Wild Battle Example # 1

The example below demonstrates a 1v1 battle against a wild Deoxys. In this battle, the following rules are set:

• "cannotRun" is used to prevent the playing from fleeing.

• "disablePokeBalls" is used to prevent the player from manually throwing Poke Balls.

• "terrain" is used to set permanent Psychic terrain.

• "environ" is used to set the battle environment to :Space.

• "backdrop" and "base" are used to customize the battle backdrop and bases, respectively.

• "alwaysCapture" is used to ensure a 100% capture rate in this battle.

• "battleBGM" is used to set custom battle music.

• "battleIntroText" is used to set custom battle intro text.

• "editWildPokemon" is used to edit the following attributes of the wild Deoxys:

  • Name is set to "????" so that it may be "revealed" in battle.

  • Obtain location is set to "Outer Space."

  • Flagged as Super Shiny.

  • Given Pokerus.

  • HP Level set to 2, multiplying its natural HP 2x.

  • Given boss immunity to OHKO effects, effects that would force it to flee, and all forms of indirect damage.

• "midbattleScript" is used to set a script to use for this battle which does the following:

  • "Reveals" Deoxy's real name at the start of the battle.

  • Sets a damage cap for Deoxys so that it will survive with 1 HP regardless of damage taken.

  • At the end of each round, Deoxys will cycle to its next form and recover its HP/Status.

  • Whenever Deoxys takes damage from an attack, it recovers back a little HP.

  • When Deoxy's HP falls to 25% or lower, it stops regenerating HP.

  • When Deoxys reaches the set damage cap (1 HP) after its regeneration has ended, the player will automatically throw a Poke Ball to capture Deoxys. This capture is guaranteed thanks to the "alwaysCapture" rule.
