Pokémon Ranger

Any likeness in naming to any DS series of videogames is purely coincidental. Ranger calculates ranges, nothing more and does some other stuff too.

pokemon-ranger's Issues

Exact IVs Can Fail Stat Checks

With Normal IV Range

With Exact IV

"Exp. Needed" Tool Error

The "Experience Needed to Next Level Up" works as intended most of the time. However when the last experience event is hidden, it produces an error (NaN).

vs.

Reset All does not reset current level on individual IV grids.

Exp. Route Builder: Gen 8 Experience

I'm routing a Sw/Sh TAM with the Ranger Exp Route Tool and noticing some very slight differences in EXP gain when actually playing through the route. For reference, the Exp Route Builder said I would level up off of Nessa's Goldeen but I actually leveled up off of the Corphish right before Nessa. If there is any additional info I can provide that would help, I'm happy to do so.

PLA Research Tasks: misc errors

tentacool's second task is listed as "Times you've seen it use Fire Blast" when it should be a light specimen task
lopunny's catch goals are listed as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 when they should be 1, 2, 4, 6, 10

Set IVs : )

Calculation Directives: Attribute for EV

Currently, the calculation directive uses the EV from the IV Tracker for the current (or specified) level. For highly situational routes, it would be nice to be able to specify the EV value directly (analogous to the level). This would be useful in games like FRLG (I'm trying to port my interactive notes to ranger), where you fight different trainers (with different EV yields) depending on the current situation.

Alternatively, it would be even better to be able to use conditionals with variables when specifying the EV blocks.

PLA Research Tasks - Unreadable in smaller window

Using the very helpful PLA Research Task tool while watching a youtube video with each snapped to one side of the screen. Even with the Research Task window as wide as can be when snapped, the text gets super doubled up on itself. I'm not sure if this is perhaps an issue on my end but wanted to submit it just in case it is general.

Thanks for these dope tool

EXP Router Requests

Some suggestions for easier use:

• Option to add Experience Event or Rare Candy to the top of the existing Experience Route (or to insert into a specific point in the list)
• Toggle to sort species list Alphabetically rather than by Pokedex number
• Separate [Experience Event] section into [Your Pokemon] and [Event Pokemon]. Currently the options for the Pokemon gaining the experience and the Pokemon giving experience are intermingled, making it confusing to know whether the prompt is for your Pokemon or the opponent's. For example, I don't know whether "Past Evolution Level" is about the Pokemon I'm routing or the event Pokemon.
• Option to select a specific event already in the Route Builder and edit it
• Option to minimize/hide portion of the Exp Route to declutter the page (Ex: hide up to Level 34)
• Vertical scrollbar for the Route (or have Exp Route Builder section follow you as scrolling down the page)

Hardy nature causes issues

If hardy nature then ranges end up breaking

PLA Research Tasks: arceus wrong point value

completing arceus's dex entry gives 200 research points ingame but only 20 on the tracker

Option to not render IV ranges

Just have the input selector, should be nicer for mobile devices

PLA Research Tasks: wrong bonuses on riolu

riolu's boosted tasks in-game are

• number caught
• times you've given it food
• number you've evolved

riolus boosted tasks on ranger are

• number caught
• number you've defeated with flying-type moves
• times you've given it food
• times you've stunned it by using items

IV inputer to show +0,+1,+2

Show +1 instead of just raw stats

Exp. Route Builder Suggestions

Some possible ideas for Exp. Route Builder:

• Option to tag different entries (by color)
• Edit an existing entry (to fix accidental typos, an unchecked box, etc.)
• Move an entry to specific point in the route besides drag and drop. (e.g. Move entry 2 to spot 32)
• Clearer divider between main exp tool and manual experience tool
• Remove Pokemon from dropdown list for Gens they're inaccessible in (remove regional variants from pre-gen7 games, remove Gmax from all but gen8, remove pokemon not in the dex from Gen 8, etc.)
• Method to see experience needed to reach next level at any given point (especially useful for optimal Rare Candy usage)

Tentacool research inaccuracy

In the program it lists Times you've seen it use Fire Blast as a research task, but in game it is Number of light specimens you've caught.

The right pane when viewing a route doesn't respect light theme when toggled on.

I am unsure if this is an error or an oversight or something simply not being planned, but as dark theme is difficult for some people (like myself) to read (white text on dark background can look very blurry to some folks with astigmatism, to the point it's unreadable and unusable) it may be helpful for accessibility if the light/dark theme toggle respected the pane with the actual range calculations, to match the left pane with other information on the route itself. Thanks for your time and consideration.

Exp Route Tool: Species-Label Sync

When typing in a Pokemon's name into the Species dropdown, the auto-filling fields below it (Label + Base Experience) sometimes do not "catch up" to the name you land on. For example, I was typing in "Meowth" to find Meowth-galar. I arrived at the Species name, but the auto-fill information landed on "Muk-alola". Another example was typing in for "Durant" and getting the autofill for "Duraludon-Gmax". If I click "Add" in its current state, the Exp projection will be for Alolan Muk, not Galarian Meowth. As I've been typing in the names, I would estimate this glitch occurs about 10-15% of the time.

As of now the easy workaround is just to select another name from the list, and then reselect the intended name. However this is dependant on me noticing the mis-sync before clicking add.

Drag and drop file to import (pla-research) no longer working

I was using the drag and drop for the pla-research.json and it is no longer working. I drag onto the page and nothing happens now.

Thank you for the work on this, it's fantastic!

Gen 7 Affection

Appears to not account for affection boost when using Gen 7 Exp.
Works fine for Gen 6

Potential Error with gen 6+ damage calculation

When doing some calculations on the Ranger app, I noticed a calculation that didn't lineup with what was put into the notes for the Sword Sobble route, when I used Showdown to replicate these damage rolls, these confirmed that there was some difference between the damage rolls from Ranger compared to Showdown.

Tracker used showing gen 8:

Calculation used:
::damage[*Water Pledge Range]{source="Sobble" level=46 evolution=2 offensive=true special=true evs=24 movePower=80 stab=true torrent=true otherPowerModifier=1.2 opponentLevel=42 opponentStat=101}

Ranger output:

Showdown output for 31 neutral SpAk:

Routes - Damage calculations are inaccurate

The damage calc on routes are not showing correct damage calcs. for example, on the alpha sapphire any% route, the damage calcs are not the actual damage that is being dealt.

nosepass damage calc:

hideki calc:

weather conditions not calculated correctly

I tried using weatherBoosted=true and weatherReduced=true but the calculations do not change. I tried using True and WeatherReduced and weatherreduced but no changes either.
