Battle Simulator

For raids and gym battle simulations, Pokebattler offers many different attack strategies depending on your playing style. The most popular for raid battles is no dodging, as dodging tends to make the clock run out too fast, and between bugs and lag, often doesn’t work anyways. Here are the definitions of each attack strategy:

• No Dodging – Use your fast attacks as quickly as possible until you can unleash your charge attack
• Only Fast Moves – Use your fast moves as quickly as possible.
• Dodge Specials – Use fast attacks until you can dodge their special, then use your charge attack.
• Dodge Specials PRO – Use fast and charge moves as soon as you can, but dodge their charge attack.
• Dodge All – Use fast attacks and dodge their moves until you can dodge their charge attack, then use your charge attack.
• Dodge All PRO – Use fast attacks and charge attacks in between dodging all their moves.
• Dodge All Weave –This is the scaredy cat of pokebattler dodge simulations. Dodge All Weave will always assume the worst. It’ll always assume the move will come at the shortest possible delay — technically speaking it always assumes a “Defender Delay” of 1.5s. It wants to guarantee it can dodge the next attack. It is something that can be reproduced by real humans playing the game.

We added dodge strategies as a way to fine-tune the attack strategy algorithm to give more even realistic results. They are used to account for human error, bugs, and other variations. For example, when you choose “dodge all’ as your strategy, that assumes you dodge every attack. However, that’s basically impossible. If you then select “realistic dodging’ to your dodge all, you will get a more realistic result that accounts for human error, game bugs, and delays, etc. Dodge strategies aren’t useful if you select the no dodging attack strategy since you aren’t dodging at all. These are the definitions for each dodge strategy.

• Perfect Dodging – Tries to dodge 100% of the time. This dodge strategy will almost never miss a dodge. You may still get hit in certain unavoidable situations such as when using a special move.
• Realistic Dodging – Attempts to simulate a realistic human dodger. Dodges vary from 50% success rate for a fast 1-second move to 90% success rate for a slow 3.5-second move. In addition, if the attacker is using either super effective or not effective attacks, there is an additional 25% penalty to dodging, dropping the success rate to 37.5% to 67.5%. Finally, a small bonus for faster attacker moves is added based on how much faster the move is than the dodge flash.
• Realistic Dodging Pro – Attempts to simulate a realistic experienced human dodger. Dodges vary from 70% success rate for a fast 1-second move to 90% success rate for a slow 3.5-second move. In addition, if the attacker is using either super effective or not effective attacks, there is an additional 10% penalty to dodging, dropping the success rate to 63.0% to 81.0%. Finally, a small bonus for faster attack moves is added based on how much faster the move is than the dodge flash.
• 25% Dodging – Chooses to dodge 25% of the time.
• 50% Dodging – Chooses to dodge 50% of the time.
• 75% Dodging – Chooses to dodge 75% of the time.
• 90% Dodging – Chooses to dodge 90% of the time.
