Dynamax & Max Raid Battles [Essentials v18.1]

[Lucidious89]

I feel that this must be a simple question to resolve, but I don't find the answer. After using Dynamax in battle my pokemon does not return to normal.
I used a new save, made all the changes required and made them in scripts without any changes.
Do you have any idea what mistake I made for this to happen?

If it's a new save and a clean copy of Essentials, then really the only explanation is that you didn't install something properly. Because there's really no other reason for that to happen. Make sure Dynamax is installed beneath ALL OTHER BATTLE SCRIPTS. I have to stress this a lot because for some reason people overlook this a lot. The alias for pbEndOfBattle is where dynamax reversion is handled, so if you have something installed that overwrites pbEndOfBattle, then perhaps that's what's causing issues.

The problem was that Golisopod's Mid Battle Dialogue / Script Battles script uses pbEndOfBattle, because of this this bug was occurring
Thank you very much for the quick help!!! I was freaking out trying to solve this.

I figured it was something like that, glad it was resolved.

Well,I mean when I want to start a MAX RAID battle with a certain pokemon,now I have to add it into database and use pbmaxraid to search for it.
In this way,it ivs,level,ability and so on are decided by the rule.
However,in the game,sometimes we just want to start battle with a certain pokemon.
I want to decide its name,ivs,evs,level,dynamax level and so on,instead of searching a specie and spawn one in database.
So I want to ask if it is possible?

i wonder like sword and shield it is possible to create dynamax adventure or max lair

I still don't feel like I'm really getting what you're asking. What do you mean you have to "add it into the database"?
Pokemon are added to the database automatically if they appear in your Pokemon PBS file, there's nothing you have to physically add to the database to get them to appear. And this has no bearing on the pbMaxRaid script, they both function independently of each other. So I don't get what one has to do with the other.

If you want to start a raid battle against a particular species, you can set up a raid den event with pbMaxRaid to spawn that particular species. Which is how this always worked. This has nothing to do with the Database. The Database battles are purely for quickly testing fights in debug mode without having to set up several dens to test each battle. I feel like you're confusing the two somehow, or more likely I'm just really not understanding your question.

As far as controlling the attributes of a Raid Pokemon, most of these are automatically handled by the raid itself. Level, IV's, and Dynamax Level scale with the star rank of the raid. Which is how raid battles are supposed to work. If you want, however, to manipulate these values for particular species, that's what pbCustomRaidSets is for. In the MaxRaidEvents script near the top, you'll find this section. Here, you can set moves, abilities, held items, natures, etc....basically any attribute of a particular Pokemon species. When you encounter that species in any raid battle, they will have those custom attributes set, which will override any of the normally generated values.

Maybe pbCustomRaidSets is what I seek for.Thanks.

hi guys how do we add gmax to back and shiny sprite

You literally just add _gmax to the end of the file name, same way as the front sprites. There is no difference.

It works exactly how shadow Pokemon sprites work.

Can this script work on 17.2? Plz or make it compatible.

The download link literally has a whole separate folder for the old Essentials 17.2 installation.

That version doesnt have all of the newest updates, however. Nor would I want to update a script for something that is itself outdated.

How to add new G-Max forms:

Spoiler:

1) Add the species to the GMAX_SPECIES array.
2) Under the "Gigantamax Form Data" section, add the species to the MultipleForms.copy species list. If you want to add some kind of unique form name, base stats, etc. to your G-Max form, add those in the MultipleForms.register code.
3) Add the appropriate icons and battler sprites for the species by adding _gmax to the end of the file name.

Note: If you only want specific forms of a species to G-Max, but not its other forms (for example, you only want Origin Forme Giratina to be able to G-Max, but not Altered Forme Giratina), then you have to make note of these specific form restrictions in def hasGmax? and def pbGmaxSpecies? under the "Pokemon Properties" section.

How to add new G-Max moves:

Spoiler:

1) If the move has a set base power, and doesn't scale its power based on the Pokemon's original move (like how G-Max Drum Solo, Fireball, and Hydrosnipe work), then you need to add this new move to the GMAX_SET_POWER array. If not, ignore this step.
2) Add the new move to the list of moves in def pbGetGMaxMoveFromSpecies. Just use the code for the existing moves as an example.
3) In def pbMaxMove, add the new move under the appropriate type section. Just use the code for the existing moves as an example.
4) Add in the code for the effects of the move, if any. This is done the same way as you would with any regular move.
5) Add in the move data for your new move in the move PBS file. Just copy an existing G-Max move and mod it. Make sure you change the function code to suit your desired effects, and change the base power of the move if you want the move to have a set base power. Leave the Accuracy as 0, and makes sure the move has the "x" flag, unless it's a status move like Max Guard.

To make Gym Leaders only G-Max specific Pokemon, use the "TrainerAce" function I outlined in my update post.

Just add

next false if battler.effects[PBEffects::MaxRaidBoss]

to the ability then so that it fails when the user is a raid boss.

 

[pokemonloverforyou]

guys what about ditto it uses transform and becomes mid genger and gengar attack can ,t effect it but psychic becomes super effective. should be easy to fix
i think just amke it so ditto cant trasform into a gmax
edit-by mid gengar it uses trasform and the ui think its a ghost without even using the move cause my
pokemon are faster

There is a problem(not related to (dynamax/max raid battles) in 18.1 Pokemon essentials script like when I search intimidate move using ctrl+shift+f no intimate definition come. That why I m using 17.2 because these are problem. Anyone tell it's solution or why it's happening. But what I do just copy the script.rxdata from 17.2 and paste into 18.1

Sorry i don't see but can you tell me that what are differences between 17.2 Pokemon Essentials MaxRaidBattle/Dynamax Script and 18.1 Pokemon Essentials MaxRaidBattle/Dynamax Script.

Basically everything I mentioned in my v18.1 update post is what the difference is between the 18.1 and 17.2 versions. If you're asking me what specific code was changed, then that would be too difficult to answer. Basically all of the code was changed. The two versions are almost nothing alike.

Huh? I dont get what you mean. If you're looking for Intimidate, you can find it in BattleHandlers_Abilities. The code for almost all abilities can be found there in v18. Intimidate is listed there, just look for

BattleHandlers::AbilityOnSwitchIn.add(:INTIMIDATE
