- Added all of the Pokémon with regional forms! This also includes their evolutions if they have one.
- Additionally added the lines of the Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Legends Arceus.
- Some of the evolutionary methods of these Pokémon were altered to make getting their evolved forms easier if they are Partner Pokémon.
Spoiler
- An ordinary Stantler now evolves into Wyrdeer after using Psyshield Bash 30 times, while Partner Stantler uses the original evolution method in just knowing the move.
- An ordinary Hisuian Qwilfish now evolves into Overqwil after using Barb Barrage 30 times, while Partner Hisuian Qwilfish uses the original evolution method in just knowing the move.
- Regional forms of Pokémon that evolve in a completely different way that their original variants now use the same evolutionary method that their original variants use if they are Partner Pokémon (ex. Partner Alolan Sandshrew now evolves into Partner Alolan Sandslash by level-up instead of using an Ice Stone, sparing you the trouble of having to search for one). Be forewarned, though, this only applies to some of them, not all of them.
- Ability errors in Partner Pokémon have been fully corrected, so now every Partner Pokémon has the correct Abilities. This excludes purposely changed Abilities.
- Changed the Partner Mudkip line's Hidden Ability from Damp to the much more useful Sand Force, allowing the line to be very effective in sandstorm teams in addition to already being amazing rain sweepers.
- Added the Tinkatink line! Replacing Pickpocket, now you can cause havoc with the Partner line's new Hidden Ability: Huge Power! (Tinkaton gets Guts instead because it's funny)
- Every Partner Pokémon available so far, including the newly introduced ones, have received behavioral updates. They now have their behaviors from the mods they originate from, but those who haven't yet received original behaviors received some changes to declutter them.
- Some Legendary and Mythical Pokémon have gotten additional requirements to get their Partner flag.
More Spoilers
- Lugia now requires the Legendary Birds (Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres), specifically the Kantonian variants.
- Ho-Oh now requires the Legendary Beasts (Raikou, Entei, and Suicune).
- Rayquaza now requires Groudon and Kyogre.
- The Pokémon of Myth (Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina) now require the Lake Guardians (Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit).
- Arceus now requires the Pokémon of Myth.
- Regigigas now requires all five of the Legendary Titans (the Regis).
- Keldeo now requires the other members of the Swords of Justice (Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion).
- Landorus now requires the other Forces of Nature (Tornadus, Thundurus, and Enamorus).
- Zygarde now requires Xerneas and Yveltal.
- Pecharunt now requires the Loyal Three (Okidogi, Munkidori, Fezandipiti).
- Keep in mind that the original requirements are still present and have not changed, and also keep in mind that the required Pokémon must have the Partner flag themselves for it to count.
EVEN MORE SPOILERS!
- Added in a special variant of Partner Wooper, obtainable by maxing out the EVs in both HP and Attack and giving it the nickname "Woop_Woop" (yes, that's how it's supposed to be spelled). Anyone who has seen SmallAnt1's video titled "How to crush Pokémon Platinum with a single Woopy Boi" should recognize this little boi.
- Added Partner variants for the Ultra Beasts and Paradox Pokémon.
- Their new stats still follow their numerical themes.
- Partner Ultra Beasts still only have prime number stats.
- Naganadel's base Speed stat still follows its theme of being a prime power.
- Ancient Paradox Pokémon still only have odd-numbered base stats.
- Future Paradox Pokémon still only have even numbered base stats.
- Partner Ultra Beasts still only have prime number stats.
- Ridable Ultra Beasts and Paradox Pokémon can also now be ridden as their Partner variants.
- Their new stats still follow their numerical themes.
- Finally fixed the moveset errors for the Partner variants with regional forms. Now they no longer learn moves they shouldn't have, and same with their regional variants, now following their actual movesets.
- Alolan Decidueye no longer learns Triple Arrows, Hisuian Decidueye's signature move.
- Hisuian Decidueye also no longer learns Spirit Shackle, Alolan Decidueye's signature move.
- Johtonian Typhlosion no longer learns Infernal Parade, Hisuian Typhlosion's signature move.
- Unovan Samurott no longer learns Ceaseless Edge, Hisuian Samurott's signature move.
- Kantonian Slowbro no longer learns Side Shell Arm, Galarian Slowbro's signature move.
- Johtonian Slowking no longer learns Eerie Spell, Galarian Slowking's signature move.
- Kantonian Raichu no longer learns Psychic, which Alolan Raichu can learn.
- Alolan Decidueye no longer learns Triple Arrows, Hisuian Decidueye's signature move.
- Pikachu now learns Volt Tackle after gaining the Partner aspect.
Spoiler
- Removed Dragon Pulse from Poipole's level up learnset. Come on, I can't let you get a Naganadel THAT easily. It now learns Dragon Pulse after gaining the Partner aspect, incentivising you to actually train it up as a Poipole instead of just evolving it immediately as soon as you get it, but it can still learn Dragon Pulse through TM and Move Tutor so you can still get a Naganadel without the Partner aspect.
- Added Partner variants for every Legendary Pokémon.
- Just like Partner Magikarp and Partner Abra, Partner Cosmog and Partner Cosmoem also now learn attacking moves so that they can actually do something in battle.
- Mega-capable Partner Pokémon now have the "Dynamax Blocked" flag to prevent them from being capable of Dynamaxing (even though it isn't in the game yet) so that you don't end up getting into a situation where you have a Dynamaxed Mega Partner Pokémon.
- This also applies to Pokémon that have Mega-like transformations (excluding Battle Bond) so they also can't use Dynamax when they use said transformations.
- Partner Mew now has a slightly increased walking speed than it did before.
Side note: If you're using a mod that allows you to ride your Pokémon, like CobblemonRider, you may have noticed that you can't ride Partner Pokémon, meanwhile you could with the non-Partner variants. Don't worry, I've taken that into account, so I've added in an separate download with an edited config that also supplies the Partner variants, allowing you to ride the Partner variants of your Pokémon!
But still, I would highly suggest you still support the original mod instead of this datapack. I only added Partner variants to it, and made that available for everyone to use in conjunction with this datapack.
- To insert this, you need to do the same thing you did to install this datapack into your world, except you can just insert the config into your world's folder. Don't put the config file in the datapack folder, otherwise it won't work!
- Added Partner variants for all Mythical Pokémon. Type: Null and Silvally also come included.
- Yes, this means Phione can now be slightly more useful!
- Meltan now has an evolution method.
- This evolution method also applies for Partner Meltan as well.
Spoiler
- To evolve Meltan into Melmetal, it must be at least level 60, then use an Iron Block on it while it's holding another Iron Block.
- Added Pokédex entries for all the new available Partner Pokémon. Mew and Diancie also get Partner Pokédex entries as well.
- With the exception of Mew, all Partner Pokémon with more than two available forms only get one (technically two) Dex Entries regardless of form.
- Removed the ash_cap aspect now that I know how aspects that aren't true or false work.
- Partner Pikachu and Partner Eevee now learn their exclusive Move Tutor moves by level-up.
- This decision was solely made because I felt it necessary to include them.
Spoiler
- Partner Pikachu wearing a cap cannot learn Partner Pikachu's exclusive moves, but if it already knows Zippy Zap, Floaty Fall, or Splishy Splash when the cap is put on, it still keeps those moves.
- Changed how the "specialty" aspect works.
- Partner Mew now has access to six additional "variants" of itself, which is just Partner Mew but with modified stats. You can switch between these variants by giving Mew one of the Power Items, then "evolving" it, just like you would with any other Pokémon to give it the Partner aspect (unlike all other Pokémon that require items to evolve, this will NOT consume the item).
- You also don't need to revert Mew back to its regular Partner variant every time, you can just change its stats again on the fly by simply repeating the process with a different Power Item.
- As compensation for this, Partner Mew's regular base stats are now 115 across most of the board, with HP instead being base 125.
- You can revert Partner Mew back to its original Partner variant by using an Echo Shard on it.
- This was done semi-randomly for three reasons. The first reason being that you wouldn't really want to put Mew back into its regular Partner variant, so using a finite resource seems like a good idea, the second reason being that since Echo Shards are really rare (only found in ancient cities), this wouldn't be a fair investment, therefore leading one to not use it to revert Mew back to its technically weakest Partner variant, and the third reason being that, again, you can just change its stats by giving it a different Power Item and evolving it, so why waste an Echo Shard when there's a better, less expensive, and much less limited way to change its stats?
- If you are going to alter Partner Mew's stats, you have to recall it first. The game crashes if you have it go through the evolution animation. No, this is not a joke.
- Partner Mew now has access to six additional "variants" of itself, which is just Partner Mew but with modified stats. You can switch between these variants by giving Mew one of the Power Items, then "evolving" it, just like you would with any other Pokémon to give it the Partner aspect (unlike all other Pokémon that require items to evolve, this will NOT consume the item).
Spoiler
- The reason this happens is because Mew still has the item after the evolution animation finishes, and since all Pokémon that evolve using a specific hold item lose it when it evolves, Mew still having the item causes the game to crash.
MORE SPOILERS!!!
- There is a secret extra Partner Mew variant called the Special variant. No more info will be given on that, but see if you can discover how to unlock it. But NO CHEATING! Discover it on your own!
-
With the exceptions of Partner Pikachu and Partner Eevee, Partner Pokémon are now capable of evolving.
- Partner Pikachu can now gain the ash_cap aspect by using the Ash Cap on it.
-
Fixed incorrect coding with some Partner Pokémon (the Jangmo-o line, Slowpoke, etc).
-
Added Battle Bond Greninja. Ash-Greninja has its own stats despite being unobtainable.
-
Added alternative evolution methods to certain Pokémon.
-
In addition to their usual evolutionary method of being traded while holding a Metal Coat, Partner Onix and Partner Scyther can now evolve into Steelix and Scizor respectively by either using a Link Cable on it while holding a Metal Coat, or by using a Metal Coat on it while it's at least level 35.
-
In addition to their usual evolutionary method of needing to be traded (or by using a Link Cable), both Partner Haunter and Partner Kadabra can now evolve into Gengar and Alakazam at level 40, skipping the trade altogether.
-
In addition to its usual evolutionary method of being traded while holding a King's Rock, Kantonian Slowpoke can now evolve into Johtonian Slowking by either using a Link Cable on it while it's holding a King's Rock, or by using a King's Rock on it while it's at least level 37.

-
First partner Pokémon with the Partner aspect now learn Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, and Hydro Cannon (depending on their primary type, of course) when they either gain the Partner aspect or evolve into their final stages if their pre-evolutions already have the Partner aspect.
- Added the pre-evolutions of all the currently available Partner Pokémon. However, be warned, just like the Partner Pikachu and the Partner Eevee from the Let's Go games, they're currently incapable of evolving if they have the Partner aspect.
- This will be fixed in the next update so they will be capable of evolving, though don't expect Pikachu and Eevee to be changed.
- Both Partner Magikarp and Partner Abra also learn moves relatively quickly and gain access to additional moves so they can actually do something.
- Partner Glaceon's secondary Ability has been changed from Slush Rush to Competitive.
- Partner Mew's base Special Attack has been increased from 125 to 150, and its Attack has been decreased from 105 to 80.
- Currently planning on giving Partner Mew more aspects that allows you to change its stats at any time to fit whatever role you want it to. Once this happens, the change will be reverted.
- Added Partner variants of Ditto, the Nincada line, and any split evolutions of currently available Partner Pokémon.
- Those being Kleavor (Scyther's alternate evolution), Froslass (Female Snorunt's alternate evolution), and Slowking (Slowpoke's alternate evolution; Galarian form is included).
- Partner Froslass now has Infiltrator as a secondary standard Ability.
- Fixed the flight speed of all available Partner Pokémon (including the newly added ones) so that they don't all fly at the exact same speed.
- Equippable Partner Pokémon now give potion effects.
