Hi everyone! As the title suggests, I created a tool that automatically converts Showdown formatted teams hosted on pokepast.es into PBS output. I think the tool is useful if you find yourself needing to build a lot of teams, since in my experience, Showdown teams are a lot easier to build, edit, and validate quickly. The tool itself takes in a list of Pokepaste URLs and outputs a series of text files with PBS formatted teams. Right now, it supports all pokemon, their (battle-relevant) forms, including Aevian regional forms, and any items and moves currently in the game. The tool also works with mods that have custom items / moves / abilities, as long as you have the relevant PBS files. For more info on how to use the tool and all its features, check out the README included in the zip. As long as you have Python 3, you should be able to use this tool; the other dependencies should be installed for you as long as you follow the readme's setup section. If you have any questions, find a bug to report, or just want to tell me about your experience using this, feel free to contact me on Discord!

Also, knock off doesn't seem to indicate what item was knocked off if the opposing pokemon faints, which can sometimes be useful information - I'm also not sure if this is a mechanics issue with reviving a pokemon who fainted to knock off and if they keep their item or not

Protect doesn't fail in single battles when it isn't the first thing done (for example when the opponent switches out or uses an item); not sure how this canonically works in doubles While walking around in the east side of Neo Gearen, my team randomly reset to where it was a couple of levels ago, including writing in pokemon I had deposited into the PC over pokemon currently in my party (so I got some duplicates and permanently lost some pokemon.) This happened pretty soon after I used the glitch to deposit one of Ren's pokemon in my PC, in my first time in Neo Gearen I don't know if this is intended, but during cutscenes when the player is following scripted movement you can pull up the quicksave menu and save. This is usually actually a helpful feature to skip some dialogue when soft resetting for fights, but autosave also seems to be able to take advantage of this window, which can be really annoying It seems pretty easy to softlock around the Blacksteeple fight with Madelis - if you lose you get taken back to your cell, and if you leave the cell you automatically get taken into the fight with no chance to change your party. I'm not sure if there's a hidden mechanism to fix this, as I haven't played with it too much

Persian - Increases crit stage by 1; landing a critical hit boosts attack by +1/+2 (callback to its always landing crits in gen 1) Muk or Toxicroak (makes sense for either) - Pokemon poisoned / badly poisoned by this pokemon take twice as much damage each turn. This pokemon can poison steel types. Primeape - gets Gorilla Tactics Pachirisu - On turns when this pokemon doesn't protect, it automatically gets the follow me effect, and additionally gains the effect of static, in honor of the time it was a national champion Genesect - If one of the drives Genesect has access to would cause techno blast to be super effective, techno blast deals super effective damage Whimsicott - While this pokemon is active, your team has Tailwind applied (ends immediately if it faints / switches out) Vespiquen - Vespiquen controls a swarm of Combees, by default buzzing around her, increasing defense and special defense by one stage and healing 1/8 hp per turn. Attack Order sends the Combees to attack the target, dealing 1/8 hp per turn but losing the defensive benefits. Defend and Heal Order return the bees to Vespiquen. Absol - Sensing danger, Absol dodges the first attack per battle that would knock it out.
