Defining trainer Pokémon's EVs (Crosspost) 1.0

Pokémon Essentials Version
v16.2 ➖
Introduction
This is a crosspost of DoesntKnowHowToPlay's post from Pokecommunity, with his permission since I don't think he'll be making an account here, and this script is far too useful to not have be more public.


Original Post


I doubt anyone who knows what they're doing would have a hard time with this, but I'm led to believe this is harder than it looks so I'm going to post it anyway; it's quite possible I've forgotten something important.

Replace the set of definitions and first function at the top of "PTrainer_NPCTrainers" with this:
Code:
Expand Collapse Copy
TPSPECIES  = 0
TPLEVEL    = 1
TPITEM      = 2
TPMOVE1    = 3
TPMOVE2    = 4
TPMOVE3    = 5
TPMOVE4    = 6
TPABILITY  = 7
TPGENDER    = 8
TPFORM      = 9
TPSHINY    = 10
TPNATURE    = 11
TPIV        = 12
TPHAPPINESS = 13
TPNAME      = 14
TPSHADOW    = 15
TPBALL      = 16
TPHPEV      = 17
TPATKEV    = 18
TPDEFEV    = 19
TPSPEEDEV  = 20
TPSATKEV    = 21
TPSDEFEV    = 22
TPDEFAULTS = [0,10,0,0,0,0,0,nil,nil,0,false,nil,10,70,nil,false,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]

def pbLoadTrainer(trainerid,trainername,partyid=0)
  if trainerid.is_a?(String) || trainerid.is_a?(Symbol)
    if !hasConst?(PBTrainers,trainerid)
      raise _INTL("Trainer type does not exist ({1}, {2}, ID {3})",trainerid,trainername,partyid)
    end
    trainerid=getID(PBTrainers,trainerid)
  end
  success=false
  items=[]
  party=[]
  opponent=nil
  trainers=load_data("Data/trainers.dat")
  for trainer in trainers
    name=trainer[1]
    thistrainerid=trainer[0]
    thispartyid=trainer[4]
    next if trainerid!=thistrainerid || name!=trainername || partyid!=thispartyid
    items=trainer[2].clone
    name=pbGetMessageFromHash(MessageTypes::TrainerNames,name)
    for i in RIVALNAMES
      if isConst?(trainerid,PBTrainers,i[0]) && $game_variables[i[1]]!=0
        name=$game_variables[i[1]]
      end
    end
    opponent=PokeBattle_Trainer.new(name,thistrainerid)
    opponent.setForeignID($Trainer) if $Trainer
    for poke in trainer[3]
      species=poke[TPSPECIES]
      level=poke[TPLEVEL]
      pokemon=PokeBattle_Pokemon.new(species,level,opponent)
      pokemon.formNoCall=poke[TPFORM]
      pokemon.resetMoves
      pokemon.setItem(poke[TPITEM])
      if poke[TPMOVE1]>0 || poke[TPMOVE2]>0 || poke[TPMOVE3]>0 || poke[TPMOVE4]>0
        k=0
        for move in [TPMOVE1,TPMOVE2,TPMOVE3,TPMOVE4]
          pokemon.moves[k]=PBMove.new(poke[move])
          k+=1
        end
        pokemon.moves.compact!
      end
      pokemon.setAbility(poke[TPABILITY])
      pokemon.setGender(poke[TPGENDER])
      if poke[TPSHINY]  # if this is a shiny Pokémon
        pokemon.makeShiny
      else
        pokemon.makeNotShiny
      end
      pokemon.setNature(poke[TPNATURE])
      iv=poke[TPIV]
      for i in 0...6
        pokemon.iv[i]=iv&0x1F
      end
      pokemon.happiness=poke[TPHAPPINESS]
      pokemon.name=poke[TPNAME] if poke[TPNAME] && poke[TPNAME]!=""
      if poke[TPSHADOW]  # if this is a Shadow Pokémon
        pokemon.makeShadow rescue nil
        pokemon.pbUpdateShadowMoves(true) rescue nil
        pokemon.makeNotShiny
      end
      pokemon.ballused=poke[TPBALL]
      pokemon.ev[0]=poke[TPHPEV]
      pokemon.ev[1]=poke[TPATKEV]
      pokemon.ev[2]=poke[TPDEFEV]
      pokemon.ev[3]=poke[TPSPEEDEV]
      pokemon.ev[4]=poke[TPSATKEV]
      pokemon.ev[5]=poke[TPSDEFEV]
      pokemon.calcStats
      party.push(pokemon)
    end
    success=true
    break
  end
  return success ? [opponent,items,party] : nil
end

Then open the "Compilers" script and replace function pbCompileTrainers with the following:

Code:
Expand Collapse Copy

        },nil,nil]
    )

      raise _INTL("Bad money amount (must be from 0 through 255)\r\n{1}",FileLineData.linereport)
    end

    end
    record[8]=record[3] if !record[8]

    trainernames[record[0]]=record[2]
    if records[record[0]]
      raise _INTL("Two trainer types ({1} and {2}) have the same ID ({3}), which is not allowed.\r\n{4}",
          records[record[0]][1],record[1],record[0],FileLineData.linereport)
    end
    records[record[0]]=record
    maxValue=[maxValue,record[0]].max
  }
  count=records.compact.length
  MessageTypes.setMessages(MessageTypes::TrainerTypes,trainernames)

These will allow you to give custom EV spreads to trainers. The EVs come after everything else, and in the usual order for Essentials (speed/satk/sdef), so you'd define a trainer's mon like this for a 252 Atk/Speed mon:

Code:
Expand Collapse Copy
GYARADOS,50,CHOICEBAND,AQUATAIL,EARTHQUAKE,STONEEDGE,BOUNCE,0,F,,,ADAMANT,31,,kogasa,,,0,252,0,252,0,0

As with the other fields, you don't have to give every trainer's pokemon specially defined EVs, or even extend commas that far. They'll default to 0 in every EV instead of the weird inflated formula vanilla Essentials uses, though.
