    I tried to add a new Evolution Method, but it don't work. I found a lot of simular Topics but could not find a solution.

    i added "when 26" in PokemonEvolution in the section for Evolution Stones

    Spoiler:


    i changed the evoparameter to 2

    Spoiler:


    i changed the Name from Custom1 to ItemForm

    Spoiler:


    Pokemon.txt looks like this:

    Evolutions=GROWLITHE,ItemForm,ICESTONE

    and i get this error


    Spoiler:


    what went wrong?
     
    Am pretty sure because for evolutions u put itemforms i think is just item all of those stuff before they tell u which line it happened in the pbs are evolution methods u put one in wrong so change Itemform to just Item try that hope it works

    So, it really does sound like you did everything right.
    What the error is telling you is that something happened with pokémon #658. Is that the one you added ItemForm to? If not, something's messed up with that one's evolution method.
    Other things to check - do you have the ice stone defined?
    Also, you may need to manually recompile. You can force recompile by hiting CTRL when you start to playtest in RMXP.
     
    Using arcanine as an example, are you creating a new form for both Growlithe and Arcanine? If so, can't you just list The pre-evolution in Pokemonforms.txt and the normal evolution method?
    So like:
    #---------------------------------------------------------
    [GROWLITHE-1]
    FormName=
    Evolutions=ARCANINE,Item,ICESTONE
    #---------------------------------------------------------

    As long as you have both the pre-evolution and the evolution listed in pokemonforms.txt, it should keep the same form when it evolves
