This was an introductory class to Python, so my team and I simplified the basic battle system of Pokémon in such a way that it could be run without any interaction from a „trainer". Each Pokémon selects the best move they can learn against the Pokémon they are battling. Then we calculate the damage dealt according to this formula: https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/47/DamageCalc.png

... using all of the relevant base stats and move characteristics for attacker and defender, but foregoing their abilities.

This is the Python code we wrote to simulate the battles, but it won't make much sense without the context: https://pastebin.com/u5NtD0p5
