Solal NathanDo you know Poke-env?
It's a RL env compatible with Open AI's gym ecosystem that enables you to train RL agents to play competitive pokemon battles🥊
Ashish Gaurav@solalnathan That sounds pretty cool, but is it a challenging environment?
@ashishgaurav_13 you self-play, play against bots coded by others or play againts human opponents. The simulator is the open source game engine Pokemon Showdown (you can self host for training and play on the official instance against real players)
@solalnathan Is there any description of the battle transitions? For example, given two Pokemons where the user Pokemon makes a certain move, how are the new HPs calculated?
@ashishgaurav_13 It based on the exact same formula than in-game. You can check the source code here: https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-showdown
or directly try the calculator here:

nota bene: its generation dependent
@solalnathan I see, thanks for the link!
