Alternate Forms

[mej71]

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how/what can make a pokemon change its form for good. i.e. I'm trying to incorporate a crystal Onix into my game, but as an alternate form instead of a new pokemon. I added his the coding for his alternate form, but I don't really understand how to make him become that form (or start as that form, since it will be an event encounter). I read the wiki and everything, I just am a little confused.

so you make the alternate form of the onix and get it all squared away, I assume it will be it's first and only other form

if it is it's only other form then use this, if not change the red to coincide properly

p=PokeBattle_Pokemon.new(PBSpecies::ONIX,[COLOR="Lime"]5[/COLOR],$Trainer)
p.form=[COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR]
Kernel.pbAddPokemon(p)

red = the correct form
green = the level you want it to be at

I meant that I want to battle the onix, not just give it to the player. Sorry, wasn't clear about that. Also, I would like for it to evolve into a crystal steelix, do I have to add anything for that?

Have a look at the event Mew encounter in the example maps. Mew is forced to be shiny and a fateful encounter. Do something similar to that, but with making the Pokémon's form 1 instead.

So long as the Crystal Steelix is also form 1 of Steelix, then there's nothing to worry about with evolution.

How would one make it so the alternate forme has a different moveset, but nothing else changed?

Take a look at how Maruno has different movesets for different formes already (Rotom, Deoxys, Kyurem). That will be the only section you'll need.
