Giving Pokemon alternate forms

[hellokiddo]

What must I do to give my Pokemon an alternate form, by making it hold an item, and when I take that certain item away it can go back to its normal form??

Someone asked this about Giratina a few months ago. Because I'm nice, I searched for it myself and found the answer: https://www.pokecommunity.com/posts/4392708/. You can adapt it a bit to check the hold item instead of a variable, and resprite accordingly.

For the record, ask questions about Pokémon Essentials in the thread that's there specifically for questions about Pokémon Essentials. It's not difficult.

Assuming you are talking about Essentials.
Most questions get answered really quickly here too: Help and Requests Thread.

We have to try decipher your question and assume the asnwer we are giving is helpful in your situation. You could be asking for ROM hacking and posting here by mistake for all we know gathered from your post lol.
Guys, just help us to help you by putting in a bit of details like what program your using, and so on please.

My script can be implemented for any other pokemon too and how the forms should be changed. to change the way the form takes place edit the value "d" and cange "PBSpecies" to any pokemon you want.

In my PokemonUtilities i could not find "class pbLoadSpeciesBitmap"

Is this even possible?

Yes it's possible, and actually not as complex as what it sounds really.

You can find it at line 456. Originally it was with unown, but since i'm not using it for now so my code looks like this

def pbLoadPokemonBitmap(pokemon, back=false)
  return pbLoadPokemonBitmapSpecies(pokemon,pokemon.species,back)
end

 def pbLoadPokemonBitmapSpecies(pokemon, species, back=false)
  if pokemon.egg?
   return BitmapCache.load_bitmap(
     sprintf("Graphics/Pictures/egg.png"))
  end
  bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s%s.png",species,
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "")
  if isConst?(species,PBSpecies,:SPINDA) && !back
   bitmap=Bitmap.new(bitmapFileName)
   pbSpindaSpots(pokemon,bitmap)
   return bitmap
# Giratina form changing script by DragoChamp
elsif isConst?(species,PBSpecies,:GIRATINA)
   d=if $game_switches[96]==true
   begin
    # Load Origin Form bitmap if found
    return BitmapCache.load_bitmap(
      sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s%sorigin.png",species,
       pokemon.isShiny? ? "s" : "",
       back ? "b" : "", d)
    )
    rescue
    # Load plain bitmap as usual (see below)
   end
  end
 end
  return BitmapCache.load_bitmap(bitmapFileName)
end

and this works perfectly. Also note that you must place the "origin" for the Giratina sprite after the number (487) and after the prefixes "s" and "b". So the image for a shiny Giratina in origin form should be "487sorigin.png"

EDIT: I also think that the "class" variable confused you while it should be "def". That's a fault on my behalf. Sorry on that.
