[Other] Small question about givepokemon script

[pedrogab]

Hi, I'm slowly learning about hacking Pokémon ROMs. When looking at scripting tutorials, I noticed that, when talking about the givepokemon script, the authors only talked about species, level and held item of a Pokémon - the last three parameters should be left as 0x0.

But what if I want to specify gender, or nature, or ability, or even a set of IVs when using a givepokemon script? For example, what if I want to replicate the Lucario given by Korrina, which is Hasty with Speed IV 31? Or what if I want to have a character give an always-female Eevee with Anticipation (its Hidden Ability)?

EDIT: ah, and thanks beforehand for anything :)

I'm not really sure, but I guess you can try to find the offset for the natures/gender, etc, then WBTO it. Again not sure if that will work, but worth a try.

The last three parameters can be anything, they are discarded. You'd need ASM to give them your effect, like I did with my pokeball hack.
