I'm trying to make an evolution method where a Pokémon evolves if certain Pokémon (plural or single) is in the player's party. While checking for other Pokémon to be isn't hard at all, I want it to be able to check for two or even three of the same Pokémon. Here is an example:
Code: 
  when PBEvolution::StackOne
    if pokemon.level>=level
      for i in $Trainer.party
        return poke if i.isConst?(pokemon.species,PBSpecies,:TURTONATOR)
      end
    end
I want my Turtonator here to evolve if besides itself, there is another Turtonator in the player's party. How would I check for that?

PS: The method itself is already setup properly, but I don't think you really need to see that as it's irrelevant.

EDIT: To summarize everything, I want something like HasInParty, but I want to be able to check for two Pokémon (The one evolving and another one in the party).

Code: 
  when PBEvolution::StackOne
    if pokemon.level>=level
      j=0
      for i in $Trainer.party
        j+=1 if i.isConst?(pokemon.species,PBSpecies,:TURTONATOR)
      end
    end
    return poke if j>=2

Thanks for your help, but something doesn't work. I played around a bit, and from what I tested, J goes up six times if there is A Turtonator in the party. When I changed if j>=6, it still returned, but when I changed it to j>=7, it didn't.
From what it looks like, the rest is working. It doesn't do anything if I tell it to look for any other Pokémon that's not in my party, which is what I want.

There's a syntax error in what I gave you.

Code: 
  when PBEvolution::StackOne
    if pokemon.level>=level
      j=0
      for i in $Trainer.party
        j+=1 if isConst?(i.species,PBSpecies,:TURTONATOR)
      end
    end
    return poke if j>=2

It went up 6 times because it was checking the evolver's species each time, not the party member's.

Right! I really should've seen that... Thanks, though. I'll test it tomorrow.

It's obviously working wonderfully, but I want it to delete the second Pokémon it finds, so it's actually "stacking" or "fusing". Even if there are three of the species, the first one will evolve and the second one will be deleted, and the third one will remain untouched. Is this doable? It would've probably been smart to have said that right at the beginning.

Code: 
if evonib==PBEvolution::StackOne
  for i in 0...6
    if $Trainer.party[i]==@pokemon
    elsif $Trainer.party[i][email protected]
      $Trainer.party[i]=nil
      $Trainer.party.compact!
      break
    end
  end
end

Insert this beneath line 838 of Pokemon_Evolution. Assuming you haven't edited that script section, that should be above the code that creates Shedinja when Nincada evolves into Ninjask.
