Custom Switch in Ai (Exclusively made by the creator for this Game)
This flowchart shows how the AI decides which Pokemon to bring in during battle. Instead of picking randomly, it looks at each team member and asks things like: Can this Pokemon deal good damage? Is it faster than the opponent? Can it survive a hit? Could it score a knockout? Special cases like Ditto, Wobbuffet, and Wynaut are treated a bit differently. Every option gets a score based on how good of a switch it would be, and the AI picks the one with the highest score—making its switches smarter and more strategic.
