This release introduces basic gen 9 support. Random battles is the main format that has been tested - things are probably still a bit broken more generally. If you encounter something weird, please open an issue.

Features:

• Basic gen 9 support, including tera support
• Gen 9 effects
• Revamped data update scripts

Bug fixes:

• Typos in docs (https://github.com/hsahovic/poke-env/issues/361)
• Fix a bug where spread zmoves message could freeze a battle
• Fix a bug where a disabled move error message could freeze a battle
• Fix recharge Move data
• Fix a bug in simple heurstic player choose move (https://github.com/hsahovic/poke-env/issues/376)
• Fix a bug where some moves referencing other moves would get two pp uses instead of one (https://github.com/hsahovic/poke-env/issues/355)
• Fix a bug where indented PS teams couldn't get parsed (https://github.com/hsahovic/poke-env/issues/367)
• Fix max PP count. Now assumes maxed out PPs (https://github.com/hsahovic/poke-env/issues/355)

• poke_env.utils are now poke_env.stats
• Create data submodule
• Create GenData class
• Bug fix: active pokemon is not set correctly when not all mons are selected in team-preview

This release is a step towards gen 9 support. Preliminary gen 9 support is available on #351

• Rework gym API to be synchronous
• Add misc effects
• Fix misc bugs
• Update data
• Drop python 3.6 support and add python 3.10
• Revamp inits

Thanks to @MatteoH2O1999 and @akashsara for your amazing work :)

• Add replay saving feature to Player objects - use Player(..., save_replays=True) to try it out!
• Unify ability representation
• Better handling of hiddenpower, especially in gens < 8
• Add missing AbstractBattle abstract_property values
• Add Battle.opponent_can_mega_evolve / Battle.opponent_can_z_move properties

• Update data files
• Improve move message parsing
• Better capping of number of moves (to 4)
• Clarify Battle.weather typing

Minor:

• calling EnvPlayer.step when reset wasn't called raises an Exception, as per some open ai gym implementations

This release adds:

• handling of -swapsideconditions messages
• log.info /log pm messages instead of log.warning them
• Fix hidden power Moves initialization - their type is now correctly inferred
• Fix hanging env_player.reset when called before the current battle is finished
• env_player.complete_current_battle now forfeits instead of performing random moves until the battle finishes
• env_player.step(-1) forfeits the battle

• Coroutines are no longer stored in PlayerNetworkInterface - this should eliminate a bug where keeping Player objects around for a great number of battles lead to a monotonic increase in RAM usage
• Set Pokemon object ability property when there's only one possibility
• Better ability parsing
• Better items parsing
