Returning the base stats of a mon?

[Krigeris]

Hi, I'm using someone elses script which randomly generates pokemon in each instance you are going to battle one. I'm attempting to set it up in a way where the pokemon are in separate tiers based on base stats.

species = rand(PBSpecies.maxValue - 1) + 1
bs = PBSpecies::species.baseStats <-- this line is incorrect, but I have no idea what syntax or methods I should use
for i in 0..5
baseStatTotal += bs
end

I'm attempting to store the base stats of the randomly generated "species" into "bs" and then add them up in the loop but I'm crashing on use. What exactly should I write in for " bs = PBSpecies::species.baseStats" to get the base stats into "bs"

  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
    bst=0
    for i in bs
      bst+=i
    end
    return bst
  end

Thank you very much, works like a charm

Though I am confused as to why the "i" in the chunk of code below automatically knows to give you bs

for i in bs
bst+=i
end

Because the variable i isn't actually the index of the entry in the table, but the actual entry. If you want i to be the index, you'd have to use something like

for i in 0...bs.length
