 *** CHANGES ***
 
 - Apr16: Corrected boundary condition for AI_Smart_Meanlook
 - Apr16: Corrected AI_Smart_Sleep (only encourages if enemy has Dream Eater or Nightmare and only 50/50 in that case)
 - Nov15: Cleaned up some formatting and wording in the writeup
 - Sep15: Corrected boundary conditions for HP comparisons (1/4, 1/2) and speed comparisons
 - Sep15: Corrected heal items
     -> Whether enemy is confused is irrelevant for choosing to use item
     -> 20% (not 50%) to heal when 25% < enemy's HP <= 50%
 - Sep15: Clarified that the 'first turn' check in the CAUTIOUS layer refers to the enemy's first turn
 - Sep15: Corrected error in Rain Dance / Sunny Day section (previously mixed 'player' up with 'enemy' in useful move check)
 
 
 *** TODO ***
 
 - Apr16: CheckPlayerMoveTypeMatchups function is not completely accounted for: affects Smart layers (MeanLook, PerishSong, BatonPass, Whirlwind)
     —> Cutoffs for ‘Player has shown NVE / neutral / SE moves’
 - Aug15: Differences between Gold & Crystal (esp. things that might have been added/modified for Battle Tower)?
 - Aug15: Revisit various assumptions that I didn't check thoroughly
 
 
 
 [[ Ed. Note ]]
 
 Massive credit to the pokecrystal (https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal) contributors, who did most of the difficult work. I am borrowing much of their terminology and findings with some additions, corrections/clarifications, and a more readable writeup.
 
 For those that didn't find this through the PSR forums, the corresponding thread can be found here: http://forums.pokemonspeedruns.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=490.
 
 Any item denoted with question marks (??) indicates that I haven't confirmed it through in-game testing.
 
 
 
 
 I. BASICS
 
 
 All moves start with an equal score (20).
 
 There are 10 ‘layers’ of AI; different trainer classes have different combinations of these layers. When choosing a move, each layer is navigated and might encourage (decrease the score of) or discourage (increase the score of) some of the enemy’s moves, depending on the current state of the battle.
 
 After going through each layer of AI, the move with the lowest score is selected. If there are ties, one of the moves with the lowest score is randomly selected. (The actual mechanics are a bit more convoluted than this, but this is in effect what happens.)
 
 Unlike in Gen 1, the trainers do not ‘cheat’. They make their decisions before the player character chooses what to do.
 
 
 
 
 II. ITEMS/SWITCHING
 
 
 Before checking for moves, trainers with items will do a check to possibly use an item, if their highest level Pokemon (including ties) is currently out.
 
 There is a lot of logic, but only a few items are actually used in practice:
 
 (a) Dire Hit
         - 50/50 on enemy’s first turn.
 
 (b) Full Heal
         - Always used if statused
 
 (c) Hyper Potion/Max Potion
         - Always used if enemy's HP is 25% or below
         - 20% (50/256) if 25% < enemy’s HP <= 50%
 
 (d) Full Restore
         - Always used if statused
         - Always used if enemy's HP is 25% or below
         - 20% (50/256) if 25% < enemy’s HP <= 50%
 
 Trainers can also switch Pokemon before the move checks, but I haven’t delved into the details. One situation they will always switch is if their currently active Pokemon’s perish count is at 1. Apart from that, it appears rare (at best). (??)
 
 
 
 
 III. TRAINER CLASSES AND LAYERS
 
 
 Everyone has the BASIC + STATUS layers except for wild Pokemon and Twins (who choose moves at random).
 
 The RISKY layer is worth singling out; trainers with this layer will essentially lock in to moves that can KO (with the exception of a few ‘risky’ moves). ‘Can KO’ effectively means ‘has a chance to KO, barring crits or max damage rolls’.
 
 SMART is the most complex layer and is effectively comprised of a large number of sub-layers. SMART is reserved for the ‘boss’ battles, as well as the outcasts of the pokeworld (Super Nerds/Jugglers/Pokefans).
 
 Trainer classes approximately sorted by complexity/difficulty:

 IV. SCORING LAYER MECHANICS
 
 
 The probabilities and the impact of each clause on a move’s score is inlined below. E.g. (+1) = score of relevant move(s) is increased by 1.
 
 ‘Enemy’ always refers to the NPC AI's currently active Pokemon. ‘Player’ always refers to the player character's currently active Pokemon.
 
 
 NOTE - 'First turn' clause:
 
 Use of items does not increment a Pokemon's turn number in battle. Therefore, if the player character uses an item on the first turn of its currently active Pokemon, it will remain that Pokemon’s ‘first turn’ for the purposes of AI.
 
 Can be seen in the following layers:
     - (2) SETUP
     - (7) CAUTIOUS
     - [10.18] Smart_Bind
     - [10.22] Smart_SpeedDownHit
     - [10.42] Smart_Curse
     - [10.49] Smart_Swagger | Smart_Attract
     - [10.55] Smart_RainDance
     - [10.56] Smart_SunnyDay
 
 
 
 
 (1) BASIC   ; Don’t do anything redundant.
 
 > Everyone (except Twins & Wild Pokemon)
 
 
 (a) Dismiss (+10) moves with special effects if they are useless or not a good choice right now.
 
  > Recover, Softboiled, Rest, Milk Drink, Morning Sun, Synthesis, Moonlight, Light Screen, Mist, Focus Energy, Transform, Reflect, Substitute, Snore, Sleep Talk, Mean Look, Nightmare, Spikes, Foresight, Perish Song, Safeguard, Sandstorm, Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Teleport, Future Sight, Dream Eater, Leech Seed, Disable, Encore, Attract, Supersonic, Confuse Ray, Sweet Kiss, Swagger
 
 
 NOTE - The only non-obvious case(s): Supersonic, Confuse Ray, Sweet Kiss consider whether player currently has a Safeguard in effect; however, this check is not performed when considering Swagger.
 
 
 (b) Dismiss (+10) status-only moves if the player can't be statused, taking into account whether the player currently has a Safeguard in effect.
 
 > Sing, Sleep Powder, Hypnosis, Lovely Kiss, Spore, Toxic, Poisonpowder, Poison Gas, Stun Spore, Thunder Wave, Glare
 
 
 NOTE - The disassembly includes a note (‘dismiss Safeguard if it's already active’), but this is inaccurate; as mentioned above, this is a check to see if the player character's team has a safeguard active. (Also quite kind of Game Freak to not include checks for Mist/Guard Spec on stat-down moves as they do for Safeguard on status moves, making Red far more reasonable to deal with.)
 
 
 
 
 (2) SETUP   ; Use stat-modifying moves on turn 1
 
 > Bug Catcher, Gentleman, Pokemaniac, Swimmer (M/F), Guitarist, Firebreather, Schoolboy, Scientist, Skier, Sage, Medium, Grunt (M), Executive (M/F), "Boss"
 
 
 (a) 50% to greatly encourage (-2) stat-up moves during the enemy's first turn.
 
 > Meditate, Sharpen, Swords Dance, Harden, Withdraw, Barrier, Acid Armor, Agility, Growth, Amnesia, Double Team, Minimize
 
 
 (b) 50% to greatly encourage (-2) stat-down moves during the player's first turn. (NOTE - 'First turn' clause applies. This is why Red’s Pikachu continues to use Charm with equal probability while the player sets up.)
 
 > Growl, Charm, Tail Whip, Leer, Screech, String Shot, Cotton Spore, Scary Face, Sand-Attack, Smokescreen, Kinesis, Flash, Sweet Scent
 
 
 (c) Otherwise, 88% (226/256) to greatly discourage (+2) stat-modifying moves.
 
 
 
 
 (3) TYPES   ; Use effective moves; don’t use ineffective moves
 
 > Boarder, Officer, Bird Keeper, Beauty, Fisher, Psychic, Kimono Girl, Swimmer (M/F), Guitarist, Schoolboy, Super Nerd, Juggler, Pokefan (M/F), Biker, Scientist, Skier, Sage, Medium, Grunt (M/F), Executive (M/F)
 
 
 (a) Dismiss (+10) any move that the player is immune to.
 (b) Encourage (-1) super-effective moves.
 (c) Discourage (+1) not very effective moves unless all damaging moves are of the same type.
 
 
 NOTE - The immune check appears to consider moves regardless of whether they do damage. The super/not very effective checks only considers moves with non-zero move power. It appears moves with a power of 1 are still considered (Horn Drill, Counter, Seismic Toss, Fissure, Night Shade, Psywave, Super Fang, Flail, Reversal, Return, Present, Frustration, Magnitude, Hidden Power, Mirror Coat), which includes many moves that don’t make too much sense to include (??).
 
 
 
 (4) OFFENSIVE   ; Don’t use non-damaging moves
 
 > Hiker, Sailor, Burglar, Bird Keeper, Pokemaniac, Swimmer (M), Firebreather, Blackbelt
 
 
 (a) Greatly discourage (+2) non-damaging moves (i.e. moves with power = 0).
 
 
 > Non-damaging moves (power = 0)
 
 Guillotine (!?), Whirlwind, Sand-Attack, Tail Whip, Leer, Growl, Roar, Sing, Supersonic, Disable, Mist, Leech Seed, Growth, Poisonpowder, Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, String Shot, Thunder Wave, Toxic, Hypnosis, Meditate, Agility, Teleport, Mimic, Screech, Double Team, Recover, Harden, Minimize, Smokescreen, Confuse Ray, Withdraw, Defense Curl, Barrier, Light Screen, Haze, Reflect, Focus Energy, Bide, Metronome, Mirror Move, Amnesia, Kinesis, Softboiled, Glare, Poison Gas, Lovely Kiss, Transform, Spore, Flash, Splash, Acid Armor, Rest, Sharpen, Conversion, Substitute, Sketch, Spider Web, Mind Reader, Nightmare, Curse, Cotton Spore, Spite, Scary Face, Sweet Kiss, Belly Drum, Spikes, Foresight, Destiny Bond, Perish Song, Detect, Lock On, Sandstorm, Endure, Charm, Swagger, Milk Drink, Mean Look, Attract, Sleep Talk, Heal Bell, Safeguard, Pain Split, Baton Pass, Encore, Sweet Scent, Morning Sun, Synthesis, Moonlight, Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Psych Up
 
 
 
 (5) OPPORTUNIST   ; Discourage stall moves when the enemy's HP is low.
 
 > Teacher, Sailor, Boarder, Officer, Bird Keeper, Beauty, Fisher, Psychic, Kimono Girl, Firebreather, Schoolboy, Grunt (F), Grunt (M), Executive (M/F)
 
 
 (a) Do nothing (+0) if enemy's HP is above 50%.
 (b) Discourage (+1) stall moves if enemy's HP is 25% or below.
 (c) 50% to discourage (+1) stall moves if 25% < enemy’s HP <= 50%.
 
 
 > Stall moves
 
 Swords Dance, Tail Whip, Leer, Growl, Disable, Mist, Counter, Leech Seed, Growth, String Shot, Meditate, Agility, Rage, Mimic, Screech, Harden, Withdraw, Defense Curl, Barrier, Light Screen, Haze, Reflect, Focus Energy, Bide, Amnesia, Transform, Splash, Acid Armor, Sharpen, Conversion, Substitute, Flame Wheel
 
 
 
 (6) AGGRESSIVE   ; Discourage damaging moves besides the one that deals the most damage.
 
 > Gentleman, Teacher, Pokemaniac, "Boss"
 
 
 (a) Discourage moves (+1) that aren't the most damaging move with the following exceptions:
     - Do nothing (+0) if the move deals no damage or variable damage (power is 0 or 1).
     - Do nothing (+0) if the move is reckless.
 
 
 > Reckless Moves
 
 - EXPLOSION:   Selfdestruct, Explosion
 - RAMPAGE:     Thrash, Petal Dance, Outrage
 - MULTI-HIT:   Doubleslap, Comet Punch, Fury Attack, Pin Missile, Spike Cannon, Barrage, Fury Swipes, Bone Rush
 - DOUBLE-HIT:  Double Kick, Bonemerang
 
 
 > Variable damage moves (power = 1)
 
 Horn Drill, Counter, Seismic Toss, Fissure, Night Shade, Psywave, Super Fang, Flail, Reversal, Return, Present, Frustration, Magnitude, Hidden Power, Mirror Coat
 
 
 NOTE - Reckless moves and moves with variable damage are considered when determining the strongest move; however, they will not be discouraged if they are not the strongest move. The AI damage calcs are separate from the damage formula, so some moves with 1 power may not be sensibly calculated (??).
 
 NOTE - Some other exceptional cases: damage calcs for Fury Cutter, Rage, and Rollout appear to always be based off the first 'stage' of damage.
 
 
 
 (7) CAUTIOUS   ; Discourage moves with residual effects after turn 1
 
 > Lass, Picnicker, Camper, Burglar, Beauty, Fisher, Psychic, Kimono Girl, Swimmer (F), Guitarist, Schoolboy, Sage, Medium, Grunt (M/F), Executive (M/F), "Boss"
 
 
 (a) 90% (230/256) to discourage (+1) moves with residual effects after the enemy's first turn. (NOTE - 'First turn' clause applies.)
 
 
 > Residual moves
 
 Mist, Leech Seed, Poisonpowder, Stun Spore, Thunder Wave, Focus Energy, Bide, Poison Gas, Transform, Conversion, Substitute, Spikes
 
 
 
 (8) STATUS   ; Dismiss status moves that don't affect the player.
 
 > Everyone (except Twins & Wild Pokemon)
 
 
 (a) Poisonpowder, Poison Gas, Toxic dismissed (+10) if the player is Poison-type
 (b) Status-only moves (Sing, Sleep Powder, Hypnosis, Lovely Kiss, Spore, Toxic, Poisonpowder, Poison Gas, Stun Spore, Thunder Wave, Glare) dismissed (+10) if the player has a type that is immune to the status move’s type
 
 
 NOTE - It appears the immunity is checked even if the move does work against the player (e.g. Sing against a Ghost type) (??)
 
 
 
 (9) RISKY   ; Use moves that can KO the target, excepting some risky moves
 
 > Biker, Blackbelt, Scientist, Skier, Sage, Medium, Grunt (M/F), Executive (M/F), "Boss"
 
 
 (a) Extremely encourage (-5) any non-risky move that can KO the player.
 (b) Ignore (+0) risky moves if the enemy’s HP is full.
 (c) If the enemy’s HP is not full, consider risky moves that can KO the target
     - 78% (200/256) to do nothing (+0)
     - 22%  (56/256) to extremely encourage them (-5).
 
 
 > Risky Moves
 
 - EXPLOSION:  Selfdestruct, Explosion
 - OHKO:       Guillotine, Horn Drill, Fissure
 
 
 NOTE - ‘Can KO’ effectively means ‘has a chance to KO, barring crits or max damage rolls’.
 
 NOTE - The AI damage calcs are separate from the damage formula, so some moves with 1 power may not be sensibly calculated (??).
 
 NOTE - Some other exceptional cases: damage calcs for Fury Cutter, Rage, and Rollout appear to always be based off the first 'stage' of damage.
 
 
 
 (10) SMART   ; Context-specific scoring
 
 > Super Nerd, Juggler, Pokefan (M/F), Executive (M/F), "Boss"
 
 
 The following sublayers are only considered for relevant moves. With the exception of the Smart_LockOn sublayer, only the scores of the relevant moves will be adjusted.
 
 
 ; IMPORTANT NOTE - Steps are laid out in an if-then-else logic. If a conditional is met for a given step, it is implied that the scoring function completes and returns (unless it is specifically stated otherwise). This includes steps with chance elements; "x% to encourage/discourage" implies "(100-x)% to DO NOTHING". If the conditional is not met, then continue to the next step. In some complex cases, there are nested conditionals.
 
 ; For example, consider the Smart_Haze sublayer:
 
 ; (a) 84% (216/256) to encourage (-1) if any of enemy's stat levels is lower than -2 or if any of player's stat levels is higher than +2
 ; (b) Otherwise, discourage (+1)
 
 ; In the 16% chance that the roll to encourage Haze fails, the scoring function DOES NOTHING (+0) and returns. Discouraging Haze in (b) only takes place if the conditional in (a) is not met (i.e. if all of the enemy’s stat levels are at least -2 and if all of the player’s stat levels are at most +2).
 
 
 
 [10.01] Smart_Sleep   > Sing, Sleep Powder, Hypnosis, Lovely Kiss, Spore
 
 (a) 50% to greatly encourage (-2) if the enemy has either Dream Eater or Nightmare.
 
 
 NOTE - This takes place regardless of whether the player is statused. The BASIC layer will take care of dismissing sleep moves if they will have no effect.
 
 
 
 [10.02] Smart_LeechHit   > Absorb, Mega Drain, Giga Drain, Leech Life
 
 (a) 60% (156/256) to discourage (+1) if the player resists the move.
 (b) Do nothing (+0) if the move deals neutral damage to the player.
 (c) Else, do nothing (+0) if enemy's HP is full.
 (d) Else, 80% (206/256) to encourage (-1) if it is super effective against the player and the enemy is not at max HP.
 
 
 
 [10.03] Smart_Explosion   > Explosion, Selfdestruct
 
 (a) Greatly discourage (+3) if this is the foe's last Pokemon and the player character has multiple Pokemon left
 (b) Otherwise:
     - Greatly discourage (+3) if enemy’s HP is above 50%
     - 92% (236/256) to greatly discourage (+3) if 25% < enemy’s HP <= 50%
 
 
 
 [10.04] Smart_DreamEater   > Dream Eater
 
 (a) 90% (231/256) to greatly encourage (-3)
 
 
 NOTE - This takes place regardless of whether the player is asleep. The BASIC layer will take care of dismissing Dream Eater if the player is awake.
 
 
 
 [10.05] Smart_MirrorMove   > Mirror Move
 
 (a) If the player did not use any move last turn
     - Do nothing (+0) if enemy is not faster than player
     - Dismiss (+10) if enemy is faster than player
 
 (b) If player did use a move last turn
     - Do nothing (+0) if the move was not a useful move
     - If the move was useful, do BOTH of the following checks:
         : 50% to encourage (-1)
         : 90% (231/256) to encourage (-1) if enemy is faster than player
 
 
 > Useful moves
 
 Double Edge, Sing, Flamethrower, Hydro Pump, Surf, Ice Beam, Blizzard, Hyper Beam, Sleep Powder, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Earthquake, Toxic, Psychic, Hypnosis, Recover, Fire Blast, Softboiled, Super Fang
 
 
 
 [10.06] Smart_EvasionUp   > Double Team, Minimize
 
 NOTE - ‘Continue’ means the function does not return, but instead jumps ahead to the next 'section', where further computations are performed. Computation will go from section i -> ii -> iii -> iv unless there is a note that says to return.
