Gen 7 Ability Thread

Pardon me for asking but is the Shields Down ability code was meant to only show 1 of the 7 forms? I put 7 different colours of cores of Minior in the game but it always triggers the 7th colour which is yellow, is the coding always makes it fixed at seventh form? If so, how could I randomize it?

The inner core of Minior is always the same for the same Minior. If you use different Minior, there's a chance they'll have different colors, unless you breed - because like Burmy and Gastrodon, Minior's colors are inherited from the parents.

Luka S.J. was teaching me for instances like this and with double battling two different formed zygarde and both pokemon retaining this form when they both revert back from 100% after battle. Same goes for Minior. Let me hook something up and if it works then I'l give it to you

Does anybody know if Fluffy halves the damage of contact moves used by a Pokémon with Long Reach? There's no info either way.

 

[Rot8er_ConeX]

Does anybody know if Fluffy halves the damage of contact moves used by a Pokémon with Long Reach? There's no info either way.

Considering the damage halving is a negative side effect of a contact move, and Long Reach negates abilities such as Rough Skin/Iron Barbs, Flame Body, Poison Point, etc. I'm going to assume that yes, it does, until we have concrete proof.

Can somebody post Steelworker / help me on how to implement Steelworker? I'm actually trying to make an ability similar to Steelworker... Maybe I should start around the code of Blaze / Torrent / Overgrow / Swarm?

i sort of did Steelworker myself but I didn't tested it yet, i just based on codes of Refrigerate / Pixilate:

if isConst?(type,PBTypes,:STEEL) &&
isConst?(attacker.ability,PBAbilities,:STEELWORKER)
damagemult=(damagemult*1.5).round
end

*didn't test it yet so i don't know if this works... just paste it under the Refrigerate codings in PokeBattle_Move

 

[Rot8er_ConeX]

just paste it under the Refrigerate codings in PokeBattle_Move

That's basically what I did, but I put mine next to the code for STAB, since that's what Steelworker is supposed to do - give Dhelmise Steel-type STAB even though he's not a Steel type.

Triage looks pretty easy to add.
In PokeBattle_Battler, inside pbSuccessCheck, below this line:

p=thismove.priority

add this:

p+=3 if user.hasWorkingAbility(:TRIAGE) && thismove.pbIsHealingMove?

the 'IsHealingMove' is already a thing? Good, I thought we'd have to define it ourselves. (I guess that must have been already implemented for the sake of items like Big Root or something...)
Thanks!

Hey! I was working on implementing Liquid voice, and I thought I might as well share it with you guys to see if it works:

    if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:LIQUIDVOICE) && thismove.hasFlags?(k)
      type=getConst(PBTypes,:WATER) || 11
    end

This goes below Normalize, by the way. Also, would anybody know how to implement Dancer?

Schooling:

Put under Zen Mode in PokeBattle_Battler:

if isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:WISHIWASHI)
      if self.hasWorkingAbility(:SCHOOLING) && @hp<=((@totalhp/4).floor)
        if self.form!=0
          self.form=0; transformed=true
        end
      else
        if self.form!=1 && @level >=20
          self.form=1; transformed=true
        end
      end
    end

And update the pbResetForm section underneath with Wishiwashi:

def pbResetForm
    if !@effects[PBEffects::Transform]
      if isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:CASTFORM) ||
         isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:CHERRIM) ||
         isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:DARMANITAN) ||
         isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:MELOETTA) ||
         isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:AEGISLASH) ||
         isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:XERNEAS) ||
         [COLOR="Red"]isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:WISHIWASHI)[/COLOR]
        self.form=0
      end
    end
    pbUpdate(true)
  end

At the end of Pokemon_MultipleForms:

MultipleForms.register(:WISHIWASHI,{ #Wishiwashi Forms
"height"=>proc{|pokemon|
   next if pokemon.form==0 # Solo Form
   next 82                 # School Form

"weight"=>proc{|pokemon|
   next if pokemon.form==0 # Solo Form
   next 786                # School Form

   next if pokemon.form==0       # Solo Form
   next [45,140,130,140,135,30]  # School Form
}
})

Schooling also cannot be transferred with Skill Swap, copied by Trace or Role Play, changed by Worry Seed or Entrainment, or suppressed with Gastro Acid. Search for those and add Schooling to the list of unaffected abilities.

I guess I was too late with mine. Anyways, for the baseStats, speed is the 4th slot, you put it last. Look at some already existing ones, look them up and you'll see.

Can someone test this and tell me whether it's working as it should or not?

Beast Boost. I have no idea how to check for which stat is the highest, so I just took their highest base stats. Berserk right underneath.
PokeBattle_Battler under Moxie:

    # Moxie
    if user.hasWorkingAbility(:MOXIE) && target.isFainted?
      if user.pbIncreaseStatWithCause(PBStats::ATTACK,1,user,PBAbilities.getName(user.ability))
        PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{user.pbThis}'s Moxie")
      end
    end
[COLOR="Red"]    # Beast Boost
    if user.hasWorkingAbility(:BEASTBOOST) && target.isFainted? && !user.isFainted?
      if isConst?(user.species,PBSpecies,:BUZZWOLE) || isConst?(user.species,PBSpecies,:KARTANA) ||
         isConst?(user.species,PBSpecies,:GUZZLORD)
        if user.pbIncreaseStatWithCause(PBStats::ATTACK,1,user,PBAbilities.getName(user.ability))
        end
      end
      if isConst?(user.species,PBSpecies,:PHEROMOSA)
        if user.pbIncreaseStatWithCause(PBStats::SPEED,1,user,PBAbilities.getName(user.ability))
        end
      end
      if isConst?(user.species,PBSpecies,:XURKITREE) ||

        if user.pbIncreaseStatWithCause(PBStats::SPDEF,1,user,PBAbilities.getName(user.ability))
        end
      end
    end
    # Berserk
    if user.hasWorkingAbility(:BERSERK) && target.hp<=(user.totalhp/2).floor
      if user.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::SPATK,user)
        user.pbIncreaseStatWithCause(PBStats::SPATK,1,user,PBAbilities.getName(user.ability))

Next up we have Innards Out. Put this underneath Aftermath in PokeBattle_Battler:

        if target.hasWorkingAbility(:AFTERMATH,true) && target.isFainted? &&
           !user.isFainted?
          if [email protected](:DAMP) &&
             !user.hasMoldBreaker && !user.hasWorkingAbility(:MAGICGUARD)
            PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{target.pbThis}'s Aftermath")
            @battle.scene.pbDamageAnimation(user,0)
            user.pbReduceHP((user.totalhp/4).floor)
            @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} was caught in the aftermath!",user.pbThis))
          end
        end
[COLOR="Red"]        if target.hasWorkingAbility(:INNARDSOUT,true) && target.isFainted? &&
           !user.isFainted?
            PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{target.pbThis}'s Innards Out")
            @battle.scene.pbDamageAnimation(user,0)
            user.pbReduceHP(target.lastHPLost)
            @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} was hurt by {2}'s {3}!",user.pbThis,
               target.pbThis,PBAbilities.getName(target.ability)))
        end[/COLOR]

I originally had Shields Down in here, but I got new errors out of the blue.

Please let me know if they're working fine since these are some of my first abilities.

Beast Boost takes IVs/EVs into account when deciding which stat to raise. So taking Pheromosa for example, if she has perfect 31 IV in Attack, but 0 in Speed, her Attack stat will be higher than her Speed, and the Attack will get boosted instead.
Here's my code. There's probably a better way to optimize it but from my tests, it seems to be working properly.

if self.hasWorkingAbility(:BEASTBOOST) && target.isFainted?
      if user.attack >= user.defense &&
         user.attack >= user.spatk &&
         user.attack >= user.spdef &&
         user.attack >= user.speed
         if pbIncreaseStatWithCause(PBStats::ATTACK,1,self,PBAbilities.getName(ability))
          PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{pbThis}'s Beast Boost (raising Attack)")
        end
      elsif user.defense >= user.spatk &&
         user.defense >= user.spdef &&
         user.defense >= user.speed
         if pbIncreaseStatWithCause(PBStats::DEFENSE,1,self,PBAbilities.getName(ability))
          PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{pbThis}'s Beast Boost (raising Defense)")
        end
      elsif user.spatk >= user.spdef &&
         user.spatk >= user.speed
         if pbIncreaseStatWithCause(PBStats::SPATK,1,self,PBAbilities.getName(ability))
          PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{pbThis}'s Beast Boost (raising Special Attack)")
        end
      elsif user.spdef >= user.speed
         if pbIncreaseStatWithCause(PBStats::SPDEF,1,self,PBAbilities.getName(ability))
          PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{pbThis}'s Beast Boost (raising Special Defense)")
        end
      else
        if pbIncreaseStatWithCause(PBStats::SPEED,1,self,PBAbilities.getName(ability))
          PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{pbThis}'s Beast Boost (raising Speed)")
        end
      end
    end

I tried your Innards Out a bit and it seemed to work correctly. However, your Berserk activates when the user deals damage to the target, causing the target to fall below 50% health. It should rather activate with the user takes damage causing it to fall below 50%.
Based off of Rot8er_ConeX's code, placed under Justified:

if target.hasWorkingAbility(:BERSERK) &&
            target.hp+damage>target.totalhp/2 &&
            target.hp<target.totalhp/2
          if target.pbIncreaseStatWithCause(PBStats::SPATK,1,target,PBAbilities.getName(target.ability))
            PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{target.pbThis}'s Stamina")

I did some more testing with Berserk and it's indeed not really... functioning. The main problem I have whenever I create abilities is that I'm not sure where to put them exactly. As for the beast boost, I did think about comparing each stat with each other, but I thought that it would get too big of a code so I let it alone. Thanks for the criticism.

Edit: I accidently put && target.hp<=((user.totalhp/2).floor)... Just use the one you sent.
I also think I got Shields Down to work (not sure if someone's already made that, though.

Spoiler:

Under Darmanitan's Zen Mode in PokeBattle_Battler:

    # Zen Mode
    if isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:DARMANITAN)
      if self.hasWorkingAbility(:ZENMODE) && @hp<=((@totalhp/2).floor)
        if self.form!=1

        end
      else
        if self.form!=0
          self.form=0; transformed=true
        end
      end
    end
[COLOR="Red"]    # Minior
    if self.hasWorkingAbility(:SHIELDSDOWN) && isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:MINIOR)
      if self.form==0 && @hp<=((@totalhp/2).floor)
        self.form=rand(7); transformed=true
      elsif self.form!=0 && @hp>=((@totalhp/2).floor)
        self.form=0; transformed=true
      end
      if self.form==0
        user=self
        case self.status
        when PBStatuses::SLEEP
          pbCureStatus(false)
          @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} woke up!",pbThis))
        when PBStatuses::POISON
          pbCureStatus(false)
          @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} can't be poisoned!",pbThis))
        when PBStatuses::BURN
          pbCureStatus(false)
          @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} can't be burned!",pbThis))
        when PBStatuses::FROZEN
          pbCureStatus(false)
          @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} can't be frozen!",pbThis))
        when PBStatuses::PARALYSIS
          pbCureStatus(false)
          @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} can't be paralyzed!",pbThis))
        end
      end
    end[/COLOR]

This under Rest in PokeBattle_MoveEffects:

    if attacker.hp==attacker.totalhp
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("{1}'s HP is full!",attacker.pbThis))
      return -1
    end
[COLOR="Red"]    if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:SHIELDSDOWN) && attacker.form==0
      @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("But it failed!"))
      return -1
    end[/COLOR]

And to make this ability unable to be suppressed, copied, traced, swapped, etc. add it in the lists. If you're not sure which ones, look Shields Down up on Bulbapedia.

I also made Battle Bond just now. I took an idea from somewhere above and it worked perfectly.

Spoiler:

Add this line underneath "these effects apply to a battler" in PBEffects (you may need to change the number)

BattleBond         = 110

Then, add this line at line 458 in PokeBattle_Battler:

    @effects[PBEffects::BattleBond]       = 0

Third, copy this under Moxie in PokeBattler_Battler:

# Battle Bond
    if isConst?(user.species,PBSpecies,:GRENINJA) && user.hasWorkingAbility(:BATTLEBOND)
      if target.isFainted? && !user.isFainted? && user.form==0
        [email protected](target.index)
        if party.length>1
          PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{user.pbThis}'s Battle Bond")
          @effects[PBEffects::BattleBond]=1
        end
      end
    end

Last, you need to actually change Greninja's form when the effect is greater than 0 (=1) somewhere under Darmanitan's Zen Mode:

    # Greninja
    if isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:GRENINJA) && self.hasWorkingAbility(:BATTLEBOND)
      user=self
      if user.effects[PBEffects::BattleBond]==1 && self.form==0
        self.form=1; transformed=true
      end
    end

A little lower, under pbResetForm, add Greninja (like this:

         isConst?(self.species,PBSpecies,:GRENINJA)

I also made it so that Greninja only transforms if he's battling a trainer with 2 or more Pokémon.
