  11. I. Introduction
  12. ----------------------
  13.  
  14. Listed below are nine standard strats for Tate & Liza in Emerald. All of them do not use a Rock Smash slave. Timings assume no critical hits and no Ancientpower (because Claydol can always use Psychic instead).
  15.  
  16. Major variables:
  17. - Number of X Specials required (1 or 2)
  18. - The most optimal HP you can heal to before Xatu's first move ("safe" = safe from EQ+EQ+Xatu's Psychic; "Psy" = safe from EQ+EQ+EQ but not EQ+EQ+Psychic; "2 EQs" = 2 EQs into Torrent)
  19. - Claydol's move on Castform (100% EQ, not 100% EQ)
  20. - Whether Castform can tank a Psychic from Claydol
  21.  
  22. You need 2 X Specials unless you have x/27/8+ Sp. Atk. Xatu and Lunatone are still damage ranges on the low end of 1 X Special strats, but they are favorable enough.
  23.  
  24. ----------------------
  25. II. AI details
  26. ----------------------
  27.  
  28. These are based on observations and some testing, NOT the code itself.
  29.  
  30. - All attacking moves, including multi-target moves, select an enemy target according to priority
  31. - +2 priority given if the move is guaranteed to OHKO the target
  32. - +1 priority given if the move is a range to OHKO the target
  33. - +1 priority given if the move is Earthquake
  34. - -2 priority given if the move does not affect the target
  35. - -2 priority given if the move cannot OHKO the target and is not the most-damaging move available
  36. - -2 priority given if the move is Confuse Ray and the target has <50% HP
  37. - If a move+target has 2 more priority than any other move, it will always be selected
  38. - If a move+target has 1 more priority than any other move, it will usually be selected
  39. - If priority is equal, move+target is random
  40.

  42. III. Strat chart
  43. ----------------------
  44.  
  45. If 1 X Spec, the most optimal HP is 2 EQs, then Psy, then safe
  46. If 2 X Specs and 100%, the most optimal HP is Psy, then safe
  47. If 2 X Specs and Other, the most optimal HP is safe
  48.  
  49. X SPEC HP Claydol Tank Psy? STRAT # LENGTH OF FIGHT RISK
  50. 1 safe 100% Either 1 1:30 High
  51. 1 safe Other Either 2 1:15 High
  52. 1 Psy 100% Either 3 1:33 High
  53. 1 Psy Other Either 4 1:18 High
  54. 1 2 EQs 100% Either 5 1:22 Low
  55. 1 2 EQs Other No 6 1:28 Low
  56. 1 2 EQs Either Yes 7 1:15 Low
  57.  
  58. 2 safe 100% Either 8 1:47 Medium-high
  59. 2 safe other Either 9 1:53 Medium
  60. 2 Psy 100% Either 10 1:51 Medium-high
  61.  
  62. BEFORE THE FIGHT:
  63. - Revive any dead Pokemon
  64. - If you're Reviving, you're in Psychic/EQ kill range OR you'll be using strat 1 or 3, heal to the most optimal HP you can given your healing items. Otherwise, enter the fight without healing
  65. - If using strat 2, 4, 6, 7 or 9, swap Abra to slot 2
  66.  
  67. ----------------------
  68. IV. Minor variables
  69. ----------------------
  70.  
  71. SPEED MODIFIERS
  72. - Split speed (x/20-26/6-11) = Do not use the X Speed, and move ONLY Swampert's actions up a turn
  73. - Above speed (x/27/12+) = Always use X Special(s) first and X Speed last (if necessary)
  74. (The strats below assume below Speed)
  75.  
  76. COMPLICATIONS
  77. - An untimely critical hit, including your own on Claydol, will disrupt the fight considerably. You can still win unless it's a critical that kills Swampert, but this will likely require additional healing and reviving.
  78. - If Claydol uses Ancientpower on Swampert instead of Psychic (strats 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 10), you need to hope for one of the following outcomes:
  79. > Ancientpower puts Swampert into Torrent
  80. > You kill Xatu despite not having Torrent (crit, godly Sp. Atk or 2 X Spec strats), and then Lunatone doesn't kill you
  81. > Xatu uses Psychic and doesn't kill you
  82. > Xatu uses Calm Mind and you crit through it or tank the +1 Psychic
  83. (If Xatu uses Sunny Day, it's just run over)

  480. IF 1 X SPEC (assuming 2 EQs)
  481.  
  482. (Slot 2: Castform)
  483. Turn 1: X Special, Powder Snow OR heal Swampert to 2 EQs
  484. (Castform dies, send out flier)
  485. (Flier blocks EQ)
  486. Turn 2: Surf, Max Revive Castform
  487. (Flier dies, send out Castform)
  488. (Castform tanks AP or Psychic)
  489. Turn 3: X Speed, Powder Snow
  490. (Castform dies)
  491. (Claydol's EQ always puts Swampert into Torrent)
  492. Turn 4: Surf
  493. Turn 5: Surf
  494.  
  495. NOTE: If you have x/20/6+ IV Speed and Castform does not tank the AP or Psychic, skip the X Speed and just Surf. You're hoping Xatu will use Psychic (about 35% chance), which will put you into Torrent. Then you'll outspeed Claydol and kill it (and Xatu) before you get hit by EQ.
