Pokémon Battle Bot

A discord bot for Pokémon battles

Setup

• Install the requirements using pip install -r requirements.txt
• Rename .env-keys to .env and store your Discord bot token
• Run python -m main to start the Discord bot

Both pokémon's HP bar and your pokémon's available moves will be shown in buttons using a Discord view. A run away button is also available to end the battle before one of the pokémon is unable to battle.

The battle messages will be shown above the battlefield picture, displaying the moves used and the damage dealt.

Every move has a limited number of power points, which is the number of times a pokémon can use the move. When a move runs out of power points, its button will be grayed out and you can no longer use that move.

Slash Commands

• /battle [pokemon1] [pokemon2] - Challenge the bot to a 1v1 pokémon battle using the selected pokémon
• /random - Challenge the bot to a 1v1 battle with randomly selected pokémon. The bot will use moves randomly
• /smart - Challenge the bot to a 1v1 battle with randomly selected pokémon. The bot will use the best possible moves against your pokémon
• /moveinfo [move_name] - Display information about a move

The bot edits and updates its own message and view buttons, so it won't spam messages on every used move.

All pokémon and moves data were obtained from Pokémon Showdown's Pokédex: sprites, pokémon data. Information about formulas for damage calculation was obtained from Bulbapedia.
