Changing Enemy Trainer's Pokemon Levels based on a switch?

[Kiedisticelixer]

I've succesfully implemented an option in EncounterModifiers so that unlocking X switch, in my example, badges, will increase the Wild mon's levels. Cool. My issue starts when I try to do the same under PokeBattle_Battler.

I changed def pbUpdate and it worked (adding rand5 to the Pokémon levels) but that also increased the level of the Player's Pokémon.

def pbUpdate(fullchange=false)
    if @pokemon
      @pokemon.calcStats
      if $game_switches[11]
      @level     = @pokemon.level + rand(5)
      else
        @level     = @pokemon.level
        end
      @hp        = @pokemon.hp
      @totalhp   = @pokemon.totalhp
      if !@effects[PBEffects::Transform]
        @attack    = @pokemon.attack
        @defense   = @pokemon.defense
        @speed     = @pokemon.speed
        @spatk     = @pokemon.spatk
        @spdef     = @pokemon.spdef
        if fullchange
          @ability = @pokemon.ability
          @type1   = @pokemon.type1
          @type2   = @pokemon.type2
        end

I tried changing def pbInitPokemon(pkmn,pkmnIndex) and def pbInitBlank (if $game_switches[11] etc) but those did not work at all. Yeah, the switch is turned on.

def pbInitPokemon(pkmn,pkmnIndex)
    if pkmn.egg?
     raise _INTL("An EGG can't be an active POKéMON")
    end
    @name         = pkmn.name
    @species      = pkmn.species
    if $game_switches[11]
    @level        = pkmn.level + 20
    else @level        = pkmn.level
  end
(...)
end
  
   def pbInitBlank
    @name         = ""
    @species      = 0
    if $game_switches[11]
    @level        = 0 + 20
    else 
   @level        = 0
    end
    (...)
  end

Can someone with more experience guide me? The best way to go around this would be separating player and enemy Pokémon levels as separate variables, but that seems extremely tedious and out of my reach.

PokeBattle_Battler has to do with the Pokemon on the field - they're actually different than normal Pokemon, so that things like Protean don't change the actual Pokemon outside of battle.

The code to do with enemy trainers is actually found in PTrainer_NPCTrainers.

However, you can also do this, also in EncounterModifiers:

Events.onTrainerPartyLoad+=proc {|sender,e|
  if [COLOR="Red"]INSERT YOUR CONDITION HERE[/COLOR]
    if e[0] # Trainer data should exist to be loaded, but may not exist somehow
      trainer=e[0][0] # A PokeBattle_Trainer object of the loaded trainer
      items=e[0][1]   # An array of the trainer's items they can use
      party=e[0][2]   # An array of the trainer's Pokémon
      for poke in party
        [COLOR="red"]INSERT YOUR CODE TO ADJUST LEVELS HERE[/COLOR]
        poke.calcStats
      end
    end
  end
}

Thanks, Rot8er_ConeX. I found a way in PokemonTrainers, to avoid using it as Encounter Modifiers.

What I did:
In PokemonTrainers, find def pbLoadTrainer and simply find around line 42 and edit as you wish with whatever condition.
