[Question about the AI]

I know for a fact that the AI knows what Ability your Pokemon has, it also knowing what item you are carrying seems likely to me

 

Thanks, I didn’t know about the abilities. It would probably make sense then for it to know the items as well.

[Question about the AI]

Hi, maybe I don’t exactly understand how the AI works in this game but I found something a bit odd in one the new content battles in V13.

 

Spoiler

In the fight with Geara in axis high factory, I would use a switch in a garchomp with a life orb on his mega gengar to do super effective ground damage. This always results in him using hypnosis which almost always hits on his field. 

Then I swapped the life orb for a lum berry to avoid being put to sleep but then he would always use shadow ball and never hypnosis.

So what I was wondering is, does the AI know what items we give our pokemon without relying on an ability like frisk or a text telling the item like an air balloon or a seed?
