Adding Meowstic's gender based Move Pool

[GT-Baka]

I didn't see this in Essentials so I wanted to go ahead and post it here.

Moewstic is unique in that is has a different level-up move pool depending on if it is male or female, assuming you have Moewstic already added to your game and it's move set is defined using the males attacks in the PBS/Pokemon.txt file, here is what you do to give the lady her own bit of flare!

In Pokemon_Forms between Furfro and Pumpkaboo (unless your a savage and don't list your Pokemon forms in numeric order) paste this.

MultipleForms.register(:ESPURR,{
"getFormOnCreation"=>proc{|pokemon|
   if pokemon.isFemale?
     pokemon.form=1
   else
     pokemon.form=0
   end
}
})

MultipleForms.copy(:ESPURR,:MEOWSTIC)

This way regardless if the Pokemon is generated as a Meowstic or is evolved from an Espurr the female will always be a different form than the male.
Don't forget to add Meowstic to PBS/PokemonForms.txt

Thank you so much for the scripts! Do I need to add "_1" to the female Meowstic sprites as well? If so, will I have to make doubles of Espurr's sprites and do the same?

No, the sprites default to form 0 if the other forms cannot be found.

Edit: Sorry for the not so informative answer before I didn't have time to give a more detailed answer.

When the game looks for a sprite "123_#" and cannot find it, it will default back to "123". So when the game doesn't find "MeowsticF_1" it will just load "MeowsticF". Same goes for Espurr, you shouldn't need to duplicate your sprites.

We don't need to add a form for Meowstic. Let's make only script for her :D
First, inside 'Pokemon_Forms' (v17.2), add:

Spoiler:

  alias __mf_isCompatibleWithMove? isCompatibleWithMove? # Not purged from below
[B][I][U]  alias __mf_ability ability #
  alias __mf_getMoveList getMoveList #[/U][/I][/B]
  alias __mf_initialize initialize

  def isCompatibleWithMove?(move)
    v=MultipleForms.call("getMoveCompatibility",self)
    if v!=nil
      return v.any? {|j| j==move }
    end
    return self.__mf_isCompatibleWithMove?(move)
  end
[B][I][U]#
  def ability
    v=MultipleForms.call("ability",self)
    return v if v!=nil
    return self.__mf_ability
  end
  
  def getMoveList
    v=MultipleForms.call("getMoveList",self)
    return v if v!=nil
    return self.__mf_getMoveList
  end
#[/U][/I][/B]

Then, add the code for Meowstic below Furfrou's code:

Spoiler:

MultipleForms.register(:MEOWSTIC,{
"ability"=>proc{|pokemon|
  next if pokemon.gender==0
  if pokemon.abilityIndex==2 || (pokemon.abilityflag && pokemon.abilityflag==2)
    next getID(PBAbilities,:COMPETITIVE) 
  end
},

"getMoveList"=>proc{|pokemon|
  next if pokemon.gender==0
  movelist=[]
  case pokemon.gender
  when 1 ; movelist=[[1,:STOREDPOWER],[1,:MEFIRST],[1,:MAGICALLEAF],[1,:SCRATCH],[1,:LEER],[1,:COVET],[1,:CONFUSION],
                    [5,:COVET],[9,:CONFUSION],[13,:LIGHTSCREEN],[17,:PSYBEAM],[19,:FAKEOUT],[22,:DISARMINGVOICE],
                    [25,:PSYSHOCK],[28,:CHARGEBEAM],[31,:SHADOWBALL],[35,:EXTRASENSORY],[40,:PSYCHIC],
                    [45,:SIGNALBEAM],[48,:SUCKERPUNCH],[50,:FUTURESIGHT],[53,:STOREDPOWER],[43,:ROLEPLAY]]
  end
  for i in movelist
    i[1]=getConst(PBMoves,i[1])
  end
  next movelist
}
})

And done. I got that script from v16.0 :D
