+
+This feature will implement different trainer classes sending out their Pokemon in different Poke Balls, just like in Gen 7.
+
+First, this will require a new struct to be made in [include/battle_main.h](../blob/master/include/battle_main.h):
+```c
+struct TrainerBall
+{
+    u8 classId;
+    u8 Ball; // make this a u16 if needed
+};
+```
+
+Now that we have the struct, we need to pair all the trainer classes to a Poke Ball type. Add this table to [src/battle_main.c](../blob/master/src/battle_main.c):
+```c
+const struct TrainerBall gTrainerBallTable[] = {
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_TEAM_AQUA, ITEM_NET_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_AQUA_ADMIN, ITEM_NET_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_AQUA_LEADER, ITEM_MASTER_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_AROMA_LADY, ITEM_FRIEND_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_RUIN_MANIAC, ITEM_DUSK_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_INTERVIEWER, ITEM_REPEAT_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_TUBER_F, ITEM_DIVE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_TUBER_M, ITEM_DIVE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_SIS_AND_BRO, ITEM_POKE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_COOLTRAINER, ITEM_ULTRA_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_HEX_MANIAC, ITEM_DUSK_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_LADY, ITEM_LUXURY_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_BEAUTY, ITEM_LOVE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_RICH_BOY, ITEM_LUXURY_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_POKEMANIAC, ITEM_MOON_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_SWIMMER_M, ITEM_DIVE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_BLACK_BELT, ITEM_HEAVY_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_GUITARIST, ITEM_FAST_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_KINDLER, ITEM_POKE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_CAMPER, ITEM_NEST_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_OLD_COUPLE, ITEM_POKE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_BUG_MANIAC, ITEM_NET_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_PSYCHIC, ITEM_DREAM_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_GENTLEMAN, ITEM_LUXURY_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_ELITE_FOUR, ITEM_ULTRA_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_LEADER, ITEM_ULTRA_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_SCHOOL_KID, ITEM_POKE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_SR_AND_JR, ITEM_POKE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_POKEFAN, ITEM_POKE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_EXPERT, ITEM_ULTRA_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_YOUNGSTER, ITEM_POKE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_CHAMPION, ITEM_CHERISH_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_FISHERMAN, ITEM_LURE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_TRIATHLETE, ITEM_FAST_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_DRAGON_TAMER, ITEM_ULTRA_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_BIRD_KEEPER, ITEM_QUICK_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_NINJA_BOY, ITEM_QUICK_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_BATTLE_GIRL, ITEM_HEAVY_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_PARASOL_LADY, ITEM_POKE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_SWIMMER_F, ITEM_DIVE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_PICNICKER, ITEM_FRIEND_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_TWINS, ITEM_POKE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_SAILOR, ITEM_DIVE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_COLLECTOR, ITEM_REPEAT_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_PKMN_TRAINER_3, ITEM_PREMIER_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_PKMN_BREEDER, ITEM_TIMER_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_PKMN_RANGER, ITEM_SAFARI_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_TEAM_MAGMA, ITEM_NEST_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_MAGMA_ADMIN, ITEM_NEST_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_MAGMA_LEADER, ITEM_MASTER_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_LASS, ITEM_POKE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_BUG_CATCHER, ITEM_NET_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_HIKER, ITEM_HEAVY_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_YOUNG_COUPLE, ITEM_LOVE_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_WINSTRATE, ITEM_GREAT_BALL},
+    {TRAINER_CLASS_PKMN_TRAINER_2, ITEM_HEAVY_BALL},
+    {0xFF, ITEM_POKE_BALL},
+};
+```
+You are free to customize this table to your liking.
+
+Finally, we need to have the trainers use the Poke Balls we defined earlier. In the `CreateNPCTrainerParty` function of [src/battle_main.c](../blob/master/src/battle_main.c), add the following:
+```diff
+                 for (j = 0; j < MAX_MON_MOVES; j++)
+                 {
+                     SetMonData(&party[i], MON_DATA_MOVE1 + j, &partyData[i].moves[j]);
+                     SetMonData(&party[i], MON_DATA_PP1 + j, &gBattleMoves[partyData[i].moves[j]].pp);
+                 }
+                 break;
+             }
+             }
++            for (j = 0; gTrainerBallTable[j].classId != 0xFF; j++)
++            {
++                if (gTrainerBallTable[j].classId == gTrainers[trainerNum].trainerClass)
++                    break;
++            }
++            SetMonData(&party[i], MON_DATA_POKEBALL, &gTrainerBallTable[j].Ball);
+         }
+ 
+         gBattleTypeFlags |= gTrainers[trainerNum].doubleBattle;
+     }
+ 
+     return gTrainers[trainerNum].partySize;
+ }
+```
+
+And that's it!
