v20.1 Enhanced UI [v20.1] [DEPRECATED] v1.1.3

This resource pertains to version 20.1 of Pokémon Essentials.
ATTENTION! Final Update!
With the release of Essentials v21, this will be the final update for Enhanced UI for v20.1. Going forward I will instead be fully focused on v21, so I will no longer be updating or supporting this plugin. I intend to take a break before I even start thinking about how or when I'm going to start working on a v21 iteration of the plugin, so don't ask me about a time frame for release. I will keep this plugin available in the meantime. But this iteration of the plugin will eventually be removed once a v21 successor is released and takes its place. I will give fair warning before this happens, so don't panic.

See you all in v21!


Final Update (v1.1.3)

  • Made various tweaks for better compatibility with the newest update to the Gen 9 Pack.
  • Removed all of the QoL additions added in the last update. All of these features are now found in the Gen 9 Pack, which is a better home for those mechanics.
  • This is the final update for this plugin. Going forward, my focus will now be on adapting this plugin for v21.

  • Added several QoL features to the Pokemon Summary UI found in the modern series.
  • When pressing the USE button to open the options while viewing a Pokemon's Summmary, the "Nickname" option will now appear in this list, which will allow you to re-nickname your Pokemon. This option will only appear if you are the Pokemon's original trainer.
  • When pressing the USE button while specifically viewing the Pokemon's moves page, a different list of options will now appear. These will include the following:
    • Check Moves: This option will allow you to view the data of each of this Pokemon's moves, as well as re-order them. This option won't appear if the Pokemon has no moves.
    • Relearn Moves: This option will open the move relearning screen, allowing this Pokemon to recall a past move. This option won't appear if the Pokemon has no moves to relearn.
    • Forget Move: This option will open the move deletion screen allowing this Pokemon to forget a known move. This option won't appear if the Pokemon has no moves.
    • Use TM's: This option will open the bag, displaying all compatible TM's that may be used on this Pokemon. No TM's will appear if no compatible ones are found.
  • Improves the controls for the Summary UI, allowing the UI to loop while scrolling through pages while pressing left/right, as well as looping through the party while pressing up/down, instead of coming to a halt when reaching the end.
  • Added SUMMARY_MODERN_QoL to the plugin Settings. When toggled false, all of the above improvements are disabled.

Below are screenshots of these new Summary options:

  • Refactored all of the code related to displaying Battle/Move Info UI's in the Fight Menu, and moved it into this plugin instead of keeping it in Essentials Deluxe.

  • Moved the entire selection window for the Battle Info UI further up the screen, so the newly added party ball display no longer overlaps important battle buttons.

  • Updated the Battle UI graphics to complement the change in text colors.
  • Added settings at the top of the Battle UI script to allow you to customize text colors.
  • When using the ZUD Plugin, the icon sprites for Dynamaxed Pokemon will now be enlarged/colored and have a red outline instead of a white one when selecting a Pokemon for the Battle Info UI. Thier name will also have a red shadow when selected. If the species of the Dynamaxed Pokemon is Calyrex, this coloration will be blue instead.
  • When using the ZUD Plugin, the icon sprites for Dynamaxed Pokemon will now be enlarged/colored in the effectiveness display of the Move Info UI.
The following update fixes and improves upon many features of the Battle Info UI that was added in the previous update.


  • Added a display while selecting a Pokemon for the Battle Info UI that will now show each trainer's Pokeball lineup.
  • Fixed an error in the Battle Info UI with Pokemon you own that are under the effects of Illusion displaying the name of the Pokemon they are disguised as, rather than their real name.
  • When viewing a Pokemon's data in the Battle Info UI, its type display will now show its actual current typing, rather than its natural typing. For example, if a Pokemon changes type due to the Protean ability, the types in the UI will change to reflect this. This will even display the Pokemon's third type if an effect is in play that may grant them a third type (Forest's Curse, for example).
  • When viewing a Pokemon's data in the Battle Info UI, Pokemon who you have not yet discovered will now have their type displayed as the ??? type, rather than not showing any type at all. Pokemon who have had their typing removed by an effect (for example a pure Fire-type that used the move Burn Up) will also be displayed as this type.
  • The Battle Info UI now tracks the Fairy Lock field effect, which was left out in the last updated by mistake.
  • The Battle Info UI now tracks the Swamp pledge effect, which was left out in the last update by mistake.
  • The Battle Info UI now tracks the following battler-specific effects:
    • Disable
    • Embargo
    • Heal Block
    • Magnet Rise
    • Perish Song
    • Encore
    • Taunt
    • Telekinesis
    • Throat Chop
    • Trapping Move Effects (Fire Spin, Whirlpool, etc.)
  • The Battle Info UI now tracks each Pokemon's remaining Dynamax turns when the ZUD Plugin is installed.
  • The Battle Info UI now tracks the amount of turns a Pokemon is locked out of building Focus when the Focus Meter plugin is installed.
