    So I got around to making new mega evolution sprites for some pokemon I thought should get one (Fearow, Snorlax, Meganium, Feraligatr and a few others) and I wanted to change up some typings. I saw how Mega Charizard X's typing was changed in the scripts, and implemented it similarly for the custom ones.
    My question is how can I change the moveset for the new mega-evolved pokemon? Does the moveset change automatically according to the new typing? I use v16.2, so editing the pokemonforms.txt is out of the question.

    Does anyone have any advice and/or suggestions on how to do this?
     
    You just need to go into Pokemon.txt, in your PBS files. You can scroll down to the Pokemon you want, and then find the part that says
    Code:
    Moves=1,TAILWHIP,1,THUNDERSHOCK,5,GROWL,7,PLAYNICE,10,QUICKATTACK,13,ELECTROBALL,18,THUNDERWAVE,21,FEINT,23,DOUBLETEAM,26,SPARK,29,NUZZLE,34,DISCHARGE,37,SLAM,42,THUNDERBOLT,45,AGILITY,50,WILDCHARGE,53,LIGHTSCREEN,58,THUNDER
    the number refers to the level it'll learn, and then followed by the move it learns.
     
    I don't think the movesets of Mega Evolutions are different from their regular form.

    A Pokemon retains the 4 moves it has after Mega Evolving. So if my Charizard knows Flare Blitz, Wing Attack, Strength and Defog then the moves will be the same after Mega Evolving.
