New Feature: Achievements

When completing certain tasks inside of Pokemon Tectonic, you will now unlock Achievements! These are maintained between saves, so you’ll only ever have to complete them once on a given device. Some achievements will be hidden until either accomplished or until you’ve reached the credits at least once. The Achievements List can be viewed from the main menu or the Game Info menu in-game. 3.2 will launch with 30 achievements. More might be added in future updates.

New Feature: Binocular Spots

Throughout Makya you will now be able to find spots where viewing binoculars have been set up for use by the public. When you interact with them, you will receive a preview of a northern part of the current area. You can move this viewing window around, up to 6 tiles west or east, and up to 3 tiles north or south.

Binocular spots can be found in the following areas:

Eleig River Crossing
Eleig Stretch
Frostflow Farms
Canal Desert
Split Peaks
Kilna Ascent

New Feature: Poké X-Ray

The Poké X-Ray is a new tool item which can be used to view the teams of nearby trainers. It’s granted out by Professor Tamarind before you leave Casaba Villa for the mainland. Saves that are already past that point will automatically receive their item upon conversion to 3.2

Content Changes

Nora’s Quest

Behind a locked door in the Makyan Capitol Building, you can find a library containing Nora, a rowdy young trainer intent on deciphering an ancient Makyan myth…
This new quest will add a previously unavailable legendary Pokemon to the game
The quest is post-Tournament only

New Boss Loot

Added the Magnetic Gauntlet, a passive tool item, as a new reward from the Avatar of Zeraora. The Magnetic Gauntlet prevents you from losing the first missed PokeBall you throw in each wild battle.

Saves that have already defeated the Avatar of Zeraora will receive this item upon conversion to 3.2.0

Added the Cell Booster, a passive tool item, as a new reward from the Avatar of Zygarde. The Cell Booster causes your player character to move 50% faster when walking, running, biking, or surfing.

Saves that have already defeated the Avatar of Zygarde will receive this item upon conversion to 3.2.0
Gave the Zygarde Cube the ability to change Zygarde’s form directly from base form to 50% form, or vice versa.

Added the Rusted Compass, a new tool item, as a new reward from the Avatars of Zacian and Zamazenta. Activating the Rusted Compass will tell you the lootable item which is closest to you in your current location, and give a hint as to how far away it is.

Saves that have already defeated the Avatars of Zacian and Zamazenta will receive this item upon conversion to 3.2.0

Collection Rewards Changes

Reworked Tribes-based rewards. There are now only two rewards for collecting lots of members of the same tribe, given at 15 species and 30 species. (Previously, there were 3 rewards, given at 10, 20, and 40).
Added area-based Collection Rewards for 20 different areas that previously didn’t have any. These are areas that only have one encounter zone, and so were previously deemed too fiddly for this system back when it worked differently.
Added large rewards for collecting all species in the Velenz Menagerie and in the Ocean Fishing Contest.
Area-based Collection Rewards scale their reward with how far they are in the game. The categories are Casaba Island, Pre-Surf, and Post-Surf

Add a ledge on the small path on the east side of the Split Peaks that could let you move between the north and south parts of the map, so it can only be used going south

Added two new interiors: Bogdan Concrete Company, and Bence’s House

Ocean Fishing Contest Changes

Map completely redone:

Encounter zones are now visible, and split into Puddle and Active Water encounters.

Vanya:

Alondra:

Sang:

Jovan:

User Interface Changes

Move Outcome Predictors

The predicted effectiveness of a move selected in the Fight Menu now appears above the foe's head, rather than awkwardly stuffed in the bottom right square.

For moves with scaling base power, like Hunt Down, the predicted base power will also be shown.

MasterDex Changes

Reworked the info page:

Reworked the stats page:

On the forms page, can toggle whether or not the sprites shown are shiny:

Reworked the Level Move page:

Reworked the Tutor Moves page (now called the Other Moves page):

Can now press the Special key (Defaults to D) to cycle between sorting the moves on the Other Moves page by Name, Base Power, or Type

The above screenshot shows the sorting by Base Power!

Removed the ability to sort by Growth Rate in the MasterDex
The areas page now lists the encounter chance of the species in that location

Options Changes

Added a UI option that lets you skip evolution animations
Added an option that makes Party Showcase screens leave off your player name
Split “Speed Options” into their own category, and placed that at the top of the option categories list

Trading Changes

When viewing your PC to select a Pokémon to trade away, Pokémon that can't be used for that trade are faded out:

Battle Message Changes

When a Pokemon falls asleep, a brief explanation of what sleep does is given (in the same style as the other statuses)
Status explanations are now skipped if the “Status Effect Msgs” setting is turned off
The lengthy explanation given when a poisoned Pokemon’s poison worsens is shortened when the “Status Effect Msgs” setting is turned off.

Added an entry popup for the Breakthrough ability
The accuracy doubling effect of Gravity is now listed when Gravity is set

Donation Box Changes

Donation boxes can no longer be renamed

The default name and wallpaper now look as follows:

Accessed by talking to Alondra, the PokEstate Caretaker, inside one of your PokEstate plots.

Other UI Changes

Reworked how Origin Ore based evolutions work. When leveling up or pressing the “Evolve” button in the party when beyond the level threshold, if you have an Origin Ore in your bag, a prompt will activate that asks you if you wish to spend an Origin Ore. If so, the Pokemon will undergo its Hisuian evolution.

If the Pokemon has a non-Hisuian evolution it also meets the level requirements for, that will take place instead if you either have no Origin Ore, or if you say “No” to the prompt about using it.

Added a confirmation prompt when using a Stink Bomb that tells you how many trainers it will affect, and allows you to decline to use it
Added a sound effect and a particle effect when deploying a Stink Bomb
Tweaked the trainers in the sixth gym. The default option when you’re asked to give over the item is now “No.” Added a missing message that states that you give over the item, when you do so.
The Controls Tutorial at the beginning of starting a new save is no longer optional.
100% accuracy is now grayed out on move info displays

Adding a clue about the Prizca Sewers
Removing the route segment between Velenz and the Barren Crater, but adding one between The Shelf and the Barren Crater
Adding a new map element that appears once you’ve discovered the Tempest Realm

Added a new tutorial popup after you catch your 2nd Pokemon explaining the mentor mechanic
Talking to a trainer's follower Pokémon in the overworld will let you know what item it's holding, if any
Tweaked the wording of abilities that double your speed when using certain kinds of moves (e.g. Swift Stomps) to be more clear

Added visual details on the Region Map for Whitebloom Town, Highland Lake, Frostflow Farms, and Sweetrock Harbor
TMs no longer display with a number, but only with their move name (e.g. “TM Protect”)

TMs, however, are ordered by their order in items_machine_order.txt, which groups similar moves together

Added a sprite for the Ancient Sea Water item
“-dev” is now appended to the version number shown on Party Showcases when the player is on a dev version

The leftovers items that are lootable from plates across Makya now sparkle with a new particle effect
When storing a newly acquired Pokemon, if the box that’s currently selected in the PC is full, will now store that Pokemon in the next available box after the selected one rather than starting over at Box 1
The scientist in the LuxTech Battle Labs who grants rewards for MasterDex completion now states your completion percent when you talk to her
Slightly desaturated the backgrounds for the party showcase screen so that it’s easier to read
Removed the “Attempting to apply your Randomizer rules…” message from starting a randomizer that mostly just confused people
When multiple stat step changes are being applied to a Pokemon at the same time, all step changes of the same amount are lumped together. E.g. “Pikachu’s Attack and Defense were lowered by 2 steps!” rather than listing those in two separate messages.
On the pause menu, MasterDex, MoveDex, and Battle Guide are now grouped together into a button called “Documentation”, taking the former MasterDex spot. The “Game Info” button is now called “Game State” instead.
The “Guide” button in battles is now replaced with the “Docs” button, which also links to your choice of the MasterDex, Movedex, and Battle Guide.
Streamlined move learning messages:

Removed the “1, 2, 3… … … Ta-da!” message when replacing a move with another when leveling up (was already removed from tutoring)
Removed the “[Pokemon] did not learn [move].” message when you decline to learn a move

Mechanics Changes

Gym Leader Changes

Gym leader mechanics rework

Gym leader fights no longer grant you the choice between a basic and full team. The first 4 gyms are now 5 Pokemon teams, and the last 4 gyms are now 6 Pokemon teams.
Modulating the difficulty of gym fights now comes down exclusively to the Tarot Amulet. To this end, the interaction with Imogene in Casaba Villa where she gives you the Tarot Amulet has been changed to be harder to miss.
Cursed fights now feature more team changes to increase their difficulty compared to the non-Cursed fight.
There is no longer any reward from perfecting the gym fight. The sequence where you are given a Chamber Key is now triggered by defeating the Cursed fight.

Prizca West Gym (Gym 5) is now always a double battle against both Bence and Zoe
Helena’s “Spikes” curse no longer will place a layer of spikes on a turn where those spikes were removed.
Replaced Victoire’s curse. Now grants each of her battlers a 2nd item.

Ability Changes

Reworked Wishmaker (Jirachi’s signature ability). Now passively grants all active battlers on the field (including itself) guaranteed activation of their moves’ random added effects
Heartless (Cacturne’s signature ability) can now overheal it

Adaptive Moves

Adaptive move category. Moves in this category are Physical when the user has higher Attack than Sp. Atk, and Special when the user has higher Sp. Atk than Attack.

The list of moves turned Adaptive:

Facade

All instances of Hard Feelings replaced with Facade

Retaliate
Secret Power
Covet

All instances of Ransack replaced with Covet

Hold Back

Gourmand (A. Raticate’s signature ability) now also grants the Gluttony effect (pinch berries trigger at half health rather than 25%).

Move Changes

Added two new Normal-type utility moves:

Cloudbreak, a physical Normal-type move that clears weathers. 90 BP.
Dissipation, a special Normal-type move that destroys rooms. 90 BP.
Both have been given very wide distribution among Normal-types

The health loss from Belly Drum now rounds up rather than rounds down. This prevents a weird interaction where Pokemon with even total HP values would be able to activate Sitrus Berry with Belly Drum from full HP, but Pokemon with odd values would not. Now, both can.
Battlers who are asleep can no longer be forced to use moves (except if those moves can normally be used while asleep). This is relevant for abilities like Above It All, and moves like Hive Mind.
Cut Crush Grip and Wring Out.
Cut Summer Daze
Reduced the PP of Oneiromancy (M. Furret’s signature move) from 10 to 4.
“Rampaging” moves (e.g. Thrash) now target the closest of multiple possible targets, instead of choosing at random.
The move Spotlight now uses a (new) targeting style called simply “Ally’. This allows you to target any ally, even a far away one in a triple battle.
Reworked Shred Shot and Shrapnel. No longer have recoil equal to 33% of your current HP, rather have recoil equal to 10% of your max HP (like Life Orb.)
Added Fragmentation, a special Steel-type move at 115 BP which has the Life Orb downside.
Dream Feast (Hypno’s signature move) can now overheal with its drain.
Thorn Rattle (Maractus’ signature move) increased from 75 to 100 BP
Hard Place (Pteroflyte’s signature move) now has a base power cap at 200.
Classical Physics (Flapple’s signature move) buffed from 40 to 60 BP
Cut Destrier’s Whim (Rapidash signature move)
Cut Banish (Druddigon signature move)
Steam Eruption (Volcanion’s signature move) from 95% to 100% accuracy
Toxic Taste gains the Biting move tag
Cut Safeguard
Added Natural Protection, a status Bug-type move which creates a field effect for 4 turns that halves the damage it’s side takes from non-damage sources (e.g. status, hazards, recoil)
Reduced Baton Pass’s pp from 30 to 5, and reduced its priority to -6.
Stockpile raises defensive stats by 2 steps rather than 1
Added Wyrmwounding, an 80 BP Physical Dragon-type move with a 30% chance to leech the target.
Added Brain Freeze, an 80 BP Physical Psychic-type move with a 30% chance to frostbite the target.
Added Iceberg Bash, a 130 BP Physical Ice-type move which lower’s the users Attack stat by 4 steps.
Added Rock Out, a 50 BP Physical Rock-type “Dance” move which raises the user’s Attack by 2 steps.
Scorching Sands BP from 80 to 90, burn chance from 30% to 10%.

Item Changes

Mirror Herb reworked to now copy all of the stats of a multiple stat boost
Paradox Herb now waits for all stat boosts of a multiple stat boost effect to finish before resetting the foe’s stats

Happiness Changes

Added the Soothe Charm, a new passive key item. The Soothe Charm doubles the happiness your Pokemon get from walking around, leveling up in battle, or being interacted with. It also doubles the happiness gained by Furfrou when they are groomed.

A Soothe Charm replaces the 10 Ultra Balls found behind a Dynamite Rock in Repora Forest.

Saves that have already looted those 10 Ultra Balls will receive this item upon conversion to 3.2.0

The Sweetheart item now increases the Pokemon’s happiness by 5, rather than 1, when eaten
Interacting with a Pokemon now gives that Pokemon 3 happiness, rather than 1

Candy Machine Rebalance

The cost of candy batches has been reduced at all levels, but especially at higher levels.

Level cap	EXP Amount	Old Cost	New Cost
15	1,250	300	250
20	2,250	550	450
25	4,000	1,000	750
30	6,000	1,500	1,150
35	8,000	2,000	1,500
40	12,000	3,000	2,150
45	16,000	4,000	2,750
50	20,000	5,000	3,500
55	24,000	6,000	4,000
60	28,000	7,000	4,750
65	32,000	8,000	5,250
70	40,000	10,000	6,500

Other Mechanics Changes

All Pokemon species now have the “Medium” growth rate.
Did a pass making sure that each basic weather setting move is available on at least 2 pokemon on Casaba Island
Lowered "common" wild item chance from 50% to 35%
Raised "uncommon" wild item chance from 5% to 10%
Raised "rare" held item chance from 1% to 2%
The Rain weather renamed to Rainstorm
Reduced the price of Ability Capsules from 1500 to 1000
Added a new phone call that can trigger once you’ve registered 12 Pokemon in the MasterDex but before you’ve had the PokEstate enabled. In this call, Alondra (the PokEstate Caretaker) explains the same things as in the cutscene at Feebas’ Fin, and enables the PokEstate for you. This makes Collection Rewards now available earlier in the game.
HP-based effects are now reduced against Avatars by that Avatar’s specific HP multiplier, rather than by a flat 1/6th for all Avatars.

This will mainly cause legendary Avatars to take less damage from statuses and gain less health from healing, and cause summoned Avatars to take much more damage from statuses and gain much more health from healing.

Rayquaza will now change into its Delta form when it enters battle with Dragon Ascent learned
Overflow EXP from the use of EXP candies is now stored in the EXP-EZ Dispenser

Modding and Debug Changes

Introduced the PBS Extensions feature. If you place a PBS file (e.g. “pokemon.txt”) inside a plugin, it will be hot loaded at runtime. This only works for defining new content, and will not work for trying to edit existing content.

This currently supports:

pokemon.txt
abilities.txt
moves.txt
regionaldexes.txt
trainertypes.txt
trainers.txt

Added files in the --MOD TEMPLATE-- plugin that are examples of using this system.

Introduced new helper methods for door-based teleports
Introduced a new, very flexible, helper method for healing stations and similar
Added a trigger for loading new BattleHandlers after Game Data has been loaded.

This allows you to, e.g. set up code to automatically create a BattlerHandler for every Ability with a certain flag.

This is how the entry text for MoldBreaking abilities is handled!

Avatar definitions now support version numbers, thereby allowing there to be more than one different Avatar defined for a single species.
Changed how Avatar graphics are organized inside the Graphics/Pokemon folder.
The “Settings” module has been moved from inside the RPGMaker Scripts Database to a new “_Settings” plugin.
Restored the Generation property in Tectonic’s base pokemon.txt.
Added debug commands to change a pokemon's hue shift or shade shift. They can shift much more than the game does by default.
Species sprite positioning is now defined in pokemon_metrics.txt rather than pokemon.txt (like how it is in Essentials v20 forwards)
Added a “TypeSetting” flag for items like Crystal Veil
Added a new translation debug command which only exports text which has no translation in the currently set language
