Pokemon Simulator

Pokémon Simulator GitHub repository

This is an ongoing project with two main goals:

1. To create a working simulator for 1v1 Pokémon battles.

2. To use the simulator to explore applications of game theory to Pokémon:

• Filling out teams to counter different metagames.
• Considering mathematically correct moves mid-battle.
• Adjusting strategies as Pokémon are knocked out.

The simulator will be able to read in text files for teams. The files will follow the same import/export format that Pokémon Showdown uses.

Metagame analysis will be based on the current metagame on Smogon.

Metadata used to generate Pokémon for battle is pulled from pokeapi.co.
