[Scripting Question] Switching Pokemon AI

[Carbury]

Hi all!

I have been working (in PokeBattle_AI) to improve the way that the AI selects the pokemon when has to change to a new one.
I want AI to select a new pokemon which has a x2 or x4 effectivity move against player's current pokemon and is not a status move, but I am not able to get it.

I tried so many codes, but this is the last one that I have been testing:

if shouldswitch
    list=[]
    party = pbParty(index)
    opp1 = @battlers[index].pbOpposing1
    for i in 0..party.length-1
     if ((PBTypes.getCombinedEffectiveness(party[i].moves[0].type,opp1.type1,opp1.type2,opp1.effects[PBEffects::Type3])>8) && !(party[i].moves[0].pbIsStatus?))
       list.unshift(i) # put this Pokemon first
       pbRegisterSwitch(index,list[0])
     end
     if ((PBTypes.getCombinedEffectiveness(party[i].moves[1].type,opp1.type1,opp1.type2,opp1.effects[PBEffects::Type3])>8) && !(party[i].moves[1].pbIsStatus?))
       list.unshift(i) # put this Pokemon first
       pbRegisterSwitch(index,list[0])
     end
     if ((PBTypes.getCombinedEffectiveness(party[i].moves[2].type,opp1.type1,opp1.type2,opp1.effects[PBEffects::Type3])>8) && !(party[i].moves[2].pbIsStatus?))
       list.unshift(i) # put this Pokemon first
       pbRegisterSwitch(index,list[0])
     end
     if ((PBTypes.getCombinedEffectiveness(party[i].moves[3].type,opp1.type1,opp1.type2,opp1.effects[PBEffects::Type3])>8) && !(party[i].moves[3].pbIsStatus?))
       list.unshift(i) # put this Pokemon first
       pbRegisterSwitch(index,list[0])
     end
    end
  end

Which shows this error:

Spoiler:

Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method `pbIsStatus?' for #<PBMove:0x9f245a8 @pp=5, @ppup=0, @id=87>

If someone could help me with this code or show me another way to do what I want, I'll really appreciate it.

Regards!

Maybe this thread can be of use to you.

I read that post, but didn't find anything useful. What Narhok is trying to do is to improve when the AI should switch his pokemon, and what I am trying is to tell the AI what pokemon it should switch.

Anyways, I appreciate the help. Thank you Telemetius :)
