[Scripting Question] "Ghosts" alongside normal Pokemon?

[Trick Tester]

Hey all,

So the title is a little confusing, but I'm hoping to have a map where I can include the GHOST Pokemon (that can't be caught etc) but also have other kinds of catchable Pokemon appear. The only scripts I've found have set a switch to have a whole area encounter be GHOST and then switch off when it's done.

I did think about having an event autorun in all the areas I want both to appear that will set a variable to X thing, and whenever the variable is a specific number it will turn on the Switch for X seconds which can bring an encounter and then when it's over it's off again. The idea is these kinds of GHOST Pokemon are rarer encounters and quite strong, so I wouldn't want to overload the player.

I have set the supposed GHOST Pokemon as it's own seperate type in the Pokemon PBS etc

tl;dr

How can I edit up the usual GHOST script that I can encounter uncatchable Pokemon rarely but also encounter the catchable ones?

EDIT:

the alternative is have Pokeballs as a whole be unable to be used on specific Pokemon.

Hey,

this shouldn't be too hard. But i don't recommend using events for that. They can slow down your game. Instead you can just modify the ghost scrìpt. I don't know what it looks like so i can't tell you what to change.

Depending on how it's set you can modify it to generate a random number and if it is a certain value it will create a ghost encounter, else a normal one

Okay awesome, thank you :)

I managed to figure it out slightly different, I just set an if pokemon.species = whatever pokemon then it'll block the Pokeball instead, but thanks so much for the help :D
