At the latest, it’ll definitely be when Pet Mods get squared away for Gen 8, though I don’t know when that’s going to happen
I’d assume the prevalence of doubles abilities is due to VGCRegarding Pokédex: #BringBackNatDex #BringBackMegaEvos #BanAllMaxing
Regarding Moves: We should review each change and come to a consensus about what changes should be allowed and what shouldn't.
I'd say let's not incorporate Body Press. I can see this getting abused by, like, EVERYTHING. (i.e. by Mega Aggron against Aggron, by Mega Steelix against Steelix). I'm in favor of making Rapid Spin's new secondary effect trigger, but only if the user's SpA/Spe are not negative in Nature, because slow spinners tend to be Gyro Ballers as well.
This mod has Mega Unown, right? So Hidden Power has to still be a thing, right?
Honestly, I never liked Return or Frustration.
Regarding Abilities: What is GF's obsession with doubles-only Abilities? Steely Spirit, Power Spot, Battery, Power of Alchemy, Receiver, Telepathy, Symbiosis, Pickup, Healer, etc. don't help in singles battles. Like, at all.
Regarding Sprites: I say we use the GMax sprites for the Megas of the fully-evolved Pokémon that have one (except in the cases of Charizard, Flapple, Appletun, and maybe Toxtricity).
No. Adding the Pokemon is just enough (also we could convert the gigantamax forms into their Mega Forms looks wise, but much smaller obviously).For removed moves, should I account for those? (Notable examples include Knock Off’s gutted distribution, Hydreigon not having Roost in Gen 8, etc.)
Useless abilities should be 0, not -2. Negatives should be for detrimental effects only.Tentative new ability rankings:
5:
Intrepid Sword
4.5:
Dauntless Shield
Libero
4:
Gorilla Tactics
Neutralizing Gas
Punk Rock
Sand Spit
3.5
Mirror Armor
Propeller Tail
Stalwart
3:
Perish Body
Wandering Spirit
2.5:
Cotton Down
Steam Engine
2:
Pastel Veil
-2:
Ball Fetch
Gulp Missile
Hunger Switch
Ice Face
Ripen
Let me know if any of these should change.
Useless with a mega stoneWhy is Ripen a 0? Is it hard-coded to Flapple and Appletun?
*that still means just useless, not detrimental, so that still means 0*Thinking of moving Hunger Switch, Gulp Missile, and Ice Face to -2 because I could be wrong, but they’re exclusive to certain mons.
That doesn't make any sense with how the ratings are officially defined in the Github, so put those in 0I'm following the precedent of things like Disguise, RKS System, and Schooling being at -2.
there was at one point i think i'd have to check historyIs there even a -2 in the Github?
