v18 Alternate Forms and Regular Forms in same encounter table?

[ValiantSoul]

Hey again!

I was wondering if there was some way to have both a Pokemon, and it's alternate form, defined on the same encounter table at different odds?

Example:

LandDay
    TAILLOW,3,4
    CATERPIE,2,4
    CATERPIE,5
    TAILLOW,6
    PARAS,4,5
    PARAS,4,5
    BURMY,4,5
    PACHIRISU,5,6
    METAPOD,7
    KLINK,3,5
    PARAS,3,5
    PACHIRISU_1,5,6

So far it doesn't seem to work, and I'm not sure how to code it in such a way that it does. Any help hugely appreciated!

You could try making the Pachirisu defined as a regular Pachirisu in encounters.txt, then making an "encounter modifier" at the bottom of the script section PField_EncounterModifiers:

Events.onWildPokemonCreate += proc { |_sender, e|
  pokemon = e[0]
  if $game_map.map_id == YOUR_MAP_ID && pokemon.isSpecies?(:PACHIRISU) && rand(60) < 10
    pokemon.form = 1
  end
}

Where YOUR_MAP_ID is the ID of the map where you defined the encounters you listed above. When this code runs, it will check that "pokemon" is indeed a Pachirisu encountered on the map of your choosing, and if so it has a 1/6 chance of turning it into form 1 (which makes it 5% Pachirisu and 1% form 1 overall).

If you're using Essentials v18 then doing RATTATA_1 will work.

Hey bud,

I figured that would be true, but having Pachirisu_1 on the encounter table makes it appear as a blank slot once the game boots up. I don't believe I have changed the enconuter table since creating the save either, so that shouldn't be an issue.

And thanks for the advice dude! I haven't tried it yet due to the above post (so I gotta try and figure out what's wrong here) but I will if that fails!
