[Plugin] Advanced AI System - Master-Tier Intelligence
DISCLAIMER: This plugin is a complex system overhaul. While extensively tested, there may still be unknown bugs. Please report any issues you encounter!
Advanced AI System is a comprehensive overhaul for the Pokémon Essentials AI, designed for high-difficulty gameplay. It replaces the standard decision-making process with a smart, state-aware system that understands roles, field effects, and long-term strategy.
This plugin transforms your trainers from predictable opponents into tactical masterminds that predict switches, abuse field effects, and coordinate in double battles.

Key Features
- Competitive Switch Logic: The AI proactively switches out into better matchups, taking into account Type Matchups, Stats, and Role Counters.
- Move Memory System: Tracks every move you use. The AI remembers if you have a Super Effective coverage move or a Priority move and plays around it.
- Threat Assessment: Calculates a dynamic "Threat Score" (0-10) for your active Pokémon based on its offensive pressure and defensive capabilities.
- Role Detection: Automatically identifies if a Pokémon is a Sweeper, Wall, Tank, Support, or Pivot and adjusts tactics accordingly (e.g., Walls will Toxic-Stall, Sweepers will Setup).
- Field Mastery: Fully understands Weather, Terrain, and Trick Room. It won't use Solar Beam in Rain or Earthquake on Grassy Terrain.
- Doubles Coordination: Prevents "Overkill" (doubling up on a 1HP target) and optimizes Spread Moves (e.g., using Earthquake next to a Flying partner).
- DBK Integration: Full support for Dynamax and Terastallization (if installed). The AI uses these mechanics strategically, not randomly.
Config & Usage
This plugin integrates naturally with Essentials. You don't need complex script calls—simply configure your Trainers where they belong: in your PBS files.
