Changelog

[0.13.1-beta] - 2025-06-02

Fixed:

#70 Oversight causing battles to randomly crash (NullPointerException because "moveset" is null)

Changelog

[0.13.0-beta] - 2025-06-02

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)
#67 Trainer pokemon now support usage of gimmicks (zmoves, mega evolution, dynamax, etc.)
- Added gimmicks property to PokemonModel: Allows to enable and define a terastalization type (tera), as well as to activate dyna- and gigantamax (dynamax and gmax), latter two require the mega showdown mod to work
- 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)
