Ninetales-Alola, Roaring Moon, Incineroar and Torkoal switch in:

1. Ninetales' Snow Warning activates.
2. Roaring Moon's Booster Energy activates, boosting its Attack.
3. Incineroar's Intimidate activates.
4. Torkoal's Drought activates.

I think it would be a lot simpler to just have Protosynthesis and Quark Drive handle activating Booster Energy themselves.

Just the onWeatherChange, or the onUpdate as well? I though about that, but you would still need some kind of onUpdate for when Booster Energy is tricked to you. I don't know how much that would simplify things.

Just the onWeatherChange part

I don't know. It is basically the same amount of code with one less method, and I think it makes less sense from a Separation of Concerns point of view. Protosynthesis exists on its own, while Booster Energy doesn't.

Yeah, I suppose it’s better to have all the isTransformed checks in one place, and I wouldn’t put it past Game Freak to bring back Protosynthesis and Quark Drive in a future gen without Booster Energy.
