Smart Battle AI for Cobblemon

Smart Battle AI is a mod for Cobblemon 1.7.1 on Minecraft 1.21.1 that significantly improves Pokémon battle AI. The goal of this mod is to make NPC trainer battles more strategic, challenging, and closer to the experience found in the main Pokémon games.

Pokémon AI has been improved to make smarter move selections, prioritizing more effective attacks and avoiding random decisions whenever possible. In addition, NPC trainers are now equipped with a dynamic item system based on the median level of their team, allowing them to use healing and support items during battle.

Intelligent Pokémon Switching

NPC trainers use an intelligent switching system that evaluates type advantages and disadvantages when deciding whether to stay in battle or switch to a more suitable Pokémon. This helps prevent trainers from keeping a Pokémon on the field in clearly unfavorable matchups, resulting in more dynamic and strategic battles.

Current Development Status

This mod is currently in beta and should be considered a work in progress.

So far, it has only been tested on a custom adventure map with custom trainers, where it has shown promising results. However, it has not yet been tested with RTC (Cobblemon Trainers), so compatibility and AI behavior in that environment remain unknown and require further testing.

Additional testing and balancing will be necessary before the mod can be considered stable. Any feedback, bug reports, balance suggestions, or compatibility reports are greatly appreciated and will help improve future versions of the mod.
