Gimmick Items
File: config/frontier/gimmick-items.conf
Frontier uses this file to decide which held items count as gimmick activation items during team validation.
Fields
Section titled “Fields”| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
megaStones | List<String> | Showdown IDs treated as Mega Stones |
zCrystals | List<String> | Showdown IDs treated as Z-Crystals |
Items are matched by Showdown ID after being resolved from the held item stack.
Why It Matters
Section titled “Why It Matters”When a format bans a gimmick, Frontier can reject the corresponding held items during team validation and queue join.
This is especially useful when:
- your server uses modded Mega Stone or Z-Crystal items
- you want gimmick bans to work through item checks instead of just clause text
- you are maintaining custom gimmick ecosystems or item IDs
Example
Section titled “Example”megaStones = [ "abomasite", "charizarditex", "charizarditey", "garchompite"]
zCrystals = [ "firiumz", "electriumz", "ultranecroziumz"]Customization
Section titled “Customization”Servers that add custom gimmick items can append their Showdown IDs to the relevant list.
