Script: Dynamax [DBK Add-On] [v21.1]

[Lucidious89]

Dynamax for v21.1
Fully implements the Dynamax mechanic from Sword & Shield into Essentials!

Overview
This plugin adds the Dynamax mechanic introduced in Pokemon Sword & Shield to your game. All mechanics have been replicated here, including support for unique Gigantamax forms and Eternamax Eternatus. All Max Moves and G-Max Moves are included, as well as items to increase your Pokemon's Dynamax level or to grant them G-Max Factor. This plugin also fully utilizes the Deluxe Battle Kit's mid-battle scripting, allowing you to set up scripted scenarios related to Dynamax.

-DOWNLOAD LINK-

Installation

• First, please install the latest version of the Deluxe Battle Kit. This plugin functions as an add-on to that kit.
• Next, download this plugin using the link provided and extract its contents to your root Essentials folder so that the Audio, Graphics, PBS and Plugins folders in the download merge with their equivalent folders in your project.
• Start your game in debug mode and make sure you recompile by holding down the CTRL key while the game is booting up. If the console says "Game data was not compiled", then you didn't hold down the key long enough, or don't have the game window in focus.
• IMPORTANT: This plugin adds all G-Max forms as numbered forms for their respective species. For example, G-Max Charizard is added as form 3 by this plugin. If you have existing custom forms that overlap with a G-Max form added by this plugin, you may have to renumber these. Remember that you'll also have to renumber all the sprites for these forms, as well as its cry file.

  • Improved the organization of debug menu options.
  • Made various additions in preparation for the Raid Battles add-on plugin.
• 1.0.9

• 1.0.4
  • Fixed a typo that would cause a crash if a Max Move was used that is being converted into a different type by an effect.

After using dynamax, my pokemon can't revert to normal form..

After using dynamax, my pokemon can't revert to normal form..

You probably have some other conflicting plugin, then.

You probably have some other conflicting plugin, then.

I have figured out....
In my case, Dynamax can be turn to normal mode after 3 or more turns in battle by default from plugins...
I have test it in debug mode switch on "Dynamax in Wild Area and All Maps", and I have Pikachu lv. 20 against Rattata lv.5.
After Rattata defeated by one hit Pikachu Dynamax mode and Trainer just have 2 pokemon in their party defeated by two turn, my pikachu can't reverted to normal mode.
if my pikachu just can be reverted after 3 turn dynamax mode.
and from all plugins I have and I'm using, everything fine without causing error to Dynamax plugin, I guess.

Hello, I'm trying to make an event to fight a gmax charizard but when it enters combat it doesn't change its form.

Well first of all, it needs G-Max Factor to Gigantamax. Second of all, you're setting your midbattle script *after* your battle has ended for some reason.

How do I give the g-max factor to the rival pokemon? (it's a wild pokemon)

There's a whole section about editing wild Pokemon in the DBK guide.

Like I said, if a Pokemon isn't returning to normal after Dynamax ends, then you must have some other plugin installed that conflicts with Dynamax. Because Dynamax always reverts properly after 3 turns, at the end of every battle, or when the Dynamax Pokemon faints or switches out.

Makes a sense
Thank you for help
