    • Hello! I was hoping that someone could help me with a question I have, that question being "How do I make a move that changes the user's form during the battle after being used, such as Relic Song but without the reverting once using it again and changing back after battle." Any help would be appreciated!

    I'm not sure how to stop the form reversion, but the actual changing form part is quite easy:
    Here's the move effect (Note: This assumes effect ID 159 isn't used)
    Code: 
    class PokeBattle_Move_159 < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbEffectAfterHit(attacker,opponent,turneffects)
    if isConst?(@id,PBMoves,:MOVENAME)
      if !attacker.effects[PBEffects::Transform] &&
         !(attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:SHEERFORCE) && self.addlEffect>0) &&
         !attacker.isFainted?
        attacker.form=1
        attacker.pbUpdate(true)
        @battle.scene.pbChangePokemon(attacker,attacker.pokemon)
        @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} transformed!",attacker.pbThis))
        PBDebug.log("[Form changed] #{attacker.pbThis} changed to form #{attacker.form}")
      end
    end
  end
end
    Replace MOVENAME with the internal name of the move. You could make the effect apply to only one pokemon by adding this line to the first if statement.
    Code: 
    && isConst?(attacker.species,PBSpecies,:SPECIES)
    Replace SPECIES with the internal name of the pokemon you want it to apply to.

    • Thanks, pokeawesomesause! I just defined the form as a Mega Evolution for it to revert after battle, so everything works!
