  • Fixed Trading in MyBoy! (Thanks Erd)

  • Gave Coiled up to Seviper
  • Arbok is now a Poison/Dark Type Pokemon
  • Neutralizing Gas now works but with a catch, rather than working like in official games now it gives gastro acid effect to every pokemon on the field so some abilities will still work like those that activate when sent out, but the effect will still be active when the pokemon leaves the field unlike swsh
  • Parental Bond now works but also has a catch, it hits the foe a second time and does the same damage as in the official games, but the second hit does not have a secondary effect, it does not get affected by iron barbs and just does plain damage(it also bypasses substitutes)
  • Reworked Rooted, Illuminate, Color Change, Magnetic Body, and Battery so they don’t bug out in doubles
  • Color change now gives the pokemon the type of the opponent rather than changing it, for example before this update if keckleon was sent out at the same time the foe was a gengar it became pure ghost type but after this keckleon becomes normal/ghost so it can use its STAB moves without worrying about the oponent while having lick(its signature move) as a second STAB no matter the second type
