v21.1 XP18 Training Module 1.0.0

XP-18 Training Module​

Overview​

The XP-18 Training Module is a combat simulator plugin that provides a structured, ticket-based system for earning EXP Candies and training EVs.
Instead of grinding wild encounters or repeat trainers, players spend tickets to battle dynamically generated teams that scale with your game’s current level cap.

Modes​

XP Mode
6v6 battle against a dynamically generated team.
Win to earn EXP Candies that scale with progression.
EV Mode
Select one Pokémon and a stat to maximize.
Win a 1v3 battle to instantly set that stat’s EVs to 252.
Teams are generated dynamically from your full Pokédex, so there are no static encounter pools to maintain. Movesets are built automatically using STAB prioritization, type coverage, and useful status moves.
Enemy levels, BST ranges, held items, and reward tiers all scale from a single configurable variable (your level cap).

Features​

• Dynamic team generation from your full Pokédex (BST filtered + configurable blacklist)
• Smart moveset builder prioritizing STAB, coverage, and utility
• Automatic difficulty scaling based on your level cap variable
• Tiered EXP Candy rewards that scale with progression
• EV Mode supports up to two maxed stats (252/252), with a replacement prompt for a third
• Free retries on EV Mode losses (ticket consumed on entry only)
• Party healing before and after battles
• Fully configurable: party sizes, tickets, level offsets, item pools, blacklist, and more
• Self-contained module (no aliases or overrides)
• Optional Level Caps EX compatibility (auto-detected)
