    anytime I enter in a battle and try to use Celesteela it says ERROR theres no back-sprite for this pokemon
    and I cant seem to mega evolve ever since I set up the elite battle system. Other then that everything else appears to work except those two issues I am having

    I have all the pokemon defined in the pokemon.txt as well as the mega evolution being all set up and I have all the sprites for front, back, shiny front, and shiny back so I'm not sure why I'm getting that error message

  • Make sure you have the backsprite of Casteela in the Battlers/Back Folder, since EBS uses a different sorting-system.

    For you mega Pok?mon problem: Do you have the mega-ring as item in your bag? Make also sure, that your pok?mon is holding a mega stone and has a valid mega evolution.

    Also, which version of Essentials and EBS are you using?

    My post may sound stupid, but things like "is being all set up" do say nothing.

  • for back sprite, You must name back sprite image according to Pokedex Number
    Example: Rowlet Pokedex number is 733.So you must name it 733, not 733_b

    If you're using the Elite Battle System (which you are), you will have four folders of importance in your Graphics/Battlers folder: Front, Back, FrontShiny, and BackShiny. Images in these folders must only contain numbers and underscores if it's an alternate form. Here are a few examples:
    A back sprite for Bulbasaur: 001 in Graphics/Battlers/Back
    A shiny back sprite for Minior form 2: 774_2 in Graphics/Battlers/BackShiny

    If you are not using EBS (This doesn't apply to you), it will all be in one folder. You use 'b', 's' or 'sb' after the number and before a potential alternate form. Here are a few examples:
    A back sprite for Bulbasaur: 001b in Graphics/Battlers
    A shiny back sprite for Minior form 2: 774sb_2 in Graphics/Battlers
    Note that front sprites in the default battle system do not require a character or underscore. 001 would be Bulbasaur's front sprite.

    thank you for your help I didnt notice that the back sprites had a b attached to it

    now my only remaining issue is mega evolution. I have the mega stone and ring defined and when I go into a battle the Z icon does appear but when I click it the pokemons sprite does not change and I do have their sprites and its only in number format

  • When you press the button, the Pok?mon will not evolve immediately. You have to choose a move after that and than it will evolve. If the sprite still doesn't show up, make sure that the file has a "_1" attached to its name.

    thank you for your help

    I got the mega evolution to work but now the issue is that even after the battle has ended the pokemon still stays in its mega evolved state

    how do I have it revert back to its original form after the battle has ended?
