I thought that, when I get a little free time, I may as well hold random Pokemon battles using the random number-and-damage calculator apparatus I used for Sea Cottage and what was done of the Pokemon World Cup (gym leader tournament). In case anyone doesn't know much about this, I have researched all of the techniques, abilities, battle mechanics and Pokemon of Pokemon and refresh my memory about these to allow me to do battles which are, for the most part, correspondent to battles in the games.
The only thing I do that the games don't is that I always take the minimum damage of an attack as the damage it deals. In case no one knows, the damage formula for Pokemon has a multiplier which is a random number between 0.85 and 1. That's why, in the games, the same attack used by the same Pokemon on the same target may do different damage on different turns. In these battles, I always multiply by 0.85, simply to be consistent and to make battles more defense-oriented.
I won't get to do this much since I've got a lot of issues to deal with in real life, but I'm open to ideas about what battles should be done. Basically, famous trainers whose teams and movesets are known, I can battle against others.
To start things off, I'll pit a familiar character against one from the new generation: Olivine Gym Leader Jasmine vs. Isshu Champion Adeku.
Movesets have been obtained from Bulbapedia:
Jasmine
Adeku
Since Kurimugan's (the dragon's) two other moves are unknown, I took the liberty to give him Earthquake and Fire Fang (in addition to Night Slash and Outrage) to afford him perfect type coverage.
In this battle, the Pokemon are sent out in rotation based on the order in which I saw their respective teams when they were first revealed:
Jasmine: Metagross, then Magnezone, Skarmory, Bronzong, Empoleon and, finally, Steelix
Adeku: Agirudaa, Buffalon, Kurimugan, Baibanira, Shubarugo, Urugamoth
