    I'm watching this. After 6 hours it managed to solve the rock boulder puzzle and now it's trying to break the Elite Four wall with its face. I'm no pokemon expert, but I'd say that no way in hell it beats them with this team composition. It has to take a step back, re-compose or at least re-train for overall higher levels. Will see if it manages to do it, my expectations are low.

      It has the option to go back and level up its pokemons + switch it up. Hopefully it gets the same idea as you soon!

        It's quite a long term plan it has to make:

        - establish a composition

        - train the selected composition to an appropriate level

        - ration PPs through 5 fights

        - ration items through 5 fights + globally (you can run out of money)

        - maybe even switch the order of pokemon on the list? Poor Graveler

        I'm not sure it can follow-through on this. Would be funny if it had to re-do the rock boulder puzzle. Guess I'll keep watching!

          It has continued to surprise me throughout all of this so hopefully it will again

            it's a fantastic demo and promo for the product though. Great idea, well executed, I'm genuinely curious on how this will go.
