Wow, I looked at the log and I must say I'm impressed. It might not be saying much, but this already seems much better than in-game AI (unless 5th gen had some drastic improvement, which I doubt). I'm currently working on a minimax AI for school, so I thought a bit of how one would make such a program... How exactly do you handle randomness ? Creating a new branch for every 10% burn chance would be way too expensive with negligible benefits, but evaluating both outcomes seems like an absolute necessity for moves like WoW or Focus Blast.
As for team prediction, I just made for Blue Kirby a slightly modified PO server that saves, for each battle, a complete log of the movesets used. Thanks to 5th Gen's team preview, such detailed data should help you make better guesses of what the opponent's sets are.
