Ai should consider Tera Type

[pkmnsnfrn]

Description

When making a decision against the Player, the AI should consider:

• Has the enemy Pokémon undergone the Terastal phenomenon? If so, what is its new type?
• Could the enemy Pokémon undergo the Terastal phenomenon? If so, what is its new type likely to be?
• Can I (NPC trainer) Tera? if so, am I likely to avoid an attack?
• If I (NPC trianer) Tera, will the additional STAB get me a KO?

In addition to this. The AI should consider:

• If I (NPC trianer) Tera, will the additional STAB get me a KO?

Has the enemy Pokémon undergone the Terastal phenomenon? If so, what is its new type?
Could the enemy Pokémon undergo the Terastal phenomenon? If so, what is its new type likely to be?

Both of those are already present. When doing AI calcs and the ai has a tera type it will do it's calculations with the tera typing.

This isn't regarding using Tera type in calculations. Rather new AI behaviour pertaining to Tera. Somewhat mis-explained in the original post.

This is already present in the function AI_CalcDamage

    // Temporarily enable gimmicks for damage calcs if planned
    if (gBattleStruct->gimmick.usableGimmick[battlerAtk] && GetActiveGimmick(battlerAtk) == GIMMICK_NONE
        && !(gBattleStruct->gimmick.usableGimmick[battlerAtk] == GIMMICK_Z_MOVE && !considerZPower))
    {
        // Set Z-Move variables if needed
        if (gBattleStruct->gimmick.usableGimmick[battlerAtk] == GIMMICK_Z_MOVE && IsViableZMove(battlerAtk, move))
            gBattleStruct->zmove.baseMoves[battlerAtk] = move;

        toggledGimmick = TRUE;
        SetActiveGimmick(battlerAtk, gBattleStruct->gimmick.usableGimmick[battlerAtk]);
    }

Also small clarification. When I talk about AI calcs I mean calcs that are done before the actual damage calculations.

/Edit: I assume your idea is that based on the AI calculations the AI should decide if it is beneficial to terastal or not. E.g. if it already has a kill don't waste the tera on current mon.
