      end
    end
  end

(Molten Rock is the fire type Toxic Spikes)

Step 2: In PokeBattle_MoveEffects, Move these fire moves to this to promote the effect:

Spoiler:

################################################################################
# Severely burns the target. (Inferno,Fire Blast,Sacred Fire,Searing Shot)
# (Handled in Battler's pbSuccessCheck): Hits semi-invulnerable targets if user
# is Fire-type and move is status move.
################################################################################
class PokeBattle_Move_162 < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbEffect(attacker,opponent,hitnum=0,alltargets=nil,showanimation=true)
    return super(attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation) if pbIsDamaging?
    return -1 if !opponent.pbCanBurn?(attacker,true,self)
    pbShowAnimation(@id,attacker,opponent,hitnum,alltargets,showanimation)
    opponent.pbBurn(attacker,nil,true)
    return 0
  end

  def pbAdditionalEffect(attacker,opponent)
    return if opponent.damagestate.substitute
    if opponent.pbCanBurn?(attacker,false,self)
      opponent.pbBurn(attacker,nil,true)
    end
  end
end

Step 3: In PokeBattle_Battle, alter the #Burn line with this before else it should look like this:

Spoiler:

# Burn/Harsh Burn
      if i.status==PBStatuses::BURN
        if i.statusCount>0
          i.effects[PBEffects::HarshBurn]+=1
          i.effects[PBEffects::HarshBurn]=[15,i.effects[PBEffects::HarshBurn]].min
        end
        if i.hasWorkingAbility(:FLAMEHEAL)
          pbCommonAnimation("Burn",i,nil)
          if i.effects[PBEffects::HealBlock]==0 && i.hp<i.totalhp
            PBDebug.log("[Ability triggered] #{i.pbThis}'s Flame Heal")
            i.pbRecoverHP((i.totalhp/8).floor,true)
            pbDisplay(_INTL("{1} is healed by burn!",i.pbThis))
          end
        else
          if !i.hasWorkingAbility(:MAGICGUARD)
            PBDebug.log("[Status damage] #{i.pbThis} took damage from burn/harsh burn")
            if i.statusCount==0
              i.pbReduceHP((i.totalhp/8).floor)
            else
              i.pbReduceHP(((i.totalhp*i.effects[PBEffects::HarshBurn])/16).floor)
            end
            i.pbContinueStatus
          end
        end
      end

Step 4: In PokeBattle_AI paste this above elsif attacker.status==PBStatuses::POISON:

Spoiler:

if attacker.status==PBStatuses::BURN
        score+=40
          if skill>=PBTrainerAI.mediumSkill
          if attacker.hp<attacker.totalhp/8
            score+=60
          elsif skill>=PBTrainerAI.highSkill &&
             attacker.hp<(attacker.effects[PBEffects::HarshBurn]+1)*attacker.totalhp/16
            score+=60
          end
        end

after that go to:

Spoiler:

if skill>=PBTrainerAI.highSkill
      if @battlers[index].status==PBStatuses::POISON &&
         @battlers[index].statusCount>0
        toxicHP=(@battlers[index].totalhp/16)
        nextToxicHP=toxicHP*(@battlers[index].effects[PBEffects::Toxic]+1)
        if nextToxicHP>=@battlers[index].hp &&
           toxicHP<@battlers[index].hp && pbAIRandom(100)<80
          shouldswitch=true
        end
      end
    end

and paste this under it:

Spoiler:

if skill>=PBTrainerAI.highSkill
      if @battlers[index].status==PBStatuses::BURN &&
         @battlers[index].statusCount>0
        harshburnHP=(@battlers[index].totalhp/16)
        nextHarshBurnHP=harshburnHP*(@battlers[index].effects[PBEffects::HarshBurn]+1)
        if nextHarshBurnHP>=@battlers[index].hp &&
           harshburnHP<@battlers[index].hp && pbAIRandom(100)<80
          shouldswitch=true
        end
      end
    end

Step 5: Go to PokeBattle_Battler and paste this under toxic's attr_reader :status, above toxic

Spoiler:

def status=(value)
    if @status==PBStatuses::SLEEP && value==0
      @effects[PBEffects::Truant]=false
    end
    @status=value
    @pokemon.status=value if @pokemon
    if value!=PBStatuses::BURN
      @effects[PBEffects::HarshBurn]=0
    end
    if value!=PBStatuses::BURN && value!=PBStatuses::SLEEP
      @statusCount=0
      @pokemon.statusCount=0 if @pokemon
    end
  end

attr_reader :statusCount
then go to the @effects and paste this under toxic:

Spoiler:

@effects[PBEffects::HarshBurn]        = 0
then go to toxic's override lines and paste these under them:
override=true if USENEWBATTLEMECHANICS && thismove.function==0xC6 && # HarshBurn
                    thismove.basedamage==0 && user.pbHasType?(:FIRE)

Step 6 *Must do before play testing*: initialize the constant in PBEffects:

Spoiler:

HarshBurn          = ___

 

[NoNoNever]

Looks nice but its vor v17 or v18?

As long as there's coding for toxic, then it should be compatible any version. As far as I know, this should work for 16 onward.
