Skills and big moments
199 skills from version 1.7.0. Shop skills are bought. Signature skills are associated with a racer or evolution family and can take over the screen when they fire.
The official line is that each Pokémon races its own way, with abilities to match. In the data that splits into two piles. Kecleon’s shop holds 115 skills: 40 normal and 75 gold. Kanto signatures add 84, prefixed in the data so they do not collide with shop names. You buy shop skills with skill points earned from training. A partner hint lowers that cost. Version 1.6.2 notes that the shop stocks your racer’s own skills and every skill you have a hint for.
Version 1.7.0, dated 11 Nov 2026, adds signature levels 1 through 5 and lets a coach pass an inherited signature. I list the effect text from the skill row. I do not extend it with a damage formula. Trigger cells use the short label, such as “final” or “in a flight segment”. The longer condition string stays in the data file. Owners point back at the racer table.
A race loadout is four moves, chosen on the race card, plus the signature if that racer has one. Ancient Wing is a useful sample of a gold shop skill: Speed +7 for 4 seconds in a flight segment, cost 310, owner Aerodactyl. Solar Beam Finish, Tail Flame, and Streamlined Shell are the three starters’ signatures. Duration, cost, and uses stay blank in the table when the file has no value.
