General Plugin Utilities In the Settings file of the plugin, you may edit the following settings to customize certain features.

  • SHORTEN_MOVES When this is set to true, moves that have really long names (more than 16 characters) will be shortened with ellipses so that they may properly fit the battle UI. Set this to false to disable this feature.

  • HIDE_DATABOXES_DURING_MOVES When this is set to true, all battler databoxes will be hidden during a Pokémon's move animation in battle, as they are in Generation 5 and later. Set this to false to disable this feature.

  • PLAY_LOW_HP_MUSIC When this is set to true, the battle music will change whenever the player's Pokémon has critically low HP (≤ 25% of its maximum HP). Set this to false to disable this feature.

  • SHOW_MEGA_ANIM When this is set to true, a new animation added by this plugin will play when Mega Evolution is triggered. If you don't want to use this animation, you may set this to false.

  • SHOW_PRIMAL_ANIM When this is set to true, a new animation added by this plugin will play when Primal Reversion is triggered. If you don't want to use this animation, you may set this to false.

  • SHADOW_PATTERN_MOVEMENT This controls how the pattern that overlays Shadow Pokémon sprites animates. See the "Animation: Shadow Pokémon" section for details.
