Come on, there's no need to be offended over a few statements in my post. If it isn't a waste of time for you, then more power to you. For me, it's tedious. Because grinding for a HA Dratini, hatching all of those eggs, and making sure it has Multiscale and IVs and everything- it does take up a lot of time. There isn't really any badge that says "moderator" on your name so I have less reason to take this seriously, as it seems like you're just triggered over something I said. I've since moved on the topic of my posts here to trying to set up a Gen 7 Battle Tree team, and I think should be all that matters.
im not offended or "triggered" at all and the fact that that's how you interpreted my post indicates to me that you're just pissed at being called out but whatever
Are there any resources discussing datamining of AI behavior? I wanted to create a lightweight web simulator of the Tree to test things without having to go through the breeding process over and over, but I wasn't able to find any material on what the AI does/does not do.
as far as I know the AI was never even datamined in previous gens so the likelihood of any info existing in gen 7 is ... questionable. research in the maison thread tends to suggest that gen 6 Maison AI (and probably the implication is it carries over to gen 7 I'd presume, but I don't yet have sun/moon so i can't check for myself) is that the AI will consistently go for the weakest attack that is guaranteed to KO your Pokémon (taking into account IVs/EVs, natures, and type effectiveness, but
not accuracy). If no attack is a guaranteed KO, it seems their move selection is random. I think, though I haven't done enough battling to know for sure, that if no attack is a guaranteed KO on your Pokémon, and the enemy has non-damaging moves, they use those kind of randomly as well (as several people have experienced with for instance Aurorus using Sandstorm, Hail, Sandstorm). I
believe also, if a KO is not guaranteed and they have a stat boosting move that boosts their primary attack stat, they'll use that pretty consistently
until a KO is guaranteed. Things with status-inflicting moves seem to like to use them on the first turn, as Trick Roomers.
This is all from pretty limited experience so I might be wrong in a few places. There's a lot of discussion about Maison AI tendencies in that thread, though, so you could look there.
