Pokémon/Alpha

Alpha Pokémon are a special type of Pokémon which rarely spawn throughout the world, visually appearing as a larger than usual Pokémon with glowing red eyes. They act as a roaming boss, having unique, strong abilities and always being a higher level than the player's Pokémon.

Spawning

Alpha Pokémon can spawn randomly throughout the overworld rarely. They will spawn alongside several of their earliest evolution stage, creating a herd which will actively follow the alpha. Naturally spawned alphas will always be at their highest evolution stage.

Pokémon from unnatural sources have boosted chances to be alphas, such as fishing and Poké Snacks having a flat 1 in 100 chance, and fossils having a flat 1 in 20 chances to become an alpha Pokémon. Unlike natural alphas, these alphas can be an earlier evolution stage and will not create a herd on spawning. Hopo Berry will also increase the chance of an alpha by 2% when used as a seasoning.

Features

Level

Upon a player entering a 16 block radius of an alpha Pokémon, if no other player is closer, the alpha will cry and emit wild might particles, before changing its level depending on the player's highest level Pokémon in their party.

Player Party's Highest Level	Alpha Pokémon's Level
<21	Highest Level + 4
21-30	Highest Level + 8
31-45	Highest Level + 12
46-65	Highest Level + 16
>65	Highest Level + 20 (capped at 100)

Size Variation

Alpha Pokémon are a fixed size depending on the longest hitbox dimension of the Pokémon at 1x size. Within the summary menu, the size of the Pokémon will be uniquely marked as "Alpha". Additionally, the cry of an alpha is pitched down.

Pokémon's 1x Size	Alpha Pokémon's Size
< 0.5 blocks	+85%
< 1.5 blocks	+66%
< 10 blocks	+50%
> 10 blocks	+33%

Additionally, alpha Pokémon have unique, glowing red eyes. These eyes may be toggled on and off owned alpha Pokémon via the alpha's Mark.

Behaviour

Wild Alpha Pokémon will always attempt to defend themselves in the wild. If attacked, the alpha Pokémon will defend itself, attacking the attacking player.

Battle Boost

Upon beginning a battle with an alpha Pokémon, they will be granted a number of random stat boosts depending on their level. The number of boosts granted will be 1 guaranteed, followed by 1 for every 10 levels of the alpha Pokémon.

TM Moveset

Alpha Pokémon will always spawn with two TM move in its moveset. This TM move will always be a TM in which the Pokémon can learn, with an exception for Tera Blast.

Type Gems and Berries

Alpha Pokémon have a chance to drop Type Gems and Berries corresponding to their type. Each of an Alpha's types is independently given a 50% chance to produce a type-specific reward, which has a 75% chance of containing Type Gems and a 25% chance of containing the corresponding Berry. In the case that an Alpha has only one type, the same type is rolled for twice.
