Laser's Additions gives Castform a special Sandstorm form. This makes Castform a real option for sand-based teams, not just sun, rain and hail.
Getting Started
1. Catch or bring a Castform onto your team.
2. Open its summary to check its moves and ability. The pack reworks classic abilities, so read the current description instead of relying on main-series knowledge.
3. Test it in a low-risk battle against a wild Pokemon. Set up a sandstorm and watch whether Castform changes appearance.
Building Around Sand
- Pick teammates that like sandstorm conditions. Choose Pokemon whose types or abilities benefit from sand, so the whole team gains from the weather Castform supports.
- Check move classifications. The pack adds Kicking, Throwing, Hammer, Beam and Light moves. Look at what your sand teammates can learn and cover each other's weaknesses.
- Use TMs to fill gaps. If SimpleTMs is installed, the pack's configuration lets you teach the new moves through TMs. This helps you round out Castform's or a teammate's moveset.
Troubleshooting
If Castform never seems to reach its new form, run /datapack list and make sure Laser's Additions is enabled in the world you are playing. On a server, it must be active on the server's world.
