=== Can new moves be added? ===

The move list cannot be expanded at the moment, but ~~you can replace~~ some ~~of the~~ unused ~~moves (named [M:D1])~~. ~~Keep in mind that not all the [M:D1] moves~~ are ~~unused. Here’s a list with~~ the ~~known [M:D1] moves~~:

The move list cannot be expanded at the moment, but there's some unused move slots that can be replaced without any side effects. They are the following:

* 361: Excavate

* 362: Spin Slash

* 404: attack animation with no sound effect (safe to edit)

* 411: attack animation with no sound effect (safe to edit)

Line 132:

Line 130:

* 419: walking animation with no sound effect (safe to edit)

* 420: walking animation with no sound effect (safe to edit)

* 557: generic move sound effect (likely safe to edit, not confirmed)

* 558: generic move sound effect (likely safe to edit, not confirmed)

There's also a set of moves used for special purposes, which you can replace if you're certain their effect will never be called in your hack (for example, if you remove the Secret Bazaar, you can replace moves 421-423). These moves are the following:

* 361: Excavate

* 362: Spin Slash

* 421: Secret Bazaar Escape

* 422: Secret Bazaar Cleanse

Line 141:

Line 146:

* 428: All-Hit Orb

* 429: Foe-Seal Orb

* 467: Judgement

* 543: Weather Ball Sun

* 544: Weather Ball Hail

Line 156:

Line 160:

* 555: Skull Bash second half

* 556: Ghost-type Curse animation

* 557: generic move sound effect

If you need even more slots, you can also replace existing regular moves with entirely new ones. If you choose to do so, keep in mind that some moves have hardcoded checks that will cause problems if you replace them, so you should probably shouldn't touch those. Here's the list of moves with known hardcoded behavior:

* 558: generic move sound effect

~~Of course~~, you ~~could~~ also replace existing moves. If you choose to do so, keep in mind that some moves have hardcoded checks that will cause problems if you replace them, so you should probably shouldn't touch those. Here's the list of moves with known hardcoded behavior:

* 031: Weather Ball (has a special type check in <code>GetMoveTypeForMonster</code>)
