You may have seen a few months ago that I created an [AI vs AI Pokemon Tournament, using the best trainers from the Indigo Plateau](https://old.reddit.com/r/stunfisk/comments/pcnr3b/ai_vs_ai_pokemon_tournament_the_great_indigo/). Well today I have decided it is the turn of Hoenn!
Like last time I will be using [this](https://github.com/pmariglia/showdown) pokemon showdown bot to make this work. The teams have ben fed into it, and two instances of the bot are running. Bot 1 will challenge Bot 2 to a Gen 7 anything goes match on Pokemon Showdown. The replay is then saved to my PC and live commentary is recorded.
The tournament bracket was randomly drawn, with [this](https://i.imgur.com/3UdnzzU.png) being the outcome.
The trainers team composition was selected by using their strongest appearance within a Pokemon game. So all of the Gym Leaders’ teams were selected from their appearance in Black/White 2’s Pokemon World Tournament. The Elite 4 + Wally is done from their appearance in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
All of the Gym Leaders teams had held items, so to counter this all of the E4+W teams have been given held items based on recommendations from Pokemon Showdown and Smogon. Any pokemon that could Mega Evolve has has its evolutionite stone taken away, and replaced with a standard held item to keep things fair.
I have added a very brief run down of who won each battle, for anyone that wants to see the results, along with a timestamp for the video if anyone wants to watch a specific battle. That being said the video will provide you with the replays if anyone wants to watch. This took a lot of time, so watching on YouTube and leaving some form of interaction would be greatly appreciated, but of course I understand if not! The results are spoiler tagged. [THE VIDEO CAN BE FOUND HERE](https://youtu.be/Wlce21DoIi8)
I should also state that the AI isn’t a replica of each characters AI in the games. This is just a bot playing how it thinks is best against the other bot.
