    Hi
    I was going to make a custom ability that each turn sets a random moon phase for the user pokémon, like the turn starts and then say: "The full moon is shining" or "The moon is a beautiful crescent", and then stores that information in a variable for later use in a move that does different things depending of which of the 4 phases of the moon, i've already made simple abilities before, but i don't know where to start with this one, maybe can someone help me? thanks!
     
    I know probably less than you, but I would guess you just have the variable assigned after weather is checked?
    You could generate a random number between... 0 and 3? Although simply cycling through the phases would make more logical sense, so...
    Maybe if the variable's not set, set it to a random number then add 1 to that number after each turn, unless it's 3 in which case make it 0?
    Not sure how you'd clear the variable after battle though.
     
    Yup, i did it! thanks for the idea, i made it simply cycling trough the phases as you said, but i still want to make it random, cuz strategy reasons.
