In the future, if there is EBDX for 20.1, will this plugin be compatible?
And, can AI use this mechanic?

And, can AI use this mechanic?

I can't really say whether or not this will be compatible with something that doesn't exist yet. But "no" is probably the most likely answer to your question. TBH I don't even want to begin thinking about the headache it will be to update all my plugins for EBDX compatibility (Luka can take as looooong as he wants, as far as I'm concerned lol), so I'm really just focusing on running around keeping my own stuff functional atm.

And yes, both NPC trainers and wild Pokemon can use this, and I've even implemented some basic AI decision making for when's the best time to use each particular style (for example, it won't waste its meter using a critical hit if you have an ability that blocks critical hits, etc.).

This is really cool! It reminds me of the Super Meters in most fighting games. Nice work!

This isn't worthy of it's own update, but if anyone's interested, I now included a Focus Meter graphic for Raid Pokemon if using this along side the ZUD Plugin. I had forgotten to include this with the previous update.

Where can I find the Focus Tutor NPC? And how can I set the Enraged Focus for an enemy Pokémon?

Where can I find the Focus Tutor NPC? And how can I set the Enraged Focus for an enemy Pokémon?

The tutorial in the linked PokeCommunity thread has this information.

The Focus Tutor can be set in an event, and you can set the Enraged style on NPC trainers in their respective PBS files. For wild Pokemon, you can set a Pokemon's focus_style the same way you would set any other trait, such as Nature or Shininess. If you're setting up a wild battle using Essentials Deluxe's features, then the tutorial for that plugin explains how to do this as well.

  When using the "focus" trigger, you may now add the id of a specific style in all caps, such as "focusPASSIVE" or "focusACCURACY" to trigger only when those specific focus styles are used.
