It's hyperlinked but I guess you missed it. Github won't render it since its a pdf but you can download it. https://github.com/baskuit/pinyon/blob/master/docs/references/Intro%20to%20Pokemon.pdf

Your solution agrees with my own analysis from a couple years back. The sucker punch "50/50" (not quite evenly weighted as you discovered) is one of the simplest examples of a mixed Nash Equilibrium in pokemon. Simultaneous move games (regardless of whether or not they are otherwise perfect...

I'm working on search in Pokemon to create engines/solvers and a library for their development. The first phase of this is creating effective MCTS and AlphaBeta solvers in the perfect info setting. I was advised to create a target to compare the output of my library to, so I wrote a C++ program...

I'm a math person. I like applying mathematics to pokemon. DM me if u feel the same (and have at least a B.Sc math education! tbh!!!) I have some interesting stuff to talk about (if I may say so). Making a tool for analysis. Also trying to be vague. Dont bump

Conversion 2 in gen 3 seems to only fail https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-1258359698-i7monn1caq5pozmjdh6xw8ujp4es7jxpw https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-1258355384-o0z78tqo0mqkfblxnnclxwu834krwmkpw BUG STATUS: FIXED by Marty

A few days ago I agreed with many of the points that pasy and watermess made. To briefly reiterate, cacturne can go absolutely buckwild on passive teams (whats dual stab dol, or refresh milo gonna do to stop it even without sand?) Is that a positive thing? Who cares! As a mono offence ladder...

I'm gonna report that I think I've identified to camouflage bug in gen3. The comments on the source code indicate that Ground is the correct new type in gen 5. I will assume this is true, but in gen3 a link battle should change to Normal type. It seems as though gen3/gen4 simply inherit this...

Following up on my bug report, it seems that Fury Cutter is only bugged (does not double power) in gens 2 and 3. Gen 4 works normally but I have not tested later gens. BUG STATUS: FIXED by Marty New bug: Camouflage (starmie's signature type changing move that nothing else gets) does not work as...

At least in ADV, the move FURY CUTTER is bugged so that it does not boost damage on successive hits. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-1118995209 (This is a really minimal example, but I have tested it with other pokes and other targets) BUG STATUS: FIXED by Marty
