Banning Pokemon

[SuperJanBro]

Okay, so with me implementing shadow Pokemon- I've noticed that it makes gym battles laughably easy. I was wondering if there's a way to ban Pokemon from gyms? I know it's possible to ban them from places like the battle tower, but is there a way I can use a script to disallow the use of shadow Pokemon in gyms?

Like for example if you go up to the gym leader, and you have a shadow Pokemon, a different text box will open up, and say "Hey, you can't use those type of Pokémon!"

Any help will be nice! Thanks! (And sorry if this is confusing.)

EDIT:
Actually, nevermind! While looking through essentials and the name rater, I learned that I can use the script !if.shadow. Thanks again, though!
EDIT:
...Actually it seems I spoke too soon. The script works, but only if the specified slot has the shadow pokemon. Does anyone know how to make it so all shadow pokemon are also excluded?

I need some help with this as well. Howard pls.

I'm not too sure, but I think adding [0] , [1] , [2] .. and so on determines the position in your party. So if you wanted to check all 6 slots, you could add all 6 lines of !if.shadow with the [0] stuff behind.


Though, regrettably I'm not sure where exactly to place the [0]s

hasShadow=false
for i in $Trainer.party
  hasShadow=true if i.isShadow?
end
$game_switches[51]=hasShadow

Use that piece of script in the event, and then check whether Game Switch 51 is true (they have a Shadow Pokémon, don't battle) or false (no Shadow Pokémon, battle).

Change the switch number to something else if necessary.

Works like a charm! Thank you so much!
