BRICKHAX - Gen 3 OU Showdown Bot

• 

  The Brickhack Hero, Suicune

Inspiration

I was inspired by TheThirdBuild, who explored this concept from a different angle, and JimothyCool, who cultivated my interest in this competitive format.

What it does

This bot queue's the Gen 3 OU Ladder on the main showdown server and battles real human opponents.

How I built it

I built this using pmariglia's Python Showdown library

Challenges we ran into

In a game where any turn can have an uncountable number of states, there are an absurd amount of edge cases

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I bet my friend $5 that I could hit 1200+ Elo and I did

What I learned

There's a ton of potential in this battle simulator, and the infinite nature of Pokemon makes this very interesting.

What's next for BRICKHAX - Gen 3 OU Showdown Bot

New variants, comparisons between versions, let it run long term and see the results
