Note that the game does not simulate battles between two CPU Trainers. Instead, the outcome between two CPU Trainers is broken down as follows: each Trainer is scored based upon the sum of the following:
* The type affinity of damaging attacks: each attack dealing damage on the team is compared against each Pokémon on the opposing team. 4 points are awarded if the attack is normally effective, 12 if super-effective, and 20 if 4x super-effective. No points are awarded if the attack is resisted. 8 points are deducted if the attack is 4x resisted, and 16 points are deducted if the attack is ineffective. For the purposes of calculating this, {{type|Ground}} attacks are considered to be neutral against Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}. Against Pokémon with {{a|Wonder Guard}}, type matchups that are not super-effective do not award nor deduct points.

====CPU Pokémon Selection====
====CPU Pokémon Selection====
To determine the Pokémon sent out by a CPU Trainer against the player, each of the CPU Trainer's three Pokémon is given a score. There are two scoring methods, which are chosen at random: the offensive method and defensive method. Both methods compare the type affinity of the Pokémon's damaging attacks against each of the three Pokémon on the player's team. In the offensive method, 2 points are awarded if the attack is normally effective, 4 if super-effective, and 8 if 4x super-effective. In the defensive method, 2 points are awarded if the attack is resisted, 4 if 4x resisted, and 8 if ineffective. 2 points are deducted if super-effective, and 4 are deducted if 4x super-effective. No points are awarded or deducted in any other scenario. For the purposes of this calculation, type matchups that are not super-effective against Pokémon with {{a|Wonder Guard}} are ignored (no points are awarded or deducted), and {{type|Ground}} attacks are considered to be neutral against Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}.

If all three Pokémon tie in one method, the other method is used. If all three Pokémon tie in the second method, then two Pokémon and the order they appear are chosen at random. Otherwise, the two highest-scoring Pokémon is chosen (if there is a tie for the second selection, the second selection of Pokémon is chosen at random). There is a 40% chance that the CPU Trainer will lead off with the higher-scoring Pokémon, and a 60% chance of leading off with the lower-scoring Pokémon.
