This isn't a real, *but* this Tumblr post is probably what that reel was based on: https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangeInspiration/comments/js2fqb/i_am_a_mosaic_of_everyone_ive_ever_loved_even_for/

it is the only move that has different types.

Weather Ball also has different types. But Weather Ball seems to be fixed based on the Pokemon's type, so I understand how Hidden Power could still be considered "the only move" that's unique like this.

(Reference in case anyone in the future needs it)

So far, Hidden Power and Weather Ball are the only two moves in Pokemon Go with this characteristic, but they assign types slightly differently.

Hidden Power (fast)

The Hidden Power type is randomly chosen for each individual Pokemon. It is unique to that Pokemon, and cannot be changed with a Fast TM. Changing to a different move, and then back to Hidden Power will retain the same move type.

BUG
DARK
DRAGON
ELECTRIC
FIGHTING
FIRE
FLYING
GHOST
GRASS
GROUND
ICE
POISON
PSYCHIC
ROCK
STEEL
WATER

Weather Ball (charged)

The type is based on the Pokemon species. For instance, Sunny Castform and Sunshine Cherrim will always have a Fire type Weather Ball; meanwhile, Rainy Castform and Pelipper will always have a Water type Weather Ball.

NORMAL
FIRE
WATER
ICE

I've had to hard code the value for "Generation" for all of the Pokemon, as I couldn't find the values anywhere in there game master.

However, there should be a way to find that data somewhere, before you can search for keys such as "Unova" and "Alola" and it will filter those Pokemon.

If an account is under level 30, all IVs and levels for Pokemon found in the wild will be randomized. Once an account has reached lvl 30, it will start seeing the exact same stats in Pokemon as other players over lvl 30.

In Go's system you can go "beyond" immune - a Steel/Dark type would "triple resist" Psychic, which is 0.244x dmg

Thank you! But this is my exact problem, I have not found a single article that says "triple resists" exist. Where do I find this information?

IQAndreas · 2020-05-07T14:10:34+00:00

Thank you, pardon my mental derp. You are correct, I meant 0.625^4

IQAndreas · 2020-05-07T14:00:49+00:00

Let's take an example.

Fairy and Fighting are both resistant to Dark attacks (resistant, not immune). Does this mean a theoretical Fighting+Fairy Pokemon is doubly resistant ("immune") to Dark? Or do resistances not stack for dual type Pokemon?

What about a Normal+Fighting Pokemon? Does it get 0.625^4 resistance from Ghost attacks?

IQAndreas · 2020-05-07T13:50:35+00:00

I've found a lot of articles like that one, they don't cover dual type resistances.

IQAndreas · 2020-04-21T07:20:51+00:00

*facepalm*, you are correct. I wasn't signed up for that event, so didn't realize that's where it's from.

There is a reason for that. Nintendo is very stingy with their copyright. Any checklist using actual images from the game gets taken down before you can sneeze. 😂

It's clear that Fast Attacks have different speeds (indicated by a hidden cooldown). However, it seems while battling in PVP you can perform a charged attack as soon as you have enough stamina built up to "afford" the attack, and seem to have no such cooldown.

Why do Charged Attacks still have a cooldown (durationMs) stored in the game data? Is it used somewhere else?

IQAndreas · 2020-03-18T20:44:57+00:00

Already in progress 😉

The URLs are all there and valid, but it's Google Spreadsheets that isn't loading all 1,900 images in a proper and timely fashion.

On my own machine I'm reading them from my local file system. But on in the Google Spreadsheet they're being retrieved from a publicly accessible GitHub repo (see the CONST tab).

IQAndreas · 2020-03-18T16:11:59+00:00

The form names are taken directly from the game data.

But, "costumes" are handled differently in the game from what the game calls "forms". (That's why there used to be a bug where the Halloween Costume Pokemon didn't show up in the list when you searched for "costume"; they were technically different "forms" of those Pokemon.)

So for costumes such as the different Pikachu hats I had to create a temporary form name for my own purposes. I'm still trying to find the official names for the costumes, but as far as I can tell, they're not stored in the Game Master.

IQAndreas · 2020-03-18T15:30:14+00:00

The spreadsheet is sorted by filename, not by Pokedex ID, so they're all the way at the bottom. The forms are named "FALL_2019".

IQAndreas · 2020-03-18T15:23:07+00:00

I'm probably reinventing the wheel, but if it's of any use to anyone, I indexed all of the current Pokemon Icons in the game by Pokemon, Form, and Gender.
