Random Egg species

[itman312]

This is an example of a black market type functionality for stolen eggs. Now, obviously it's not difficult to add an egg for a particular species. But if these are stolen eggs, the seller may not know which species is contained within a particular egg. In my example, I am using theft as the plot explanation, but it can obviously be adapted for other plot scenarios in which it makes sense for the species to be unknown.

In my example, I chose only the 18 species of baby pokemon, but again, you can choose whatever you like. I also weighted them to account for rarity, so a Pichu is six times as likely to be picked as a Happiny.

The script is basically like so:

def pbGenerateRandomBabyEgg
	babySpecies = Array.new
	babySpecies.concat([:PICHU]*6)
	babySpecies.concat([:AZURILL]*6)
	babySpecies.concat([:BUDEW]*6)
	babySpecies.concat([:WYNAUT]*6)
	babySpecies.concat([:TYROGUE]*4)
	babySpecies.concat([:SMOOCHUM]*4)
	babySpecies.concat([:MIMEJR]*4)
	babySpecies.concat([:BONSLY]*4)
	babySpecies.concat([:MANTYKE]*4)
	babySpecies.concat([:CHINGLING]*4)
	babySpecies.concat([:MAGBY]*3)
	babySpecies.concat([:ELEKID]*3)
	babySpecies.concat([:RIOLU]*3)
	babySpecies.concat([:MUNCHLAX]*3)
	babySpecies.concat([:CLEFFA]*2)
	babySpecies.concat([:IGGLYBUFF]*2)
	babySpecies.concat([:TOGEPI])
	babySpecies.concat([:HAPPINY])
	speciesIndex = rand(babySpecies.length)
	speciesSelection = babySpecies[speciesIndex]
	return pbGenerateEgg(speciesSelection)
end

As you can see, you can set the rarity by multiplying by a number of your choosing. No need to multiply by one for obvious reasons.

You can then create an event that looks like this:

And that's all there is to it. I recommend putting the method in your own script section to make it easier to update Essentials in the future.

It is possible to give them a specific nature (or a random nature but in a little group (like, for example, pichu only can has timid, jolly, modest or adamant)) and perfect iv?
