How to make rival take Pokemon in Essentials?

[Neirn]

Hey, PC. I made this account for help with events with the rival. I want him to take the Pokemon with the type advantage and can't figure it out after using the tutorial on starter Pokemon on the Essentials Wiki. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Problem resolved.

You just make the player character fight different version of the rival character based on what Pokemon the Player character took. Take a game variable, set it to 1 if they take the grass, 2 if they take the water, and 3 if they take the fire. Then when they battle have it check that and set up a trainer battle against the appropriate version of the rival.

I've done that already. I meant the cutscene-like event after the player picks their starter.

All you need are move routes for the rival's event. This is done in exactly the same way as the player's move routes after they choose a starter, which there is a good example of in the example maps.
