[Scripting Question] Adding a custom form to vulpix, it doesn't show in the pokedex

PokeBattle_Battler

Code:

# Vulpix
    if isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:VULPIX)
      if self.level>= 5
        self.form=0
      else
        self.form=1
      end
    end

Pokemon_MultipleForms

Code:

MultipleForms.register(:VULPIX,{
"onSetForm"=>proc{|pokemon,form|
   pbSeenForm(pokemon)
},
"getFormOnCreation"=>proc{|pokemon|
   if pokemon.level>=5
     next 0
   else
     next 1
   end
}
})

Additionally not only does this new form not appear in the pokedex when given to the player, the pokedex also shows Male and Female for Vulpix despite there being no differences between the male and female Vulpix.

I couldn't figure it out either but what you have to do is go into your pokemon.txt scroll to Vulplix then go to "Pokedex=It can freely control fire.......blah blah blah" create a new section under it and add whats in blue FormNames=,Alolan What this is saying is that the first forms which is FormNames=,Alolan is male and female because it's blank but the second part FormNames=,Alolan is saying that the next forms are Alolan male and female. Thats how you get it to show in the Pokedex.

Actually waht i added wasnt an Alolan form (then the if pokemon.level thing wouldn't make sence) what i did was i added the baby 1 tail version

Just change Alolan to something else that works for all forms the Alolan part just defines the name of the new form.

A Pokémon form only appears in the Pokédex if it's listed in the FormNames property of that species in pokemon.txt. Just to clarify.
