Pokemon Generation

Pokemon are complex creatures. There are dozens of ways in which they can be customised and configured for battling or spawning.

Pokemon can be generated through the use of generation strings, which are a series of options separated by semicolons. For instance, 00bxxu0w,level 25;male would generate a Male, Level 25, Pikachu belonging to the the region, Nintendo. If given to the &battle trigger, a battle with this wild Pokemon would be initiated. If given to the &mon trigger, the Pokemon would be given directly to the player.

  • Fields are comma-separated (,)
  • Order doesn't matter, but typically appears as: time, player, ball, map, level, type

Can Mega Evolve

Sets whether or not the Pokemon has ever Mega Evolved. Mega Evolution normally requires a happiness of at least 200 (in addition to the trainer having a Key Stone and the Pokemon holding a Mega Stone). If the Pokemon has this flag set, they will bypass the happiness check. This is useful if the Pokemon's happiness ever drops below 200 after it has Mega Evolved once. This flag is reset on trade since the new Trainer will need to bond with the Pokemon to Mega Evolve it.

Syntax

can-mega value

g value
where value is 0 (does not bypass happiness check) or 1 (bypasses happiness check).

Sketch Used

Sets the slot of a Sketched move. This will block Sketch from being relearned unless it is the only move the Pokemon can learn (like Smeargle).

Syntax

sketch-used slot

v slot
where slot is the slot of the Sketched move or -1 if Sketch has never been used.
