Thundaga Shadow Pokemon Notes

Tutorial 61 - Shadow Pokemon
1. Get the snag machine as key item and also set true
$PokemonGlobal.snagMachine=true

you can also edit pokeballs to make them snag balls without needing the machine, Change the 4 at the end of the item definition to a 3

2. add the shadow type and shadow moves
also check out shadowmoves.txt for move assignments
make all other types weak to shadow moves

update moves in txt, format is off, get rid of COOL lines
Pokemon_ShadowPokemon defines bonus effects of moves at the bottom

if the shadow pokemon doesnt have 4 shadow moves, they'll start learning the moves they would have at their level in the empty slots as they get pure

3. SHADOW POKEMON USE SPECIFIC _SHADOW SPRITES
It would be smarter to just have a purple overlay applied when shadow is true but eh
Use _Shadow sprites when adding new shadow mon, its not a new form
Shadow pokemon cant be shiny, dont bother making a shadow shiny
You do need to make shadow M and F sprites, such as Pikachu

4. add in the perfume items, these are already defined in Pokemon_ShadowPokemon
ADD ANOTHER COMMA AFTER NAME, format was wrong
could add your own perfumes/scents if you want, just be sure to copy the script sections for out of battle and in battle
They cant be used on non-shadow pokemon. Vivid scent is super good

5. Give shadow pokemon to trainers
shadow is the 16th field defined in a trainers pokemon, set as true
Trainers will block balls thrown at shadow pokemon unless you have the snag machine

Show $Trainer.shadowcaught for array of caught Pokemon
Ex: if $Trainer.shadowcaught[PBSpecies::ELECTABUZZ] for conditionals

6. Purify chamber
$PokemonGlobal.seenPurifyChamber=true
download that music, throw it in BGM folder

line 1109 ---
pbBGMPlay("PurificationChamber")
line 1134 ---
def pbEnd()
    pbBGMStop
    $game_map.autoplay

annoying bug where purify chamber selection has party graphic overlay at start
PScreen_PokemonStorage - Line 1890
    @scene.pbStartBox(self,0) change that value from 2 to 0 so it starts on box organize

7. Lugia
lugia can only be purified if the chamber is at Max Tempo, Shadow Lugia sprites by ShadowGate31
update scripts for on step to accomodate LUGIA - line 482
update for daycare also line 491
update items so they dont affect lugia - line 226 - 301
