    How to create an ability that turns Ice-type moves into Fire-Types and turns Fire-type moves into Ice-types, like a Double Pixilate?

    So a Pokemon with this ability would end up having a Fire-type Ice Beam and ice-type Flamethrower.
     
    you'll wanna modify this
    Spoiler:
    then locate this
    Spoiler:

    untested, but it should work... hopefully

    That's going to change normal moves to Fire type. SuperSpyro, did you try the code I already provided in your other post here?: https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/438505. Not sure why you made 2 posts for this
     
    I had my own ability idea like this. I can show you the way I coded it, if that helps.

    Part 1 - Flying to Electric
    Code: 
    def pbModifyType(type,attacker,opponent)
    if type>=0
      if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:AVIATOR) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FLYING)
        type=getConst(PBTypes,:FLYING)
      elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:FLYING)
        if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:TEMPEST) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:ELECTRIC)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:ELECTRIC)
          @powerboost=true
        end
      end
    end
    return type
  end

    Part 2 - Electric to Flying
    Code: 
    def pbModifyType(type,attacker,opponent)
    if type>=0
      if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:CHARGED) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:ELECTRIC)
        type=getConst(PBTypes,:ELECTRIC)
      elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:ELECTRIC)
        if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:TEMPEST) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FLYING)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:FLYING)
          @powerboost=true
        end
      end
    end
    return type
  end


    NOTE: This was an ability concept for Zapdos.
     
    I tried adding both def pbModifyType entries and getting them to work on the same Freezer Burn ability that's meant to x1.2 Fire and Ice moves and swap Fire/Ice around, but it just turns all of my Pokemon's moves into Electric-types. Including moves that are already Electric type.

    Did you try this yet?:

    If you have the power boost part working, all you should need to do is put the bolded part after "elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:NORMAL)" under def pbModifyType like below:
    Code: 
          if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:NORMALIZE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:NORMAL)
        type=getConst(PBTypes,:NORMAL)
      elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:NORMAL)
        if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:AERILATE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FLYING)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:FLYING)
          @powerboost=true
        elsif attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:REFRIGERATE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:ICE)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:ICE)
          @powerboost=true
        elsif attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:PIXILATE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FAIRY)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:FAIRY)
          @powerboost=true
        end
[B]      elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:ICE)
        if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:ABILITYNAME) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FIRE)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:FIRE)
          @powerboost=true
        end
      elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:FIRE)
        if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:ABILITYNAME) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:ICE)
          type=getConst(PBTypes,:ICE)
          @powerboost=true
        end[/B]
      end
     
    ok

    def pbModifyType(type,attacker,opponent)
    if type>=0
    if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:NORMALIZE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:NORMAL)
    type=getConst(PBTypes,:NORMAL)
    elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:NORMAL)
    if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:AERILATE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FLYING)
    type=getConst(PBTypes,:FLYING)
    @powerboost=true
    elsif attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:REFRIGERATE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:ICE)
    type=getConst(PBTypes,:ICE)
    @powerboost=true
    elsif attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:PIXILATE) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FAIRY)
    type=getConst(PBTypes,:FAIRY)
    @powerboost=true
    end
    elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:ICE)
    if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:ABILITYNAME) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:FIRE)
    type=getConst(PBTypes,:FIRE)
    @powerboost=true
    end
    elsif isConst?(type,PBTypes,:FIRE)
    if attacker.hasWorkingAbility(:ABILITYNAME) && hasConst?(PBTypes,:ICE)
    type=getConst(PBTypes,:ICE)
    @powerboost=true
    end
    end
    end
    end
    return type
    end

[B][I]end[/I][/B]
    return type
  end
    You have an extra "end"
     
    Removing the extra And fixed things.

    I tested the ability against a Geodude and it correctly changed the types, used a Super-effective Flamethrower and a not-very-effective Ice Beam on him. Is it possible to make the ability change the displayed type icon of the moves the pokemon has during battle?

    That's going to take a little bit more effort, but this script does that (and also will display type-effectiveness). Also note that this doesn't work with EBS.
