Changing a Species Permanently Mid-Battle

[Khari]

I'm working on a script that checks if the player's pokémon is of a substantial level to evolve, at high friendship, or holding an evolutionary stone when it level up in battle. The pokémon needs to be of a substantial friendship level for this check to occur regardless of evolution method.

I've had difficulties actually changing the species after the check passes.
Can I just set the species to the new one, calcstats, then refresh the sprite?

Pokemon in battle (PokeBattle_Battler) are separate but connected to Pokemon in the player's party (PokeBattle_Pokemon), specifically so that the pokemon in battle can change forms without affecting the pokemon in the player's party. If you want to make the change permanent, you will need to specifically set the species on the pokemon in the player's party.

Also, make sure the player is still allowed to cancel evolutions if they wish.

Yep, fixed it.

Thanks for your help
