feat!: Minor Update 1.11.7 to Main

[DayKev]

Changelog: hotfix-1.11.7 ---> main

Bug Fixes

• [Bug] Tar Shot no longer breaks with Normalize #6889
  • Tar Shot now correctly considers the user's type-changing abilities instead of the target's for its fire type condition.
    As a result, it will work in attacks against opponents with Normalize and distinctly NOT work on Fire-type moves changed to Normal-type from the user's Normalize ability.
• [Bug][ME] Allow Part Timer Rewards to Account for Amulet Coin #5343
  • Background
    There was a reported bug where if a player holds the amulet coin and completes a job for the part-timer mystery encounter, they will not receive the bonus. In other words, the rewards given from the mystery encounter are unaffected by the amulet coins benefit.
• [Bug][Refactor] MoveTypeChangeAbAttr no longer modifies move power #6898
  • Pixilate et al will apply their power boost before Terastallization sets the move's minimum base power to 60.
• [Bug] [Balance] Trainers will now correctly not spawn 2 waves before gym leader battles  #6940
  • Trainers won't spawn 2 waves prior to gym leaders, as was intended
• [Bug][UX] Pokédex now displays actual dex number for all forms #6948
  • Users will no longer see numbers that are impossible (ex. Bloodmoon Ursaluna should have a number of 0901)
• fix: Fixed Spiky-Eared Pichu not generating in battles and eggs #6966
  • Spiky-Eared Pichu will now properly appear in the wild, in trainer parties, and in eggs at a 1/8 chance.
    Fixes [Bug] Spiky-Eared Pichu can't spawn from eggs #6964 .
• fix(move): Magnitude power values and thresholds set to correct values #6971
  • Magnitude will now have the correct move base power values and will output them with the correct frequency.
• fix(move): Variable power moves use pokemon friendship for trainers #6978
  • Trainers will use the Pokéons friendship instead of the species base friendship
• fix(ability): Color Change will now activate in the correct situations #6905
  • Color change will no longer incorrectly activate in the following scenarios:
    • The defender's typing includes the move's type
    • The move is typeless (Struggle)
    • A multi-hit move hasn't finished (only the final hit of a multi-hit should cause the type change)
    • The defender is Terastallized
• fix(move): update invalid move banlists #6936
  • Certain inconsistencies in move calling move banlists have been fixed:
    • Metronome cannot copy Nature Power
    • Sleep Talk can no longer copy Nature Power or Snatch
    • Copycat cannot copy Nature Power
    • Mirror Move can no longer copy Assist, Sleep Talk, Mirror Move, Copycat, Nature Power or Snatch
    • Instruct can copy King's Shield
    • Sketch can now copy Mirror Move and Sleep Talk (which have been the case for several generations by now)
• fix: Properly increment ME chance on new waves #6930

  • MEs will be substantially more likely when one has not been encountered for a while.

    Take starting at wave 12 with encounterSpawnChance = 3. When wave 12 runs and no ME is encountered, encounterSpawnChance is increased to 6. 13 and 14 run the same way, so after wave 14 we have encounterSpawnChance = 12.

    If wave 15 is a trainer battle, the chance is not incremented so remains at 12. When an ME is encountered, it is reset to 3.

    None of this is new and it is described in https://wiki.pokerogue.net/gameplay:mysteryencounters#dep3gt2zi_hokojsh72, I just fixed the code path so the increment actually runs.

• fix(audio): Fix certain forms not playing their intended cries #6960
  • This properly allows Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, Rapid Strike Urshifu, Lowkey Toxtricity, Female Indeedee, and Female Oinkologne to play their intended cries. Fixes [Bug] Incorrect Pokémon cry on specific cases #6944 .
• fix(ui): Icons will no longer overlap in run history for long texts #6981
  • The enemy icons will no longer overlap with the defeated by text if it's long in some langauges
• fix(move): fix Heal Block mainline inconsistencies + add restriction tests #6625
  • Heal block:
    1. Restricts a list of moves more in sync with mainline, including Wish, many draining moves, etc etc
    2. Has proper text
    3. Results in slightly smaller save files due to not saving a useless moveId parameter
    4. Restricts Pollen Puff target selection correctly
• fix(ability): Costar now copies allied crit stages #6989
  • Costar will now copy the crit stages of the user's ally.
• fix: Prevent double daily starters #6980
  • Dailies won't be able to have the same starter twice
• fix(ui): Pokemon can no longer be released during MEs #7002
  • The option to release a fainted Pokémon with the "Hardcore" challenge enabled will no longer appear when viewing your party during an ME intro.
• fix(move): Stop showing message for damaging moves under Misty Terrain #6987
  • Damaging moves applying Confusion no longer shows terrain block message for Misty Terrain
• refactor: clean up getAttackTypeEffectiveness and custom type effectiveness moves #6241
  • Synchronoise now no longer cheats the AI and correctly interacts with Tera Stellar.
• fix(move): restore third move failure sequence #6949
  • The failure check for moves conditions that occur during the third sequence will now go in the third sequence instead of the 4th. This is before the move is considered "locked in" for the purpose of protean / libero trigger. This affects:
    • Steel Roller with no terrain
    • Follow Me / Rage Powder failing due to being used in single battle
    • Stockpile with >= 3 stacks already
    • Spit up / swallow with 0 stockpiles
    • Counter / Mirror Coat / Metal Burst with no damage taken from enemies this turn
    • Last resort's bespoke failure conditions
    • Snore while not asleep
    • Sucker punch failing due to the target having already used their selected move or not having selected a damaging move
    • Magic Coat failing due to being used as the last move in the turn
    • Protect-like moves failing due to consecutive use or being the last move in the turn
    • First turn moves (e.g. mat block, fake out) failing due to not being used on first turn
    • Rest failing due to already being asleep
    • Teleport failing when used by a wild Pokémon that can't use it to flee or used by a trainer Pokémon with no Pokémon to switch to
    • Magnet rise failing while under the effect of ingrain, smack down
    • Stuff cheeks with no berry
    • Destiny bond failing on consecutive use
    • Quick Guard / Wide Guard failing due to being used as the last move in the turn
    • Poltergeist against a target with no item
    • Shell Trap failing due to not being hit by a physical move
    • Aurora veil failing due to no hail
    • Clangorous soul and Fillet Away failing due to insufficient HP
    • Upper hand failing due to the target not selecting a priority move
• fix(move): Copycat now ignores move sequence 2 failures #6999
  • Copycat will no longer incorrectly consider certain types of move failures for its "last move" tracker.
• fix: fix missing slot id inside TitlePhase #7021
  • Hitting "Load Save" on save slots >= 2 will no longer cause saving your game to overwrite your first active slot.
• fix(battle): Use min Def to prevent infinite dmg #7017
  • It's no longer to deal infinite damage due to the enemy having 0 def. Instead it will always have 1
• fix(move): Grudge no longer breaks on move-calling moves #6972

  • Grudge will correctly deduct PP from move-calling moves if a called move KOs the Grudge user.

    Grudge's activation text no longer states that the pokemon using Grudge lost PP

• fix: Anger Shell no longer triggers multiple times with Parental Bond/etc #6977
  • Uneven multi hit damage thresholds no longer cause Anger Shell & Berserk to re-trigger.
• fix(move): add missing Telekinesis removal message #7045
  • Telekinesis now shows a message on being removed, and its 3 turn duration no longer double-counts Instructed/Dancer-induced actions.

Balance

• balance: Make Daily Run starters use Stronger Evo Threshold #6957

  • Slightly less weak starters.

    Like genuinely, it only affects these starters (thanks Moro):
    STARMIE
    ALCREMIE
    BELLIBOLT
    TOGETIC
    CHIMECHO
    CHANSEY
    SWOOBAT
    FROSMOTH
    SUDOWOODO
    GALAR_MR_MIME
    MR_MIME

    On default EvoThreshold those would be unevolved.

• balance(biomes): fix some Sub-Legendary rarities and locations #7019
  • Zapdos, Moltres, and Shaymin have had their rarities in biomes adjusted to match other Sub-Legendaries and Mythicals
  • Entei and Raikou have both been moved to Tall Grass
• balance: catching and friendship won't increase candy past 9999 #7041
  • Starter candy can't be increased past 9999 via catching or friendship gain.
• balance: Passive and Egg Move Changes 1.11.7 #7042

  • Passive Changes for 29 (21) Species and Forms;
    Charmeleon, Charizard, Tangela, Tangrowth, Tauros, Skarmory, Ho-Oh, Taillow, Swellow, Beldum, Metang, Metagross, Monferno, Infernape, Cherrim (All Forms), Mega Abomasnow, Heatran, Dragalge, Zygarde (All Forms), Magearna (All Forms), Eldegoss

    Egg Move Changes for 41 starters;

• balance: Rotom-ify the Starmobiles #7044
  • Starmobiles will now have a stat increase that matches the Rotom appliance forms.
    BEFORE: 600 - 110/129/100/77/79/105
    AFTER: 580 - 80/129/120/69/97/85
• balance: Elite 4 Fixes + General Trainer Adjustments #7032

  • Elite 4 should no longer generate duplicate Pokemon. Some Elite 4 members have also seen adjustments and Galar E4 now has Bede as a possible spawn. As always, the list of changes can be found on PokeRogue Trainers Spreadsheet

    --Minor Trainer Adjustments--

    • Champion Kieran now leads with Incineroar / Grimmsnarl instead of Poliwrath / Politoed.
    • Most Elite 4 now have at least one variety slot to make teams slightly different across runs, some Pokemon also had their abilities hard coded on these fights to keep up with the level of power in late waves.
    • Gym Leader Morty now has a Galarian Corsola instead of a Duskull, Gym Leader Falkner now has a Zubat instead of Hoothoot.
    • Colress and Zinzolin received minor adjustments to their spawnable teams, other Evil Admins had some Pokemon listed as their evolved forms changed to their pre evolutions like the rest of the file.
• balance: Update STAB Blacklist and Hardcoded Trainer Moveset Adjustments #7043

  • Certain Trainer Boss Pokemon have had their movesets adjusted for flexibility / more variety, or to prevent specific moves from spawning. Circle Throw and Dragon Tail were added to the STAB blacklist as they are more supportive options rather than offensive. Some binding moves have also been added to STAB blacklist, so stuff like Fire Spin isn’t the Pokemon’s main way of attacking.

    Mustard's G-Max Urshifus and Penny's random Starmobile have received adjustments (Penny now has a hardcoded moveset for her Revavrooms to avoid them generating the wrong Torques)

    Mustard's G-Max Urshifu's adjusted moveset:

    (Surging Strikes or Wicked Blow) same
    (Brick Break) -> (Brick Break / Close Combat) new
    (Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch) same
    (Focus Energy) -> (Iron Head / Poison Jab / Stone Edge) new

    Penny's Starmobile new moveset:

    (Random Torque)
    (Iron Head / Spin Out)
    (High Horsepower)
    (Chooses a list between all forms of Revavroom)

    Some Trainer Bosses will also try to replace commonly generated moves that are detrimental to them, list is as follows:

    Blue's Ho-oh (If Sky Attack spawns, replace with Brave Bird)

    Blue's Pidgeot (Pidgeot will always spawn with Hurricane)

    Red's Blastoise (Blastoise will always spawn Water Pulse)

    Steven's Metagross (If Psychic spawns, replace with Psychic Fangs)

    Giovanni's Articuno / Zapdos / Moltres (Will try to prioritize Air Slash on Articuno / Moltres, Zapdos will try to prioritize Hurricane)
    ^{_{Fun fact, Zapdos somehow doesn't get Air Slash but the other two do.}}

    Ghetsis' Hydreigon / Iron Jugulis (If Outrage spawns, replace with Dragon Pulse)

    Lusamine's Nihilego (If Head Smash spawns, replace with Power Gem)
