[Tool] PK3DS and forme changes

[avividrose]

Hi there, I'm working on a 3DS hack, and I want to make Zen Mode Darmanitan more usable. I know it can Mega Evolve into another form, but can it regular evolve? I tried adding an evolution to darmanitan so it changes formes with a stone, much like Oricorio, but there are no other formes in the evolution menu. Is what I'm describing possible?

I'm using ORAS as a base if that matters.

Should be possible, you might just have to hex edit the evolution garc instead of using pk3DS. There's a simple method for doing changes like this:
Make a backup copy of the evo garc.
Use pk3DS to change Darmanitan to evolve into anything; try Masquerain, but use the evo method you want. Save changes.
Open the backup evo garc and the edited one in a hex editor.
Do a file comparison. The only differences between the two should be Darmanitan's new evolution data.
You should be able to see Masquerain's species ID in the differences in the edited garc; it's number 284 = 0x011C which will appear as 1C 01. Replace this with Darmanitan Zen's ID, which is 827 = 0x033B = 3B 03.
Save changes and test out the edited garc in the ROM.

I haven't actually tried this but it's what I'd do, pretty sure it will work.
