Enhanced Duel Mechanics

The dueling system has undergone a comprehensive overhaul with the following advanced features now implemented:

• Abilities: Every Pokémon's unique ability is now fully functional, affecting battles with their passive effects or activating under specific conditions.
• Hazards: Entry hazards such as Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Toxic Spikes can be set during battles, gradually wearing down opponent Pokémon upon entry.
• Status Moves: Moves that inflict status conditions like Sleep, Paralysis, Burn, Poison, and Freeze are now fully integrated, impacting battle dynamics and strategy.
• Weather Changes: Weather conditions such as Rain, Sun, Hail, and Sandstorm can now be triggered, influencing the power and accuracy of certain moves while introducing environmental effects.
• PP Management: Each move now has a limited number of uses per battle (PP), requiring strategic management to ensure effective use throughout the match.

These enhancements bring a new level of depth and realism to duels, closely mirroring the complexities and strategies found in the Pokémon main series games. Trainers can now engage in battles that demand careful planning and adaptability, making every encounter a thrilling test of skill and strategy.
