The game seems to decide based on the id of the move (i.e. There doesn't appear to be any marker for the shadow moves in the move data. A significant difference is that XD has the Gen IV style physical/special split on shadow moves.Īlso of note is that all the shadow moves are simply recorded as normal type moves and the battle routine automatically calculates the move effectiveness as a shadow move (always neutral in colo super effective on non-shadow pokemon, not very effective on shadow pokemon in XD) when it detects a move that is meant to be a shadow move. The move data is pretty much the same in Colosseum and XD but differs slightly for a few bytes. I remember seeing a post on a forum somewhere where someone posted every Gen IV - VI move that was possible to remake using gen III effects so you can try searching for that if you want ideas. You can attempt to make new moves by mixing and matching the different move effects available and manipulating accuracy, damage etc. ** You will need to understand Part 1 of this tutorial before you can decompress the files used in any other parts**Įditing moves works pretty much like in the GBA games.
