    I just realized that the Battle Bond script doesn't change Water Shuriken's base power. Anyway to implement this?

    Since you're using the function '0C0' for Water Shuriken, just replace the code inside 'MoveEffect' script:
    Code: 
    ################################################################################
# Hits 2-5 times.
################################################################################
class PokeBattle_Move_0C0 < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbIsMultiHit
    return true
  end

  def pbBaseDamage(basedmg,attacker,opponent)
        basedmg=20 if isConst?(@id,PBMoves,:WATERSHURIKEN) && 
                      attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:BATTLEBOND) && 
                      isConst?(attacker.species,PBSpecies,:GRENINJA) &&
                      attacker.form==1
      return basedmg
  end
  
  def pbNumHits(attacker)
    hitchances=[2,2,3,3,4,5]
    ret=hitchances[@battle.pbRandom(hitchances.length)]
    ret=5 if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:SKILLLINK)
    ret=3 if isConst?(@id,PBMoves,:WATERSHURIKEN) && 
             attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:BATTLEBOND) && 
             isConst?(attacker.species,PBSpecies,:GRENINJA) &&
             attacker.form==1
    return ret
  end
end

    • Fluffy:
    Inside 'PokeBattle_Move' script, above Metronome's code (inside 'if !attacker.hasMoldBreaker'), paste:
    Code: 
          if opponent.hasWorkingAbility(:FLUFFY) && !attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:LONGREACH)
        if isContactMove? && !isConst?(type,PBTypes,:FIRE)
          finaldamagemult=(finaldamagemult*0.5).round
        elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:FIRE) && !isContactMove?
          finaldamagemult=(finaldamagemult*2.0).round
        end
      end
    end
    if attacker.hasWorkingItem(:METRONOME)

    Disclaimer:: this is on v17.2
    But throat chop seems pretty straight forward, like a combination of imprison and healblock is how I did it (avoided looking into disable because it was referenced too many times lol)

    First thing you need to do is add an effect to PBEffects
    Code: 
    ThroatChop         = 109 # use whatever is the next lowest value for you

    And obviously add a def to Move_effects:
    Code: 
    class PokeBattle_Move_CF15 < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)
    ret=super(attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
    if opponent.damagestate.calcdamage>0 && !opponent.damagestate.substitute &&
        !opponent.isFainted?
      opponent.effects[PBEffects::ThroatChop]=2
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} can't use sound based moves!",opponent.pbThis))
    end
    return ret
  end
end

    Then you just have a few things left to

    first find pbTryUseMove in PokeBattle_battler and add this (I added mine below the imprison code)
    Code: 
    if @effects[PBEffects::ThroatChop]>0 && !pbOpposing1.fainted?
      if thismove.isSoundBased?
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} can't use {2} because they were Throat Chopped!",pbThis,thismove.name))
        PBDebug.log("[Move failed] #{pbThis} can't use #{thismove.name} because they were Throat chopped!")
        return false
      end
    end

    The previous block prevents an already selected move from being used. This next block will prevent them from choosing it: put in PokeBattle_Battle in pbCanChooseMove (again I put it below imprison)

    Code: 
    if thispkmn.effects[PBEffects::ThroatChop]>0 && thismove.isSoundBased?
      if showMessages
        pbDisplayPaused(_INTL("{1} can't use {2} because they are throat chopped!",thispkmn.pbThis,thismove.name))
      end
      return false
    end

    And lastly decrement the value if it's more than 0 in PokeBattle_Battle in pbEndofRoundPhase (this time I put it below Heal bell because it works similar)
    Code: 
    # Throat Chop
    for i in priority
      next if i.fainted?
      if i.effects[PBEffects::ThroatChop]>0
        i.effects[PBEffects::ThroatChop]-=1
        if i.effects[PBEffects::ThroatChop]==0
          pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s can use sound based moves again!",i.pbThis))
          PBDebug.log("[End of effect] #{i.pbThis} is no longer Throat chopped")
        end
      end
    end

    I just tested on an Exploud that knows only sound moves and it prevented an already selected move and also prevented move selection causing it to struggle. If anyone happens to know the real lines pokemon displays when throat chop effects happen please let me know!



    If you could post either/both of those I'd appreciate it. I only started looking into pokemon essentials a few days ago and dancer especially is eluding me.

    This will occur if I ever press the fight button, wont even let me choose moves, just essentially skips them. I put in the script exactly how you described, yet no matter what ive tried so far I cant get it to work. Any idea what I can do to fix this? I hella appreciate the help

    @weezyfish I think you also need to make sure to initialize effects[PBEffects::ThroatChop] to 0. The function to make that change in is called something to do with switching, IIRC it takes "batonpass" as a parameter, and most of the code is setting effects to 0 or false etc.

    @mgriffin I dont mean to come off as frustrating to work with, but im so new to scripting stuff like this I really don't know how to do that. Could you give me an example of how to do that? Sorry for the trouble

    When I made burn up (using soak as a base), it seems to work perfectly for arcanine and typhlosion. However, for moltres, there is a problemas. Judging by the description of the move on serebii.net, it was supposed to remove only the fire type, which means moltres would become pure flying. But using my code it becomes "qmark" just like arcanine and typhlosion. Does your code solves that problem? Thanks for your hardwork.

    I'm not an expert, but I think it is because the script itself changes type 2 too. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I have been looking to properly implement Gear Up into my game, but have been unable to find working scripts. The one provided here targets an ally only, while the move should target all allies, including the user. Bulbapedia's description of the move is: "Gear Up raises the Attack and Special Attack stats of allied Pokémon (including the user) with the Ability Plus or Minus by one stage each." Also, when tested in the actual game, the move works in single battles and targets both the user and partner in double battles. The code here has the same mistake that the other ones for the move I have found have. It only allows use of the move in double battles and doesn't apply to the user.

    I have been trying to edit the code so that it would fix this, but have been unsuccessful so far. Firstly, the target of the move in the PBS files must be changed from targeting only an ally, and the script needs to be edited. Does anyone know how to fix this or have a correct implementation of the move?

    Can anyone give me some tips on what's going on with my game?
    Every move that works like Protect (Spiky Shield, King's Sheild, Baneful Bunker) Isn't working correctly. The opposing Pokemon will use the move, but won't be protected, and any move can go right through it. I've tried to find the problem but it seems I'm out of luck.
    Anyone want to take a crack at it and figure out why this is happening? Any help would be appreciated greatly.

    About until gen 6 moves, download Essentials v17.2. About gen 7 moves (Pollen Puff, Instruct, Revelation Dance, etc) look around this thread because I posted them (IIRC we have all gen 7 moves coded in this thread tho!) here but Instruct will be added correctly in v18.

    Gear Up is posted here, but it doesn't work the same as it does in the actual game. It should raise the stats of the partner and the user if both have plus or minus as an ability. Therefore, it would work on the user providing that the user has the ability and it is a single battle. The code provided here (and everywhere else I found Gear Up scripts) only works on the partner, not user and partner. I was trying to fix this on my own, but I didn't know what to make the target of the move because I don't think there's a target for user and partner, just user's side, but I thought that was for stuff like reflect that doesn't specifically target Pokemon.

    Gear Up is posted here, but it doesn't work the same as it does in the actual game. It should raise the stats of the partner and the user if both have plus or minus as an ability. Therefore, it would work on the user providing that the user has the ability and it is a single battle. The code provided here (and everywhere else I found Gear Up scripts) only works on the partner, not user and partner. I was trying to fix this on my own, but I didn't know what to make the target of the move because I don't think there's a target for user and partner, just user's side, but I thought that was for stuff like reflect that doesn't specifically target Pokemon.

    Here what I have:

    But maybe we need to change '&&' (and) to '||' (or) in this part of code:
    Code: 
     next if !i.hasWorkingAbility(:PLUS) && !i.hasWorkingAbility(:MINUS)

    Should be:
    Code: 
     next if !i.hasWorkingAbility(:PLUS) || !i.hasWorkingAbility(:MINUS)

    That looks like it should be better. I don't think you would change the "&&" to "||" because the latter will always be true unless i has both abilities (if i has the ability Plus, it will render the statement true because the second conditional would be true, but it should be false). On a side note, would we have to change the target in the PBS moves file? Normally it's set to just target the partner, but maybe it will work because you address both the attacker and the partner here?

    EDIT: The move works as intended in battle. Having the user's side as the target works also. I forget if it was always like that or if I changed it before when I was playing around with the move, though.

    • Little update about my Wimp Out/Emergency Exit code (here):

    Change all '[email protected]?(@battle.pbParty(x.index))' to 'battle.pbCanChooseNonActive?(x.index)'. Pay attention because sometimes x can be "target","user" or "pkmn".
