Decisions about attacks
Attacks, for the purposes of the Battle Palace, are divided into three categories: attack moves, defensive moves, and sneaky moves. Depending on a Pokemon's nature, a Pokemon is more likely to use certain kinds of attacks than others.
The ratios for a Pokemon to select attacks of a certain kind are shown below. If the Pokemon doesn't have an attack of the selected kind, it will "appear incapable of using its power."
Normally, the Pokemon uses the ratios in the "Usual" columns. However, when its HP becomes less than or equal to half its total HP, rounded down, the game will note this (for example: "X is eager for more!"). Then use the ratios in the "In a pinch" columns (even if its HP becomes greater than half). This change in strategy will occur at the end of the round (after end-of-round effects) if the Pokemon is not asleep and its HP is less than or equal to half its total HP, rounded down.
