Kantoptimal

This an introductory Optaplanner project meant to create optimal Pokemon teams for the Kanto region as seen in Pokemon Red, and Pokemon Blue.

Building the application with Gradle

./gradlew bootJar

This should build a file in build/libs with a name like kantoptimal-x.y-SNAPSHOT.jar

To run the jar for version 1.0 run.

java -jar ./build/libs/kantoptimal-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Phases of the planner:

  1. The types of your pokemon are effective against are as big as possible, I assume every pokemon has a decent STAB attack for their type or types -> lets try to 15 types of offensive coverage

  2. The best offense is not always the best defense. Let's make sure I have as few weaknesses as possible while still covering offense

  3. It is better to be strong against things you are not weak against.

  4. Incorporate their actual movesets such that attacks with power 60 or greater are the only ones considered "viable"

  5. Remove the STAB requirement from moves, look at pokemon as a vehicle for offensive coverage by their moveset, not their types

  6. Special Attack and Physical Attacks are different try to optimize for coverage of both so physical and special defenses can be overcome.
