Previous code had an Aegislash complex banned from Steel teams hard-coded into Same Type Clause. This hasn't been part of Monotype for half a year and was conflicting with attempts to use "/tour banlist !aegislash" to allow Aegislash in Monotype battles.
Steel Wing, Metal Claw, and Meteor Mash no longer count as boosting
moves. (This makes them consistent with Silver Wind etc, which also
don't count as boosting moves.)
Previous check was requiring Latias-Mega to have 3 perfect IVs because
Latias-Mega is a gen 6 pokemon even though Latias itself isn't.
This also gives clearer error messages in the remaining situations.
PS has a tradition of supporting future-gen items/moves/etc in past gens,
so why not the other way around? Obviously, these items are banned
outside of Custom Game.
This mainly helps make the teambuilder less confusing to gen 2 players.
Fixes#1342. The one in rulesets is the general check, and the one in
team-validator is the event check. I don’t think we can combine it into
a single check; duplication is needed.
- Introduces `battleOnly` to Pokémon formats-data to flag which formes are forbidden on battle start.
- Adds back Secret Sword as Keldeo-Resolute's required move.
- Introduces `requiredAbility` to handle Darmanitan-Zen.
- Introduces `forcedForme` to items' data to flag the formes that some items enforce.
E.g., to enforce players to bring teams with 4-6 Pokémon to Team Preview,
and make them choose 2 of them there to battle with:
```
teamLength: {
validate: [4, 6],
battle: 2
}
```
The full description is in the comments of the Endless Battle
Clause entry in rulesets.js.
This update fixes a lot of the issues with yesterday's version.
Also included: A minor refactor of deductPP, which did not need
a success variable.
The new Endless Battle Clause attempts to ban endless battles by
detecting situations in which a battle could become endless.
This approach bans endless battles without banning Leppacycling.
The exact formulation is:
A Pokémon is considered cornered if:
- it has no available moves other than Struggle
- OR a stale Pokémon used Assist Whirlwind on it
- OR it has been hit by a Struggle from a stale Pokémon on the turn
it switched in
(at the beginning of a turn, if you have available moves other than
Struggle, you are no longer cornered)
A Pokémon is considered stale if:
- it has gained a Leppa berry through any means besides starting
with one (including but not limited to Harvest, Recycle, Pickup,
Symbiosis, Bestow, Thief, Switcheroo, and Magician)
- OR it has been targeted with Fling Leppa Berry
- OR it is cornered and begins a turn with more HP than it the last
turn it began
- OR it is cornered and begins a turn with as much HP as the last
turn it began, and was not fully paralyzed, loafing around from
Truant, or immobilized from Attract
- OR it uses Transform/Imposter against a stale Pokémon
(a Pokémon that becomes stale stays stale for the rest of the match)
If all active Pokémon are stale, the player whose team originally
started with a Leppa Berry loses. If both or neither team started
with a Leppa Berry, the team that had the first stale Pokémon wins.
