Error using pbAddPokemon and a related custom script

[Krigeris]

I'm using an essentials script made by umbreon and modified by me to randomize the pokemon roughly around the same strength

It seems to randomize trainers and triggered battles just fine but I crash with an error when using pbAddPokemon, the original unmodified script crashes as well though with a different error (something along the lines of pokemon 721 being invalid)

edit: it crashes even with the switch turned off, so that inner loop isn't even touched and it still crashes. Just confused as too why

Code:

module RandomizedChallenge
  Switch = 36 # switch ID to randomize a pokemon, if it's on then ALL
              # pokemon will be randomized. No exceptions.
              #
  Range = 0.05 # Percentage of difference between the stats use 0.05 format
end

######################### End of settings, edit below at your own risk
class PokeBattle_Pokemon
  
  alias randomized_init initialize
  def initialize(species,level,player=nil,withMoves=true)
    statTotal = getBaseStatTotal(species)
    if $game_switches && $game_switches[RandomizedChallenge::Switch]
      generatedMon = rand(PBSpecies.maxValue - 1) + 1
      randTotal = getBaseStatTotal(generatedMon)
      while (randTotal+225) <= (statTotal+225)*(1-RandomizedChallenge::Range) || (randTotal+225) >= (statTotal+225)*(1+RandomizedChallenge::Range)
          generatedMon = rand(PBSpecies.maxValue - 1) + 1
          randTotal = getBaseStatTotal(generatedMon)
          if randTotal == 236
            randTotal *= 2; 
          end
        end 

    randomized_init(generatedMon, level, player, withMoves)
    end
  end
end

def getBaseStatTotal(species)
  dexdata=pbOpenDexData
  pbDexDataOffset(dexdata,species,10)
  bs=[
    dexdata.fgetb, # HP
    dexdata.fgetb, # Attack
    dexdata.fgetb, # Defense
    dexdata.fgetb, # Speed
    dexdata.fgetb, # Special Attack
    dexdata.fgetb  # Special Defense
  ]
  dexdata.close
  return bs.inject{|sum,x| sum + x }
end

Here's the error

The error doesn't seem to be in the script you provided. According to the error code, the error is located in "Canvas Town" in Event 2's code.
You can find Event 2 by looking at your events for the number 2:

Once you find Event 2, please reply with a screenshot of Event 2's code so I can look at it.

Sorry for not being more clear, the event was just a plain add pokemon script. I figured out the issue I was passing generatedMon, but if the switch was off then generatedMon was never generated so I was passing nothing.
