Batch Editor randomize ability

[Phyore]

Attemping to use the Batch Editor to set a random ability onto each of my party pokemon. I am attempting to use
.Ability=$rand
But when it runs it seems to have no affect on the party. Is there a better way to go about that?

$rand is only used for 32bit values like PID.

Refer to the batch editor guide on how to randomize values within a specified range.

Your syntax is wrong.

=Box=31
.Ability=$1,267

EDIT: Actually, running this specific command seems to have PKHeX automatically correct the Ability afterwards.

Running .Ability=69 will correctly set all PKMs to have the Ability Rock Head, but running .Ability=$x,y will correct their Ability to be whatever their second standard Ability is.

Yeah, from what I see $1 will set it to first ability and $2 the second (From a legit pokemon) but trying to get it to use a random number between 1 and 267 doesn't seem to work. As you mentioned .Ability=69 will function correctly.

It mostly feels like it might not be using that "pick a number between" correctly (Or at least I am doing something wrong)

Revised logic in latest commit.

.Ability=$1,267

^ now works to randomize between 1 and 267.

I will either work out how to build it or download the release when ready! Thank you!

Works great, thanks!
