[Scripting Question] Eating a berry on using a certain type of move

    So I'm planning on implementing a set of berries that increase a stat. At first I wanted it to happen on entry, so I had this:
    Code:
            if self.pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::SPATK,self,false,self) #NEW
              if self.hasWorkingItem(:FLASHWEED)
                pbActivateBerryEffect
                return
              end
            end
    Which... kinda works. It seems a bit random as to when it triggers.

    But now I want it to be consumed just before a pokemon uses a move of it's type (so if it raises Sp. Atk, it's consumed just before the holder uses a special move). How would I go about this?
     
    Def pbUseMove, just after the stancechange ability check, seems to me the optimal place to force something to activate just before the attack.

    That doesn't work because movetype has yet to be defined. First place I see movetype be defined is on damage.

    Probably a simple way around that, but I know it not.

    In PokeBattle_Battler, def pbUseMove you can try this bit of code:
    Code:
        if thismove.pbTwoTurnAttack(self)
          # Beginning use of two-turn attack
          @effects[PBEffects::TwoTurnAttack]=thismove.id
          @currentMove=thismove.id
        else
          @effects[PBEffects::TwoTurnAttack]=0 # Cancel use of two-turn attack
        end
    [COLOR=Red]    if pbHasType?(thismove.type) && thismove.pbIsSpecial?(thismove.type) &&
           hasWorkingItem(:FLASHWEED)
          if pbCanIncreaseStatStage?(PBStats::SPATK)
            @pokemon.itemInitial=0 if @pokemon.itemInitial==@item
            @item=0
            pbIncreaseStat(PBStats::SPATK,1,false,true)
            @battle.pbDisplay(_INTL("The {2} raised {1}'s Special Attack!",
               pbThis,PBItems.getName(@item)))
          end
        end
    [/COLOR]    # "X used Y!" message
        case thismove.pbDisplayUseMessage(self)
