[Scripting Question] Thunder Armor Ability

[HeroesFightingFear]

I also had an idea inspired by the anime.
The Thunder Armor ability is made for Swellow, and works best in tandem with items that weaken Electric moves.

165,THUNDERARMOR,Thunder Armor,"When hit by an Electric-type move, this Pokémon's form changes."

I need help figuring out how to program this.

So, an ability like Justified is probably a good place to start, it triggers when hit by a move of a particular type. Then you'll need to work out how to change the form. Perhaps looking for how Castform or Zen Mode works is a start there, since they are form changes that happen in-battle.

It was pretty simple to do.
Just copy this code and paste above this line: if target.hasWorkingAbility(:JUSTIFIED) && isConst?(movetype,PBTypes,:DARK)

        if target.hasWorkingAbility(:THUNDERARMOR) && isConst?(movetype,PBTypes,:ELECTRIC) && target.form == 0
          target.form = 1
          target.pbUpdate(true)
          @battle.scene.pbChangePokemon(target,target.pokemon)
          @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("¡{1} change its form!", target.pbThis,PBAbilities.getName(target.ability)))
        end

This should work perfectly ^^

Indeed it does. One thing I didn't think of is that Swellow can get paralyzed, and it becomes Electric/Flying after changing its form. It does work though, even has the set stat changes and set sprites.
