Just a curiosity

Hey everyone,

Do you mind sharing what elo is your agent and what does it play? I have been training some for random battles over the months without any decent results. Was curious of how others are doing :)

try training in ou, in gen8 randbats, the nature is always random so kinda impossible to determine the exact stat

[SomeRandomGuy009]

mine reached about 1700 and currently is at 1600+

[mancho2000]

woa nice! much better than mine :) was that in ou?

yep, random battles doesn't yield good results because of "random natures"...maybe it would yield good output if the bot had a random_battle_sets.json file which it could look through every turn to assume the nature of a poke?

@SomeRandomGuy009 what algorithm are you using to train your agent?

well, i don't train agents...the algo i use for battles depends upon the bot's current elo. If it goes above 1500, predictions work quite often so it's minimax for that range. Below 1500, it's like simple heuristics.

Oh are you using something like pmariglia's agent?

something like that but worse...currently, trying to understand his code
