- 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
Pickup was not retrieving items consumed by allies, was picking up items
from nonadjacent foes, and had a chance of failing to retrieve an item
from a foe if the other one had not used its item that turn. Pickup now
queries all eligible Pokemon before randomly choosing one of the items to
pick up, instead of choosing the target before checking whether it had an
item that could be retrieved.
Switched Unburden's onUseItem handler to onAfterUseItem instead, and set
Natural Gift, Air Balloon and Fling to send AfterUseItem events when the
items are removed. Sending these events also has the side effect of fixing
some of the functionality with Symbiosis not giving items when these moves
consume their items.
Change Mail's onTakeItem handler to allow Knock Off to remove it using
Battle#takeItem. This prevents Mail from being recycled and lets it
trigger Unburden.
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.
Fixed Lock On to allow multiple Pokemon to target the same Pokemon, and
causing it to fail if a Pokemon already has a Lock On active.
Fixed Lock On and Telekinesis to work properly with multi-hit moves and
target redirection.
- 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)
Drifblim almost never runs it. And even in formats that allow any
ability, it isn't even used half as much as Guts. Lack of a Special
Facade is probably why.
- 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
Moved all checks for primal weather into setWeather() instead of
hard-coding the check into every effect attempting to change the weather.
Also to prevent hardcoding, the check now runs on the event system, and
the primal weathers themselves deny regular weathers from being set.
- 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
Moved Anger Point's check for critical from onCritical to onAfterDamage.
This not only allows it to avoid being suppressed by Mold Breaker, it
also results in the Anger Point message being displayed in the correct
order with respect to the other messages.
Mechanics Changes:
- Fire Rocket does less damage, cannot crit.
- Fire Rocket is no longer a bullet move (for Chesnaught)
- Only Li Shang can Train Recruits.
- Recruits start with lowered defenses as well.
- Edit Mushu's movepool.
Flavor Changes:
- Train Recruits now uses Bulk Up's animation.
- Fire Rocket now uses Eruption's animation. Backfires cause the animation
to strike the user instead!
- Use Searing Shot as Fire Rocket instead of Octazooka.
Unaware currently doesn't work because the ModifyMove event is fired on the move before each target is caculated in doubles and triples.
This means that the ModifyMove event should be fired for each target and the move not modified unless it fits the attacker-target.
It's easier and less expensive to use an ability property to check on attacker/target than to fire events.
This fixes Unaware in doubles/triples.
It takes account interaction with Mold Breaker, Gastro Acid, and other ability supressers.
Seasonal is based on Mulan, in honor of Chinese New Year.
General Shang must defeat the Huns, but his new recruits are weak! Over
time, however, they will get stronger over time by training (just like the
movie, they train during I'll Make A Man Out Of You.) Singing will also
make them train faster.
The Han Chinese also have powerful rockets at their disposal (select
Octazooka in battle). However, the rockets sometimes backfire on new
recruits, but as they train the chance of backfire goes down.
Most moveset changes were based on usage stats for the Pokemon, adding
most of the commonly-used moves and removing some un-used moves.
Ultimately, all changes were just based on holistic judgment.
Added a counter that tracks Normal damaging moves for purposes of -ate
Abilities, in case it becomes important later. This counter also
future-proofs Aurorus in case it receives other viable Normal attacks
later.
- Remove Return, Feint, Quick Attack from regular Pinsir.
- Remove Feint from Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee.
- Add Fire Punch to Hitmonchan.
- Replace Stone Edge with Rock Slide in Doubles
- Rename randbats helper function `canMegaEvo` to `hasMegaEvo`.
- Move duplicate mega evolution possibility checks from `runMegaEvo` and BattlePokemon constructor to `canMegaEvo` battle script.
Stone Edge somehow was a case three times in the switch statement, meaning
only the first one would have been checked. This fix merges the three
checks into one.
If a Pokemon has a move that boosts speed (Rock Polish/Agility), reject
all modified-priority moves.
If a Pokemon has 4 Physical or 4 Special moves, reject Choice Scarf if the
Pokemon has a priority move.
- Mega Steelix gets Heavy Slam instead of Gyro Ball
- Electrode gets Discharge for Doubles
- Girafarig gets Nasty Plot to replace Calm Mind
- Shiftry gets Leaf Blade to replace Seed Bomb
- Cacturne gets Spiky Shield to replace Protect in Doubles
- Castform gets Hurricane
- Buneary and Lopunny get High Jump Kick to match Mega Lopunny
- Maractus gets Spiky Shield (singles set had it but not doubles)
- Delphox line gets Dazzling Gleam. Remove Psychic from the set
- Malamar's doubles set updated for Knock Off
- Aurorus gets Hyper Voice and loses Nature Power in Doubles
- Pumpkaboo has Synthesis
- Pangoro gets Gunk Shot and Ice Punch over Poison Jab and Stone Edge
Breloom is the only Pokemon that gets both and will get the better
ability with only one of them. Basically, no more Poison Heal Mach Punch
and no more Technician Focus Punch.
- Serene Grace is automatically rejected for Chansey and Blissey, who
prefer Natural Cure.
- Serene Grace works best with secondaries that have a high chance of
activating, so a seperate counter is used to check those specifically.
- Sheer Force doesn't need a secondaries chance check; both branches of
the check would have allowed Sheer Force to be used.
- Add Eviolite for NFEs
- Removed old and mostly unused custom levels
- Updated some Pokemon levels
- Removed all NFE Pokemon from Random Battle except for Chansey,
Doublade, Pikachu, Porygon2, and Scyther
- Acrobatics Pokemon have Flying Gem.
- Hawlucha no longer has Sky Attack in its random battle movepool, so we
remove references to that in the code.
- Double Random Battles only check for Fake Out on Unburden Pokemon (and
formerly Sky Attack on Hawlucha, which is removed, so there is no need
to cycle through all of their moves.
Fixed ability interactions with Hidden Power, Judgment, and other moves
that change their types.
-ate Abilities don't trigger with Natural Gift.
Normalize > move's type change > -ate Ability > Ion Deluge/Electrify
For Gen 4, the order is: move's type change > Normalize
Thought this was fixed a long time ago:
2014-01-12
15:16:23: <Marty> V4, if Fur Coat halves Psyshock damage, it must be
Huge Power for Defense, yes?
15:17:13: <V4> Ya
15:17:32: <Marty> cool
2014-01-19
17:31:20: <CDXCIV> Marty did you ever try that thing with Fur Coat?
17:32:24: <Marty> the Psyshock thing? yeah I tried it before asking you
17:32:46: <Marty> it's double Defense
For shame, V4 :(
Sky Drop needs to occur before Stance Change and just about every other
ability, move, status, or volatile effect. Since Stance Change was
recently upgraded to BeforeMovePriority of 11, Sky Drop needs to be moved
up to 12.
