Hello Pixelmon Development Team,

I am a big fan of Pixelmon and truly appreciate all the hard work you put into the mod. I have a suggestion that I believe could enhance the gameplay experience, especially for players who enjoy the Ash-Greninja form.

Would it be possible to add an option in version 1.12.2 that would allow Greninja to start battles already in its Ash-Greninja form? I understand that the transformation currently occurs after Greninja defeats an opposing Pokémon, and I’m not suggesting changing this mechanic. Instead, I’m proposing the addition of an option that would let players begin battles with this form right from the start.

I believe this would be a great addition that would provide more variety and options for players, especially for those who want to experience this form without waiting for it to evolve during battle.

Thank you very much for your time and for all the hard work you do!

Best regards,
Itay aka elady1

The Minecraft 1.12.2 versions of Pixelmon haven't received an update in 2 years now - since January 17, 2023 to be exact - and will not be receiving an update ever again. We've pushed updates to 1.16.5 for many months now and have alpha versions on 1.20.2 now, which is where all our focus is at the moment. There is no reason for us to work on old updates anymore.

Aside from that, this isn't an update that would be made to the PokeEditor and realistically, this isn't something that the Pixelmon team would ever implement. If you had the skill, however, it could be made with a sidemod via changes to its Battlebond ability and maybe a datapack to its species file.
