A fork of the discontinued mod CobblemonTrainers by selfdot. For a similar mod on 1.21.1 (fabric) please check out RCT API.

Overview

• Create custom Cobblemon trainer battles in the mod's config or ingame through a simple setup interface.
• EX Adds: Much more capable battle AI for trainers that adapts to the battle.
• EX Adds: Compatability for custom Double battles with Cobblemon Showdown (soft dependency, FORGE only!).
• Compatible with the dependents of the original CobblemonTrainers (with Radical Cobblemon Trainers)

❗Requires Architectury API. Make sure to remove the original CobblemonTrainers from your mods folder if you use this mod.

The AI

Trainers now consider many factors in a battle instead of clicking the biggest number. The AI reasons about type matchups, speed, switching, status, setup, weather and terrain, entry hazards, screens, and Protect, and it coordinates both slots in doubles. Difficulty is a single number (level 0 to 11): low levels play semi-random, high levels make sharp plays by combining the features of the lower levels. By default it only uses the set information it can learn through the battle.

Without setting any AI for a specific trainer, they will default to level 4.
