Changed:

• #69 Allow cobblemons BATTLE_STARTED_PRE event to intercept battles started by this api
• #68 Pokemon models may now alternatively accept a list of held items (if one item was not found the next item is checked)

  • Most gimmicks require specific items to be activated, which are not provided by this mod (you can use other mods like mega showdown for that)

Changelog

Important: This version may break compatibility with mods that rely on an older version of this api (< 0.12.0-beta). This could be the case if mods happen to parse trainers from JSON (i.e. with GSON) or use #getName() (see #55 - 59). There shouldn't be any issues otherwise.

To update be sure to configure your GsonBuilder instances with RCTApi#configureGsonBuilder(GsonBuilder) or simply use a builder provided by RCTApi#gsonBuilder().

[0.12.1-beta] - 2025-05-24

Changed:

• #66 General improvements for RCTBattleAI
  • Custom evaluations for hazard and field manipulating moves (tailwind, gravity, trickroom, spikes, stealthrock, toxicspikes and stickyweb)
  • Custom evaluations for moves that inflict major status conditions (like spore or glare)
  • Custom evaluations for sacrificial moves (like explosion or memento)
  • Custom evaluations for some common moves with very specific effects (like taunt or protect)
  • Custom evaluations for weather and terrain moves (like raindance or mistyterrain)
  • Some minor fixes and adjustments here and there (e.g. sleeptalk checking the opponents sleep status instead of the users)
• #65 Refactored BattleEffects (former PokeContext) utility class for the battle ai

Fixed:

• #64 Various potential battle errors with RCTBattleAI (e.g. battle error if trainer pokemon dies of entry hazards)
• #63 Text#getComponent() now returns a component with an empty string (instead of the language key itself), this should fix issues with fallback mechanics if certain texts do not have a translation defined (e.g. trainer names)
