Catch on Defeat

v1.6.1-1.5

What if…

…Pokémon could be captured when defeated, instead of via PokéBall?

Features

Spawn specific Pokémon that can be defeated in order to be caught, or set it so that everybody can be “caught” this way.
Optional confirmation screen when a defeated Pokémon wants to join your team.
Optionally heal Pokémon that join the party through this mechanic.
Optionally prevent regular captures, and make it so that Pokémon must be “caught” this way.
Optionally connect/disconnect individual events regarding the joins, including capture for accepted join and release for rejected joins.

Dependencies

Testing

With access to commands, run the following command in your world:

/pokespawn aipom catch_on_defeat=yes

Then, try throwing any old type of PokeBall at the Aipom that was spawned. By default, it will refuse to be caught and give you a feedback message saying you must defeat it to catch it. Get into battle with it, beat it up until it faints, and it’ll join your team (healed, by default).

Known Issues

As this uses Cobblemon Tim Core’s custom Pokémon properties logic, there is a known issue where loading up the first world in a single player session will not show the autocomplete for the custom Pokémon properties in commands. The property still works, it’s just the autocomplete that’s weird.
v1.6.1-1.5.0 had an overly-specific version requirement for Tim Core. Loosened it up to that or later.
