TODO (favors HO) - needs a model (full in stats for opponent, use randbats heuristic of 85 evs or 252 evs depending on gen) - potentially need ability (Heatproof), item (AV)

(favors Bulky Offense, can play HO) - switch if can take expected hit and KO faster than can be KOed - really needs some sort of opponent model - needs to extend model further than MDP to include potential moves

Enchancements

(compare benefit)

Run competition against each other Compare performance on randbats ladders (N=100?) and respective Elo/GXE - respectful laddering to not spam, N games over duration D window

Issues - long term planning - non damaging moves (boosting/hazards/recovery) - switching
