User:Gates to Infinity Pokémon Data Info Data Structure

pokemon_data_info.bin is a file in  Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. This page describes its data structure as a means to research the games and further document them on the MDFW.

Information

each Pokémon has a block of 0xE0 bytes

from 0x0 to 0xF - each bit represents whether a TM/HM is learnable or not

from 0x10 to 0x43 - every move learned by leveling up, represented by 2 bytes each (26 moves)

from 0x44 to 0x5E - levels at which each move is learned. 1 byte for each move (26 moves)
0x5F - unknown (always 00?)

0x60 - one byte deciding which tiles a Pokémon can stand on:
bit 0 - unknown. active for most Pokémon
bit 1 - unknown. active for most Pokémon
bit 2 - unknown. inactive for most Pokémon
bit 3 - if active, the Pokémon can walk over water
bit 4 - if active, the Pokémon can walk over lava
bit 5 - if active, the Pokémon can walk on top of walls and enemies (occasionally doesn't let you walk toward enemies, seems a bit inconsistent)
bit 6 - if active, the Pokémon can float over tiles
bit 7 - unknown. seems to always be inactive?
^ the order is correct. check if I didn't reverse the order in rtdx notes

0x66 and 0x67 - unknown. seems to be the same as above for some Pokémon (generations 1 and 2?) but different for others (u16)
0x68 (and 0x69? to check) - Pokémon Category (u16)
0x6a - recruit rate 1, first time during main story (16-bit signed)

0x7B - unk

from 0x7C to 0xCF: data relating to evolutions and previous stages. these bytes form blocks of 0xC bytes for each possible evolution

0x2 = next stage ID (u16)
0x4 = ID of the required item (u16)
0x6 = unk (u16)
0x8 = if not 00, the Pokémon needs to "open up with the team". the value can vary (u16)
0xA = level required for evolution (u8)
0xB = evolution method (01 by leveling up, 02 with item) (u8)
