile)
- Added speedsetup counter
- Improve Weakness Policy selection (might give it to more than just
speedsetup later on but this is much better than the previous
implementation that gave it to very bad sets)
- Added Lustrous Orb as a low priority option for Palkia
- Slightly increased defensive requirement of Assault Vest
- 30% more op/s for randomTeam, randomDoublesTeam and randomCCTeam
- 300% more op/s for randomHackmonsCCTeam
- Implement helper method `sampleNoReplace`: takes an array parameter, removes a random element and returns it.
- Random team makers now follow the game RNG. Therefore, it's now possible to reconstruct the teambuilding process for bad sets, given that the starting seed is known.
Went through all fully-evolved Pokemon and updated their moves. Also
removed illegal moves on several Pokemon...
- Added Superpower to SetupException
- Reject Water Pulse with Scald
- Reject Acrobatics with Hurricane
- Prevent Focus Blast and Superpower together
- Reject Physical moves with Acid Spray (only affects Eelektross)
- Do not reject Baton Pass with Protect
- Reject Healing Wish with setup
- Reject Hydro Pump with RestTalk
- Prevent Precipice Blades with Earthquake
- In accepting Shadow Ball + HP Fighting, ensure that it's HP Fighting
(relevant for Reuniclus, Chandelure, and Sylveon, which have Hidden
Power that aren't Fighting)
- If Hidden Power changes the IVs but is later removed by another
processing cycle, reset the IVs to 31 all
- Removed old check for "bulky" Pokemon as it would give Leftovers to
Pokemon that would prefer Life Orb or even Assault Vest. For example,
Kyurem-White and Goodra, respectively.
- If the Pokemon has three attacking moves, give Life Orb to those with
either setup or a recovery move, and give Leftovers to everything else.
- Give Keldeo HP Flying instead of HP Ghost
- Reject Hidden Power if the Pokemon has a special setup move and only
one other special attack
- Dark/Fighting is resisted by Fairy this generation and isn't a
"perfect" combination anymore
- Remove Feint from Pikachu/Raichu
- Replace Rock Blast with Rock Slide on Golem line
- Add Surf to Octillery
- Reject Strong Jaw without bite moves
- Update Iron Fist check to use the punch flag
- Give preference to Rock Slide over Head Smash
- Give preference to Discharge over Thunderbolt and Electroweb
- Modify Tyrantrum's moves
- Add bite moves counter for Strong Jaw
- Use punch flag for ironfist counter
- Give preference to Stone Edge over Head Smash
