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.
- The existence of the volatile implies that the last move used by the fainted mon is the correct one.
- Just like Destiny Bond, Grudge isn't triggered by future moves, and the volatile should always be removed on BeforeMove.
A series of changes to make sure battles are as balanced as possible.
Made Frodo Ground/Fairy.
Made Samwise Normal/Fairy.
Switched Gandalf and Saruman boosts.
Added Gollum for Mordor, which is pretty much annoying and Fighting-type move absorber.
Changed Swords Dance for Bulk Up on Aragorn to prevent unstoppable sweeps.
Added a SpD boost for Moses to be able to stand to the pharaoh. Also a cool sentence.
Made John Connor faster (slower but in TR) than Terminator T-1000 to give humans an even lead matchup.
Made Blissey on humans have a decent moveset. Including Barrier, yes.
Made specific sets for Hitmontop and Scrafty on humans, being able to take Robot hits.
Made electric attacks on sailors less likely, 66% instead of 100%.
This change makes 1/4 weak Pokémon survive four switch ins and 50% weak Pokémon survive two Switch-ins.
Belly Drum HP still takes precedence (having Charizard in mind kek).
- Groudon no longer has Water Absorb (relevant because of Hebrew
Seismitoad)
- Removed Hebrew LC mons (but not Egyptian ones)
- Limit one Yahweh/Arceus per team
- Removed the rediculous level boost to most Pokemon.
- Tweak EVs for Lucario, Swift Swimmers, and Shell Smashers.
- Removed all LC sailors and fishes, and added some new Pokemon.
- Remove Rain Dance from sailor sets (mostly Swampert)
- Prevent 2 Mega Pokemon on a team for the Sailor Scenario
Make Unburden Hitmonlee Reckless on Terminator battle.
Limit Lucario on megas too.
Improve zam's moveset on that battle as well.
Minimise speed on Terminator battle.
Make Chansey have Eviolite.
Make a more even lead battle of Machamp VS Kyogre.
Machamp is now a Technician Life Orb mon with mixed attack.
Kyogre has now a specific Choice Scarf set.
To not to make Machamp too overwhelming, its level is 75.
This, alongside Life Orb, makes it manageable with Kyogre out.
A trade of hits will end up with either fainted and the other at 10% HP.
Gen 1's defenses were too low, raise them a little.
Change Bolt Strike for Fusion Bolt on sailors, this achieves an almost perfect balance.
Nerf Charizard-Y slightly on Red VS Blue battle. Too strong.
Nerf Hoopa-Unbound's level too, as it's too damn strong.
Added a way to effectively dealing with Smaug on LOTR, adding Bard as a possibility.
Frodo now gets evasion thanks to the one ring, it's invisible after all.
Nerf Groudon slightly on Desert, it is able to sweep an entire team with bad luck on the Pokémon chosen.
Nerf slightly Alakazam on Red vs Blue battle, it can take on a team easily.
Nerf defenses on Gen 1 team so damage is closer to that of Gen 1 (more).
Swampert should not get any boost on sailor team, otherwise it's an insta-win.
Wobbuffet moved from NU to PU
Lopunny moved from RU to OU
Altaria moved from UU to OU
Gallade moved from RU to OU
Mantine moved from PU to NU
Glalie moved from PU to NU
Garbodor moved from BL4 to NU
Slurpuff moved from BL3 to RU
Camerupt moved from PU to NU
Quagsire moved from UU to RU
Mawile moved from UU to RU
Medicham moved from OU to UU (Medichamite is BL)
Sharpedo moved from RU to UU
Pangoro moved from BL3 to RU
- Teambuilder will now display learnsets properly for VGC formats.
- Added missing Pikachu Cosplay and its variants, as well as Pumpkaboo-Super.
- Fix padding for level in moves for CAP 18 and 19.
- Synchronize recent events.
- Secret Power was missing in a lot of mons for some reason.
Improved the set maker to avoid bad sets due to Present.
Made the mountain 500 meters shorter.
Made the chance to hit an obstacle slightly lower.
Added weight to the sleigh that is lowered by throwing Presents and makes you faster.
Eliminate megas from teams.
Make freeze from event make you unable to move that turn.
Freeze thawing was meant to be when hit, not after a turn after all. Fixed comment.
- Red Card and Eject Button do not activate if the holder is being
forced out.
- Circle Throw, Dragon Tail, Roar, and Whirlwind cannot attempt to force
out a Pokemon with no inactive unfainted allies.
Added functionality for setAbility to send End events to abilities.
Fixed bug with Mold Breaker negating all Battle#singleEvent ability calls,
even those that don't involve damage calculation.
Fixed Skill Swap to now use End and Start events in the right order:
send the End events, then change the abilities, then send Start events.
If the same ability is swapped, don't send End events (the game simply
re-activates the abilities in question)
Moved SwitchOut/Faint events from weather to ability so the weather
can interact properly with Cloud Nine or Air Lock.
Primal weathers persist if a Pokemon with the relevant ability is
on-field, even if the originator switches out.
Mega Rayquaza is banned from Ubers.
However, Rayquaza with the move Dragon Ascent is allowed.
It is thus necessary to add a mod rule, Mega Rayquaza Ban Mod,
which flags Rayquaza as not mega evolveable.
There is no need to store whether the team has a mega anymore.
With the general use of pokemon.canMegaEvo and it being set to false for
the whole team after a mega evolution, it is what we need to check to avoid
more than one mega evolution or banned mega evolutions.
- Changed the level of level up moves if they are learnt at an earlier
level in ORAS compared to XY (affects genderless Pokemon in LC mainly)
- Sorted moves alphabetically
- Griseous Orb, Plates, Drives, and Mega Stones can no longer be removed
from or given to their respective species by any means
- Mold Breaker and friends can no longer remove a Plate from an Arceus
- The Fling base power for these related items is now defined in Tools,
like Berries
- Sticky Hold works correctly with Bestow, Fling, Knock Off, Switcheroo,
and Trick
- Pokémon affected by Imprison -or Telepathy in NEXT- will now have a special flag 'maybeDisabled' in move requests if they are the last active pokémon.
- If a Pokémon having this flag attacks, the player will not be able to cancel their decision.
- Refactor Battle#parseChoice: Move decisions will now be parsed based on all the moves a pokémon knows after LockedMove, rather than only on validMoves. Any request to use a disabled move or a move with 0 PP will now be replied with a message in the form |callback|cant|[pokemon]|[sourceEffect]|[move], unless the pokémon has no valid moves, in which case it will use Struggle. The check for lockedMove in choice parsing is now performed as the first action after checking that the pokémon is not fainted. This prevents pokémon from Shifting to the center in Triples while being locked into a move.
- Don't report moves' being disabled to the client in requests if they are disabled due to Imprison or Telepathy. Instead, their being disabled will be reported using the mechanism described above.
There's an improbable chance that a nickname gets a hash collision.
In such a case, the player gets five instead of six Pokémon.
This safeguard prevents that improbable event from happening at all.
Seasonal format is a random battle format that changes its rules monthly.
It often includes limited Pokmon pools, wacky mechanics you'd never encounter in game, and other fun stuff.
- Implement BattlePokemon#isLastActive to do the check for whether this is the last non-fainted active pokémon in a team.
- BattlePokemon#tryTrap now accepts an argument that, if true, will hide the fact that a pokémon is trapped.
- This should revert an small (annoying) change in the UI for locked moves introduced as a secondary effect in 8afc588e4.
- NEXT: Shadow Tag shouldn't activate the 'maybeTrapped' flag after the suspected Shadow Tagger has made a move.
technically Musharna is now BL4, but because there isn't a BL4, I listed it as NU. as far as legality in NU and PU is concerned, this is accurate for the teambuilder and seems to be the best way to handle it.
- Implement BattlePokemon#runEffectiveness, accounting for battle events.
- Refactor Tools#getEffectiveness accordingly.
- Remove Inverse mod. It's now implemented using the global event 'Effectiveness', and with a few changes in the base data for hazards and Arena Trap.
- NEXT: Fix Filter and Solid Rock not accounting for the special effects of Freeze Dry and Flying Press.
