Legendary Breeding

UPDATE!

This script is now compatible with Essentials v20.1 as part of my Legendary Breeding plugin. Refer to that plugin for the features found in this thread.

I've made a few changes that allows legendary species to breed. This is done by assigning genders to all the legendaries, as well as adding 8 new Egg Groups that are exclusive to legendary species. This keeps them special from regular species by separating them in their own groups, but still allows legendaries to have all the benefits of breeding. I'll be covering all current legendary species, but there shouldn't be any issues if your project doesn't include Pokemon from more recent gens.

First off, here are the new Egg Groups I've set up:

Skycrest
This group is primarily occupied by bird-like or winged species that dominate the skies.

this looks pretty cool


do we need to have up to gen7 pokemon/moves/abilities/items added or will it just ignore them if there not there?
It'll just ignore them if they aren't present.
 
if i put a pokemon in a normal egg group and a legendary egg group would the normal egg group work as normal
the reason for this is because i am making a game with fakemon and one of them is ment to be 75% legendary (it has a baby form)
Fakemon PBS code for refrence:
Spoiler:

in this case i have Skycrest and Water 1. would it be able to breed with Poliwag and zapdos
Also manaphy already has 2 egg groups (Fairy and water 1) so enchanted would technically be a third

I haven't tested this possibility, but I would expect that you would be able to breed it with both Water 1 and Skycrest species. However Ditto would not be compatible with it (because Ditto will fail to breed with any legendary combo). Mew, however, should breed with it just fine.

good enough for me. i never understood how ditto can transform into a male of a female only species anyway or a female of a male only species
also you've missed Phione

I decided to keep Phione as it is. It was designed to be a bit weird in how it's obtained, and I'm ok with leaving it in the Water 1 group. I might add some kind of hold-item deal with Manaphy though, so that you can breed Manaphy eggs separately instead of always hatching Phione.

My game lets it evolve using a water stone

Minor Update 4/21/18
I've now added Egg Moves to every legendary species under my PBS File changes in my installation instructions. These Egg Moves are based on all of the species' Gen 7 learnsets. I tried to keep all Gen 6 & 7 moves at the end of each Pokemon's move list (if any), so you can easily delete them if your game is not up to date to include those new moves.

I've also made some small scripting changes to handle how Manaphy and Phione work, so you can now successfully create Manaphy eggs independently from Phione. When breeding Manaphy, the mother must hold a Mystic Water to create Manaphy eggs. Otherwise, only Phione will be hatched.

Please let me know if there are any errors or oversights I may need to correct.
 
sooo in my game is based on the zodiac (and im using the birthsign script) and i was wondering if the hatched pokemon can set based on its birthsign

Hmm what do you mean exactly? Are you asking if you could make the egg species change from what it would normally be based on what sign it inherits? I guess it depends on what you're trying to do, exactly. But I do suppose something like that would be possible, yes.
 
yh thats what i was meaning

Ok well, I tried playing around with it some. Unfortunately, I don't think there's any easy way to change the baby's species based on what sign it inherits...this is because Birthsigns are applied after the Pokemon hatches from the egg. While inside the egg, the Pokemon has no birthsign yet. So because of this, there isn't a way to really change the species beforehand without restructuring how the entire birthsign process works.

However, you can change the egg's species based on the parent's birthsigns.

So say for example, the mother species has the January sign, then you can code it so that the baby species it yields is different than it would normally be. You can even combine this with other factors, like what the current month is when the egg was created.

Here are some random examples I created:

Example 1
Code:
elsif isConst?(mother.species,PBSpecies,:PIKACHU)
    if mother.hasJanBirthsign?
      babyspecies=getConst(PBSpecies,:MARILL)
    elsif mother.hasFebBirthsign? && Time.now.mon==2
      babyspecies=getConst(PBSpecies,:PACHIRISU)
    elsif mother.hasMarBirthsign? && PBDayNight.isDay?
      babyspecies=getConst(PBSpecies,:EMOLGA)
    end

In this example, whenever you breed a mother Pikachu, the species it hatches will change depending on various factors.
1) If the mother has January's sign, it will always yield Marill eggs.
2) If the mother has the February sign, it will yield Pachirisu eggs if bred in the month of February.
3) If the mother has the March sign, it will yield Emolga eggs during the day.
4) In all other cases, the mother will yield Pichu eggs like normal.


Example 2
Code:
elsif isConst?(mother.species,PBSpecies,:MEOWTH)
    if mother.hasJanBirthsign? && father.hasDecBirthsign?
      babyspecies=getConst(PBSpecies,:SKITTY)
    elsif mother.hasPartnerSign?
      babyspecies=getConst(PBSpecies,:GLAMEOW)
    elsif mother.hasRivalSign?
      babyspecies=getConst(PBSpecies,:PURRLOIN)
    end

Here's some more examples using Meowth as the mother:
1) If the mother has the January sign, AND the father has the December sign, then the offspring species will be Skitty.
2) If the mother has one of the Partner signs of the current month, then the offspring will be Glameow.
3) If the mother has the Rival sign of the current month, then the offspring will be Purrloin.


Example 3
Code:
elsif isConst?(mother.species,PBSpecies,:MEW)
    if mother.hasCurrentSign? && father.hasCurrentSign?
      babyspecies=getConst(PBSpecies,:DITTO)
    end

In this case, if the mother species is Mew, and both parents share the same sign as the current month, then the offspring will hatch as Ditto.


Example 4
Code:
elsif isConst?(mother.item,PBItems,:JANZODICA) && mother.hasJanBirthsign?
    babyspecies=getConst(PBSpecies,:PIKACHU)

In this case, the offspring will be always be Pikachu for ANY parent species, as long as the mother has January's sign, and is holding a Janzodica stone.



Play around with it for yourself using these examples, and see what works. Hopefully you can get results that work with what you have in mind. You can enter this stuff in the breeding script under the "baby species" section, right below where I have all the code to determine Regigigas' offspring.
 
I actually made an icon for the Berserk Gene a while back, since it never had one to begin with (as there were no item icons in Gens I and II).

If you want to include it, feel free:

*It's based loosely on the the DNA icon used for Mega Evolutions in Gens 6+.

EDIT: I also had a go at creating a False and Divine Plate just for funzies:

I don't need credit or anything, and you can do whatever you want with it.

Thanks for the contribution. I'll use these.
 
i have two other legendary's i a dark arceus and different type of lugia how can i add them

If they're just forms you added of those existing species, then you don't have to do anything, since they'll work in the same way as the base species does. If you added them as completely new species in your Pokemon PBS file, then you'd have to assign them genders/egg groups/egg moves that you deem appropriate.
