All credits to Chaos Rush as I've pretty much just edited his Gastro Acid (and his post).

Worry Seed:
First insert this string:

(it says, "[the target] acquired Insomnia!")

Next insert this ASM code:

And finally, use this battle script:

Note that your setword command might be different from mine depending on whether you used KDS' or Hidoran's port.

String at A20000 (Sky Attack's)

Code:

FD 0F B4 E7 00 D6 D9 D7 D5 E1 D9 00 D7 E0 E3 D5 DF D9 D8 00 DD E2 00 D5 00 DC D5 E6 E7 DC 00 E0 DD DB DC E8 AB FF

Just a small nitpick:
A string that is more consistent with the official games would be:

Code:

 FD 0F 00 D6 D9 D7 D5 E1 D9 00 FE D7 E0 E3 D5 DF D9 D8 00 DD E2 00 D5 00 DC D5 E6 E7 DC 00 E0 DD DB DC E8 AB FF

I didn't check the other two but I can see that they use FD 0F B4 E7 instead of just FD 0F.

First insert this string:

Spoiler:

(it says, "[the target] transformed into the Water type!")

Next, insert this script:

Spoiler:

Note: In the official gen VI games, if a Pokemon is already pure water, the animation will still play and the move will afterwards say "But it failed!". However, I felt that this was a bit inconsistent with the rest of the game so I decided not to play the animation if the move fails.

If you want it exactly like the official games, feel free to move attackanimation and waitanimation to above the 17 jumpiftype.

Speaking of the 17 jumpiftypes; that was the only way I could get the game to change Pokemon that are part water to pure water while still having the move fail if the Pokemon is already pure water.

Note 2: This script takes into account the fairy-type assuming you have put it as type 17 as per MrDS. tutorial.

I haven't contributed here in awhile (sad I know) but I'm here to bring an updated Struggle, as well as a Head Smash 1/2 recoil effect.

To make Head Smash work just give it the same move effect as Take Down (NOT Double-Edge), as the check for the move is contained in the 1/4 recoil damage effect.

You'll also need to insert the custom sprite for it at slot 13 28 in the attack particles table and change the size (the bytes after the image pointer, before the index) to 00 0A.

Noob here, how did you get that background for the battle scene? It looks very nice. Any link to where/how I can do the same?

DizzyEgg · Jul 28, 2015

Not sure if it is the right place to ask, but. Does anybody knows why the move "trick" doesn't work when used by the opponent in the games? Or why "thief" doesn't actually steals your item? Is it possible to fix that?

That's intentional because the game designers didn't want opponents to actually take your items permanently, and they didn't think to restore the item after the battle. There isn't really any way to fix this (I think) because it was programmed into the Thief/Trick effects.

NOTES
1. The bold section of the code is meant to accommodate the weight changes due to Light Metal, Heavy Metal abilities and the item Float Stone because the Weight is directly loaded from the Dex Data in the ROM (even lowkick does).

2. If your ROM don't have anyone of these things remove the bolded section. Otherwise, replace XX with the index of Light Metal, replace YY with the index of Heavy Metal, and replace ZZZZ with the index of Float Stone.

3. If you have expanded the no of pokemons then the value of dexData also needs to be changed to the new location.

4. If someone wants to port it to Emerald, in addition to changing the value of offsets also change the mov r2, #0x24 to mov r2, #0x20 after the ldr r1, dexData, this because in every GBA Rom except Emerald the dex entry for each poke takes 36 bytes, whereas in Emerald it takes 32 bytes.

I have a problem with this routine, it always sets the move power to 120 no matter the weight. I removed all bolded lines and changed the value of dexData.

There is some bug in this routine. The emerald one is accurate. Port the emerald one back to FR.

Spoiler:

You made a typo there. Instead of userBank(...6B) you gave the offset for targetbank(...6C). And that means this move will always deal damage equal to target's current HP.
