Partner Pokémon

This update was a long time coming. From the very first release of this datapack, there's been one major issue that stuck out more than all the others: the fact that Partner Pokémon could not use their species' exclusive Z-Moves. Well, what once was a nightmare can finally be laid to rest, because... Partner Pokémon can finally use their species' exclusive Z-Moves!

• Added Mimikyu, Rockruff, and Lycanroc. Now you can use their Z-Moves too along with all the others.
• Partner Mew now has a new signature move called Multi-Role Blast.
  • Multi-Role Blast: A 100 base power, 100% accuracy, Special Psychic-type move that has no secondary effects whatsoever if the move is not used by any variants of Partner Mew. However, if the move is used by any variant of Partner Mew, the move can hit Dark-types, ignores the target's evasion boosts, has a heightened chance for a critical hit, and has varying effects depending on the variant of Partner Mew.
  • If used by the standard variant, the move always scores a critical hit and raises the user's critical hit rate by one stage (only once per switch-in since it's Focus Energy's effect)
  • If used by the Bulky variant, the user recovers HP equal to half of the damage dealt.
  • If used by the Melee variant, the user's Attack is raised by one stage. Additionally, damage is calculated using Mew's Attack stat.
  • If used by the Resilient variant, the user's Defense is raised by one stage. Additionally, damage is calculated using Mew's Defense stat.
  • If used by the Ranged variant, the user's Sp. Atk is raised by one stage.
  • If used by the Resistant variant, the user's Sp. Def is raised by one stage. Additionally, damage is calculated using Mew's Sp. Def stat.
  • If used by the Speedy variant, the user's Defense is raised by one stage. Additionally, damage is calculated using Mew's Speed stat.
  • If used by the Special variant, one of the user's stats (chosen randomly) gets boosted by one stage. Additionally, the user's critical hit rate is boosted by one stage (again, only once per switch-in since it's Focus Energy's effect) and they regain HP equal to half of the damage dealt (essentially this effect combines all of the previous effects into one, since the Special variant is all of the other variants combined into one).

Changes: Most of these exclusive Z-Moves aren't like the ones you're familiar with.

• All of the exclusive Z-Moves, except for Guardian of Alola and Extreme Evoboost, now have additional effects, including the ones that did not have any previously. The ones that already had additional effects did keep them and were buffed regardless. Partner Pokémon using these Z-Moves additionally have a heightened chance for a critical hit, and ignore the target's type immunity and Ability to guarantee that their one-use-per-battle move can be used without a chance to fail.
  • Sinister Arrow Raid now traps the target on the field, just like Spirit Shackle. It also has a heightened chance to land a critical hit. If Partner Decidueye uses this move, the move will always be a critical hit.
  • Malicious Moonsault now ignores the target's defensive stat boosts, just like Darkest Lariat. It also raises the user's critical hit rate. If Partner Incineroar uses it, the critical hit rate is boosted even more.
  • Oceanic Operetta now cures the user of their non-volatile status conditions. If Partner Primarina uses it, their Trainer's entire party has their non-volatile status conditions cured.
  • Let's Snuggle Forever now reduces the target's stats by 2 stages, and the stats that get lowered change depending on which form Mimikyu is in. In Disguised form, the target's Defense, Sp. Def, and Speed are lowered, but in Busted form, the target's Attack, Sp. Atk, and Speed are lowered.
  • Pulverizing Pancake now breaks Reflect, Light Screen, and Aurora Veil. Splintered Stormshards also now breaks through the screens.
  • Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike now steals the target's stat boosts.
  • Clangorous Soulblaze now ignores the target's stat changes.
  • Searing Sunraze Smash and Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom now raise the user's stats by 1 stage while lowering the target's stats by 1 stage. If Partner Solgaleo, Partner Lunala, or Partner Necrozma (while fused, obviously) use these moves, the stat changes are doubled.
    • Searing Sunraze Smash raises the user's Attack and Defense while lowering the target's Defense and Sp. Atk.
    • Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom raises the user's Sp. Atk and Sp. Def while lowering the target's Sp. Def and Attack.
  • Light That Burns The Sky now raises the user's offensive stats by one stage and the user's defensive stats by two stages. Due to Partner Fused Necrozma being unable to Ultra Burst, the regular variant of Ultra Necrozma has the same effects as the Partner variant. Once this issue is resolved, the move will be fixed.
  • Stoked Sparksurfer now summons Electric Terrain in addition to paralyzing the target. Currently, due to an unknown bug, the Partner aspect has no effect on Alolan Raichu, so until the bug is fixed, regular Alolan Raichu has the extra effects that the Partner aspect would have given the Z-Move.
  • In addition to ignoring type immunities and Abilities, Catastropika now ignores redirection, flinches and paralyzes the target.
  • In addition to ignoring type immunities and Abilities, 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt now ignores redirection.
  • If Partner Mew is using Genesis Supernova, the move has varying effects depends on which variant of Partner Mew is using the move.
    • The standard variant always scores a critical hit.
    • The stat-specific variants (except for the Bulky variant) uses that stat to calculate damage, then boosts it by two stages.
    • The Special variant has all of the effects combined (except the stat boosts are one stage boosts instead of two). Pretty much just Radical Red Genesis Supernova combined with the official Genesis Supernova.

Other changes:

• Meltan's evolution method has been changed to match Mega Showdown's evolution method for Meltan.
• Fixed the stats of non-Partner Alolan Raichu (don't know how I possibly missed it since it's been released...).
• Changed the form names for Partner Mew's variants to shorten them. Also makes it much easier to understand and allows them to use Genesis Supernova.
  • Also changed the form names for Cap Pikachu's Partner variants to make it easier for them to be capable of using 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt.
• Due to all the new stuff this update has, from this point onward, Mega Showdown is now a required download.

Shoutout to the members of the Mega Showdown Discord for helping me finally get this update out!
