Seventy-five Pokemon fixes

A long run of Pokemon fixes. Battles finish the way they should, balls are only spent when a throw really happens, trades settle on both sides or not at all, and a released Pokemon hands back its held item. Seasonal events spawn their costumed Pokemon again.

Battles

Battles finish

A battle no longer ends on its own partway through.

Finished PvP battles

Leftover move buttons cannot re-run one or pay the winner twice.

After a KO or a switch move

After a KO, U-turn, Volt Switch or Flip Turn, both players can act on the next turn. No more lockouts or repeated moves.

Leaving the Battle Tower

Fleeing, timing out or /cleanup me during a Tower battle banks your BP and streak. Bank and Leave cannot be pressed twice.

Switching out

Pokemon keep their HP and status when switched out, in PvP and trainer battles. Natural Cure and Regenerator work on switch-out.

The PvP Switch button

It offers your chosen battle team.

Switch prompts

One that times out sends out your next Pokemon, and the battle carries on.

Stat-lowering moves

Growl, Leer, String Shot and the like lower the foe’s stats, not your own.

Taunt, Disable and Encore

They stop status moves too, and so do choice items and recharge.

Type-boosting items and Plates

They give +20%, not +44%.

Tinted Lens and Fur Coat

Both work the right way round.

Future Sight and Doom Desire

Both respect the type chart, sleep, freeze and PP.

Protect moves

King’s Shield, Spiky Shield and Baneful Bunker have Protect’s priority.

Priority blockers

Dazzling, Queenly Majesty and Armor Tail block priority moves.

End of the turn

Leftovers, Black Sludge, burn and poison add up. One no longer wipes out another.

One-use held items

One is used once, and only the Pokemon holding it loses it. It stays used if that Pokemon switches out and back in.

/battle npc

It respects a channel’s battle block.

Catching

Seasonal events

Halloween and the rest spawn costumed Pokemon again, and Event Incense spawns costumes.

Event Pokedex

The grids fill in again.

Dark Ball

It catches while fishing and in wormholes, and seals its catch in shadow every time, as /catch does.

Level Ball and Love Ball

At high multipliers, like an 8x Level Ball, they can catch while fishing and in wormholes.

Throw

It never picks a ball for you. If you did not pick one and have no Poke Balls, nothing is spent.

Too late

Throwing at a spawn someone just caught keeps your ball.

/catch

It never spends a ball you do not have.

/starter

It is one-time. Releasing your Pokemon does not let you pick a new starter.

Legendary rarity

Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus, Kubfu, Urshifu, Regieleki, Regidrago, Glastrier, Spectrier, Calyrex, Type: Null, Silvally, Poipole, Naganadel, Stakataka and Blacephalon are legendary-rare and count toward the legends badges. A fused Calyrex, Necrozma or Kyurem still counts.

Zarude

Its trial no longer needs you to own a Zarude already.

Quest mythicals

Region, type, Pink and Event Incense no longer spawn them. Golden Incense still can.

Pinkcense

Meloetta is out of the pool.

Love Ball names

It compares whole species names: Tapu Koko, Porygon-Z, Nidoran and the rest.

Overlapping spawns

Two at once no longer leave an uncatchable Pokemon in the channel.

Fishing

It no longer locks you out when the cast message is deleted or your DMs fail.

Wormholes

A Wormhole Ticket comes back if the wormhole cannot load, and /wormhole will not take your ticket when you have no balls.

Box and trades

Trades

A trade settles on both sides or not at all. If an offered Pokemon left its owner, the trade is cancelled.

Releasing

A released Pokemon gives its held item back to your bag, in Discord and on the site.

Bulk releases

They pay for what was actually released.

Held items

They cannot be duplicated through two open panels.

Give Item

Plates can be equipped with it, and items past the 25th in a category can be reached.

/release dupes

Event forms are kept apart from the plain species.

Favourites

A traded Pokemon arrives without the old owner’s favourite mark.

/party

The slot button answers when that Pokemon has left.

Battle teams

/battleteam view works again, and saved teams drop Pokemon you traded or listed, on the site too.

Fused legendaries on teams

A fused Kyurem, Necrozma or Calyrex counts against a server’s restricted list.

Evolution and daycare

Evolution items

Oval Stone, Razor Claw and Razor Fang are required and spent for Happiny, Sneasel and Gligar.

More evolutions

Nidoran, Mime Jr., Jangmo-o, Hakamo-o, Type: Null and Galarian Mr. Mime can evolve.

Porygon-Z

It no longer turns back into Porygon2.

Double presses

One evolution item, one evolution.

Level-up moves

A level-up offers every new move and never re-teaches one your Pokemon already knows.

PP Ups

They stay with the move they were used on.

Move Tutor

It shows the right pre-evolution moves.

EXP Candy

It is not wasted at the level cap.

Ditto

It does not breed legendaries, mythicals or babies.

Manaphy

Its eggs hatch Phione.

Eggs

Each one hatches once.

Daycare pairs

Pairs like Mimikyu can lay eggs.

Events and quests

Boss prizes

They no longer expire after 15 minutes or a restart. If your DMs are closed, clone and seasonal prizes wait in the battle channel for you.

Event bosses

One cannot be launched twice before its cooldown starts.

Rocket’s Rival

It can be earned again.

Mythic trials

Claim cannot summon over and over, and a summoned mythic can only be caught by its summoner.

Mythic quest steps

Worn items and the shop’s Metal Coat count. Deoxys, Shaymin, Keldeo and Meloetta trials can be claimed.

Fusions

Fused legendaries battle as their fused form, and unfusing a traded fusion gives the half to its current owner.

Megas on /auction

A listed Mega reverts to its base form and keeps its stone.

Purified Pokemon

They lose their Shadow moves and take normal damage from them.

In DMs

/poke mint, abilitypatch, ppup and ppmax work there.

Pokedex

/dex lookup

It finds Giratina, Mr. Mime, Type: Null, Tapu Koko and other names as people type them.

Who’s That Pokemon

It accepts the species name however it is typed.

/dex missing

Paging works from page 1.

Dex totals

They count the 898 national dex Pokemon only, in Discord and on your /me page.

Tips and help

Spawn tips and help match how the balls, shiny hunts and PvP really work.

For mods

Grant tools

/pokemod giveball, evoitem, givebp, rocketreset and eventspawn work only for the bot owner and mods of the home server.

/pokemod clearspawn

With no channel, it clears only this server.

Champion Challenges

One nobody answers expires after a day, and /cleanup mod can clear stuck ones.

Title battles

A Champion who leaves one with /cleanup me loses the title.

Gyms, Elite Four and regions

Removing a gym leader, Elite Four member or region works and no longer locks the Elite Four.

/pokemod uploadsprites

It uploads badges too.
