Partner Pokémon

This data pack takes otherwise normal Pokémon and alters their stats by increasing them to make battles easier. In addition, you can choose whether they have access to these boosted stats or not using the /pokeedit command. Example: /pokeedit 1 partner=true

This is solely inspired by the Partner mechanic from Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, and is planned to be expanded to all Pokémon instead of just those two.

• Added the Partner aspect to the game! A Pokémon with this aspect active will have an increased base stat total! More powerful Pokémon, like the Legendaries, pseudo-legendaries, Mythicals, Ultra Beasts, and Paradox Pokémon have a BST increase of 100 points, while all other Pokémon have a BST increase of 110 points! (This is solely for balancing)

  • Starting in v1.2.5, you can give this aspect to your Pokémon without needing to use commands by reaching maximum friendship with it, then "evolving" it.
  • The Mega Evolutions of these Pokémon are taken into account and have all received a modified base stat total as well.
  • Some Partner Pokémon also get Ability changes or gain an additional Ability!
    • Partner Jolteon gains access to the Ability Steadfast.
    • Partner Flareon gains access to the Ability Sheer Force.
    • Partner Vaporeon gains access to the Ability Rain Dish.
    • Partner Espeon gains access to the Ability Telepathy (originally Magic Guard).
    • Partner Umbreon gains access to the Ability Unnerve. Partner Umbreon's Hidden Ability was also changed from Inner Focus to Intimidate.
    • Partner Leafeon gains access to the Ability Infiltrator.
    • Partner Glaceon gains access to the Ability Competitive (originally Slush Rush).
    • Partner Sylveon gains access to the Ability Friend Guard.
    • Mega Gallade's Ability was changed from Inner Focus to Sharpness.
    • The Beldum line had its Hidden Ability changed from Light Metal to a much more beneficial Ability in Heavy Metal.
    • Partner Froslass receives Infiltrator as a secondary standard Ability.
  • Partner Pokémon that can ride on your shoulder give beneficial potion effects as long as they remain on your shoulder!

• Starting in v1.3, Partner Pikachu and Partner Eevee can learn their exclusive moves from the Let's Go games (except for Pika Papow and Veevee Volley respectively) via level-up.

• If you are using the Extra Eeveelutions mod, the unofficial Eeveelutions have also been taken into account and have all received a modified base stat total.

• Starting in v1.4, if you are using the CobblemonRider mod in your instance/modpack, there is a separate download that gives you an updated config that features Partner Pokémon, allowing you to ride them as you would with their regular non-Partner variants. To use it, download the extra "Rider config" zip file in any version starting from v1.4, copy the config file within it, and paste it into your world's folder. Do not put it into your resource pack or data pack folder, they won't work if you try it. Only use this if you have that mod in your modpack.

Currently, 504 out of 1,025 of the official Pokémon are available as Partner Pokémon, plus a few extras from other mods.

• Starting in v1.8, Partner Pokémon can now use their species' exclusive Z-Moves, and Mega Showdown is now a requirement to use the datapack.

Current issues:

• Regional variants are bugged, so they do not gain the Partner aspect for whatever reason.
• Gigantamax Partner Pokémon are currently unable to use their G-Max Moves. They do still have their Gigantamax forms, though.

Planned:

• Add more available Partner Pokémon.
• Fix the bug with regional variants.
• Fix the G-Max Move issue.

Warning: DO NOT put Partner Pokémon into a teambuilder. They will NOT show up at all. If you're going to put them into a teambuilder, disable the Partner aspect first. This also does NOT have compatability with the Cobblemon Transporter, so please don't try to place Partner Pokémon in there.

To use this data pack, you must insert it into your world's data pack folder. For those who don't know how to do this, all you need to do is go into the "saves" folder of the instance you're using, select the world you want to put the data pack on, open the "datapacks" folder, then drop the download in there. No need to unzip it.
